How To Use

For this script to work, you need to have the following:

• Python 3
• Open Broadcaster Software
• DeSmuME
• A generation 4 or 5 Pokémon rom

After downloading the most recent version of the script, you should have a folder like this:

The assets folder needs to be populated with images of all pokemon and named with their national dex number:

• Note: You will also need a file for an empty slot (0.png) and for an egg (egg.png)

In DeSmuME, there is the option to add a lua script under tools -> Lua Scripting:

After the script is running in DeSmuME, you then need to run the python script.

cd <path to folder>
python Script.py

Then over in OBS, you need to add image sources for the the team members and their health bars making sure to point to the files located in the out/ folder.

Then add the text for each team member making sure to point to the text files in out/.

And you're done! Unfortunately it is a lot of images/text to setup. But when you're done it should look something like this:

Download

You can download the latest version of the script for Windows since DeSmuME doesn't support Lua scripting on other platforms.
