Pokémon Essentials is a Pokémon game project made in RPG Maker MV. Based on the Pokémon Essentials project for RPG Maker XP and Pokémon Showdown.

This isn't that Pokémon essentials, this a different project, with the same goal to make a tool to create Pokémon fan games, but a totally different project, still WIP tho

Getting Started

This project don't use the RPG Maker MV editor, a custom editor is under construction. But right now, to lauch and test the game you will need download and install some software.

Follow the following steps to setup a development environment (A ready to use package will added later).

1. Donwload and install Node Js

2. Use npm to donwload install NW JS, open a command window and run the following command

   npm install -g nw --nwjs_build_type=sdk
   

3. Use npm to donwload and install gulp

   npm i -g gulp-cli
   

4. Download code editor whit Typescript support. I recommend VS Code. Atom or Sublime text they are also great options but you will need download aditional plugin to wokrs with Typescript.

Installing

Once you have setup the development environment follow the following steps to install the project on your machine:

1. Copy the repository to your machine using git clone or just download and unzip wherever you want.

   git clone https://github.com/pokemon-essentials/pokemon-essentials
   

2. Donwload aditional assets

   Some graphics like the Pokémon Battlers sprites and icons are not include in this repository. You can download the missing assets from here and just uncompress each one on the root folder.

3. Install Dev dependencies

   cd your-path-to-pokemon-essentials
   npm i

There are some gulp task defined to build the project. All the .ts files in the ts directory will be traspiled into ES2015 javascript files in the dist folder and all the generated .js files will be injected into the project/index.html to run the game.

use gulp dev-build to build generate the .js files.

use gulp watch to build generate the .js files and watch for changes to rebuild.
