[Scripting Question] Make NPC Check if player has a pokemon on him

[Chronoxx98]

Hello !

So I am making a new pokemon game with a group of friends, we are doing very well but,
we would like a guy between our Route 1 and our first Town to check if the player has a Pokemon on him, and if not, make the player turn back into the town and let the player go into the lab to get his pokemon..

I tried to copy the Guard from the Cycling Road Gate, and try to modify so he doesn't check if the player has a bicycle but a pokemon.. But i didn't find how..

Thank you very much,

I believe the wiki (this page) might help you:

pbCheckAble(0)
Ignoring the Pok?mon with the party index given, returns TRUE if the player has any able Pok?mon, and FALSE if they don't.

$Trainer.pokemonCount
Returns the number of Pok?mon in the player's party (unfainted and fainted).

Based on those scripts, use a Conditional Branch to check the player's party.

Hello, I tried but actually it is not working :/

Could you help me with more info ? :(

This way is working fine for me:

You can also use pbAllFainted instead of $Trainer.pokemonCount==0

Wouldn't it be easier to use the variable for the starters? Like making a conditional branch with the argument "if game_variable [X]==0"
