Randomized Pokemon Script

[☆Rei☆]

Just as the title states, it randomizes any and all pokemon you encounter. Whether it's a gift, a wild pokemon, or a trainer battle it'll all be random.

Although, you must activate a switch (see the comments on how to edit the switch number) for it to become active.

################################################################################
# Used for a randomized pokemon challenge mainly.
# 
# By randomized, I mean EVERY pokemon will be random, even interacted pokemon
#   like legendaries. (You may easily disable the randomizer for certain
#    situations like legendary battles and starter selecting.)
#
# To use: simply activate Switch Number X
#  (X = the number listed After "Switch = ", default is switch number 36.)
#
# If you want certain pokemon to NEVER appear, add them inside the black list.
#  (This does not take into effect if the switch stated above is off.)
#
# If you want ONLY certain pokemon to appear, add them to the whitelist. This
#   is only recommended when the amount of random pokemon available is around
#   32 or less.(This does not take into effect if the switch stated above is off.)

This is amazing and works perfectly. Thanks! How would you like me to credit you?

 

[☆Rei☆]

I don't really require any credits but if you want just add "Umbreon" in your credits

 

[Pumone]

Wow I've seen only now this great code, you just made my day!! =)

 

[Schrroms]

Awesome, this is exactly what I needed for my game!
Thanks, I'll credit you of course!

There is a line that looks like this in the script:

Switch = 36 # switch ID to randomize a pokemon, if it's on then ALL

Change "36" to the switch ID of what switch you want for this script to be activated.

Now in the intro say something like "Enable Random Pokemon? [Yes/No]"

Under Yes enable the switch mentioned above.

Hi Umbreon,

I activated the switch, but now, no Pokemon appear at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong...

 

[ReVaN777]

Hey Umbreon

Quick question: is there a way to make this script just change wild encounter and not all Pokemon encounter such as gifts and trainer stay the same. But wilds are random.

Sorry for the late reply, but it should be fixed now.

^ See above, temporarily disable the switch and then re-enable.

Sorry for the necropost, but I'm getting this error:

Well, I have problem saving the game while playing Randomized Mode

[Emotionless living thing]

I'm new to essentials and I am very confused. Can you show me an exact image/screenshot of how you input the code?

Can this work only in an specific map?

 

[Zeak6464]

Can this work only in an specific map?

yes just make a event that turns on "Switch = 36" and then make sure it's off when someone leaves the map

Yupp the exact same thing happened to me

Umbra, your code is slightly broken. It gives an error when it's off if there are no whitelisted Pokemon, because it changes the species to nil first.

class PokeBattle_Pokemon
  
  alias randomized_init initialize
  
  def initialize(species,level,player=nil,withMoves=true)
    
    if $game_switches && $game_switches[RandomizedChallenge::Switch]
      [COLOR="Red"]species = RandomizedChallenge::WhiteListedPokemon.shuffle[0][/COLOR]
      if RandomizedChallenge::WhiteListedPokemon.length == 0
        species = rand(PBSpecies.maxValue - 1) + 1
        while RandomizedChallenge::BlackListedPokemon.include?(species)
          species = rand(PBSpecies.maxValue - 1) + 1
        end
      end
    end
    
    randomized_init(species, level, player, withMoves)
  end
end

This fixes the error. I don't need credit. Please update the first post though.

Out of curiosity and desire to create a more customizable experience for players, is there any way to separate the randomization of Trainers' Pokemon and Wild Pokemon into two different switches? How complicated would it be to create something like that?
