You Dwarvemon people need to make pokemon a single creature and define all the pokemon in castes.

Why do they need to be all one caste? Not only would that single Pokemon entry be INCREDIBLY cluttered and hard to read, but there's always the off chance you slip up on caste selection and end up giving someone something they shouldn't have. Oh, and the embark screen would list Pokemon *gender*.

Not to mention, it would be FAR simpler to have them separate. I see no reason for them all to be the same 'pokemon' creature. That's like saying we should make dwarf a different caste of elf because they're humanoid.

[RavingManiac]

I think it might be so that different pokemon species can interbreed.

[HonkyPunch]

I want slowkips.

A... what? They're not one caste. That's retarded. It's not even possible. Also, of course it shows pokemon gender. Every game shows pokemon gender. Not to mention that if you don't want pokemon gender you can just... not... define it?

Err, meant to say creature, whatever.
And what I meant by that was, is the embark screen will look like:
Pokemon *male*
Pokemon *female*
Pokemon *male*
Pokemon *female*
etc.

[Squeegy]

No it won't. It will look like:

Blastoise *male*
Blastoise *female*
Charizard *male*
Charizard *female*
Pikachu *male
Pikachu *female*

I don't think you know how castes work.

Hello, turgidtoupee would like you to know that he's got more pokemon, but that his internet is temporarily dead so there's not much he can do about it (yet). Ta.

[Dasleah]

You can set the names of castes easily with [CASTE_NAME:singular:plural:adjective].

Biomes, however, are not caste-level. And any male and females in that entire species entry can reproduce with any other to create any other. So your Male Pikachu and Female Charmeleon can reproduce and give birth to a Wailord because it's all in the same creature entry. You can offset the rarity of various species with POP_RATIO:X but that still doesn't mitigate it (hell, use that for shiny pokemon)

It's better to just throw them all in their own creature raws.

[RavingManiac]

How about having a different creature type for each egg group?

[ungulateman]

That would still give you things like Tyranitar breeding with a Dragonite and getting something like a Salamence out of it (for example).

Anyway, I wanna help, but with no computer of my own to use and no hope of getting one back soon, I'll have to wait.

[CrossBolt]

I was thinking of a pokemon mod, go you!

Making charmander immune to heat? its [FIREIMMUNE] or [FIRE_IMMUNE] one of those.
this is going to be awesome

[InsanityPrelude]

What tag do fire imps use to shoot fireballs? Those definitely set things on fire (as one of my early forts could attest to if everyone in it weren't dead.)

[Squeegy]

They don't anymore. Volcanoes also only do falling damage.

[GregHayes]

They do have [FIREBREATH], but my experiments have shown that to be useful for flashy pyrotechnics and nothing else.

UPDATE! I have returned from the depths of no internet, bearing 50 pokemon. Things are generally working better all round. Do check out the new download.
