Making Items

Making Items in Pokèmon Essentials
All items are defined in the PBS file "items.txt". Each item must be defined in order to be used in the game. It must also have an effect, but here is how to define your items.

In "items.txt", define the items as follows, with each item on a separate line. All items will follow the follow the same format, with commas separating the parts of the definition.

For example, repel has the following line of text in "items.txt" (acquired from essentials)

1,REPEL,Repel,Repels,1,350,"An item that prevents weak wild pokèmon from appearing for 100 steps after its use.",2,0,0,

Note that every move that can be taught needs to be part of the PBS file "tm.txt", which lists all pokèmon capable of learning it.

Item Icons
Every item has a single icon, located in "Graphics/Icons". The item is called itemXXX.png where XXX is the internal name or the ID number (3 digits).
