[Essentials Tutorial] How to generate a random wild pokemon

[juliorain]

HEyo, ever wondered how to make a patch of grass generate a random wild pokemon?

Look here!

It's really simple, actually. Unfortunately you will have to define a new terrain tag and a new encounter for this to work (unless you want *all* of your grass or all of caves to generate any pokemon you have installed). If you're curious on how to work around this take a look at my old tutorial on making different types of grass here!

Anywho, open your PBEncounter_Modifiers script

Events.onWildPokemonCreate+=proc {|sender,e|
   pokemon=e[0]
   if PBTerrain.isGlitchverse?(pbGetTerrainTag($game_player))
     pokemon.species=rand(821)
      pokemon.name=PBSpecies.getName(pokemon.species)
     newlevel=pbBalancedLevel($Trainer.party) - 4 + rand(5)   # For variety
     newlevel=1 if newlevel<1
     newlevel=PBExperience::MAXLEVEL if newlevel>PBExperience::MAXLEVEL
     pokemon.level=newlevel
     pokemon.calcStats
     pokemon.resetMoves
   end
}

and past that block! You may want to edit PBTerrain.isGlitchverse? and replace it with any method defined in PBTerrain and all encounters that generate on that terrain tag will be randomized! You'll still have to define the encounters as normal in your encounters.txt but it won't matter what you write; you can write Rattata,100, Palkia 100, Reshiram,100, Mewtwo_2,100 and it won't generate, but it will whine otherwise.
