About
The following is a visual upgrade to the Pokémon Essentials starter kit. It was created to resemble the Gen 5 battle system in both the scene and behaviour. All the scripts and graphics are 100% plug and play. This system does not support GIFs and is not styled or optimized to the likes of Gen 6 games, so the resources provided, and the positioning of the scene elements will not work ideally with new Gen 6 sprites/graphical resources.

Fully animated Pokémon sprites (spritesheet format)
-
Fully animated Trainer sprites (spritesheet format)

F.A.Q.
Q:Help, the game is throwing out errors about missing Pokémon sprites?
If using Elite Battle, run your game at least once in Debug mode to re-index the sprites.
Q:Can I use static and/or default Essentials sprites in EBS?
As stated in the features list, yes. You can still use single frame, static sprites.
Q:How do I get EBS to work with a DS layout?
As of version 4.3.3, EBS no longer supports DS engines.
Q:My sprites are huge/tiny?
If you're not using the resources provided, you'll have some issues at first. The system is not magic. However, you can use the scaling constants in the script to automatically scale your sprites.
Q:My Mega Pokémon are all over the place in this. What gives?
As of v17 of Essentials you can now change battler metrics for forms as well. This is supported in EBS by default. You can use the Sprite Positioner to apply positions based on forms as well.
Q:I'm getting 'Critical Error' messages?
This could occour from a multitude of reasons. A common one being that people tend to use pirated versions of RMXP. Another, is a mismatch of the version of RMXP that you are running and the RGSS10xE.dll Library in your project folder.
Q:I'm getting an undefined method `runScript' for File:Class error
You're missing the mandatory Scripting Utilities (read the instructions carefully), or your Scripting Utilities are out of date!
