v20.1 Improved Item Text [v20.1] [DEPRECATED] 1.0.2

NOTICE:
This plugin is now deprecated, and no longer supported. As of Essentials v21, the features of this plugin are now included by default, and thus this plugin no longer has any use in the newest versions. I will leave the download link and installation instructions for this version below for the time being for those who are still using v20, but I may remove this at a later date.​

Disclaimer: The features of this plugin are features that Maruno has already implemented into future releases of Essentials. I've just packaged it as a plugin for current Essentials for the time being. I'll delete this once it becomes part of the default release.

Overview
Have you ever noticed in the most recent generation of Pokemon games, that the text displayed for certain items are more complex when referenced in dialogue? For example, in older generations, if you find a Honey item in the overworld, the game would say "You found a Honey!". However, in the modern games, it'll say something that makes more grammatical sense, such as "You found a jar of Honey!". Not every item does this, only ones that don't make sense when referenced without a proper container or "portion" size. For example:

"a bag of Soft Sand"
"a sprig of Jolly Mint"
"a serving of Leftovers"
"a bottle of Fresh Water"
"a pair of Wise Glasses"
...etc, etc.

Certain items have these sorts of "portions", container, or some form of allotment size that makes more grammatical sense when displayed in dialogue, shops, and messages. Well, this plugin modifies Essentials by updating all of the relevant items in the game so that they will display in this way as they do in the modern Pokemon games. Every item up to Gen 9 is included here. However, this excludes items that aren't relevant to Essentials such as curry ingredients (Gen 8 Camping), sandwich ingredients (Gen 9 Picnics), Pokemon materials (Gen 9 TM Crafting), and various one-off Key Items that don't play a role in Essentials (Gold Teeth, Roller Skates, etc.). Besides those, however, all the core items up to Gen 9 have been accounted for.

If your game isn't using Gen 9 items, or you have removed some items from you game, don't worry, this plugin will just ignore applying these changes to any items if they don't already exist in your game. If you would like to add this feature to your own custom items that may require it, you simply need to add the PortionName and PortionNamePlural properties to your item's PBS data. Your game will then auto-compile these changes when you load up in Debug mode. Here's an example of what the Charcoal item looks like after installing this plugin, to act as a guide if you're confused:



Plugin Features

• Updates item text for all relevant items to display the appropriate "portions" in dialogue, to match the standards of the modern series.
• Modifies data for all official items up to Gen 9 to meet these new standards, as well as custom items exclusively added by any of my plugins such as ZUD.
• Uses Essentials Deluxe to auto-compile changes to PBS data, so installation is a quick and painless process.
• Safe and easy removal if you no longer desire the plugin's features.
• Full compatibility with all of my other plugins, as they have all been updated to now use this style of item text display as the standard if this plugin is installed.
