For lack of a better way to explain, I am thinking in the direction of Pokemon. In the end I will have a bunch of enemies, and the thought of making a new scene for each one is terrifying. Is it possible to use just one scene, instance it when chosen for battle, and then change the values/sprite on the fly?

It sounds difficult, and I am probably making it too difficult on myself, but I can’t seem to logically think of an answer myself.
