kronicrespawn submitted a new resource:

Minds Of Their Own - bond with your pokemon or face the consequences

Minds Of Their Own (M.O.T.O)

Want to add a bit of randomness to your game? Want your pokemon to be a little less-robotic and more like the anime and manga?

Personally, I have always found the bonding aspect in Pokemon games to be a bit lacking. Sure, a pokemon’s high happiness can give you affection bonuses (if you enable it in the settings), but what about the negatives of not bonding? In the anime/manga, pokemon will kind of do whatever they want if they do not...

It's a nice idea, I would love to see where this project goes

Hi! I love all the work and effort you've put into this resource. (Thank you!) I wanted to ask how MOTO handles special evolution methods like trade (particularly held-item trade evolutions), evolution stone, and special evolutions involving items (like Gimmighoul or Applin)? Would the items be consumed upon refusal? Or are these, at present, unchanged?

For suggestions: I would love to see a way to implement a "forceful" evolution (typically those that evolve by levelling up), but at the cost of setting the Friendship value back by, say, 100 points, or perhaps even back to 0/255? I see it being utilized through a single-use item retrieved from a villain organization or made available on the team menu for Pokémon that have fainted an [x] number of times. I find that it can offer an interesting playthrough narrative that comes with a lasting effect that requires actual work to mitigate, much like Ash's journey with his "pre-maturely" evolved Charizard.

A chance for a premature evolution of well-cared-for Pokémon (also those that evolve by levelling up) would be nice, too. Knowing it could replicate anime moments in-game, especially if it works with scripts that allow mid-battle evolutions, is an exciting thought, to say the least.

Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for the next update(s). Cheers.
