I don't fully know how to predict it but I've figured out through doing a bunch of name changes that every part of a name changes it; if you go from Bughouse to Bughouse! it'll be different, or bughouse, or BUGHOUSE, or BuGhOuSe, or whatever else. I'm gonna try and dig up what exactly causes it though, this thread has me curious

mine is Sceptile by the way

what did you find Lily? aurora needs to know!

what did you find Lily? aurora needs to know!

The code for default avatars! Thank you to chaos :)

let AVATARS: string[] = [];

if (process.env.SMOGON_FORUM_AVATAR_DIR) {
    // lib/Avatar::getAvatar
    let dir = process.env.SMOGON_FORUM_AVATAR_DIR;
    if (dir !== 'fake') {
        AVATARS = await fs.readdir(dir);
        // PHP scandir does this
        AVATARS.sort();
        // Recreate bug from forum...
        AVATARS.unshift("..");
        AVATARS.unshift(".");
    }
} else {
    throw new Error(`avatar dir not setup`)
}

function getAvatar(username: string) {
    let crc32 = new CRC32;

    let i = crc32.calculate(username) % AVATARS.length;
    let avatar = AVATARS[i]!;
    return `/forums/media/avatars/${avatar}.m.1`;
}

hey, male frillish is adorable. just be glad u dont have fucking ducklett that mon is so mid

 

[Bughouse]

so basically aurora encodes to some number in decimal via CRC32, and then take that number mod the number of possible options for default avatars there are, and you get your default avatar. but i have no idea from that code how many avatar options there are or what order they're sorted in, so can't help you figure out what sort of name change would get you a default female frillish avatar or indeed any other avatar but I can pretty safely confirm that if you changed to Aurora it at least wouldn't be a male frillish anymore (most likely).

Omg that's me :D

 

[ryan]

didn't you have some other name before? perhaps if you reloaded an older name, that one would have a more feminine avatar

 

[Drifting]

i'm a boy combee get literally owned

 

[BlueWollyWog]

i forgot heatmor existed

 

[natu]

 

[BIG ASHLEY]

i can't believe chaos coded that specifically to give aurora the wrong frillish. fucked up

 

[phoopes]

my default avatar SHOULD be jynx, but IIRC it’s Machamp which would normally be cool, but is an absolutely travesty for the brand that I’ve built

[Teh]

would it be possible to let people purchase a new default pokemon in the next likeshop? i think that one would easily sell out
