I am getting this issue when trying to use an add on. I have the most updated version and also have closed out the app and tried to delete and can not figure it out

The errors tell you which add-on is the problem.

Disable that one, and then contact the developer (by clicking “Contact Author” on the add-on page) to report the issue.

According to this stackoverflow answer, the distutils package is removed. So you need to install setuptools. Open the terminal and run one of these commands or look for equivalent instructions on Google.

pip install setuptools

Or

pip3 install setuptools

This doesn’t work in Anki.

You seem to be trying to use an old version of Pokemanki, that version has been broken for several years. The customized version of Pokemanki I developed is available for the latest Anki. :video_game:Pokemanki Gold - Raising Pokemon with Anki (Customized by Shigeඞ)
