[Battle] Replace the player battle sprite by a Pokemon

[GarbageFly]

Hey guys, quick question,

Is it possible to skip the pokeball throw animation and have the "trainer" jump into battle as the first pokemon in the party? Kind of like with the Old man or the Safari encounters?

My goal is to make a fire red hack where you play a pokemon, so I plan to change the player battle back sprite into a pokemon back sprite and have the battle start right away, how would I go about that?

Most likely not, since you would need to add back sprites for all 386 Pokemon, and then write asm that sets the sprite to the species of the first in your party.

Why don't you simply make the trainer and pokeball sprites invisible?
