A couple years ago, I was working on my fangame and I required to add a way for trainer to make comments during a battle, like we see in canon games. I know it's possible with the Elite Battle system, but it doesn't fit my game style at all. So I came with my own solution, and posted it as a tutorial on Reddit.
I'm currently updating my own game to v19.1 (yeah I'm super late) and looking for a solution for that exact same issue, the only result I found… was my own tutorial. So I decided to update it and put it here !
It's actually very simple. If the line numbers don't match please tell me ; most of my scripts are heavily modified.

Indeed, even if there is more than one opposing trainers, it will only show the first one. It could be managed for Battle_Action_Switching, but I couldn't find a solution for Battle_StartAndEnd as idxParty isn't set yet. Actually, the step n°5 is only useful if you ever plan to taunt on first turn.

Next time, I'll add a way to show a taunt when the last opposing Pokémon has only 25% of its HP left, like we can see in B/W during gym leader battles (before this mf uses a Full Heal).
