How To Code In Essential's Format!

Everything with a DARK name color on the doc has been 100% complete!

So, I take it that you guys can manage coding up the mons yourself! and it's super simple. Just a bit more tedious!

POST THE CODE IN THIS THREAD SO I CAN EASILY COPY/PASTE THEM!

If the Pokemon is a pre-evo, leave the stat fields blank!

Here's a copyable template which you can use to fill in:


Name=
InternalName=
Type1=
Type2=
BaseStats=
GenderRate=
GrowthRate=
BaseEXP=
EffortPoints=
Rareness=
Happiness=70
Abilities=
HiddenAbility=
Moves=
Compatibility=
StepsToHatch=5355
Height=
Weight=
Color=
Habitat=
Kind=
Pokedex=
BattlerPlayerY=0
BattlerEnemyY=0
BattlerAltitude=0
Evolutions=


Copy and paste that into notepad, and have this window and notepad open at the same time. Let me explain how this works!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name= This is what the Pokemon is named. Uppercase the first letter!

InternalName= This is the Pokemon's name, but you need to uppercase all the letters!

Type1= The Pokemon's primary type. It needs to be all uppercase too!

Type2= The Pokemon's secondary type. If it doesn't have one, remove this line!

BaseStats= The Pokemon's stats. Label them in this order, and seperate with commas: HP,Atk,Def,SPEED,Spa,Spd

GenderRate= The Pokemon's gender. Use one of the following:

AlwaysMale
FemaleOneEighth
Female25Percent
Female50Percent
Female75Percent
FemaleSevenEighths
AlwaysFemale
Genderless

GrowthRate= How fast this Pokemon levels up. Use one of the following:

Fast
Medium or MediumFast
Slow
Parabolic or MediumSlow
Erratic - These Pokemon level up slow at the beginning, but faster later on. These are mostly Bug and Water types.
Fluctuating - These Pokemon level up FASTER at the beginning, but slow later on. ONLY 14 POKEMON HAVE THIS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

BaseEXP= How much exp is gained when defeated. This number is a number between 0 and 65535.

As an example, Zigzagoon has 48, and Blissey has 608. Look at other Pokemon to get a good example of what to use!

EffortPoints= Written in the same format as BaseStats.

Rareness= How easy it is to catch. This number is between 0 and 255. the higher the number, the easier to catch!

As a frame of reference, 255 is about a 33% catch rate. 3 is about 0.4%.

Happiness=70 The default happiness. Leave it at 70!

Abilities= One or two abilities can be named here. Uppercase all of the letters, and separate them with a comma!

HiddenAbility= Same format as above, but only one ability can be here.

Moves= A level, a comma, and an all uppercased move name, followed by another comma. An example is:

1,TACKLE,1,GROWL,3,HEADBUTT,50,GIGAIMPACT

Don't use hyphens or spaces! You guys don't need to do this part. I can easily add moves in with notepad++

Compatibility= Use the pirate pad with the egg groups!

StepsToHatch=5355 How long it takes to hatch, steps-wise. 5355 is the default number.

Height= This is in Meters. just /dt a pokemon with the same general height and adjust it!

Weight= This is in Kilograms. same as above!

Color= The Pokemon's color. Use the following:

Black
Blue
Brown
Gray
Green
Pink
Purple
Red - This is usually used in place of dark orange
White
Yellow

Habitat= Where the Pokemon lives. Use one of the following:

Cave
Forest
Grassland
Mountain
Rare - This is for legendaries
RoughTerrain
Sea
Urban
WatersEdge - This is actually rivers and lakes

Kind= The species name of the pokemon. Use the one on the doc, or suggest a new one!

Pokedex= The pokedex entry. Let's leave this blank for now and we'll add it in later!

Ignore these 3:
BattlerPlayerY=0
BattlerEnemyY=0
BattlerAltitude=0

Evolutions= How the Pokemon evolves. This is written in 3 parts:

POKEMON,Level,NUMBER

For example, zigzagoon would be:

ZIGZAGOON,Level,20

If it evolves differently, leave this blank.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and that's it! After coding one or two, you'll get the hang of it without the references!
