MANKEY is burned, oh no.. it's not, it's almost dead, oh no.. not that either.. LOL
Nice and I mean real nice animation!
It looks totally pokémon!
Although you may want to reconsider the place for the BRN thing, because it looks not right in my opinion..
Anyway good luck on the game, and I hope to see something more in the near future!

Code:

# Animation Recording Script - made by Wichu

module Graphics
  unless defined?(record_update_graphics)
    class << Graphics
      alias record_update_graphics update
    end
  end
  def self.update
    record_update_graphics
    if $recordinganimation
      self.frame_rate=10
      pbAnimationCapture
    else
      self.frame_rate=40
    end
  end
end

module Input
  unless defined?(record_update_input)
    class << Input
      alias record_update_input update
    end
  end
  def self.update
    record_update_input
    if trigger?(Input::F6)
      if $recordinganimation==true
        $recordinganimation=false
        $animationcapture=0
      else
        300.times {|i|
        filename=sprintf("./Animation/Frame%03d.bmp",i)
        if FileTest.exist?(filename)
         File.delete(filename)
        end
        i+=1
       }
        $recordinganimation=true
      end
    end
  end
end

def pbAnimationCapture
 if !$animationcapture || $animationcapture>0
 $animationcapture=0 
 end
 if $animationcapture==0
 capturefile=nil
 300.times {|i|
  filename=sprintf("./Animation/Frame%03d.bmp",i)
  if !FileTest.exist?(filename)
   capturefile=filename
   break
  end
  i+=1
 }
 if capturefile
  takescreen=Win32API.new("rubyscreen.dll","TakeScreenshot","%w(p)","i")
  takescreen.call(capturefile)
 end
 end
$animationcapture+=1
end

It's a script I made (or rather, edited) to take a screenshot every frame. To use it, first copy the script to a new script section above Main, then make a folder in your project folder called Animation.
To record, simply press F6 during gameplay. To stop, press F6 again. The script automatically deletes the contents of the Animation folder every time you start recording a new animation, so it's advised that you create a gif file using the images before recording another one.
It will also make the game go really slowly while you use it; this is to give the game time to save each file before taking another screen. You can disable this by commenting the line "self.frame_rate=10"; however, this may reduce the quality of the animation.
EDIT: By the way, you should make each frame last 0.03 seconds (3 centiseconds) to get the approximate speed of RMXP, if you use this script (0.03 seconds * 40 FPS = 1.2 times slower, which is as close as you're going to get to the exact speed of RMXP).

I know I'm a bit late, but I agree with Pokemaker that the BRN thing is in the wrong place. You have a lot of space in that box, so why don't you put the icon between the name and the Lv10 thing? I think that might require extending the box some, though. Still, the animations have the correct feel to them, probably because of the fading effect you used on the attacks. It's all very D/P-ish.

wow. those animations look awesome. if i may ask, how did you make the animations on both sides? like how did you make the web go towards the opponent/player? can't seem to do that. sorry if this interrupts anything :)

~Night light effects:
There is no reason to all the twons and even cities to be in total darkness during night. Cool light effects were added to the game, and they only appear during night or when it's needed...

I don't know...am I the only one not liking this idea? Towns are -not- in total darkness...go open up Sunyshore at night, and there are plenty of houses with the light in the windows that illuminates the area not any extra but plenty for what we care. Here, well, first, why are there two light posts so close together? Lose one. I'm not gonna lie--it's a different idea, but...the light circles are a little bleh. Look at what they do to the player's hair. Why not just alter the tiles in the vicinity of the light posts and change the player's hair when within that area?

Spoiler:

All the starters are being revamped totally, including movepool, sprite, description etc. Thats too fit the current fakemon quality, thats is far superior than it was some time ago, when the starters were added. Here are the new Orchynx and Metalynx sprites:

More about them and the other pokémon will be revealed later.
