U-turn and Volt Switch are unusual in an aspect that they are dual purpose moves. Sometimes they are used as damaging moves (main attacking move even, like with Mega Beedrill or Genesect). In other cases, they are used to preserve momentum, and the damage from them doesn't exactly matter (see Cobalion, Xatu, Mega Pidgeot or Hydreigon). This change allows giving a negative attacking nature to an user of U-turn or Volt Switch if it appears to be used in a momentum-sort of way, as opposed to an usage as a damaging move.
Pokémon Showdown Client
Navigation: Website | Server repository | Client repository
Introduction
This is a repository for most of the client code for Pokémon Showdown.
This is what runs play.pokemonshowdown.com.
WARNING: You probably want the Pokémon Showdown server, if you're setting up a server.
Testing
You can make and test client changes simply by opening testclient.html.
This will allow you to test changes to the client without setting up your
own login server.
You can connect to an arbitrary server by navigating to
testclient.html?~~host:port. For example, to connect to a server running
locally on port 8000, you can navigate to testclient.html?~~localhost:8000.
The following things will fail in testclient.html:
- Registering
- Changing name to a registered name other than the one you are currently logged in with (however, changing to an unregistered name will work, and you can even change back to your original registered name afterward)
Everything else can be tested, though.
Warning
This repository is not "batteries included". It does NOT include everything necessary to run a full Pokémon Showdown client.
In particular, it doesn't include a login/authentication server, nor does it
include the database abstraction library used by the ladder library (although
it's similar enough to mysqli that you can use that with minimal changes).
It also doesn't include several resource files (namely, the /audio/ and
/sprites/ directories) for size reasons.
In other words, this repository is incomplete and NOT intended for people who wish to serve their own Pokémon Showdown client (you can, but it'll require you to rewrite some things). Rather, it's intended for people who wish to contribute and submit pull requests to Pokémon Showdown's client.
License
Pokémon Showdown's client is distributed under the terms of the AGPLv3.
WARNING: This is NOT the same license as Pokémon Showdown's server.
