Every new release comes with new features and Essentials developers will have to update their tool to implement these new features to Essentials. that is true but, Pokémon Essentials is a work in progress and Pokémon itself is a game that continues to evolve. The wiki may have been shut down but people have already downloaded Pokémon Essentials and are still able to use it. By shutting down one of the two main methods to make fanmade games, they basically landed a huge painful blow to the fangame community. Unofficial Pokémon games are usually made through ROM hacking or using the Pokémon Essentials Tool.
This particular action may actually have a big impact to the good percentage chunk of the Pokémon Community. They're actually shutting down a very specific RPG Maker XP program. In other words they're not shutting down a game like they usually do this time.
