Increase move limit from 4 to 6 (Pokemon Essentials)

I'm looking for either examples or pointers on how to increase the default move limit from 4 moves to 6. I've already figured out the max_moves variable, but changing the UI in battle to actually allow the use of those extra moves is where I am currently stumped. If anyone knows of a fangame in Pokemon Essentials that already does this I'd be most grateful.

I'd also like to change the resolution to something that scales nicely to a 1920x1080p monitor. As well as tips for increasing the general resolution of assets. Think HD textures. Again any existing fangames that already do this would be most appreciated.
 
I can't really help with the moves thing. It's also something that I don't recommend. Most games (And with most games I don't mean pokémon games, but games in general) stick to the 4 move limit because more than it generally leads to the game difficulty dropping a lot. With 6 moves, you can get supereffective coverage against all types, so the 6 pokémon party makes less sense because you can just get one pokémon and sweep everything. It's something very hard to balance. You would probably need to cut the movesets short, so that the pokémons wouldn't have a response to every type, or reduce the PP of moves to make your game challenging.

As for the resolution, you could try 960x540; 640x360; 480x270; 320x180; 240x135; 192x108
