Map-specific Pokéforms independent of several other forms

Hey, so I’m adding different color variants of each Pokémon to my game, and most of them are simply going to be randomly mixed together within their indigenous routes and such. But some of them - only a handful - have a different type as well (like Alolan forms) and will need to appear in a separate location, i.e. forms 0-3 of Litwick appearing on most routes specified in the pbs, while form 4 will strictly appear in map 28, 29, etc. Or having Alolan Rattata appear in place of its regular form on the same map when it’s night-time. I’ve done a lot of googling and played with the script (which I’m still not an expert at) a fair amount, but am beginning to wonder if this function is beyond the game’s capabilities. Or am I missing something? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Edit: I do hope this question is in the right place. Apologies if it isn’t and please let me know.

Your thread is in the right place, so don't worry.

Based off of my understanding of what you are attempting, you should define the forms as normally in the pokemonforms pbs, and then take a glance at the Pokemon_Forms script in the RPGMXP Editor. I would look at some of the species like Shellos/Gastrodon, or maybe even Deerling if your forms are seasonal based. Shellos and Gastrodon's forms are determined by the map ID that you define in their section.

From my knowledge, mostly anything is possible with the scripts and programs. It all depends on your knowledge of Ruby. If you need anything else, my DMs are open!
