Kirby, how is your game coming along?

Well, I don't have a fancy video to show off yet but I can show you some screen shots of what it's looking like so far!



So I'll walk you through this.  When you get into the fight, if you have this interface turned on, they won't say their opening line before the battle screen, but there in the start of the battle.  It will first show your name and the enemy trainer's name, and then the name panels will slide out to the sides and be replaced by the panels with the pokemon count.  You'll both send out your pokemon (no animation done yet) and then the letterboxing 'closes in' and the screen shifts up one tile to make room for the more detailed interface.  When you pick your attack, the letterboxing 'opens up' again and it only shows the health bar and status of the defending pokemon.
