Maybe I should just open a thread for the devs to post their most irritating encounters with essentials in Although that might overlap with a bit too much of the development blog...

EDIT: Due to reasonable arguments, collecting the above could understandably be interpreted in a malicious manner. Hence this might not be a productive venue to explore.
It should be noted as well that Essentials is...well, essential to many fangames' existence, including Reborn. And every large (and complex) coding project is bound to have some suboptimal parts, which become harder to resolve or improve the larger it becomes. And in Essentials' case, it has to function (mostly) like a system that has become more and more cluttered over multiple iterations, and had to add/remove entire sets of mechanics to do so.
Needless to say, I'd be lying if I said I could even make a decent attempt on making something like it. But seeing how things break in unexpected ways is simply fascinating imo.

 

it's partially my fault to I mostly joke about essentials with no malice behind it  and I assume that's what others do but it did bring us all together with these fangames and for that we can all be greatful to the creators of essentials.

Not the first time 'essentials is stupid' caused grief here That's the story of at least a quarter of deveolpment here

the most iconic fault of essentials for me is if the animation editor froze for a few seconds try to open the sound effect manager it would close the editor without saving but as if some strange joke it asks if you want to save but only saves the loctation in game and not the animation work  the phrase "hanging script" curses my nightmares

Look pretty good I do think, for the latter two moves, moving (/jiggling) the opposing mon a just little to sell the impact of the attack would improve it a little.

unfortunatley I cant move the target in thousand arrows/waves because essentials is stupid it would only effect one target so that would look weird in doubles

They look great. Thank you for all of the hard work and time you're putting into this.

np I enjoy thinking of how to make the moves look interesting the downsize is i want to go back through old ones which are like 5 years old 

 

actually did redo a few since the last episode update so there is that to look forward to maybe there will be even more redone by ep19

[What's Yours Is Mine]

Looking this I'm just thinking how long it took you to mine those to display them unless you used editing to achieve this.

[the finer parts of chaos, chipped away]

I like the new serra she kinda looked sickley in the original. And no Pheromosa had more emotion than serra.

"Not many sidequests means that we wont be getting some nice mega stones?"

Not all megastones have been sidequest related they just are hidden in different places try looking for silver pokeballs on the overworld I think thats what they are 

[Did somebody say pancakes?]

same for me thank the heavens the moves are in your hands by the way the pulverizing pancake looks awesome I know its not easy to make a 3d move into a 3rd gen 2d move. I hope your soul will be able to handle eevee's demonic move.
