Fixed Bug (0.36) : Exp Switch Sharing not taking place

Davey

When shifting out Pokemon mid battle, and after the Pokemon faints, you would expect both Pokemon to recieve a share of the Exp pool each.

This is what evidently should be happening, but currently it is glitched, and only the first Pokemon who came out against the opposing Pokemon gets the full share of the Experience pool. The message is displayed in such a way as to suggest it wasn't changed to break this feature on purpose, since it still appears to attempt to share, it just isn't sharing properly.

Example:
[PRE 0.36]
Poliwag enters battle against Nidoran
Switch Poliwag out for Quilava
Quilava kills Nidoran
Poliwag recieves 36 exp.
Quilava recieves 36 exp.

[NOW]
Poliwag enters battle against Nidoran
Switch Poliwag out for Quilava
Quilava kills Nidoran
Poliwag recieves 36 exp.
Poliwag recieves 36 exp.

(Quilava recieves nothing, I watched their EXP to next level numbers, and only Poliwag's went down, Quilava's stayed exactly the same.)

This is tested against Wild Battles only, I didn't test if this works in Trainer/Gym battles yet.

Okay, interesting. In Trainer battles, it starts out the same as you would expect. Difference is, when you switch out again, it starts getting weird. I'll try to recreate what just happened, but my memory is a little hazy.

Battle the first trainer you meet on route 36, the psychic trainer who uses Abra x2 and Kadabra x1.

Poliwag is the first Pokemon in the party, so he goes out first against opponents Abra.
I switch to Quilava, and finish off Abra with Flame Wheel.
Poliwag gets a share of the exp (35 or whatever it was) twice, Quilava gets nothing.
Opponent sends out Kadabra. I can't remember if I said no to switching out. I could have waited until Kadabra was out before switching back to Poliwag. I struggle, but eventually kill Kadabra with Poliwag. Now ignore the numbers, they are not exact (just approx), but it goes something like this:
Poliwag recieves 216 exp
Poliwag recieves 216 exp
Quilava recieves 173 exp
Abra is sent out, I switch back to Quilava. Kill off Abra and then this happens, again ignore numbers as they are not exact, just approx.
Poliwag recieves 36 exp
Poliwag recieves 36 exp
Quilava recieves 36 exp
Poliwag recieves 36 exp

Weird glitch indeed.

Yes, This is true. It happened to me when I switched Phampy out for Quilava. I headbutted a Heracross out of a tree, and it gave all the xp to my Phampy and none to Quilava.
