- Pokémon Essentials Version
- v20.1 ➖
You can download this as a plugin for v20 here, but honestly, it overwrites too much of the summary script to be worth it IMO, especially if you're doing something custom. It's pretty simply to add directly to the base scripts.
In the script section Pokémon (PokeBattle_Pokemon prior to v19), find the section at the top that lists the characteristics of individual Pokémon.
In v20, the end of it looks like this:
Ruby:
# Whether this Pokémon can be deposited in storage/Day Care
attr_accessor :cannot_store
# Whether this Pokémon can be released
attr_accessor :cannot_release
# Whether this Pokémon can be traded
attr_accessor :cannot_tradeIn v19, the end of it looks like this:
In earlier versions, it looks like this:
Ruby:
# Another Pokémon which has been fused with this Pokémon (or nil if there is none).
# Currently only used by Kyurem, to record a fused Reshiram or Zekrom.
# @return [Pokemon, nil] the Pokémon fused into this one (nil if there is none)
attr_accessor :fused
# @return [Integer] this Pokémon's personal ID
attr_accessor :personalIDIn earlier versions, it looks like this:
Ruby:
attr_writer :obtainLevel # Level obtained
attr_accessor :hatchedMap # Map where an egg was hatched
attr_writer :language # Language
attr_accessor :ot # Original Trainer's name
attr_writer :otgender # Original Trainer's gender:
# 0 - male, 1 - female, 2 - mixed, 3 - unknown
# For information only, not used to verify
# ownership of the Pokémon
attr_writer :cool,:beauty,:cute,:smart,:tough,:sheen # Contest statsBelow that (or really, anywhere in the section), add
Ruby:
attr_accessor :memory # MemoryAt the bottom of Pokémon/PokeBattle_Pokemon, find the section that begins with "def initialize".
You're going to add in this line:
Ruby:
@memory = _INTL("Press [ALT] to write more.")Just for the sake of making sure you don't cross any ends, I recommend you put it in one of the cleaner parts of the section, somewhere like
Ruby:
@item = nil
@memory = _INTL("Press [ALT] to write more.")In UI_Summary (PScreen_Summary in earlier versions), find
Ruby:
memo += sprintf("<c3=404040,B0B0B0>%s\n", characteristics[best_stat][best_iv % 5])
end
Ruby:
memo += sprintf("<c3=404040,B0B0B0>%s\n",characteristic)
endBelow that "end", add
Ruby:
memo += @pokemon.memory if @pokemon.memoryFinally, go to the bottom of PScreen_Summary and the section beginning with def pbScene.
Right above this line:
Ruby:
elsif Input.trigger?(Input::USE)
Ruby:
elsif Input.trigger?(Input::ALT) && !@pokemon.egg? && @page==2
@pokemon.memory=Kernel.pbMessageFreeText("#{@pokemon.name}'s memory?",_INTL(""),false,80)
dorefresh = trueAnd that's it!
Using this resource
This can be added into an already-released game! The only issue is that "Press [ALT] to write more" won't display on Pokémon on an existing save, it'll just be blank.You can customize the button used to change it pretty easily, just change "ALT" in the Input::ALT to whatever else you want! (Assuming it's been defined, of course- see Marin's tutorial for adding input keys if you want to do more!)
Since .memory is an attribute of all Pokémon now, you can manipulate it the same way you would edit something like nicknames, IVs, etc! You could generate Pokémon to give to the player that have a memory already written on them, or, if you have a story-driven game, generate a party with memories of the hero's past adventures!
Future Goals
- Potentially see if I could make this plug-and-play. Not a high priority, though, since it's adding like six lines of text to two script sections.
- Figure out how to make a filter for memories. I'm not bothered by players writing the fuck word in, but it would suck to get Wonder Traded a Pokémon and have the description include some slur.
