    When I try to playtest essentials, I get this error
    [PokeCommunity.com] "Expected a section at the beginning" error when compiling pokemon.txt
     
    It seems that you have overwritten some berries parameters into pokemon.txt; anyway if you don't provide more information about your edits, we can't do more.
     
    That's another error message which is slightly misleading due to including irrelevant information - I've improved that for the next version of Essentials as well.

    However, the text of the error message is perfectly legible and says exactly what the problem is: pokemon.txt does not start with a section (i.e. a [1]).

    Your the best man:) it's working!
