well, im not actually looking for a sideveiw battle system at the moment, i was looking for a template to make vx style animated battlers right now,
There are several different formats depending on what battlescript you're using.
For example, some sideview battles use the regular moving sprites, no special template needed for them.
Other Battlescripts use holder's sprites - or the less often used 8D-sprites. Battle Engine Symphony for example has different add-on-scripts that will allow you to choose between regular sprites, Holder's sprites and 8D-sprites.
Which means you can't simply look for "a" template, you need to check which of several different templates works with which sideview battlescript, and then choose which one you like best.
Here is a link to Holder's page where you can see his sprites and formats, but they are not compatible with every battlescript out there:
