Is there a code to give the player a random pokemon

[jacesarcanine]

I wanted to add in a fourth option for starters that gives the player a random pokemon, preferably first stage. Is there a code that does that

I don't think there's a script that does that, but you could set a Variable to a random number (e.g. range 1-10), and then create 10 Conditional Branches, the condition being "If variable equals X", X being a different number from the range. Each Conditional Branch will contain the regular Pokemon adding script, and each will give the player a different Pokemon.

I'm sorry I'm very visual. Could you by chance give me an example

It's even simpler than that

pbAddToParty((rand(PBSpecies.maxValue)+1),20)

20 is the level. Note that this can give any pokemon, including legendaries. If you want to blacklist certain pokemon, you will have to make a slight change.

Edit, just reread what you asked

randpoke=pbGetBabySpecies((rand(PBSpecies.maxValue)+1))
pbAddToParty(randpoke,20)

This still can include legendaries though.

This way a pokémon like Caterpie (numbers 10, 11 and 12) have three times more chance than a pokémon without evolution like Carnivine (number 455) because its numbers are 1. Eevee just have eight times the chance.

I suggest you to use a Random Egg generator and remove the "Egg" part.
