The title says that this error happens when loading, but we're probably going to need more context to figure out where the error is...although if it's a loading error, maybe just deleting the current save file and starting a new game will help.
What were you editing before this error started appearing?

Yeah, my guess is that Marina has a Pokémon in their party that doesn't exist in 16.2 and that causes the game to blow up when trying to show the "continue" screen. Here's a similar error with that solution.

Yeah! I have 1 save file I don't want to delete it because I need it the save file is from 17.2
Then I have Essentials 16.2, too and I tried to load the game from 16.2 but its not working because I already have a save file
from 17.2. If that´s the problem, then its a bummer that I can not have 2 save files from different rpg maker projects :(

Give the projects different names. If they have the same name then your computer will pull up that same save file for both, and that's very likely to cause errors.
