- Pokémon Essentials Version
- v19.1 ➖
Overview:
This is a barebones script that changes the 'Skills' page of the summary to include EVs and IVs alongside the Pokemon's stats. It changes the original UI only slightly to improve readability and make sure that there is room to display stats properly. Otherwise, it tries to match the original style of Essentials so that the script looks natural when used in a plug-and-play manner. This should be short, sweet, and easy to drop into your project.

Instructions
1. Download the zipped package.
2. Extract the ZIP file.
3. Move bg_3.png from the EVs and IVs in Summary folder to your project's Graphics/Pictures/Summary folder, replacing the old bg_3.png. (Alternatively, back up the old bg_3.png if you want to switch back later.)
4. Move the EVs and IVs in Summary folder to your project's Plugins folder.

Possible future changes (I may choose to implement these at a later date, but no promises)
1. Menu option to toggle EVs/IVs on and off while on the summary screen.
2. Alternative way to show IVs. Some have suggested a star rating system or a letter grade system. I personally prefer just seeing the value but a lot of people like seeing something more symbolic than a number.
3. The above, but modular so that a config line can be changed to choose IV display style.

I'd love to hear any feedback you have about this resource.
- Credits
- No credits needed. This was just a simple edit of what comes with Essentials.
That said, if you or someone else wants to try your hand at making something like this, you'll probably want to do the following:
1. Find where in the scripts the summary is defined. If I had to guess, the script would look like UI_Summary.
2. Find where the 3rd page of the summary is built. That's the skills page.
3. Take a look at where all of the text is being displayed. Feel free to compare and contrast to where my script has it displayed. I don't know how different the code for it looks between v18.1 and v19.1.
4. I believe the code to grab EVs and IVs may have changed from v18.1 to v19.1. The main part of the Pokemon scripts should define how to get a Pokemon's EVs or IVs.
5. I believe in v18.1 you want to make your changes directly to the script rather than by using a plugin. I'm not sure if plugins existed at the time.
Essentially, my script just grabs the EV and IV values for each stat, finds a place to display them, and adjusts where the old information was displayed too in order to make room.
Aside from those steps, feel free to use the summary page I made for that if you'd like.
