Overview
This plugin builds upon the Deluxe Battle Kit to implement fully animated Pokemon sprites for all species up to Gen 9 DLC. This isn't merely a sprite pack however, as it implements a variety of features and animations that utilize several functions of the Deluxe Battle Kit and other supported plugins. This plugin builds off of the code that was formerly part of the Generation 8 Pack by Golisopod User, which itself was built off of EBDX by Luka S.J.

In addition to providing the actual sprites for every species, (including shiny sprites, icons, shiny icons, and footprints), this plugin also implements several key features that I'll briefly outline below. More details for each feature may be found in the plugin tutorial linked below.
  • Sprite scaling.
  • Animation speed settings.
  • Animated battler shadows.
  • Differently-colored Super shiny sprites (settable hues).
  • Mosaic-style form change animations.
  • Substitute doll sprites and animations.
  • Status conditions place a colored overlay on Pokemon sprites.
  • Animations for sprites can be changed or affected by certain conditions.
  • Moves that put the user in a semi-invulnerable state (Fly, Dig, etc.) properly hides the user's sprite.
  • Improved metrics options.
  • An overhauled and improved Sprite Editor.
  • Midbattle Scripting features.

Installation
  • First, please install the latest version of the Deluxe Battle Kit. This plugin functions as an add-on to that kit.
  • Next, download this plugin using the link marked with [PLUGIN] and extract its contents to your root Essentials folder so that the Graphics, PBS and Plugins folders in the download merge with their equivalent folders in your project.
  • If this is your first time installing the plugin, you must also follow the link marked with [SPRITES] and extract its contents to your root Essentials folder as well. This download contains only the actual Pokemon sprites. These are kept separate from the core plugin download so that you don't have to redownload all of the sprites each and every time the plugin requires updating, since there are a LOT of sprites.
  • Start your game in debug mode and make sure you 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.

Plugin Tutorial
Please refer to the add-on page for this plugin in the Deluxe Battle Kit Tutorial.

work great, hope adding the armored mewtwo animated
Fantastic resource. As someone who uses EBDX / animated sprites, I've been looking forward to adding some of the newer Pokémon to my project for a very long time. This is a very comprehensive collection of basically every sprite, including all alternative forms...excellent work!
I believe this my first review for any resource. This is something I have waited for a long time for. An incredible resource to bring the static Pokémon sprites to life. I cannot fathom the amount of time it took to collect these, organize them. THANK YOU.

I will use these for all my future games. Have a wonderful day.
The features this adds is amazing, and is cleaner than using GIFs which is what I was doing. However, the Gen 1-5 sprites perhaps needs a new source or a new rip as these have a bunch of pokemon that are poor quality. For example:

Kirlia back sprite has the top of her head cut off.
Mew front sprite is insanely compressed and fuzzy.

I can come back with a list of some sprites that would need updating, but tbh I think it would be better to just get a fresh rip of these sprites.
Works great- brings a lot of life to game. Very simple to use
oooooo, something we need. love it. would used a lot.
