Pokémon Essentials, version "This One Goes To" 11 is now available for download!

There's a few very noticeable additions to Essentials this time around, not least of which are the 156 Pokémon from Gen 5. There's also an exciting Mystery Gift feature, as well as seven new mini-games. Also, the first batch of animations to come out of the All Animations Project have been included.

Beyond that, there are improvements to the example maps, including a whole new map for Daisy's house (the previously door-less one in Lappet Town) filled with ribbon-givers and Pokémon raters. A single map can now span multiple squares of the region map. Pokémon now have improved and expanded debug options. You can now fuse Pokémon together with the DNA Splicers. Ribbons are easier to use. Partner trainers will let you deal with single battles rather than try to butt in. And a variety of other improvements, as well as many bug fixes.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas, and a happy new year!
