Are you working on this? I wouldn't mind adding 5th gen into my game. Also does this include the GFX files for the pokemon? or just the .txt files?
Yes, I am waiting for Maruno update some things on Essentials.

The current kit have:

pokemon.txt (deprecated, use the one in my last post)
moves.txt (deprecated)
abilities.txt (deprecated)
tm.txt (only need to replace all "MR_MIME" to "MRMIME")
Cries.
Front, front shiny, back, back shiny and icons sprites including alternative forms. The backers are edited versions with gen 3/4 style.

It won't break anything, no, however, you're going to have to do a lot of copying and renaming of the sprite files because in v7, the female forms have their own files. You'll need to duplicate animated sprites and rename them to fit into the female spots otherwise those won't work. It also doesn't include the sprites for alternately formed pokemon. So if anything, it's now just a bit incomplete.

But still works fine. c:

This must be something that Maruno change in newer versions.

About the backers, DON'T DO IT!

http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=233208 have it
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=270197 have it animated.

The game shouldn't immediately crash when adding new species, but there will be form-recording problems later on. That's the only thing I've changed in that regard.

It just makes sense to start a new game when you've made such a big change as adding a new species, though. "Start a new game" should be step 1 when it comes to troubleshooting any problem.

ok i thin i've missed something here. i've taken everything from the unova pack (sound effects, graphics and .txt files) and placed them in their proper folders within essentials and replaced the old .txt files with your ones. it excepted this but then i have an in game problem. every time in debug mode i attempt to give myself a unova pokemon it gives me this error message:

Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
PokemonUtilities:1246:in `pbSeenForm'
PokemonUtilities:1221:in `pbAddPokemon'
PokemonDebug:403:in `pbDebugMenu'
PokemonDebug:299:in `loop'
PokemonDebug:610:in `pbDebugMenu'
PokemonPauseMenu:242:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'
PokemonPauseMenu:241:in `pbFadeOutIn'
PokemonPauseMenu:241:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'
PokemonPauseMenu:142:in `loop'
PokemonPauseMenu:256:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'

i've tried with older pokemon and it works fine so t doesn't seem to be the method. also moves have been changed completely so pokemon are learning all kind of weird moves and they all have different effects. i have no doubt that i've done something wrong here. i think it's probley how i've ut all this togather. can you please tell me what i've done wrong and possibley tell me a program or method to use.

thanks

I updated the tms.txt on topic (and NOT the pack yet) with the BW2 move tutors.


PS: To fix the error:

Code:
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
PokemonUtilities:1246:in `pbSeenForm'
PokemonUtilities:1221:in `pbAddPokemon'
PokemonDebug:403:in `pbDebugMenu'
PokemonDebug:299:in `loop'
PokemonDebug:610:in `pbDebugMenu'
PokemonPauseMenu:242:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'
PokemonPauseMenu:241:in `pbFadeOutIn'
PokemonPauseMenu:241:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'
PokemonPauseMenu:142:in `loop'
PokemonPauseMenu:256:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'

In PokemonUtilities, after line 'if !$Trainer.formseen[species]' add '$Trainer.formseen[species]=[]'.

Nope, I don't see any problems with the exp gain :D

Are you planning to add the Pokemon form in pokemon.txt?
