Calculating in Pokémon

[asmodeus]

Does anybody know how to calculate the damage, the getting of Exp. or something like that from Pokémon?

[Kalladdolf]

?
could you plz explain?
I know, I haven't ever played pokemon, so I don't know whadya mean

[DarkParadox]

it depends on what you want.
like, you could put(levelE is enemys level, levelP is you pokemons level)

Code: Select all

exp+= levelE*2/1.5-levelP;

which would give you a good amount

Well, I don't know exactly the formula, but I remember somthing about how getting it:

Here is the page: http://www.psypokes.com/lab/expguide.php

This is a tool for calculate how much experience you will get by defeating a certain pokemon in certain level, I got lazy by trying to figure the formula by myself, so I left it to you, in that page you might get many tools to make your game.

Thanks, that helps me. 1 point.
But I also need formulas for some other things such as calculate the damage or calculate the "need" of experience for next level.
If anyone know, please post.

Calculating damage???maybe I'll put this code when my player get hit

Code: Select all

HP-=Enemy.attack/Player.defence;

For Exp..put this code when enemy killed

Code: Select all

EXP+=rand(20);

Also player>DrawActor>

Code: Select all

if(EXP>=NextEXP)
{
    MAXHP+=rand(10);
    HP+=rand(5);
    NextEXP+=(MAXHP*2)-rand(50);
    EXP=0;
}

I'd like to have the original formulas from the pokémon games,

Well, I told you that all the stuff is there, even the most secret thing on calculation, there are some links:

.-Damage Calculation: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/damage.php
.-Stats Calculation: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/stats.php
.-Learnsets: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/learnsets.php
.-Stats Guides: http://www.psypokes.com/lab/stats.php

...and many stuff like this.

The problem is that for making a pokemon game you'll need to calculate many number.
Ex: You have a charmander, it's stats are this:
.-Lvl: 5
.-Hp: 10
.-Atk: 8
.-Def: 5
.-Spd: 6
.-S. Atk: 8
.-S. Def: 6

Lvl is the level of your pokemon (min 1, max 100), the others are healt points, attack, defence, speed, special attack and special defence (all of those have a min of 1 and a max of 255)

By the way, if you are confuse about what stat will a pokemon get, here is a chart of the base stats of pokemons on level 100(this is an aproximate): http://www.psypokes.com/dp/basestats.php
And here for specific things: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/index.php

Returning to the example, depending on the pokemon that the charmander defeats, it will get some experience, the variables are: pokemon, level, if it is trained or wild and the item that charmander holds.
So, the charmander will get a diferent experience on the same pokemon if is holding a exp booster item, or if the pokemon is wild, or any other thing.

For a battle the calculations are the following:

.-The pokemon with a higher speed, attack first
.-The calculations of damage are bases on the attack minus the defence by this formula:
Pokemon attack*Percentaje of the attack(you can see this on the attack list)-The attacking pokemon defence
.-There are stats modifiers than ups, or low the attack, this is a table of those:

.-There is to an accuracy factor, you start with 100% chances of making a hit (well, it depends on the attack)
.-The accuracy can by modified, here is another table:

I know, is quite confusing, but if you get bored of all this, here is an alternate: wah.studiopokemon.com

There is how to make hack-roms of pokemon games, but there are only 3 problems:
.-Is in spanish
.-The codes are to freaking hard to understand
.-The community is quite hostile (maybe they got freak trying to figure what to do with their pokemon games)

Still, I find that all these is easier to make in GE, the only problem, are the formulas.

I hope all this helped.

I think, I have found all formulas, I need, now. I found another website to get formulas: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net
