[Scripting Question] Need help updating my game

[TheCandyFurret]

So I recently came back to my Pokemon Essentials project, and in the time i was absent, two new versions have already come out. I figured this wouldn't be too difficult to patch in, but so far it's been a nightmare trying to find any info about updating 18 (which is the version i have) to v20. even finding update tutorials from v18-v19 has been a huge pain :/ could i get some help updating my game? because my game already has already made decent progress and i dont want to restart.

Too many things have changed from v18 to v19, and I don't even know about v19 to v20. I fear they might even release v21 in a year or so.
My answer would depend on the current state of your game.
Do you have many custom scripts made by you? If yes, then I suggest you stay on v18. If not, then next question.
Do you use many scripts by others? If no, then I suggest you upgrade to v20 directly, it should be easy. If yes, then next question.
Do the scripts you use exist on v19 or v20? If yes, then upgrade to v20. If no, then don't upgrade.
You should upgrade if it doesn't cost you too much. Otherwise, don't upgrade. v18 is an excellent version, there are many useful scripts on it, so you don't need to upgrade.

What do you mean about update tutorials? There is a official update tutorial.

If you have questions about if updating worth it, you can check the update section on my guide. My thoughts about this question are similar to the StCooler's thoughts.
