I found another bug about Mega Evo, this time I notice that if: the player is in a double battle and activate the mega evolution button, then choose a target to attack, but cancel the choice, the mega evolution button does not reappear, however the mega pokémon normally evolves. It's more of a visual mistake.

Primordial weather is immediately canceled in double battles (and probably doesn't work in singles if only the foe has the ability).
The code currently looks like this. The "if !hasabil" is inside the for loop, which means we'll potentially cancel the weather on each iteration.
Spoiler:

I think it should look like this (untested):

I don't know if this has been reported before, but these moves don't work correctly.
I'm using unmodified 17.2 Essentials with USENEWBATTLEMECHANICS = true
First Flying Press doesn't add the Flying-type damage, to fix this change class PokeBattle_Move_144 in PokeBattle_MoveEffects from this:
Spoiler:
to this:
Spoiler:
Then add this block to PokeBattle_Move right after the Freeze-Dry block and before this line
Code: 
return mod1*mod2*mod3*(mult/8.0)
Spoiler:
Thanks to mgriffin for this solution.

The next move is King's Shield. The problem with it is it will continue to protect and never fails when used consecutively.
It worked for me by changing this line in PokeBattle_MoveEffects in the King's Shield block
Code: 
(!USENEWBATTLEMECHANICS &&
       @battle.pbRandom(65536)>=(65536/attacker.effects[PBEffects::ProtectRate]).floor)
to this:
Code: 
@battle.pbRandom(65536)>=(65536/attacker.effects[PBEffects::ProtectRate]).floor
And finally Knock Off does the same damage whether the opponent loses its item or not, I still don't know how to fix this yet since I haven't messed around with it.

The import all battle animations option always gives this error when it finishes importing:

It seems that trying to search the PokeDex by Weight while having your computer set to a US Country setting will produce a crash. It's an easy fix should you run into this:

On line ~595 in PScreen_PokedexMain
simply change the params[6] and params[7] to sel[0] and sel[1] , respectively.

From this:
Code: 
      if pbGetCountry==0xF4   # If the user is in the United States
        wt1 = (parama[6]>[email protected]) ? 99990 : (wt1/0.254).round
        wt2 = (params[7]]<0) ? 99990 : (wt2/0.254).round
        txt1 = sprintf("%.1f",wt1/10.0)
        txt2 = sprintf("%.1f",wt2/10.0)
        hwoffset = true
      else

to this:

Code: 
      if pbGetCountry==0xF4   # If the user is in the United States
        wt1 = (sel[0]>[email protected]) ? 99990 : (wt1/0.254).round
        wt2 = (sel[1]<0) ? 99990 : (wt2/0.254).round
        txt1 = sprintf("%.1f",wt1/10.0)
        txt2 = sprintf("%.1f",wt2/10.0)
        hwoffset = true
      else

In PScreen_Summary (lines 540 and 559):
Code: 
mapname = INTL("Faraway place") if !mapname || mapname==""
Should be _INTL.

(Found by loading a save from a different game due to them both using the unmodified name)

There's an issue with the sprite positions of forms. BattlerPlayerY, BattlerEnemyY and BattlerAltitude from pokemonforms.txt are showing up correctly in the game's sprite position modifier however it's not working in battle like shown in the screenshots:

I found a couple of threads with solutions for this problem but I haven't tested them yet Post1 Post2.
If anyone knows an easier way to fix this please let us know.

Edit: Neither solution from the two posts worked for me. I might have messed up with trying to implement the solution from the first post though, since it's complicated and some scripts there are intended for v16. So someone with better understanding of scripts might have a better luck trying to make it work. I should also note that even if it worked you have to enter BattlerPlayerY, BattlerEnemyY and BattlerAltitude in the script section it's still not taking the PBS values into account so it's not a perfect solution.

I add the languages section, and here what happened.
All the fonts (expect for DP) doesn't show the Chinese, Japanese, and/or Korean text.

I don't know about your problem, however this thread is for unmodified Essentials only as far as I know. Maybe you should make a separate thread if you already changed things in your Pokemon Essentials.

It seems that this game uses the Original Essentials 17. This is only for the unmodified Essentials 17.2 and this bug was fixed in Essentials 17.1

Hmm. Damn. Was hopeful I had 17.2 but... it's a bit hard to find. What's the easiest way to check a version?

When you get the error message, the first line reports the version number.
Code: 
[Pokémon Essentials version 17.2]

Good luck when it comes to finding v17.2.

Using the "Import All Battle Animations" command fails because "index" is undefined on "animations.resize(index)". Which is weird, because I thought the version of Ruby in RMXP would leak variables from inside blocks into the outer scopes. Anyway, my lazy fix was "index = nil" on line 769 (i.e. just before the loop that sets index).

I'm pretty sure this is the place to post this...since i'm pretty sure Eerie Impulse is in the unmodified 17.2 scripts. But basically whenever my Pokémon OR the opposing Pokémon uses the move Eerie Impulse, I get this error message:

---------------------------

As far as I can tell this only happens with eerie impulse. I don't know if something I changed in the scripts did this or if it's in vanilla essentials, since Eerie Impulse is a pretty uncommon move to see used in the first place. If it helps, the most recent thing I did was auto-position the battle sprites via the debug menus. Not sure how that could have affected just a single move though. Thanks in advance for the help :)

You need to change the move's target, inside move.txt, from PBS foldee. IIRC, should be 00 (SingleNorUser) instead 04.

Wow, so that's all I had to do huh? Interestingly, eerie impulse was defined as "10", not 04. So it was targeting the user of the move, which I guess is why it was causing errors. Not sure if I changed that by accident, or if it is that way normally. Anyway, thanks for the help, Wolf :)

Some moves from PBS were added incorrectly (function or target, untill the other stuffs). You'll have to check one by one.

Mat Block doesn't function properly. It's meant to only work on the user's first turn on the battlefield, like Fake Out. But it currently works regardless of how many turns the user's been out for.
