I'm not sure I'm in the right place to post this and I deleted my earlier post because I messed up and didn't provide enough info, so I'm terribly sorry about that. Clumsiness and stupidity out of the way...Hello! I'm new to the PokeCommunity and I've had a strong interest into making a certain Pokemon fan-game in mind since 2018, however I haven't had the time, self-confidence or motivation to start developing due to life commitments. Now that I want to get started, I don't really know where to begin. With that said, I have a few questions.
Firstly, I was wondering which generation style is better for Pokemon Essentials (mainly referring to the trainer and Pokemon OWs). I have no intention of making a ROM hack but I might change my mind once I do some research. Can the Gen 4 style incorporate overworld trainer sprite animations like in Pokemon Rejuvenation? I want to give a good amount of focus into the story so important characters can visually express their emotions via OW animations, just like the gif you see below:

Is it easier to put more detail with shading and clothing for trainer OWs in Gen 3 style than with Gen 4? I want the game to look aesthetically pleasing and stand out. (See below)

Also, what battle system is more widely used in popular Pokemon fan-games? At the moment, I'm deciding between the Elite Battle System similar to Pokemon Xenoverse and the polished battle system used in Pokemon Reborn + Rejuvenation (Examples posted below). I do want most, if not all move animations (and Pokemon sprite animations if I choose to go with EBS) on a battle system so I might go for the latter option but gameplay-wise, EBS feels more realistic to me. However if the community player-base has an unanimous preference for a specific battle system then I might just go for the popular option.

I might have some more questions to ask because I'm pretty impulsive and forgetful so bear with me if you can. Let me know what you think!
