Script: Enhanced Battle UI [DBK Add-On] [v21.1]

[Lucidious89]

Enhanced Battle UI for v21.1
An expansion plugin for the Deluxe Battle Kit to improve your battle UI!

Overview
This plugin adds new windows to the battle scene which you can toggle in order to view detailed information about your Pokemon's moves, general information about each battler, and even a Poke Ball shortcut menu. For move info, this allows you to view things like a move's real typing/category, its real base power after calculating things like STAB, as well as any move flags associated with the move. For battlers, this allows you to see their stat changes, in-battle typing, and a variety of effects that are currently in play. This is just some of the information that can be viewed!
