[Custom Feature Question] Treating Player character as a "pokemon" during battles? (v20.1)

[swordfightingghost]

I'm working on a fangame with survival elements, and have a feature I have interest in adding but don't have the faintest idea where I would even start with it, the general idea is to make the player character mechanically function as seventh pokemon in battles, with them fainting as the condition for whiting out.

in a similar vein, any way to add a pokemon without including it in the pokedex at all?

any tips, tricks, or comments would be appreciated.

I guess you want the player to fight wild Pokemon by himself after all his Pokemon faint. First, you need to change the end battle function that checks if there are any available Pokemon, and if not- it activates the game-over scene. Next, you need to add health to the player, so you'll know when he faints. Lastly, and the hardest part is to change the battle code to make the player "go out" after all Pokemon fainted, adding animations and more.

About adding a Pokemon without adding him to the Pokedex- The regional Pokedexes don't include all species, so you just don't add this Pokemon. The national Pokedex has all species, so you should change the code so that Pokemon won't be included there (if you are going to use the national Pokedex).
