[Question] Pokemon cross Breeding

[AceTrainerGecx]

Im currently spinning with the idea to implement Pokémon cross breeds, but Im struggling to figure out the coding and how it would work, any Help would be appreciated

You'll have to be more specific about what you're trying to do. Are you imagining something like Pokémon Infinite Fusion where you can combine two Pokémon to get something that inherits some of the types, abilities, movesets, etc from both parents (if so, see also this thread with some ideas from me about how to generate better art than IF has)?

 

[AceTrainerGecx]

The idea is similar, cross breeding in reference that the mother Pokémon as the base Pokémon with the father Pokémon effecting the form, so if you had an Female Lycanroc and a Male Mightiena the result would be a Rockruff with a more scruffy form with some poocheyena coloration, and only with Pokemon that make sense so no cross breeds of wailord and skitty for example

Okay, so my second link might provide some inspiration for how you could automatically generate the graphics for those crossbreeds.

Do you have other specific questions about the coding? What have you written so far, and what problems have you encountered that you want opinions/advice on?

I'd recommend starting with something simpler. While full cross breeds would be super fun, they'd also require a lot of work. Can you pick something smaller that would still be fun for the player, but let them know what it is they're getting?
A few "simple" ideas:
* The species is based on the mother, but the palette / coloration comes from the father.
* The child can have the father's ability
* The child can have the father's types
* The child's base-stats come from its parents instead of being statically determined based on species.

Depending on what kind of game you're wanting to make, these could be far easier to implement than fully custom cross-breeds. But "easier" doesn't mean "easy" - any of these alone would still be rather ambitious.

I noiced that the alolan/delta script found here:
was able to use a custom flag to breed alolan pokemon naturally. using that as a base we could mod a script to work like you described.
