- Pokémon Essentials Version
- v20.1 ➖
Just what it says on the tin - shows the silhouette of unseen Pokémon instead of displaying that ? sprite.
I personally think this option is more fun, because it lets players look at the shapes and wonder what could be behind them, and encourages them to seek out what looks cool. And if you're using canon mons in a game with a limited dex, this could let players know what they can and can't use in your game.
Code
This isn't a plugin, because it's just changing a few lines in the scripts.
All changes are in UI_Pokedex_Main.
Step 1 - Delete this line:
Ruby:
iconspecies = nil if !$player.seen?(iconspecies)Step 2 - On this line:
Ruby:
textpos.push([GameData::Species.get(iconspecies).name, 112, 58, 2, base, shadow]) if iconspeciesiconspecies to $player.seen?(iconspecies), like so
Ruby:
textpos.push([GameData::Species.get(iconspecies).name, 112, 58, 2, base, shadow]) if $player.seen?(iconspecies)Step 3 -
After this line in
def setIconBitmap(species):
Ruby:
@sprites["icon"].setSpeciesBitmap(species, gender, form, shiny)
Ruby:
if !$player.seen?(@sprites["pokedex"].species)
@sprites["icon"].tone = Tone.new(-255,-255,-255,255)
else
@sprites["icon"].tone = Tone.new(0,0,0,0)
endIf you're using Essentials Deluxe, you'll actually have to make this change in Essentials Deluxe/Essentials Patches/Pokedex.rb, under this line -
Ruby:
@sprites["icon"].setSpeciesBitmap(*poke_data)Step 4 (Optional) -
Typically, the PokeDex only goes up to the highest number the player has seen. To go up to the last dex number, delete this section:
Ruby:
loop do
break if i < 0 || !dexlist[i] || $player.seen?(dexlist[i][0])
dexlist[i] = nil
i -= 1
