>>57990246Thanks for the response anon, honestly this way of putting it was easier to digest than anything else I've consulted. Just have to try and learn C code I suppose and forget the Pokemon part of it. 
Speaking of which, Visual Studio keeps bugging me to install some C++ bullshit every time I open it. I doubt it's malware or anything fishy since this is a brand new laptop. Thus far I've been disregarding the notifications but would that be likely to help at all?
I have a massive spergsheet I've been maintaining for a while that's basically my plans for the game, the "original moves/abilities" tab might be taking some hits unless I can find something similar in FRLG to piggyback them on. Feels batman.
