Overview
This plugin is the spiritual successor to the Essentials Deluxe plugin, which previously released for v20.1. However, this iteration is far more streamlined, and designed entirely around expanding what is possible with the Pokemon battle system. This kit will grant you the ability to design entirely unique encounters for your games that were previously impossible. There's practically no limit to what you can do beyond your own imagination! In addition, this kit will act as the foundation for other battle plugins I release going forward. This includes things like SOS Battles, Raid Battles, as well as generational battle gimmicks such as Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization. Each of those mechanics will act as expansions for this kit, and will expand what it can do and how it can be used.


Plugin Features

• Adds an assortment of brand new Battle Rules to customize your battle events with.
• Adds the ability to set up special boss encounters with wild Pokemon that have increased HP pools as well as unique immunities to make them more challenging.
• Adds the ability to set damage thresholds on Pokemon that prevents their HP from being lowered after they reach a certain damage range, mimicking Raid boss mechanics.
• Allows you to set up Raid-style capture sequences vs wild Pokemon where you are prompted to throw a ball upon defeating them.
• Adds new animation for wild Pokemon that flee from battle.
• Adds mid-battle scripting functionality to allow for dialogue during battle, as well as allowing you to set up scripted battle scenarios.
• Adds new animations for in-battle trainer dialogue, as well as name plates to display the speaker of each line of dialogue.
• Adds new animations for Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion, as well as animation utilities to be used by add-on battle mechanics.
• Implements a new battle icon for Mega Evolution, as well as a held item icon for Mega Stones.
• Introduces a toggleable feature that shortens the names of really long move names so that they fit properly in the battle UI.
• Allows for compatibility between many other plugins that build on this kit to add unique battle features.

Installation

• First, download and install the latest version of the v21.1 Hotfixes plugin, if you don't already have it.
• Next, download this plugin using the link provided and extract its contents to your root Essentials folder so that the Audio, Graphics and Plugins folders in the download merge with their equivalent folders in your project.
• Start your game in debug mode. If the plugin doesn't appear the list of installed plugins within the console window, make sure you installed everything properly and then force the game to recompile by holding down the CTRL key while the game is booting up. If the console says "Game data was not compiled", then you didn't hold down the key long enough, or don't have the game window in focus.
