News - 28th September 2020

Pokémon Essentials v18.1 has been released! It focusses on bug fixes, but it makes a few changes too. The list of script sections now looks a bit different, as there's been some rearranging going on as well as the addition of "titles" for each group of sections. Evolution code has been overhauled, and jumping over ledges is now more accurate to the official games. Have a look at the change log for a more detailed list of what v18.1 has to offer. This wiki cannot provide any download links. Enjoy!
