    Is there any way to change the default size of trainer sprites? I would like to use trainer classes from the DS games, but those sprites are 160 pixels square (after doubling), while Essentials is set up for 128 pixels square. Since Pokémon sprites are already 160 px, there shouldn't be any issues space-wise on the screen, but I'm not sure which script sections I would need to change, or if it would even be wise to do so.
     
    Actually, now that I'm looking at the scripts it looks like this was fixed already in v15 or 15.1 so that the game just grabs the actual dimensions of the trainer sprite you're using. Just tried switching to the newer Bug Catcher sprite in v15.1 without any other changes, and it worked perfectly. Whoops! I guess that teaches me to try things out instead of relying on the wiki so much.
