Pokemon/Brawl Mash-up Help

I want to create a game with a similar overhead view as Pokemon Fire Red but platform battles like those in Super Smash Bros. I've tried creating tall grass with a custom list of Pokemon that could be encountered and then a Pokemon from that list is randomly chosen and goes to the brawl layout. Also this only happens after a certain amount of steps, I've tried to set it up so the more steps the more likely you will encounter a Pokemon.

So how do I get my players chance of encountering a pokemon to increase the more steps he takes, and how do I make a random pokemon encounter selected from a list?

Hmm I have some ideas of how to get this to work. You could use a 2d array to store the lists of pokemon and then make invisible sprites pick a row from the array (based on an instanced variable) and then randomly pick a pokemon from that list.

That's just a rough idea of how I'd do some it.

Bleh, actually I'll just try to make an example for you :)

That's an easy one

Global encounterChance = 0
Global maxChance = 10
tallGrassColl | On collision with Player Col
   System | encounterChance < maxChance  -> add 1 to encounterChance
   System | random(maxChance) < encounterChance -> Go to Brawl

That's an easy one

Global encounterChance = 0
Global maxChance = 10
tallGrassColl | On collision with Player Col
   System | encounterChance < maxChance  -> add 1 to encounterChance
   System | random(maxChance) < encounterChance -> Go to Brawl

I think it makes more sense to start from 0 to go to maxChance...

so basically you will have encouterChance/maxChance ... Chance of encounter :D

Thanks it worked!

But there is still the problem of having a select amount of Pokemon for each grass and randomly choosing from it.

Many ways come to mind

Oh wait... No I can only see one way

1/ you put all your anim in the same sprite. You name your anim like that:

PokemonName_RStanding
PokemonName_LStanding
PokemonName_RRunning
PokemonName_LRunning

pikachu
psychokwak
dracofeu
smogogo
...

start of layout 
         -> set PokemonList to (and you copy/paste your list)
         -> set PokemonName to tokenat(PokemonList,int(random(tokencount(PokemonList,newline))),newline)

set animation to PokemonName&"_RStanding"

Will not let me "Download Original" just gives me this error -->
