If you're talking about Arceus, Deerling/Sawsbuck, Genesect, Giratina or Shaymin, then that's not a bug. They have scripts which automatically determine their forms (getForm), which can't be overridden. The wiki says this, if you care to read it.

Oh!, sorry about that. I did not know.

I got past the error everyone gets and found out the method used to determine the rentals

Code:

pbBattleFactoryPokemon

causes the game up hang up and it will emergency save

def pbDrawTextPositions comments are wrong! The right is:

Code:

#  4 - Base color.
#  5 - Shadow color.

So I found out that in playtest as well as regular game play modes, I get this problem on my tileset:

It's only certain tiles on the third layer, any idea why it happens?

FL · Aug 12, 2012

Shaymin form is wrong. You need to use Gracidea to activates the sky form rather than having it in bag.

Are you using the Custom perspective? If you are, them is probably about tileset priority.

That sums it up, I recommend making houses, and trees the highest possible tile set priority, or setting trees to a priority of 4, and make houses 5 (max).

Do you use it on the Pokémon, or just use it like the Coin Case and all appropriate Shaymin will change? I presume you can use it on multiple Shaymin at once.

Iron Fist seems to not work. As in, it stops punching moves from working altogether.

To be sure it wasn't my game, I downloaded the newest version, added a Hitmonchan with Iron Fist to my team, used Sky Uppercut, and nothing happened. No damage, no miss, nothing.

The same thing happens.

Will mistake be here?:

if isConst?(attacker.ability,PBAbilities,:IRONFIST) &&
(thismove.flags&0x200)!=0 # flag j: Is punching move
basedmg=(basedmg*1.2).floor
end

Yes. The red part should be an @ instead.

I'm not sure if this is a bug... I'm new to using Pokemon Essentials, but I find that in the Outdoor tileset, towards the bottom the buildings and other graphics get mushed together, making it impossible to get a full building. When I tried to use an un-broken building the only graphic that appeared was a single square with a dot of color and a white background.
If I'm doing something wrong could someone let me know, please? Thanks!

You use it on the Pokémon. I checked in a video. There is also a short gracidea animation.

It is a RPG Maker XP question. You need to use different layers (F5/F6/F7).

Okay. The Gracidea now works in the following way:

It has no effect if used at night, or on a Pokémon which isn't a Shaymin Land Forme, or on a fainted or frozen Pokémon. The Shaymin's Forme changes (without an animation). Skymin reverts back when it becomes night, or when the Skymin becomes frozen or fainted. A Shaymin will never automatically turn back into a Skymin, so the Gracidea must be used on it again.

I'm having problems whenever I exit the Pokemon Center in my game. I copied the format from the essentials map, and changed the location to correspond with my map. So I'm not sure what could be going wrong, if this is even a bug or just me being horribly inexperienced.

Anyways I get this message whenever I exit the Pokemon Center.

Spoiler:

When I exit it, the animation works fine, and everything seems to be fine, but then my character doesn't show up and the game crashes. I'm sure it's something simple, but if you could help me out that would be great!

I've seen multiple replies on this being about movements...

You may have a character movement, being blocked... Check your events.

If this isn't the problem then I don't know what is.

I had an error like that as well. Although I don't know why, or how to fix it, I got around it just by changing the location that the player is teleported to. Strange, though.

Edit: Also strange. I only just now updated to v9, and tried it. Whenever I run in-game, the player sprite does not change to boy_run, but boy_surf instead
Haven't checked if girl character is the same way, that save file is on my other computer
But
Am I the only one this is happening to?

You've used your old metadata.txt (which means this isn't a question about the unmodified version, ahem), which still has a blank entry in the PlayerA lines. I removed that entry in v9. Simple solution: delete one comma of the double commas in each PlayerA line, and recompile.
