    Hello
    so yea, I found a tutorial online about how to make a Pokemon fan game with RPG Maker XP
    However, I encountered a problem not explained in the tutorial
    At first, it was an error message about RGSS (iirc), today, it's another message I get
    it says: "Failed to obtain a trial serial number from the nTitles server"
    The thing is, I bought it from steam on sale (it was like 5$)
    So what the hell is wrong with this?
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks

    If you bought it from steam, send an e-mail to Enterbrain support (the developers of RPG Maker), or just ask in their forums.

    Well, if i launch RPG Maker through the shortcut on my desktop, everything is fine
    But when I open Pokemon Essential, the .rxproj file, then I get that message :(

    Just found another problem
    When I go in the database, there's nothing
    No Pokemon, no character, no moves, no abilities, nothing

    What could be the cause of that?

    Essentials doesn't use the database, instead, it uses text files, which you can find in the PBS folder of your project, to set up all of your pokemon related data.
    The wiki explains how to edit these PBS files, and I'm sure most tutorials online do too, at least for some things like creating a new pokemon/form.

    alright thanks
    but just to be sure if my tutorial isnt outdated
    It's using V16.2
    Do you think I should be alright?
    I mean, is there lot of changes between V16.2 and 17.2?

    • There's nothing worng with it. I suggest that you what this series about how to make a pokémon game using essentials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFTYCUM5jKy6_NxegN-cHBfL2UPF-ZRBl

    But before that, I suggest that you start a fresh project, without essentials, just to get the grasp of event commands. It's a great way to learn how to use the engine better and will help you out alot while making a game with essentials.
    When you get an understanding about variables, conditional and choice commands, try to make a calculator, it's a good challenge for starters. (:

    Well, I have basic knowledge about C++ and C#
    do you think it's enough to skip that part?
