    So i made myself a custom pokedex. i put in 101 pokemon just for now and tested it. I revised the dex and there are no missing spots, but when i went to my event to give me the dex, it didnt give me my dex (which btw is dex number 9) i tried a few other dexes (dexes 7 and 8) and thise ones did work, but for some reason the dex that i made doesnt show up. could i get some help?

    Does your dex appear in the Debug menu? (Information editor > Edit Regional dex)

    I must say, I really don't understand your issue.
    Paste this in an Event and tell me what it says:
    Code:
      s = "Unlocked: "
      $PokemonGlobal.pokedexUnlocked.each_with_index { |dex, i|
        s += _INTL("{1}: {2}", i, dex)
      }
      pbMessage(s)
    (Use extendtext.exe just in case)
     
    ok idk how to do either but basically, i made a 9th pokedex, and when i do pbUnlockDex(9) it doesnt unlock the ninth pokedex. I even put it with pbUnlockDex(7) and that does work
     
    ill just post a video of my issue (if that doesnt work then ill just send pictures)
    You can use OBS.

    Can you tell me the result of the script I gave you?
    Also, if you use pbUnlockDex(8) and then pbUnlockDex(9) (in this order) do you have the issue?
     
    omg i dont think i did im so dumb. how do i do that just to make sure i did or didnt?

    It should be obvious if you did it or not if you look at your townmap.txt file, so I think it's safe to assume you didn't. Just copy the entry for the Tiall region, but obviously set it to region 9 instead of 1. You may also need regions 2-8 defined as well, probably. I'm assuming you must have dexes for those regions if you're using dex 9 for your custom dex.
     
    wheres the tiall region dex entry

    Idk what you mean. Tiall is set as region 1 by default, so that should correspond to dex 1, which is is the Johto Dex by default.
     
    im triggering the event that gives me the 9th dex
    Post what your townmaps.txt file looks like, I feel like you did something wrong. With spoiler tags, please lol
