I know this is my first, and hot post, but i am really intrigued about it. Currently there is only Pokémon Essentials for RPG Maker XP, and i really understand its mainly because of the tile work. Thus Pokémon Essentials for later RPG Makers really seem like very difficult challenges.

From my point of view as someone who tends to work on programming rather than on pixel art, i just don't know why no one tries to implement Smogon's Pokémon Showdown code on RPG Maker MV as it is written in Typescript and it could be modified into Javascript. It would be cool to see a RPG Maker MV Pokémon Essentials.

Maybe I just dunno yet and some one is sharing my point of view and has started to.

Well, I actually know:

But he post it in the wrong place (should have done it either here or in PokéCommunitty).

And also i know the biggest drawback is resizing the tiles. That's the worst part for an Pokémon Essentials MV.

If someone knows an ongoing project of this kind please tell me.
 
Nope. There is no such project. And it's not because of just the tiles, it's because it's not easy to port tons of Ruby Code to another system like that. And Showdown is just a battle system. Even if Showdown's code was 100% compatibile with RPGMV (which it isn't btw) yet, it'd only complete the Battling part. However Essentials is not just a Battle Simulator, there are alot of systems at play to make it as close to a Gen 3 game as possible. If you do want an alternative to Essentials I suggest PSDK or the MK Starter Kit when it comes out.
