v21.1 Following Pokemon EX 2.5

Menu fix

Hotfix is up

# Changelog
### Fixed
- Systemstackerrror (Stack Level Too Deep):
- Added a recursion guard to the waterborne_follower? method in Event_Sprite Commands.rb. This prevents infinite loops when the game checks if a follower can surf while loading, specifically when the player is already on water.
### Changed
- Follower Placement Logic:
- Updated Following Event.rb to improve how followers are placed after battles or map transfers.
- The system now attempts to place the follower in the following order of preference:
1. Behind the player (Traditional).
2. Left or Right of the player (if behind is blocked).
3. On the player (only as a last resort if all other tiles are blocked).
- This significantly reduces instances where the follower spawns directly on top of the player.

I think it was irresponsible of me to not clarify this before, so I think I should do it now:
I will no longer be actively maintaining or updating this resource. The latest release of the resource will be left up for download, but will not be updated by me. The download links for all older versions of this resource will be deactivated. Feel free to add-on or extend this resource as you please, but do not expect any updates/support from my end.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my extended period of inactivity.

Huge shoutout to those who answered questions and helped with the resource on my behalf while I was gone (TechSkylander is pretty goated).

Fixed "Required v20 Hotfixes" error for Essentials v20.1
