[Scripting Question] shiny check in pokedex(EBS)

[ArchyTheArc]

So im working on a pokedex rework for my game (just entry page rn)

but im trying to get a toggle for shiny pokemon. nothing is wrong with triggering it, just have no check if a player has seen a shiny say bulbasaur or not seen a shiny rattata etc. left below the concept and the script parts for the shiny part.

Spoiler:

In Pscreen_Pokedex in the inputs:

elsif Input.trigger?(Input::C) && (page==1 || newpage==1)
         if $game_switches[512] || !pbHasShiny?(shinypoke) || (!pbHasShiny?(shinypoke) && $game_switches[512])
            pbPlayCry(@dexlist[curindex][0])
            $game_switches[512]=false
            #@sprites["shiny"].visible=true
            @sprites["shiny"]=IconSprite.new(0,0,@viewport)
            @sprites["shiny"].setBitmap(_INTL("Graphics/Pictures/NotShiny"))
            @sprites["shiny"].x=373
            @sprites["shiny"].y=203
            pbChangeToDexEntry(@dexlist[curindex][0])
        else pbHasShiny?(shinypoke) || !$game_switches[512] || (pbHasShiny?(shinypoke) && !$game_switches[512])
            pbPlayCry(@dexlist[curindex][0])
            $game_switches[512]=true
            #@sprites["shiny"].visible=true
            @sprites["shiny"]=IconSprite.new(0,0,@viewport)
            @sprites["shiny"].setBitmap(_INTL("Graphics/Pictures/IsShiny"))
            @sprites["shiny"].x=373
            @sprites["shiny"].y=203
            pbChangeToDexEntry(@dexlist[curindex][0])
           end

then in EliteBattle_BitmapWrapper (the pokedex entry part)

if $game_switches[512] || pbHasShiny?(PBSpecies.getName(species)) || (pbHasShiny?(PBSpecies.getName(species)) && $game_switches[512])
        file=pbPokemonBitmapFile(species,true)
        pkmnbitmap=AnimatedBitmapWrapper.new(file)
        @sprites["overlay"].bitmap.blt(
           204-(pkmnbitmap.width-128)/2,
           #344-(pkmnbitmap.width-128)/2,
           100-(pkmnbitmap.height-128)/2,
           #244-(pkmnbitmap.height-128)/2,
           pkmnbitmap.bitmap,pkmnbitmap.bitmap.rect)
        pkmnbitmap.dispose
        pbPlayCry(species)
      else
        file=pbPokemonBitmapFile(species,false)
        pkmnbitmap=AnimatedBitmapWrapper.new(file)
        @sprites["overlay"].bitmap.blt(
           204-(pkmnbitmap.width-128)/2,
           #344-(pkmnbitmap.width-128)/2,
           100-(pkmnbitmap.height-128)/2,
           #244-(pkmnbitmap.height-128)/2,
           pkmnbitmap.bitmap,pkmnbitmap.bitmap.rect)
        pkmnbitmap.dispose
        pbPlayCry(species)
      end

TL;DR: need to find or have a shiny seen check made, everything else seems to work.

I guess the easiest way is to duplicate the "seen" information used by the Pokédex so that it has a second copy for shinies, and then modify the battle code so that it either marks the normal Pokémon or the shiny as seen (instead of now where it only marks the normal one).

the only thing i can find that connects things seen/owned is $trainer.owned and $trainer.seen but not sure how to find their initial points or where their defined and even then i dont have a clue how to make sure if they've seen it? even going in checks for the battle its just an odd hole which just leads to seenforms which makes no sense to me.

edit:
taken a crack at copying the .seen and .owned of $trainer for it, in theory if .seenShiny and .ownedShiny can be defined for $trainer then it'll work. just need to know/figure that out tho,

I know this is an old thread, but any luck figuring it out?
