Making a gift Pokémon replace a party member

[kentasaiba]

If I get a pokemon from someone, how can I send one of my team-pokemon to the box to take the pokemon into my team?

I made an event (purely for testing and learning purposes) which does what you seem to describe.

Screen One + Screen Two

Some of the flavor text is cut off, but you can get the gist. If you have less than a full party, the event asks if you want to receive a Ditto. If you have 6 pokemon, it asks if you want to deposit one--and if you do, you then receive the Ditto.

Anyway, if you use the wiki, it shouldn't be too difficult to make events like this. I mean, even I can do it.

I have an event in my game that forces you to send a Pokemon to the PC before you receive it, like the Xerneas and Rayquaza events in Gen VI. let me look at the code.

  def pbAddPokemonKickParty(pokemon,level=nil,seeform=true)
    return if !pokemon || !$Trainer
    if $Trainer.party.length>=6
      pbDisplayPaused(_INTL("Your party is full, and something's preventing {1} from going to the PC.",pokemon.name))
      pbDisplayPaused(_INTL("Choose a party member to send back."))
      loop do
        [email protected](1,3)
        if $game_variables[1]>=0
          commands=[]
          cmdShift=-1
          cmdSummary=-1
          pkmnindex=$game_variables[1]
          commands[cmdShift=commands.length]=_INTL("Send to PC")
          commands[cmdSummary=commands.length]=_INTL("Summary")
          commands[commands.length]=_INTL("Cancel")
          command=pbShowCommands(_INTL("Do what with {1}?",$Trainer.party[pkmnindex].name),commands,false)
          if cmdShift>=0 && command==cmdShift
            $PokemonStorage.pbStoreCaught($Trainer.party[pkmnindex])
            pbRemovePokemonAt(pkmnindex)
            pbAddPokemon(pokemon,level,seeform)
            return
          elsif cmdSummary>=0 && command==cmdSummary
            scene.pbSummary(activecmd)
          end
        end
      end
    else
      pbAddPokemon(pokemon,level,seeform)
    end
  end

There you go. Add that in PSystem_Utilities, then use that in any events where you want to force the player to add the event Pokemon to their party.

My code actually has a species requirement as well as the party size check, because it's in and amongst the code for snagged [Shadow] Pokemon. But I removed that from this one, because it sounds to me like you're wanting to use this in a gift Pokemon event.
