- Pokémon Essentials Version
- v20.1 ➖
Simple little add-on that lets players choose between Singles, Doubles, or Triples in the Options menu!
Plugin is made for v20/v21, code for v18/v19 is included in this post
Code
Can be pasted in a new script section above Main, or can be downloaded as a plugin here.
Ruby:
class PokemonSystem
attr_accessor :battlesize
alias oldinitialize initialize
def initialize
oldinitialize
@battlesize = 0 # Battle size (0 = single, 1 = double 2 = triple)
end
end
MenuHandlers.add(:options_menu, :text_input_style, {
"name" => _INTL("Battle Size"),
"order" => 55,
"type" => EnumOption,
"parameters" => [_INTL("Single"), _INTL("Double"), _INTL("Triple")],
"description" => _INTL("Choose the size battles are fought in."),
"get_proc" => proc { next $PokemonSystem.battlesize },
"set_proc" => proc { |value, _scene| $PokemonSystem.battlesize = value }
})
EventHandlers.add(:on_trainer_load, :battle_size_option,
proc { |trainer|
if !$game_temp.battle_rules["size"] && trainer
case $PokemonSystem.battlesize
when 1
setBattleRule("double") if pbCanDoubleBattle?
when 2
setBattleRule("triple") if pbCanTripleBattle?
setBattleRule("double") if !pbCanTripleBattle? && pbCanDoubleBattle?
end
end
}
)For v18/v19, I had written out instructions to add it directly to the Options script.
A few steps to putting in this one, but nothing especially complicated!
In UI_Options (PScreen_Options in earlier versions), right at the top-

If you want to take Triple off the table, just remove ",_INTL("Triple")"
This last part can technically be put in any section, but I think it's best to put in PField_EncounterModifiers, with similar scripts-

This last part can technically be put in any section, but I think it's best to put in PField_EncounterModifiers, with similar scripts-
Ruby:
Events.onTrainerPartyLoad += proc { |_sender, e|
if $PokemonTemp.battleRules["size"] == nil && e[0]
case $PokemonSystem.battlesize
when 1
setBattleRule("double") if pbCanDoubleBattle?
when 2
setBattleRule("triple") if pbCanTripleBattle?
setBattleRule("double") if !pbCanTripleBattle? && pbCanDoubleBattle?
end
end
}Using the code
You can overwrite the player's choice of battle size with the standard setBattleRule command!If either the player or the opponent doesn't have enough Pokémon for a full side, then the battle will go down a size. For example, if the player has Triple battles turned on, but they only have two Pokémon that can fight, they'll fight opponents in a Double Battle.
Todo List
Potentially, adjust this so that the option for doubles and triples doesn't even appear if the player doesn't have enough Pokémon. It was awkward when I tried to set that up, though, and it's not really necessary.- Credits
