Oh wow, I'm happy that your project is becoming popular
About the kit thing, I actually don't think Essentials is the best option, I mean, if I had free time to code Pokemon stuff I wouldn't give Pokémon Essentials that time, it's an amazing kit but it's getting quite old because of the software it's made for (it's sad to see how amazing projects run slow because of this even having a computer with a good CPU/GPU)
