    Hiya,
    As the title suggests I'm looking for a way to change the classification of entries in the Dex in essentials.
    So instead of it showing "Bat Pokemon" it would show "Bat Fakemon" or something along those lines, is this possible? and what would i need to edit or change to do this?

    Thanks,

    Not going to help you but...why would you change it? If you are making a game entirely of fakemon or not I don't think you need to change this even if you can. Unless there is some deep reason behind it.
     
    The code you're looking for is found on line 696 of PScreen_Pokedex. You probably want to also mess with line 720, for Pokemon seen but not yet registered.
     
    You're in luck; I had to do this for my game a long, long time ago. I have the code for how to do it right here.
    Code:
          if species<494 # Used to differentiate between Pokemon and Touhoumon
          textpos.push([_ISPRINTF("{1:s} Pokémon",kind),244,74,0,basecolor,shadowcolor])
          else
          textpos.push([_ISPRINTF("{1:s} Puppet",kind),244,74,0,basecolor,shadowcolor])
          end
    Replace the number in "if species<494" with whatever the first number of your fakemon dex entry is, then rename "Puppet" to whatever you want. You'll have to do this a few more times, mostly to account for whether you've seen them or not.
