    I was running a playtest of my game to make sure I coded all the moves correctly only to have this come up when I opened the dex.
    Exception: NoMethodError
    Message: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
    PScreen_PokedexMain:328:in `pbGetDexList'
    PScreen_PokedexMain:325:in `each'
    PScreen_PokedexMain:325:in `pbGetDexList'
    PScreen_PokedexMain:350:in `pbRefreshDexList'
    PScreen_PokedexMain:260:in `pbStartScene'
    PScreen_PokedexMain:1191:in `pbStartScreen'
    PScreen_PokedexMenu:126:in `pbStartScreen'
    PScreen_PokedexMenu:123:in `pbFadeOutIn'
    PScreen_PokedexMenu:123:in `pbStartScreen'
    PScreen_PokedexMenu:111:in `loop'

    What could have caused this error? On an unrelated note where are the abilities stored? I need to write new ones for gen6 and 7.

    Are all species you added perfectly defined (do they have icons, battler pictures, footprints, cries...)?
    Did you try to start a new game? May fix this.

    And that's to program in the new effects?

    The new effects would go in the PokeBattle_* scripts (where * means some name, most often Battle and Battler). Search for the name of an existing ability (in all caps) that's similar to the ones you want to add.
