Pokedex #000

[Snyffus]

Hey Community :)

As I asked on Reddit a day before (cant post Links at the moment) I am trying to find a way to make an own Pokémon with Number 0 in the Pokédex, as Number 0 cant be added in the pokemon.txt in the PBS folder, because the numbers there start at 1.
mej71 answered on my post, but as I am quite new I need clear Instructions on how to solve my problem and maybe here is someone who could help me out :)

Change what's in green , and the pokedex should read it as 0

that should work in the pbs

Damn....I thought it would work because it looked right. But it doesn´t work. With your Script it just takes the Pokemon as number 999 in the Pokedex

seems like the pokedex doesn't want to read the "regional #" which is odd....

 

[mej71]

Are you using the regional dex? The 999 would be it's number in the national dex, regional # isn't used there. I'm not sure how it will respond to 0 though.

 

[Snyffus]

I use the kanto dex and the national dex. I tried a little around and found out that if I use the script form Zeak6464 my kanto dex dont show the pokemon and in national dex it still has the number 999. Other Numbers (so not zero) change the number in the kantodex. So the ''RegionalNumbers'' line only changes the kanto dex but even here 0 is not allowed as it seems.

Try finding this, and changing the red number

if regionalSpecies.length==1
      # If no regional species defined, use National Pokédex order
      for i in 1..PBSpecies.maxValue
        regionalSpecies.push(i)
      end
    end
    for i in [COLOR="red"]0[/COLOR]...regionalSpecies.length
      nationalSpecies=regionalSpecies[i]
      if pbCanAddForModeList?($PokemonGlobal.pokedexMode,nationalSpecies)
        pbDexDataOffset(dexdata,nationalSpecies,33)
        height=dexdata.fgetw
        weight=dexdata.fgetw
        # Pushing national species, name, height, weight, index number
        shift=DEXINDEXOFFSETS.include?(region)
        dexlist.push([nationalSpecies,
           PBSpecies.getName(nationalSpecies),height,weight,i,shift])
      end
    end

 

[desbrina]

have a look here under regional dex settings -> DEXINDEXOFFSETS, it tells you have to start a dex from 0 as a regional dex
https://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Multiple_regions

if you want the national dex to start from 0, i guess you could start a regional dex in place of the national dex and do it via the above method

      nationalSpecies=regionalSpecies[i]
      if pbCanAddForModeList?($PokemonGlobal.pokedexMode,nationalSpecies)
        pbDexDataOffset(dexdata,nationalSpecies,33)
        height=dexdata.fgetw
        weight=dexdata.fgetw
        # Pushing national species, name, height, weight, index number
        shift=DEXINDEXOFFSETS.include?(region)
        dexlist.push([nationalSpecies,
           PBSpecies.getName(nationalSpecies),height,weight,i,shift])
      end
    end

Hmm....changed it but still the same as written before. Kanto dex dont show the pokemon and national dex showes number 999

 

[Snyffus]

Because I´am still bad at programming I tried around with changing some lines and so on. I found a way to let my pokemon be the number 000 in the pokedex, but it´s only a visual change or something similar. The lines change the number 1000 (which i took in my pokemon.txt ind the PBS) to number 0 in the pokedex but "unlocks" all numbers till 999 (so like i have catched/saw number 1000). Here the bad code :D

        if nationalSpecies == 1000
          dexlist.push([nationalSpecies,PBSpecies.getName(nationalSpecies),height,weight,0])
        else

Just added that over the line

shift=DEXINDEXOFFSETS.include?(region)

In the PokemonPokedex section

is this what you was meaning if so its pretty easy just maybe a little bit of a pain

Yeah that´s what i want to have. But not Bulbasaur should be #000. Thats why i used my code there

 

[p.claydon]

yh just add ur number 000 before bulbasaur and rename them all by +1 and then set the pokedex offset by -1

Yeah I know that but thats a lot of stupid work :D But thx anyway. I think if there is no easy way I have to take that pain :P

There's a Regional Dex editor in the External Editor. I think that'd make things relatively simple.

 

[p.claydon]

i think he wanted it to happen for the national dex so regional dex ids wouldnt work would they?

 

[Maruno]

Make a Regional Dex that looks like the National Dex. It's not hard. There's a shortcut to do this in the Regional Dex editor.
