    • Can someone help me with this? I'm new to Pokemon Essentials and I was trying to add Gen 6 and 7 into the game. I had the same error when inputting Gen 7, and replaced the Pokemon.txt file with only gen 1-6 in it, only to run into this problem again. Also, the same thing happened when adding Gen 7 items into the game, too. I don't know what it means by "positive Integer" and I don't know how to fix it.

    I think it's saying that you've written "Monster" where it wants a positive integer, i.e. a whole number that's greater than zero (or possibly including zero, although I wouldn't describe zero as positive...)

    But I haven't looked at either the code or your pokemon.txt, that's just a guess based on knowing what the terms usually mean.

    Which Pokémon Essentials version you use?

    I doubt you use that version. Pokémon Essentials 17 and beyond display its version number after an error message. Also, this error message you got can't be reproduced on Pokémon Essentials 15 onwards. Have a nice day!!!

    Um, I'm pretty sure I know what version I downloaded. I mean, it says it's version 17.2 every time I check the folders. And no matter what I do, I still get this error every time I try to load up the progress I made in essentials. I'm also pretty sure people have also reported problems like this before while using the same version.

    It appears that you must have messed up the compiler script. Please try the unmodified vanilla version of Essentials Scripts.rxdaya to see if that happens again

    As I said on Reddit, you're using a pokemon.txt from a new version of Essentials (apparently v17.2) but you're putting it in an old version of Essentials which doesn't support words for egg groups.

    If you still think you're using the latest version of Essentials, then you may have badly updated your old version to it, which is something we can't help with.
