Mere weeks after EmuParadise took down all Nintendo ROMs due to fears of legal backlash, the entertainment giant has now shut down popular fan game creation tool Pokemon Essentials, much to the. Welcome to the Pokemon Essentials Wiki download Edit. This is a wiki that is meant to revive the old Pokemon Essentials Wiki that was taken down by Nintendo.

How are you supposed to edit trainer data or add new ones, or is that supposed to be manually done in the PBS files now?For all the improvements you did this time, this feels like a step backwards.The external editor was removed, it seems logical to me that functionality is now accessible from the in-game debug menu instead.

You're right though, the GUI version of editing Trainer data (and Pokemon data for that matter) no longer exists.
I think most people never used it much anyway, since from my experience it is way faster typing out trainers in the PBS manually, that Maruno didn't feel the need to include it anymore? He'll probably chime in eventually on that to clarify further. After looking at it a second time, I was really hoping I didn't sound like a complete ass.

I wasn't trying to come off as rude, but for me, being able to edit trainers semi-automatically was easier so as to eliminate mistakes. I'm not the best when it comes to spelling and I know when I tried inputting trainers and pokemon, etc manually into the pbs file, I would consistently get errors because I spelled something wrong.I'm sorry for making such a big deal out of it.
But I loved the trainer editor and if Maruno did leave it out for the reason you stated above, then I'm going to be disappointed as it will mean much more headaches than nessesary for the many misspellings im going to do in the future. I'm getting away from doing the 'just the changed files' style of update. I figure providing the whole package is more convenient (for me and for users). After all, users should update by starting with a copy of the latest version of Essentials, so I'm now providing that directly rather than 'a base copy plus this plus that'.that users keep track of any changes they've made, which, amongst other benefits, makes it easier to find and replace stuff when you're updating to a newer version of Essentials. Also, if you've updated your game to Essentials v17 and it works, that's the hard part; v17.1 doesn't change any filenames or formats or anything, so updating to that from v17 should be straightforward.I will NEVER do anything which encourages people to take bits and pieces out of the latest version of Essentials and plug them into an older version. That is not the recommended way of updating Essentials, as it'll cause all sorts of problems.
To that end, I will never make a list of particular script sections or methods or whatever that have been altered, even for a relatively minor update like this one where making such a list is at all feasible. Hey everyone!
