pokemon.update() used to be called after pretty much everything, but
now that we've refactored pretty much everything out of it, it's no
longer necessary for most of the situations we call it for.
It currently only updates pokemon.speed, so I've renamed it updateSpeed
for clarity.
We now only update pokemon.speed on switch-in, right before the
residual event, and at the beginning of every turn. This gives
something like a 30% speed-up.
JSHint's ES6 support is shaky, and its development has stalled as of late.
Since ESLint can do by itself both JSHint and JSCS' jobs, this commit replaces them.
Gulp and its related dependencies are also hereby removed.
The full description is in the comments of the Endless Battle
Clause entry in rulesets.js.
This update fixes a lot of the issues with yesterday's version.
Also included: A minor refactor of deductPP, which did not need
a success variable.
The new Endless Battle Clause attempts to ban endless battles by
detecting situations in which a battle could become endless.
This approach bans endless battles without banning Leppacycling.
The exact formulation is:
A Pokémon is considered cornered if:
- it has no available moves other than Struggle
- OR a stale Pokémon used Assist Whirlwind on it
- OR it has been hit by a Struggle from a stale Pokémon on the turn
it switched in
(at the beginning of a turn, if you have available moves other than
Struggle, you are no longer cornered)
A Pokémon is considered stale if:
- it has gained a Leppa berry through any means besides starting
with one (including but not limited to Harvest, Recycle, Pickup,
Symbiosis, Bestow, Thief, Switcheroo, and Magician)
- OR it has been targeted with Fling Leppa Berry
- OR it is cornered and begins a turn with more HP than it the last
turn it began
- OR it is cornered and begins a turn with as much HP as the last
turn it began, and was not fully paralyzed, loafing around from
Truant, or immobilized from Attract
- OR it uses Transform/Imposter against a stale Pokémon
(a Pokémon that becomes stale stays stale for the rest of the match)
If all active Pokémon are stale, the player whose team originally
started with a Leppa Berry loses. If both or neither team started
with a Leppa Berry, the team that had the first stale Pokémon wins.
As gen 1, Stadium has its own stat modifying mechanics.
It's basically an extension of gen 1's, only it changes the approach and runs a recalculation on all changes only for the proper Pokémon.
Unlike battle-engine.js, old gens did not check if move.ignoreImmunity was
undefined/false in their getDamage functions, causing crashes when numbers
were passed in to the function.
While move.affectedByImmunities was always a Boolean value to denote if
the move was affected by immunities, move.ignoreImmunity can be a Boolean
value if it ignores or is affected by all type immunities, but also can
act as an object such that !!move.ignoreImmunity[type] means it ignores
immunities of that type.
This commit implements at its full the Stadium format.
Stadium is a half-generation between Gen 1 and Gen 2, widely regarded as a Gen 1 game without the major gen 1 bugs.
The main changes of this game are:
Sleep lasts between 1 and 3 turns.
Hyper Beam does recharge after a faint.
Critical hits happen way less.
Substitute now blocks all status ailments and draining.
It allows tradebacks.
Partial trapping moves miss and stop their duration upon target switch.
Focus Energy actually works.
Stat calculations are done properly, burn and para drop are lost if you lose status.
