    Okay, So On essentails is it possible to change the battle sprites of pokémon.

    So, the whole game is based as FR/LG, So the sprites would stay as the defaults, but I was thinking of adding some kind of Time Travel, taking the player to a G/S styled area, but I need to know while the player is on thouse maps, can the encountered pokemon and current caught pokemon appear as the G/S sprites if I inserted them somewhere in my Game's files?

    Sorry if this doesn't make sense. >W<
     
    Go to Spriters Resource> Gameboy> Letter P> Then Find Pokemon Gold/Silver, Ifyou want you can replace the old sprite

    You Need Paint.NET ( Paint.NET is same like Photoshop)

    1, Copy the image you like
    2, Go to Graphics of your Pokemon Essentials and Find the picture you want to edit then open it with Paint.NET
    3, Just Press Edit Then Paste
    4, Click The Magic Wand
    [PokeCommunity.com] Changing Battle Sprites

    5, Just click the Magic Wand Then Click The Extra Backround Of your sprite, then Press Delete Button on your keyboard
    6, Save it

    Then test it, It Works On Meh!!

    My only question is do you mean to change the sprites of every Pokemon while there or only the ones indigenous to the GS-styled place?

    Regardless, if you want to change all Pokemon, go to the script section called Pokemon Utilities and def pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies.

    In it, you'll see a few lines like these:
    Code: 
      if pokemon.egg?
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03degg",species))
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/egg")) if !bitmapFileName
  else
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s%s_%d",species,
       pokemon.gender==1 ? "f" : "",
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "",(pokemon.form rescue 0)))
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s_%d",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "",(pokemon.form rescue 0))) if !bitmapFileName
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s%s",species,
       pokemon.gender==1 ? "f" : "",
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "")) if !bitmapFileName
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "")) if !bitmapFileName
    # Alter bitmap if supported
    alterBitmap=(MultipleForms.getFunction(species,"alterBitmap") rescue nil)
  end

    Try adapting this code, depending on the conditions of your G/S/C styled area:
    Code: 
     if CONDITION YOU SET HERE
  if pokemon.egg?
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/gs%03degg",species))
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/gsegg")) if !bitmapFileName
  else
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/gs%03d%s%s%s_%d",species,
       pokemon.gender==1 ? "f" : "",
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "",(pokemon.form rescue 0)))
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/gs%03d%s%s_%d",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "",(pokemon.form rescue 0))) if !bitmapFileName
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/gs%03d%s%s%s",species,
       pokemon.gender==1 ? "f" : "",
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "")) if !bitmapFileName
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/gs%03d%s%s",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "")) if !bitmapFileName
    # Alter bitmap if supported
    alterBitmap=(MultipleForms.getFunction(species,"alterBitmap") rescue nil)
  end
else
  if pokemon.egg?
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03degg",species))
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/egg")) if !bitmapFileName
  else
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s%s_%d",species,
       pokemon.gender==1 ? "f" : "",
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "",(pokemon.form rescue 0)))
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s_%d",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "",(pokemon.form rescue 0))) if !bitmapFileName
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s%s",species,
       pokemon.gender==1 ? "f" : "",
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "")) if !bitmapFileName
    bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "")) if !bitmapFileName
    # Alter bitmap if supported
    alterBitmap=(MultipleForms.getFunction(species,"alterBitmap") rescue nil)
  end
end

    If you set the If block to the correct conditions, the game will look for "gs001,png","gs002.png","gs003.png" and so on while you're in that map. If it is one map, the condition you want is if $game_map.map_id == (Maps ID).

    The code IceGod64 quoted looks rather different in the upcoming version 9, and will be much easier to modify to this purpose. It is the correct solution, though.

    I did everything you said there, and I got this.
    I'm not good with scripts and stuff, so I wouldn't know where to begin in doing this. :/
