Hi, can you explain a little more about what you mean?
Like, did you want to have it so only a player with a certain name is given a pokemon, or is the player going to receive a pokemon, but the pokemon is different depending on the player's name somehow?

in the Pokemon lab im adding another pokeball that contains a Pokemon based on the players name. (if the players name is "Keith" then they can choose a Machop instead of the other starters Pokemon)

Okay, well here's something I did in Birdcall that might help:

The script $Trainer.name=="Relic" is checking if the player named themself that specific name. You can use this technique if you know the specific names you want to watch out for, like your friend's names, or swear words or whatever, but I think it does have to be case sensitive.

Noice!
Thanks!
