This guide lists the terms and phrases that have special meaning when using Essentials.
Jargon
Compile
EBS
- See "Elite Battle System".
Elite Battle System
- A popular add-on for Essentials created by Luka S.J. that makes battles look more like Gen 5.
Eventing
Example maps
- These are the maps that are already created in a freshly downloaded copy of Essentials. They contain examples of how to do many common things in a Pokémon game, such as battling trainers and creating bridges.
Fangame
- Any unofficial Pokémon game made by a fan that is not a ROM hack. Is standalone software and does not require an emulator.
Game Jam
- An event held by a fan community. The aim is (usually) to create a short game in a fixed amount of time. Development of any kind cannot occur before the Game Jam starts, not even planning or creating resources such as graphics or music that will be used by the Jam game.
HD
- Refers to graphics whose pixel density is 1x1 rather than the default 2x2, i.e. less pixellated.
Pixel density
- By default, all graphics are based on a screen size of 256x192 pixels (and map tile sizes of 16x16 pixels), and they are all doubled in size to be usable by RPG Maker XP. Each "pixel" in these graphics is actually 2x2 real pixels in size; the number of real pixels per "graphic pixel" is the pixel density. Mixing graphics with different pixel densities tends to look bad.

ROM hack
- A modification of an official game, usually a main one from Generations 1-3. Considered a counterpart to "fangames", even though ROM hacks are also games made by fans. Requires an emulator to play.
Scripts
- The code underlying the game. Written in Ruby and accessible by pressing F11 while RPG Maker XP is open. The other way to make your game do things is by eventing.
Starter kit
- Essentials is sometimes called this, or just "kit". As the name implies, it is a bundled-up set of resources and code that form the starting point of making a Pokémon fangame.
Vanilla
- An unaltered copy of Essentials, i.e. this is what you get when you download Essentials. If a bug occurs in your game but not in a vanilla copy, it's your fault.
