Resource Random Pokémon selector 1.0.1

ThatWelshOne_ submitted a new resource:

Random Pokémon selector - Add some fun to your game with random gift Pokémon!

Another small, yet fun, script from me. This time, a means of giving the player a random Pokémon, mainly created with the starter selection event in mind, but it can work whenever the player is given a gift Pokémon. I thought it might be fun for the player to have a fourth, random option when picking their starter!

Features

• As customisable as you want to make it.
• Specify "white list" of Pokémon from which to choose.
• Specify "black list" of Pokémon to be...

This seems like a really nice plugin, but I'm running into a strange issue.

At the start of my game, there are 3 balls for random starters using the suggested random settings. It has nuzlocke rules so when your pokemon faints, i is removed from the party, and when you black out you start over. After starting over, it sets the Choosing Starter switch on. Of the 3 Pokeballs, one of them always becomes an Ivysaur. It's weird that it's always the same Pokemon, and also not a base Pokemon. Any thoughts on how this happens?

Are you using a plugin to have those nuzlocke rules? If so, there might be a compatibility issue worth looking into.

The plugin I'm using for the nuzlocke settings are EBDX.

I'll have a look.
In the meantime, could you share a screenshot of your event page(s) so I can see exactly what you're doing?

Bro, i Love your plugin, but even when i selected "suggested" still comming legendary pokemon, you have some idea about it?

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon
pbGenerateEgg(pkmn)
(whiteList=nil,
blackList="suggested",
addList=nil,
base_only=true,
use_gen=nil)


(on the print, the egg generate a Entei LOL) The same happens with the code: pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(

Can you show exactly what your event with this script command looks like, please?

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon
pbGenerateEgg(pkmn)
(whiteList=nil,
blackList="suggested",
addList=nil,
base_only=true,
use_gen=nil)

You’ve put the arguments in the wrong place. They need to be with pbChooseRandomPokemon, like in the examples. You can’t just put arguments anywhere in a script, the game reads line-by-line.

I don't know if I got it wrong, but I used the copied code identical to the example and still came legendary pokemon

 

[tyssonpark]

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(
whiteList=nil,
blackList="suggested",
addList=nil,
base_only=true,
use_gen=nil)

<< i used this, exactly how you post with example, and give me a tapu fini XD

If you're using it identical to the example, then yeah, legendaries are still going to come, because the example doesn't have a blacklist. The problem wasn't what arguments you were putting, it was where you were putting them.

 

[tyssonpark]

wait, doesn't the "suggested" make the legendary impossible?

It should, yes. When you said you "copied the code identical to the example", I had thought you meant like this example, which doesn't have a blacklist.

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(
whiteList=nil,
blackList=nil,
addList=nil,
base_only=true,
use_gen=nil)

I'll have a look at this tomorrow. It might be some weird quirk I didn't think about at the time.

TY, you are awesome

TY, you are awesome

I've run over 5000 replicates using your code and not once did a legendary Pokémon appear. Unless I'm just exceedingly unlucky, I don't understand how you are seeing legendary Pokémon.
The only thing that could cause a problem is the quotation marks around "suggested". Here's the exact code I ran:

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(
whiteList=nil,
blackList="suggested",
addList=nil,
base_only=true,
use_gen=nil)
