Pokemon Encounters, what am I doing wrong?

    Alright, so I just started Pokemon Essentials. I have been doing some mapping, have transitions between areas set up now and I have run into my first roadblock.

    While this may be simple, I just cannot get it too work.

    Now here is my issue.

    I have searched the forums, and I have searched the Pokemon Essentials wiki; while I thought I had found a solution after using the method I found it doesn't work.

    Step by step of What I have done.

    1.Opened my RMXP, then my Essentials project.
    2. Opened the Script Editor Interface.
    3. Went into the Pokemon Encounter Script.
    4. Found a portion of the script which is between a def/end phase. Line 72.
    5. Put these parameters within the Script interface.
    Line 72-def
    Line-73-28
    Line 74-25,25,10
    Line 75-Land
    Line 76-PIKACHU 2,5
    Line 77-PIDGEY 2,4
    Line 78-RATTATTA 2,5
    Line 79-SPEAROW 2,5
    Line-80-end
    6. Tried to launch my "test game"
    7. Received Error- Script 'PokemonEncounters' line 73:SyntaxError occurred.

    Now, I know I am doing something wrong. if it is not too much to ask, can someone please help me resolve this issue?
     
    The easiest way for you would be to start again, and then define the encounters in-game using the Debug function "Set Encounters".

    You should have edited the PBS text file encounters.txt, not the scripts. The "Land" encounter method also needs exactly 12 lines of species (you can repeat them).
     
    Alright, so that did work! Man am I excited, slowly getting this accomplished. Thank you very much. This will save me a lot of time.
