Graphics: Gen 3 Move Animation Pack

[TheTinfoilTemplar]

The purpose of this pack is to faithfully re-create the classic move animations from the Gen 3 era of Pokémon games: FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, and to make them available for use with Pokémon Essentials. Future versions will also re-interpret moves from later generations into a Gen 3 style. My estimation is that the final version of the pack will contain around 75-90% of all Pokémon moves from Gen 1 to Gen 9.

Version 1.0 features over 100 animations: 11 common animations (status and shiny/super shiny animations), 89 move animations (spanning from Gen 1 to Gen 3), as well as 5 test animations that don't have opponent side variations yet). Every future update will most likely add an additional 40-50 animations. This pack was made for Essentials v21.1, but it's likely compatible with much earlier versions as well.

The download includes all the resources (animations, graphics and audio files), as well as documents with installation instructions and a full list of the animations featured in this pack.

Quick Start Guide

Installing this pack is quite simple since there is no code component. Before installation, make sure to back up your Essentials project or at least your PkmnAnimations.rxdata just in case there are any issues.

Copy over the animations and sound effects to their proper folders in your Essentials project. You can either copy the files over individually or replace the folders with the ones provided in the pack. Each animation has its own clearly named sound effects, sprite sheets and backgrounds, which means that you can easily replace sound effects, sprites and backgrounds on one move without affecting any of the other moves.

The animation files can be added in two different ways. You can either use the PkmnAnimations file which contains all the move animations already organized (replacing all the default Essentials animations), or by importing each move that you want to add from the Individual Animation Files folder. The PkmnAnimations file can be found in the Data folder. If you wish to import each animation file individually, place them in the root of your project folder and you can then access them from within the in-game Animation Editor. Compile your project and you are set.
