Project: Generation 6 for Pokémon Essentials (Pokémon sprites and PBS files)

Hi there.

I'm getting a name error when I finish a battle with Pikachu after they level up. Weirdly it only happens with Pikachu right at the end of a battle (when the screen fades to black) from what I've tested, and I haven't made any edits to the Evolution code so I'm not quite sure what exactly is causing the issue.

Spoiler:


I also followed the instructions to install the gen 6 project as well and all was well up until this issue. Is it something that is part of the scripts mej71 is working on updating for Essentials v16?

I had the same issue, its to do with one of the evolution names being incorrect. If i remember correctly (i don't have the project on me) i had to rename the instances of LevelDarkInParty to TypeDark

Ah! Of course! Makes sense! I guess the old name was used in previous versions of Essentials?

Anyway I changed the names as you said and it's all working now, thanks! ^^

Working under the assumption that English is not your first language.

When playing Essentials through Debug Mode, the intro doesn't play at all. this is to make debugging faster since you don't have to sit through the initial splash screens and get to the "press enter" screen. Likewise, the game automatically sets you to a default character.

This has no bearing on non-debug mode.

Sorry if I'm being incredibly dense or ignorant, but I receive this error on trying to playtest my game after adding your project to vanilla v16.1 Essentials:

Now, I've looked at the section in the PBS pokemon.txt and there is no line for WildItemRare in that section. I've only put in RegionalNumbers that were missing, as per the wiki for doing so. Any advice?
 
Since the PBS file "pokemon.txt" for the updated version doesn't have Sylveon as an evolved form of Eevee, how do I go about implementing Eevee evolving into Sylveon with "HappinessMoveType"?

So, uh... I'm trying to combine Elite Battle with this and I tried to add a Zygarde to my party to look at it and it did that... I can't find the visual/graphical download links to Elite Battle AT ALL, so is that the problem...? Please help... ;n;

...

Okay, I did a playtest of a battle, and one of my problems is DEFINITELY the graphics missing from EB. Can someone link me to them!?

EDIT: Gyarados doesn't work correctly, at least in the summary screen. It's just an oversized sprite.

Female Gyarados? If so, might I suggest going into the Graphics/Battlers folder and deleting the file 130f.png. Female Gyarados won't have the longer whiskers anymore, but it WILL be animated.

That worked, but now I have another problem. Having merged Gen 6 with the Essentials BW kit, I don't know how to swap out the animated Gen 5 sprites for the Gen 6 models. Replacing the battlers didn't do anything. I'm not sure what exactly the script/location for them are, but I plan on having Gen 6 Pokemon in my fan game, which makes this a major problem.
 
RESOLVED:
So as no-one came back to me on this, I did a fresh install of PEv16&16.1, fresh install of this project too. no longer have this issue.

However, question time again:

Firstly, the battlers that are animated, show up as a long line in the Pokedex, rather than just one animated image: what have I missed here?

Secondly, the National dex doesn't show me any Gen 6 pokemon, despite having the PBS contain all 721, and having the icons and battlers for them, so again, what have I missed? I have not played around with any of the files.

When I applied the Gen 6 sprites, I noticed that some of the sprites were still in Gen 5.

Is this normal?
