Hi there, I am using it for my help command

    var help1 = new Discord.RichEmbed()
    .addField(`${prefix}meme`, `Sends a random meme related to The Trio`)
    .addField(`${prefix}BadBoyHalo`, `Sends a random meme related to BadBoyHalo`)
    .addField(`${prefix}braincells`, `Sends the number of your braincells`)
    .addField(`${prefix}Candad`, `Sends information about Candad`)
    .addField(`${prefix}chicken`, `Sends a random picture of a chicken`)
    .addField(`${prefix}pinecone`, `pinecone`)
    .addField(`${prefix}ping`, `Gives the ping of the bot`)
    .addField(`${prefix}pingspoof`, `I think you know what this is`)
    .addField(`${prefix}sotp`, `sotp`)
    .addField(`${prefix}say`, `Make Skeppy say whatever you want!`)
    .addField(`${prefix}latest video`, `Shows the latest video of the channel you specify!`)
    .addField(`${prefix}latest tweet`, `Shows skeppy's latest tweet`)
    new Pagination.Embeds()
    .setArray([help1])
    .setDeleteOnTimeout(true)
    .setAuthorizedUsers([message.author.id])
    .setChannel(message.channel)
    .setPageIndicator(true)
    .setElementsPerPage(1)
    
 .setThumbnail("https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1182235859036332033/bkU06kE__400x400.jpg")
    .setFooter("Made by TheChicken#5845")
    .setURL('https://github.com/thechicken14/skeppy-bot')
    .setColor(4285916)
    .build();

From what I see, you're trying to paginate each field in help1. While your choice of mode (Embeds mode) is perfect for this case, the way you wrote it is quite wrong.

setElementsPerPage method is only for FieldsEmbed mode (this should not be suggested by your IDE while using Embeds mode— that is if you're using an IDE) because Embeds mode does display a RichEmbed instance per page already.

As for the fields in that single RichEmbed instance, I'd like to recommend to create an instance of RichEmbed per field to make it work like you wanted (according to what I can read from the source code) and proper for Embeds mode. For example:

// Make an array of RichEmbed instances and per instance add the field, via Array.prototype.map()
const commands = [
  [ `${prefix}meme`, `Sends a random meme related to The Trio` ],
  [ `${prefix}BadBoyHalo`, `Sends a random meme related to BadBoyHalo` ]
].map(field => new Discord.RichEmbed().addField(field[0], field[1]));

// Applying it to Embeds mode
const Embeds = new Pagination.Embeds()
  .setArray(commands)
  .setDeleteOnTimeout(true)
  .setAuthorizedUsers([message.author.id])
  .setChannel(message.channel)
  .setPageIndicator(true)
 
 .setThumbnail("https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1182235859036332033/bkU06kE__400x400.jpg")
  .setFooter("Made by TheChicken#5845")
  .setURL('https://github.com/thechicken14/skeppy-bot')
  .setColor(4285916);

Embeds.build();

Assuming issue solved.
