OK so i've been working on this for a little bit.
I found out that making the message box a transparent gradient results in a pretty cool effect that's a little different every battle background.
When you go to choose your move it darkens, and the option you're hovering over moves out to the side to create more emphasis towards it (that can easily be changed if people don't like it.).
I was hesitant on using sage because I think it's an ugly colour, but I think it actually turned out well.
