Pokémon Battle Engine is a C# library that can emulate Pokémon battles. This repository includes the engine library, a Windows/Linux/MacOS/Android/iOS client, a server, a Discord bot, and some extra code to rip data from the official games. The engine only emulates Pokémon B2W2 versions, so nothing introduced after generation 5 is included and neither are generation 1/2 exclusive items, event Pokémon, and move compatibility.
The engine does not send information a player should not know; information only gets sent to each player/spectator when it is revealed. For example, a client has no way of knowing if the opponent has sent out a Pokémon with Illusion, the opponent's nature, stats, Hidden Power damage/type, unused item/moves, etc. Therefore, a custom/modified client cannot do anything more than an ordinary player unless it is hosting the battle. A lot of work has been done to prevent any cheating, so if there are any exploits, create an issue please!
There are also settings that you can change. Have you ever wanted to have level 200 Pokémon or 8 moves? You can do that!
Currently, you need to change the settings to be identical for the server and all connected clients for the server to accept parties/actions and for the clients to communicate without crashing. This will change in the future as the server will send the settings to all connected clients.
