v21.1 Animated Pokemon System [DBK Add-On] [v21.1] v1.1.1

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.
