Elite Battle: DX

NOTE: Only the latest versions of EBDX are receiving official support. If you're using this system with v18.1 of Essentials, you may do so, but you will **not** receive any support for any issues related to the system. All issues are addressed frequently in the updates. Upgrade to the latest version to receive the latest support!

This system is not styled with the likes of Gen 6 and above games in mind and does not support the usage of GIFs for trainers and battlers. All animated sprites are handled in a standard Spritesheet format. All the elements are 100% plug and play, but the system comes with an extensive ability of customization and configuration. Please refer to the more detailed documentation for more information on how to take full advantage of the sytem.

This system does not (and will not) include any online functionality.

• Super Shiny Pokémon

Included Resources:

• All 649 B2/W2 Pokémon sprites [front,back,shiny,forms] fully formatted and indexed
