The problem can be the volume of the music used. You can try to normalize the tracks using software. You might want to check the volume of the BGM in RPG Maker XP too.

I did... the volumes aren't the same.....
If testing in RPG MAKER XP it can go up to 100 as example, but in the Actual game the Battle music sounds like 60% or 70%.
Where can i find the script that controls the BGM in a Trainer battle or a Wild PKMN battle?

Hi all, first of all, Maruno, thanks greatly for the new version you made. Remarkable! However, I wasn't able to fix a small comment problem I have. In my game, I included a sort of 'midgame encounters' in which the player face a wild/Legendary Pokemon directly, before turning it into a regular battle. In this, I use animations which need to be dodged. However, I can't get this right. I mean, the animation is there, but how do you create the game that the animation really has in impact on the player when touched.
On the other hand, you are able to make an event when the player touch an event, but can you either do something like Conditional Branch: if EV001 touch/hit EV002 then ...?

I copied over Trainers.txt and trainertypes.txt from my old project and I get this error when I try to run the game:

That's very much not an Essentials question. Any RMXP game could have something like that happen. It just requires clever eventing, since there's no way to decide whether an animation "touches" anything.
In the latest version I renamed Mr Mime's internal name to MRMIME. It used to be MR_MIME. Make sure it shows as the new version (no underscore) in pokemon.txt, as well as in trainers.txt if any trainers use it.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before....
But is there a way to put an animation for puddles like there is with the grass? I have the animation made and stuff.. Just not sure how to apply it and all that.
Any help/tutorials?

Putting the animation in is as easy as making grass rustle while walking through it. However, the trick is to make the ripple animation appear below the player. I don't know how to do that, which is the main reason I haven't already done it.
Said technique would also be useful for making footprints in sand/snow.

I couldn't find an example, so I was just wondering how to correctly buy a Pokémon from a vendor (similar to the Magikarp Salesman in RBY). I figure it's simple, and I made a makeshift event that's kind dinky. Any help here?

Hey guys, I've a question for you all.
I'm trying to make a push block puzzle for Pokemon Pyrite, and I've hit a bit of a snag.
I have a block that is set to Event Touch, and an event that tells it to move away from the player by one square. This works great but for one thing. When I am up against a wall, and I continue to push it, it stays there. This is what I want it to do, but, when I move away from it, up or down for example, it then moves away from me.
This can be problematic, as this means you could push the block when its stuck in a corner.
Any thoughts?

Hello. For my game, I am trying to give the player a starter that is holding an Oran Berry. When I attempted it, following the wiki, I got this error:
This is the exact script I have in the event:

The error message you deftly posted contains both the error, cause and solution. I would say what you did wrong was not read it.

It's not that I didn't read it, is that usually when I get that message, there is something more fundamentally wrong with the way I called the script. Anyway, I removed the parenthesis at the beginning, and got another syntax error:

The highlighted red needs to be;
poke=PokeBattle_Pokemon.new(
PBSpecies::TADOLEDON,5,$Trainer)
poke.item=PBItems::ORANBERRY
pbAddToParty(poke)
notice where the bracket starts... The error itself soley explains, as Maruno so nicely said... Again, all you needed to do was READ the error... Although error messages are quite cryptic, the solution is sometimes within the error, I fix LOTS of my errors by reading them. x

Isn't that back to what I originally did? Anyway, I'll try that.
EDIT: It actually worked. It's weird, though. So it makes a difference if the bracket starts at the top line as oppose to the same one as pbwhatever. When the error states "Line '(PBSpecies::TADOLEDON,5,$Trainer)' shouldn't begin with '('" I figured it meant that I was to move the beginning bracket to the last line on the bottom and the beginning bracket shouldn't be before PB at all.

I pre-empted your confusion, and changed that error message in future versions to be a bit clearer.
The opening bracket tells the game to expect some parameters, so it looks to the next line to find them, rather than assume the next line is a separate command in itself. It will only stop looking for parameters once it hits the closing bracket at the end of the second line. In effect, it treats the two lines as one as required.
Or, y'know, use the Extend Text thingy.
Line 87, which reads File.open(Gifts/Gift.MG,"rb"){|f|. Put quote marks around "Gifts/Gift.MG" like I just did.
I may just be reading this wrong, but it looks like your pbWriteGift will end up writing the details of the gift Pokémon over 8 million times (899*8999). I can't help but think that's not right.
Finally, one of your checks is if @level < 101 || @level < 0, when it probably should be if @level > PBExperience::MAXLEVEL || @level < 0. And you don't need PBSpecies:: when adding the new Pokémon, because species is a number.
Just a few observations.
