When is Pokémon Essentials Version 16 coming out?

Is there any word about when a Version 16 including Gen 6 Pokemon is going to come out? I've been trying to work with the Gen 6 resources but they always act super buggy. Thank you!

Maruno has hinted at him being at work on the next version of Essentials for a while now, but as for when it's coming out I have no idea.

Now, whether or not the next version includes Gen VI Pokemon is unknown. On the one hand, basic Essentials' code doesn't even have some Gen IV or V abilities or moves fully working - for example, Illusion. On the other hand, Maruno did have a direct hand in making the Gen VI Pack beyond just being the author of the software that it was based on.

So maybe Essentials v16 will be based on the Gen VI Pack, maybe it won't. It may not even have the Gen VI Pokemon added to it. Either way, we have no idea when it'll be released. Maruno may decide to wait until Gen VI is over to add the Pokemon to basic Essentials, just so that he doesn't have to account for mid-gen changes like Zygarde.

The next version of Essentials will be out when it's done.

So, no date or approximate time period or anything?

Maruno might've just given the best answer of 2015.

It's the answer I always give. And it's always accurate.

Nevertheless, I don't think this thread is going anywhere, so I'll close it.
