TL;DR: <a href="#solution">CLICK ME</a>
Relax, not everyone has Kate installed and/or knows how to solve the underlying issue. In fact, I first had to download & install the mod to see what's going on.
For those that don't know what's happening: when you play as Sorcerer (lf2.net for unlocking him) and do D>JDJ, you'll spawn Articuno. The sprite looks like it's directly taken out of Pokemon Stadium; the bmp-file is 416 x 804 pixels.
BUT, after about half an hour of digging, I noticed that Articuno itself is not the issue but rather this frame in sorcerer.dat:
Skipping it will at least prevent the crash (in-game, Sorcerer spawns Articuno but it doesn't do anything lol). Now it's time to find the real culprit! And....
*drumroll*

This is THE EVIL (freeze_ball.dat):
More precisely, the frame names. The crash is caused by the length of them. Changing them to something nicer will instantly resove the issue, for example, this works:
You can either patch the dat-file yourself or use the one attached to this post. It's exactly the patch shown above.
