Not on my hands, on someone else's hands hopefully aha. I don't really have a ton of time programming wise anymore, so I would like to focus on other things that would require less dedication. I think this would be a good group/community project though.

The biggest problem with just flat out using 3DTextLabels was the amount of pixels it required (it was well above the limit). What I essentially did to get around this was create two 3DTextLabels that contain every other row of pixels. Its kind of hard to explain, so I'll try demonstrating with visuals. Lets say I have an image that looks like this (i'll use different colors and characters to make it easier to understand):

**********
##########
**********
##########
... so on...

I couldn't fit them all into one label, so I instead render every OTHER row like this:

**********
**********
...so on...

then I create a second label (behind it a bit i believe) with the other pixels like this:

##########
##########
...so on...

They should in theory line up. The issue is that the labels are kind of strange. The closer you are, the bigger the gaps are in the rows of pixels, and if you are too far away they line up wrong (instead of red,green,... it flips the order making a strange image). So, you have to be in a "sweet spot".

This is no issue with pokemon though, as players do not move in pokebattles at all (nor should they even be displayed...so basically just set the camera in the sweet spot).

PS: Make sure you use hashtags for pixels...I tried other characters, but they make the columns align strangely.
