Problem with [906] Pokémon

[Krahssen]

Hello! I was writing to report an error that I do not know how to solve.

When I add a new Pokemon (Fakemon) I have no problem until I use the number [906] in "pokemon.txt". From here, if I add this Fakemon to the regional Pokédex, I will get this error when I open the Pokédex:

Spoiler: Bug

I use Pokemon Essentials 17 and the Modular Menu, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with that, it's just the error when I add a species that has a number greater than 906 in PBS.

Sorry for my english

Thank you!

I'm not 100% sure but try the following things:
- start a new game. If this fixes it everything is probably fine and the problem was probably within in your save file.
- encounter the Pokémon before opening your pokedex(do an event with a battle against it). This doesn't solve anything but it does give more information because the error has something to do with

$Trainer.formlastseen[nationalSpecies]

being

nil

Apparently I have solved it thanks to the reply of "PikachuFans2018" in another post:

To anyone that's still having the Pokedex Problem, here's what you need to do:

In PScreen_PokedexMain around line 328
Replace
form = ($Trainer.formlastseen[nationalSpecies][1] || 0)

with this
if defined?($Trainer.formlastseen[nationalSpecies][1])
form = ($Trainer.formlastseen[nationalSpecies][1] || 0)
else
form = 0
end

after you do this, SAVE IMMEDIATELY. "

Thank you so much!

Did you try to start a new game nor delete the save file?

Yes, I started a new game and it kept happening.

Yeah that solves the issure ... but it doesn't investigate why the issue happens so this is actually a bad practice because it just disables a certain type of form shown in your pokedex for those that are wrongly initiated ... not saying you shouldn't do that ... just saying that that's more like brushing the problem under the carpet than solving it and it might cause some unwanted phenomenoms later down the line

I don't think it's a problem, because you shouldn't really be adding Pokémon to the Pokédex after you've started a save file you want to keep using. It could be supported, but I don't see the point because Pokémon aren't going to be added to a game after it's finished (i.e. the point when players are able to play it).
