The "Pool Name" field is only used by the Question Generator Tab, and will not show up anywhere in the final script. Modify these as desired as soon as possible, as it will be difficult to do so after designing the quiz questions. '''For best results, ensure all pool names are unique!'''

==== Starter ~~Inputs~~ ====

==== Starter Species Data ====

~~Finally, the~~ bottom left segment of the sheet is ~~for inputting~~ the ~~starters themselves~~. ~~There are~~ a ~~lot~~ of fields ~~that~~

The bottom left segment of the sheet is the "Starter Species Data" input. This is part of a wider table, but each segment will be discussed individually.

While some of these fields should be intuitive, A brief description of each column is as follows:

* '''Species Name:''' The name of the species as you want it shown in the quiz. If the cell turns purple on entering a species name, this means the Pokémon could not be found in '''Vanilla Translation Strings'''. French and German Translations will need to be added by hand, or all strings involving the Pokémon will need to be translated manually.

* '''Species ID:''' The ID in SkyTemple of the Pokémon. '''[TODO: Explain how this is affected by ExpandPokeList]'''.

* '''Gender:''' The gender of the Pokémon, used to set the frame color, and to add "♂" and "♀" to the hero/partner selection list. 0 is Male, 1 is Female, and 2 is Genderless.

* '''Pool ID:''' The number of the Pool the Pokémon should be categorized under. Each Pool that could be chosen by the Quiz should have at least one valid Pokémon, or Bulbasaur will be selected as a failsafe. '''If the species are not sorted by Pool ID, cells will turn red. The sheet will produce invalid labels if this table is not sorted by Pool ID!'''

* '''Start w/ Vowel:''' If the Pokémon should be referred to as "...an [Pokémon]", check this box.

==== Talk Group & Role Exclusion ====

Continuing along the table, the next two subsections are for "Talk Groups" and "Role Exclusion". Both of these segments relate to either the hero, or the partner.

In the vanilla game, the hero and partner have differing dialogue depending on their species-specific "Talk Group". These columns are dedicated to assigning the talk group for the hero or partner if that row's species is chosen. While it handles pronouns for dialogue, especially in gendered languages, it also affects the way the partner's dialogue is written. This is how they are used in vanilla:

The "Role Exclusion" checkboxes blacklist the row from being an option as a hero or as a partner respectively. Certain Pokemon, like Meowth and Munchlax, are unable to be heroes in the vanilla game. This section is how to replicate that feature of the original quiz.
