Rejected Add Fortemons to Custom Games as a Mod/Clause

[LedianBestie]

With additions like Flipped Mod, Revelationmons Mod, and even Broken Record Mod, Fortemons is one of the most interesting concepts out there, with the whole niche focusing on making a move your item slot! Now im a custom game lover, love making my own custom games, and find it a shame its not a mod, especially since it would make things easier for me or others to make Custom games without the restrictions or ban list that the current Fortemons has! (such as no status moves, Certain moves being restricted etc)

There are two ways one can potentially apply this: Make a restricted and restricted version, one disallowing status moves and one allowing status moves, or just make one that allows them as a whole- but you can simply ban them via some special part of the ruleset (similar to how you ban moves, Pokemon etc in general)

But yeah TLDR: Adding Fortemons as a Mod would be pretty rad and would make it easier to use it in Custom games, without having to write some insane amount of rules, aswell as making it so you can make your own custom game instead of having to ask for a specialised format in format suggestions!

Edit 1: Currently from what i have tested- Fortemons for Custom games is particularly impossible, with the custom games code not understanding the custom items you do for fortemons and replacing them as mail, even if you make the format into fortemons itself! This makes things glitchy is all

Another thing to do is to possibly just add more support for custom battles in general- for example why are triples and doubles not just..mods you can put on? Even free for alls/ multis

But yeah i checked and rn fortemons just- does not work for Custom games, at all

You can already use Fortemons (along other OMs) as a custom rule for formats, but I still think there's merit to this post.

When adding these mods, the whole ruleset, including bans and restricteds, are inherited when adding them.

I think this should be removed, and adding tiers as rules to other tiers should only include the core mechanic of those tiers, instead of the added rules from the base tier instead.

Yes! Exactly! I dunno why it adds the whole ban list - including restrictions into the mods when it just makes custom games codes take big amount of time to make (given you then need to unban and unrestrict everything from EACH mod) plus a fortemons that allows you to use any move as an item sounds dope and fun! You spoke my mind thanks lmao

the main issue is that this is considerably difficult to code and theres only so much free time coders have. very few oms are coded as mods as a result.

in future ask in the om mashups room for code help and me or someone else there will help - we even have a bot that makes this irritating task menial

otherwise just dm me on discord

Alrighty! Thank you!

As someone who is in the OM development sphere, OMs that are able to be mods are usually coded to be a mod. Fortemons requires some extra scripts that make it not possible to create a fortemons mod, so this is highly unlikely to be doable unfortunately.

Hmmmm, is there chances for easier to code oms to become mods? Like multi ability or tera type override etc?
