nice! I'm guessing you already know how this all plays into the engine?

lol, actually, I am sorta winging it, with Mathstuf's help. ;)
As to the celtic thing, I call it alot. I still save memory calling that 23 byte program over Asm(prgmZCELTIC. And besides, I did not want to drastically change the name of celtic, as I told Iambian I would not. And yes, data entry is super boring, but it helps get this game closer to completion... :P
And DJ is right, theta is not a good character to use in a name. At this point, I can use any first letter for a name that is beyond the letter P, so Pokemon is the first program in the list, and makes it easier to run the game. |

Also did with it like I did Resource.. prgmZCE simply calls Asm(ZCELTIC, which makes things smaller the more it is called.

I don't think that having a program with just "asm(prgmZCELTIC" would be a good idea. if you would change celtics name to "-theta-C", you would save as much memory as you are now and the user doesn't have to have a 23 byte program on there calc.
good job on entering all that information of the pokemon, attacks ect. must be pretty dull entering it all (I can think of more fun things to do when creating a game).

Why, what does theta do if it is in the name? |

It reduces the program's size by having less letters allocated to its name. It also saves memory each time the program is called since there are less letters to use to refer to the program. The reason why this is not done is posted previously.

and any program starting with theta will appear last in the program list, so it wont bother the user that much. but I was using theta just as an example. you could also just use 'Z'.
as for keeping celtic in the program name, if you really want it then keep it that way . |

| Yeah ti connect handles theta by renaming it as thetaceltic or w/e but msd8x and tilp leave the name as it is so the computer has issues moving or renaming it. Which is where the issues occur. |

| Actually it depends of where the program came from and how it was sent to the PC (or the calc) I think. I remember files containing the Theta character sent fine with TI-Graph Link software, but when sent to TI-83+ Flash Debugger/SDK emulator they would change to ]. However, if sent with TI-Connect it worked fine. Also I remember having this problem with either PTI and WabbitEmu a few times with both linking softwares, but with PTI it was an old version and it worked fine if the files were grouped, but WabbitEmu never handled groups properly so you had to send them ungrouped. I am unsure though but I recall some linking softwares saving Theta character as À or _ and when it was saved as _ it usually got renamed as [ on anything that isn't VTI |

Yeah, something along those lines, I remember it always renaming it to the A character, which was annoying, to say the least.
As to the progress of pokemon, I am slowly adding in the attack data. I am also kind of giving my aod86 game a little bit of attention, to see if I cannot get that finished and posted. |

Well, playing pokémon will require me at least 20 sets of batteries for sure, if i use my old 83+SE, because they won't last more than 2 days in it. Else I guess I could always remove them everytime I turn my calc OFF since I have a new lithium battery
Else I guess i will just try it in emulator if the emulator can accept that many files |

Well, AOD86 is in beta now (can be found on my forums) and I have started in on pokemon yet again. At this point, I have 114 of 165 of the attack lists completed. After that, not sure where to head off to, but I am sure I will figure it out. :P
@DJ: I was using wabbitemu for screenshotting, so it at the very least has no problems loading the files. |

| I have completed the attack lists, have created the type charts, and am now working on getting the random encounter system working. Hopefully will have some major progress made on that over the weekend. |

I finally got the start of it going now. The random encounter system has been started. At this moment, the data to cause random encounters is simply stored when it looks for which map program to run. That will of course change once I get a working battle engine, etc. Anyways, a screenshot for your enjoyment:
Stat Generation will be next. |

| Looks good, except for the fact that you can still encounter Pokemon even if you're not on grass. |

It only looks like that for now. It checks to see when you moved if you are on a * to see if it needs to check for encounters.
Edit:
This should address the problem a little better, yes?
I am thinking about setting up a pic that is all black to use with this. Then it would be a matter of Rclpic Pic :Disp in a For( loop for a short bit. :)
Edit2:
So, here is that effect, let me know if you like it, hate it, want it to stay, leave, etc..
