How can I make battle animations start when the text starts printing, not after?

SBird, Mar 19: The actual order of how events are executed is defined by move effect itself, so it is not trivial to change. Also: The attackstring is printed even if a move misses, the animation is only played if it actually hits, so there's also that. ~SBird
