Track when enemy has Pressure #247

Closed AleshaDevitt closed 2 years ago

AleshaDevitt commented 2 years ago

The tracker automatically tracks abilities when you receive information that lets you know they have them. Currently, however, this is not the case for Pressure, even though you are able to see that your PP goes down by 2.

This is by choice. Abilities get auto-tracked when:

We discussed whether to track Pressure from pp usage when doing the ability auto-tracking and the conclusion was that we shouldn't reveal it since it's not revealed in-game (Pressure in gen 3 does not ever have a message showing that it's in effect). Similarly, we avoid tracking abilities in cases like skill swap since the game doesn't tell you what ability you got given in gen 3.

Figuring out it has Pressure from the pp drop shown in the tracker is the same as you would conclude yourself from what you see in-game, with the knowledge of what Pressure does. You can then use the notes feature to manually track that it has Pressure.
