    That's the sad truth. It's only going to become more common as time goes on. People just jump into making their games without bothering to figure out, or at least get a basic understanding of, how it all works. Then they just expect that everyone else can just bail them out. There are so few developers nowadays that understand that they'll be mostly alone on their project. No one is going to hold their hand all the way on it. Few people actually want to do the hard work that's involved with making a game - they just want to be popular.

    Believe it or not, the error messages actually tell you what's wrong. They're not just there to say that you've screwed up. All those words have a meaning. It tells you where the error is, and points you to where the error occurred.

    In this case, the problem is that the constant PBColors is not initialized. Pretty easy to figure that out. The error occurred in the script section "Compiler" on lines 1680, 4098, and 4212. PBColors is on line 1680, which is in the def for pbCompilePokemonData. Since it was uninitialized, pbCompilePokemonData was erroneous. This in turn caused an error for the def pbCompileAllData on line 4098 when it referred back to the previous def. Which in turn caused an error on line 4212 when the def was referred to again.

    I think.

    I have little scripting knowledge, but that would be my best assessment of exactly what's wrong and an explanation of the error message. Just so you'll know for the future.

    As for fixing it, well, all I can recommend is making sure that you're on the very latest version of Essentials, and that you updated your game correctly, and that you followed all of the installation instructions correctly. That's a huge source of problems - people either aren't fully up to date, or they just don't follow instructions that well.

    Hi guys and gals,

    Wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who worked on the project, it's an amazing piece of work. Also awesome to see many members still actively contributing and helping us noobs figure out how to fix and lingering bugs. A few members seem to have asked about a bug that occurs when the move Curse is used, where the stat increases don't seem to happen. Doesn't crash the game, but would still be good to see the stat increases! It didn't look like a fix was found, or at least posted, so I thought I would try to ask again. The Error message looks like:
    ---------------------------
    Pokemon Essentials Gen 6
    ---------------------------
    Exception: NoMethodError
    Message: undefined method `hasBypassingAbility' for false:FalseClass

    My back sprites are the wrong size. I can't just change BACKSPRITESCALE because the Pokemon have inconsistent sizes. For example, Pikachu is too big, while Gyarados is too small. How do I fix this? I even tried resizing the battlers, but that resulted in glitched animations.

    • Hey I just saw that the Battler Sprites do not follow the EBS Naming Convention and don't get sorted into folders when game is run in debug mode... so do we have to sort them ourselves (I'm Kinda Lazy :3c )

    So you decide to post three messages at the same time? You can edit messages.
    The gen 6 files are without a doubt the easiest thing to use.
    I offered help, but you ignored me.

    ..........As I said, you can edit your posts. Do that in the future, there's no need for multiple messages right after one another. The issue with your repel is likely because you haven't updated "items.txt". I assume you started at v15. v16 Essentials brought a new field to "items.txt", the plural items field. If you're using version 15 of Essentials, there should not be a plural item field. If you are using version 16 of Essentials, there should be a plural item field. Double check which version of Essentials you have and if your items.txt file has plural fields for items.

    When I imported the pokemon PBS and sprites, I was happy as a goose in a picnic. I had also already downloaded the icons and the audio files. But then imagine my heartbreak when I saw there was no pokemon from Gen 6 in the Add Pokemon menu in Debug mode! Then I started a new game with the gen 6 starters, but everytime I chose a pokemon from the lab, I got the following error.

    ---------------------------
    Pokemon Essentials
