[TASK]: Pokemon Contests

Farboo171 commented 1 year ago

Task Description

Implement the Pokemon Contest, using the below drawings and notes: Pokemon Contest structure and formulas:

Description: Players will be able to enter the contest somewhere in Hoenn once per day.

Every day, a random style will be selected. Style points are a sum of the base stats: Cool = attack + specialDefense Beautiful = specialAttack + defense Cute = specialDefense + hitpoints Clever = specialAttack + speed Tough = hitpoints + defense

Every day, a random type will be selected. This type will be a filter, such that only pokemon of that type can be entered into the contest for that day.

Players will select three pokemon from the type filtered list, and the value of that pokemon for the given style will be calculated. For example, on a Cool style day with the Flying type filter, players could select Pidgey (Cool value of 80: 45 attack + 35 Special Defense), Lugia (Cool value of 244: 90 attack + 154 Special Defense), and Altaria (Cool value of 175: 70 attack + 105 Special Defense). This gives a total score of 499 Cool

After selecting these three mons for entry, players can boost their score with berries. The berries boots style scores as their flavor value, in the following manner:

Cool: Bitter Beautiful: Dry Cute: Sweet Clever: Sour Tough: Spicy

So in our example, a player could use one Jaboca berry on each mon, for 40 Bitter (Cool) points each, for a total of 120 additional Cool points. This brings the Grand Total for the entry to 639 Cool points for this example

After the player has selected their entry mons and berries, they will click the Enter Contest button. Their total score will be compared to a tiered reward system:

Normal Rank: 1-200 Super Rank: 201-450 Hyper Rank: 451-700 Master Rank: >700

Each tier will give out a different number of contest tokens as a reward, and presumably we will put an achievement on number of Master Rank wins.

UI:

Three tabs

Contest tab (Attached) contest_UI

Prizes tab (Attached) prizes_UI

Help tab: (TBD, will be text)

The actual to-do's and assignees:

[x] Make UI for contests (Timespazm)
[x] Make randomized Style and Type restrictions code (Timespazm)
[x] Make code for calculating contest values based on selected pokemon (Timespazm)
[x] Make code to add berrys to Style Point total (Timespazm)
[x] Make contest reward tier packages (Timespazm)
[x] Make code to award contest rewards (Timespazm)
[X] Add Help Text (Eugene171)
[x] Add the location to the map (Eugene171) Lilycove, in the City.
[x] Add funky mons (Eugene171 per #2958). Ready to merge.
[x] Add shop with new currency (Eugene171) Added to lilycove in #2958
[X] Add cosplaychus (Eugene171)
[x] Add tracked stats (Timespazm)
[ ] Add achievements
[x] Add Heart Furfrou
[x] Re-add CT to Luxury Ball
[x] Re-add contest shop
[ ] Add Base Stats somewhere in the Pokedex
[ ] Add Prize Board rewards for less-than-Master-rank scoring
[ ] Consider tier rebalance with higher berry contribution. Master threshold to 800 and upping berry contribution by x1.5 should work.
[ ] Change Pikachu prize board entries to mention mater rank explicitly
[ ] Add Berry Consumption on use
[ ] Add master ball to Contest Shop
[ ] Change UI to make Contest Token rewards more clear
[ ] (Optional, future work) Add or remove items from Contest Shop
[ ] Optional, future work) add Contest Token Hatchery Helper
[ ] (Optional, future work) Scarves

Notes

There's probably a way to add Held Item effects into this that hasn't been put into writing yet (scarves)

None

Oh no! This goes completely against my idea for contests! I wanted to add pokeblocks, hence my addition of smoothness to Berries :( If you already have a plan then feel free to do this, but I'd really love to collaborate with you on contests if you'd let me!

Farboo171 commented 1 year ago

I think that multiple ways to get Contest Tokens and multiple Contests are completely fine. If you have another way you want to implement them, putting them in a different region should be enough to justify two different approaches

osherwott commented 1 year ago

My two big desires are pokeblocks and ribbons. Do you think they could be implemented in your idea?

As per guidelines, this also has a thread on discord Any updates or decisions will be shared here as well!
