Essentials Update Assistant

Essentials Update Assistant v1.0

Pokémon Essentials Version
v18.1 ➖
The Update Assistant is a script that helps update player's games when they get a new version of the game and prevents players with newer versions of the game from playing old versions and possibly breaking their saves. The instructions are in the script itself, along with settings you can use. If you find any errors, please post them in the Discussions Tab. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the previously mentioned tab too.
