A modular script to easily implement egg parsing and egg generation to a Pokemon (RPG Maker, Pkmn Essentials) game.

What is it?

https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/286561/what-is-an-egglocke

An "Egglocke" is a challenge variant for Pokemon games. This code makes it easier to implement by allowing you to to collect a wide number of eggs (or, more obviously, very easily randomly generate eggs), and share them with friends, and have them add them as eggs in their own game's PCs.

How do I use it?

  1. Navigate to the scripts section of RPG Maker XP and insert a new script above "Main".

  2. Copy and paste the contents from "Egglocke.rb" into that script.

  3. Create a folder named "Egglocke" in the main game directory (To be filled with egg data)

  4. In the overworld, run the command

  5. Kernel.initiateEgglocke

    to begin the parsing/loading process.

How does it work?

  • An "egg" is stored in the following way:

    • Species,Nickname,Item,Ability #,Gender,Nature,IV 1, IV 2, IV 3, IV 4, IV 5, IV 6,Move1,Move2,Move3,Move4,-1,-1,

      For example:

    • 95,"Toph",71,0,Male,Naughty,31,31,31,31,31,31,694,694,303,303,-1,-1,

    • Would be an Onix named Toph, equipped with whatever item has an id of 71, etc.

  • We can add text files filled with eggs to our Egglocke folder

    • Any text file is simply a line-separated list of eggs.
    • Each egg in the list is added to a the player's PC when that Egglocke file is selected
