As I can see you are really liking the plugin!
Sorry if I don't answer you here or in dm but at the moment I'm very busy due to university stuff.
Big plans for the plugin are planned though, besides adding features based on your suggestions.
Thank you all for the feedback
I should be back in some months.

Also I'm very curious to see your favourite variants: you should definitely post them here! :D

Perfectly understandable, best of lucks at university!
I'll be patiently waiting for the updates.
As for favorite colors, definitely anything purple/green, is a very nice color combo imo.

I tried this plugin but in this plugin you have to create super shiny sprites. I want them to change colour automatically like this hue option. So what I want is how to apply this feature under super shiny category.

Hello! Does this resource support the overworld encounters plugin by derFischae?

A few things I want to ask:

1. Is there a way to make it so the player can customize their own Pokémon’s color after catching it? (Say with an item or maybe having a Pokémon that knows sketch?)

2. Is there a way to make this an unlockable feature in the game? Like for the random encounters to be random colors?

3. Would the first 2 be able to work together?

1. Yes. Here are all the guides you need: Defining an item, Item effects. Basically the item should set a value for the hue attribute like this pokemon.hue = <value>, where the value is a positive number between 0 and 359 (included) (0 is the default color).

2. Yes. Setting PokemonColorVariants::HUE_POKEMON_CHANCE = 0 you will have 0 chances to find any colored pokemon in the wild. Set back a positive value when you want to unlock it (default value is: 256).

3. Sure! Just give the item to the player only when them can use it :)

Thanks for the reply! I might need help with this one. Basically I want to make an item that will work the same as changing a Pokemon's color in debug mode. Do you have a code I can plug in to make this work?

I tried adding coding for the function of the item to your plugin:

ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:PALETTE, proc { |pkmn, pkmnid, heldpoke, settingUpBattle, screen|
params = ChooseNumberParams.new
params.setRange(0, 360)
params.setDefaultValue(pkmn.hue ? pkmn.hue : 0)
hue = pbMessageChooseNumber("\\ts[]" + _INTL("Set the Pokémon's hue color [0 - 360]"), params)
hue = hue % 360
if hue != pkmn.hue
pkmn.hue = hue
screen.pbRefreshSingle(pkmnid)
end
next false
}
)

It starts to work, but as soon as I try to set the hue I get this error:

As you can see I have the item defined, but the game is giving an error of undefined method for 'hue'

HUGE update! After a lot of trial and error and I mean a lot! I finally made an item that will change the hue of the pokemon! Here is the code I added to the plugin:

ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:PALETTE, proc { |item, qty, pkmn, pkmnid, heldpoke, settingUpBattle, scene, screen|
params = ChooseNumberParams.new
params.setRange(0, 360)
params.setDefaultValue(pkmn.hue ? pkmn.hue : 0)
hue = pbMessageChooseNumber("\\ts[]" + _INTL("Set the Pokémon's hue color [0 - 360]"), params)
hue = hue % 360
if hue != pkmn.hue
pkmn.hue = hue
end
next false
}
)

Here I made an item called "PALETTE" which I defined in the items.txt. An item that allows you to change the hue of a pokemon when using the palette item from the key items bag.

[PALETTE]
Name = Palette
NamePlural = Palettes
Pocket = 8
Price = 0
FieldUse = OnPokemon
Flags = KeyItem
Description = Allows the colors of a pokemon to be altered.

Thanks for the awesome plugin MickTK!

Add the code I made to this if you like for the item.

I had a couple other ideas for this. Not sure if it would work but maybe a way to see what the color of the pokemon is going to be before selecting the number range. maybe some kind of slider that shows you the color of the sprite changing in real time? A second idea and maybe I can figure it out, but a game switch to turn on/off the randomized wild pokemon colors.

Hi, I've encountered a bug while trying to load in the Following Pokémon script. I had followed all of the instructions, but this still comes up. Is there any way I can fix this?

Hi, RyssyRys!

With the latest version I deleted that method, so here is what you need to do:
1. Open the file Following Pokemon EX > Main Module > Event_Sprite Commands.rb from the plugin folder.
2. Go to the method def self.change_sprite(pkmn).
3. Delete the row FollowingPkmn.pokemon_color_variants(pkmn) if PluginManager.installed?("Pokemon Color Variants").

Follow now the guide from this link and it should work fine. :)

That's really cool for people if they want to have pokemon colors change.

Really love this concept! Would be cool if you can have it only work on shiny/super shiny pokemon.

Just set SHINY_ONLY in settings to true.

Oh so this counts for both?

I’m pretty sure, yeah, shiny? seems like it’d return true for both.

drdoom76 · Sep 12, 2023

This script is great. All my super shinies are pretty and I made an item that changes color of pokemon too. :-D thanks. Also made a charm that increases chance to encounter hue change.

Eurritimia · Sep 14, 2023

Any chance of updating this script to v21? (It throws errors as for now)

Yep, work in progress

Hi, I encountered a problem with the plugin. When I follow the guide to adapt the plugin to "Following Pokémon EX", absolutely nothing happens. The Pokémon that follow you don't change color but I don't get any errors.
