Pokemon Battle Program

• Created using Object-Oriented Program

• Was created by myself without any help or external programming resources (only referenced material was the official Pokemon stats, move stats, diologue and calculations)

• Written in Java using VS Code

• Main Features:

  • Allows full team, 6v6 Battling.
  • Allows move types to affect battle (Super effective, Not very effective, Does not affect).
  • Switch your active Pokemon during battle (Set switching).
  • Ability to select your Pokemon, the trainer / trainer's Pokemon, your moves each turn. (All inputs validated).
  • Checks that a user has enough PP (Power Points) to use their chosen move.
  • Advances Damage Calculation.
    • Calculations use the official damage formula.
    • Move Accuracy.
    • Speed stat determines move order. In the event of a speed tie, the order is randomly decided.
    • Move priority (such as Extreme Speed, having +2 priority, allows the user to go first regardless of speed stats).
    • STAB - Same-Type Attack Bonus.
    • Critical Hits.
    • Randomly fluctuating damage.
  • Custom victory message based on which trainer you beat (or a loss message if you fail, but hopefully not ;) ).

Features in more detail

• UI uses the same text as the official games. Layout is as close as I can neatly get it inside the terminal:

• OOP used to create Pokemon, Moves and Trainers

• Generates Weakness Chart for both mono and dual-type Pokemon

  

• Type charts affect move damage, including immunities

• Allows Full 6v6 Battles

• Allow the user to switch Pokemon during battle. (Set switching - switching is instead of using a move).

  

• Checks users have nough PP to use a certain move

• Added Dynamic Battle Screen

• Validation on move selection
  • Choose your Pokemon
    • Choosing your pokemon changes the move pool
  • Choose the Trainer you want to face
  • Choose your move

• All user inputs validated

• Get a different victory message based on your opponent

• Various features shown below:
  • Code is modular to take advantage of reusable components
  • Fastest Pokemon moves first
  • Correct Hp shown when damage is dealt (will not drop below 0)
  • Custom message based on wether you won or lost

• Battle will loop until a Pokemon faints

• Uses Random to select the computer's moves and resolve speed ties (when both Pokemon have the same speed stat):

• Includes damage multipliers such as STAB and the Physical/Special Move Split:
  • STAB - Same Type Attack Bonus: Attacks deal 1.5x damage is the Pokemon and move are of the same type.
  • Phys/Spec split uses Atk & Def/ SpAtk & SpDef to calculate move damage.
  • Randomised Damage between 0.85x and 1x overall damage
  • Attacks have a chance to miss based off the attack's accuracy

• Added move priority. Metagross is slower than Garchomp, but Bullet Punch's priority allows Metagross to attack first.
