The first few steps deal with replacing files, which means you do not need to open your game until the 'Upgrade scripts' step. You should follow these instructions in order. So do it.įrom here on, 'Essentials' refers to a fresh, unaltered copy of the latest version. So you know what you need to do in order to turn a fresh copy of Essentials into your game. On the other hand, you know exactly what you've done while making your game you know if you've edited/added any scripts or files (and which ones), you know how you've put your maps and events together, and you've been keeping track of all that specifically for this moment - the tutorial 'How to use Essentials' told you to do so. You'll end up wasting a whole lot of time figuring out what changes you'd need to copy over, and you'll probably miss some anyway which means you'll break things. The change log for the latest version is just a general overview of what's happened, and doesn't list absolutely everything anyway. Put simply, it's much easier than the alternative, which is to take the new things from Essentials and put them into your game.

You're going to start with the latest version of Essentials, and modify it to turn it into your game. That's great, but now there's a new version of Essentials out, and you want your game to have the improvements that came in that new version. Where do you stand on the issue? Do you support Nintendo or do you think they are overprotective? Let us know in the comments.You've started making your game in a version of Essentials. However, many are quite disappointed to see the end of some of their favorite fan projects. Nintendo has always been known to be very protective of their properties, so this doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Pokemon Essentials allowed fans to create their own Pokemon games using assets including sprites and music. We will not allow Pokémon Essentials or any of its assets to be hosted or distributed on PokéCommunity.” It doesn't need to be a bigger deal than it should be. “Today, the Pokémon Essentials wikia and all downloads for it have been taken down due to a copyright claim by Nintendo of America,” said PokeCommunity admin Marin, “Please don't freak out about the claim, and there's no reason to get angry with Nintendo or anyone else involved. The tool, which is hosted on the PokeCommunity message boards, as well its related Wikia, will no longer be available online. The tool has been used to make many Pokemon spin-off games, some of which have also been banned by Nintendo, over the past few years. Nintendo served a takedown notice to popular Pokemon fan game creator Pokemon Essentials.
