Enable Route 35, Route 36, Route 37, the National Park and its gates,
Ecruteak City and its buildings, the Tin Tower entrance, the Wise Trio's
room and both floors of the Burned Tower. The story runs from Floria,
the SquirtBottle and Sudowoodo through the Kimono Girls' HM03 Surf, the
rival in the Burned Tower and the beasts' release to Ecruteak Gym,
Morty, the FOGBADGE and TM30.
Port roaming Pokémon (InitRoamMons, UpdateRoamMons, JumpRoamMons,
CheckEncounterRoamMon) with their state in the save; only Continue moves
them on restore, so a failed import's rollback keeps them in place.
Port the Bug-Catching Contest: registration on contest days, Park Balls,
contestants, the timer, QUIT, the catch-and-swap prompt, judging from
the ROM's contestant table, prizes and the saved contest state.
Port the Game Corner's SlotMachine and CardFlip on a new realtime tile
screen that advances two frames per tick with buffered buttons: reel
strips and scrolling, bias tables, the seven streak, Golem and Chansey,
payouts, the Card Flip board, cursor and navigation. Their tilemaps are
checked against the ROM's own data.
Also port getnum, a plain warp that continues its script on the new map,
and PokemonNames' EGG entry. A trainer whose script is ObjectEvent (the
Burned Tower rival) is no longer sighted once its own flag is set, as
the original's read of bit 1 of wNumKeyItems gives with the usual key
items.
The playthrough walks through the National Park and continues to Morty;
its driver chooses moves by type matchup, buys at Marts and uses Super
Potions and Awakenings in trainer battles. New tests cover roaming, the
contest, the Game Corner and Ecruteak's side content.

Enable Goldenrod City and its buildings, the department store with its
elevator and rooftop, the Underground and its rooms, the Radio Tower
floors and the Route 35 gate.
Port what their scripts need: the herb shop, bargain shop, pharmacy and
rooftop sale marts with ROM stock, prices and text; the Name Rater; the
haircut brothers' happiness tables; the Lucky Number show over the party
and boxes with its saved number and Friday countdown (RTC day timers with
the 140-day wrap); coin and money balance boxes; Game Corner prize
registration through NewPokedexEntry; gift Pokémon to the box when the
party is full, with OT, nickname and MAIL (Kenya's 15-letter first line
now stores). Saves gain hallOfFame, timers and luckyNumber, with
defaults for older saves, and wUndergroundSwitchPositions joins the
saved script bytes.
The playthrough continues to the Bicycle, Whitney, the PLAINBADGE and the
radio card. SlotMachine and CardFlip are still refused.

Enable Route 32 and its Pokémon Center, the Ruins of Alph with the four
chambers, item and word rooms, inner chamber and research center, Union
Cave, Route 33, Azalea Town with Kurt's house, the kiln and Bugsy's gym,
the Slowpoke Well, Ilex Forest and Route 34.
Port what their scripts need: saved WRAM bytes by label (readmem,
writemem, loadmem: wFarfetchdPosition, wKurtApricornQuantity),
VAR_UNOWNCOUNT and VAR_KURT_APRICORNS, SelectApricornForKurt and
verbosegiveitemvar, Unown letters (GetUnownLetter, per-letter pictures,
CheckUnownLetter's redraw, UpdateUnownDex, wFirstUnownSeen), the chamber
puzzles (_UnownPuzzle), DisplayUnownWords, HoOhChamber and
OmanyteChamber.
Minigames and specials that draw a whole screen in tiles now share a
tile screen effect with ROM graphics, palettes and sprites, answered
with buttons; the standard font and textbox frame load for them.
The playthrough continues through Kurt's Slowpoke Well, Bugsy, the rival
and the Farfetch'd to the Route 34 gate; its helpers move to
tests/playthrough-driver.ts. New tests solve the Kabuto puzzle through
the world, catch Unown and make Kurt's balls.

The pack's TM/HM pocket lists TMs and HMs with their moves, gives TMs and teaches either through the ABLE/NOT ABLE party menu, the compatibility and "already knows" checks and LearnMove; a TM is used up and makes the Pokémon happier. Eggs show no level or HP in the party menus, get the Egg stats page with its hatching hint, and are skipped by HealParty. Bug Catcher Wade's number registers (VAR_CALLERID and RandomPhoneMon).
The playthrough now runs through Falkner's ZEPHYRBADGE, the Togepi Egg, Kyle's Onix, Flash in Dark Cave, Wade's number and Earl's blackboard. With MAKE_TEST_SAVES it writes a Violet City backup for the manual checks.
Validated with 610 unit tests, 157 browser tests (including all 256 badge bytes against the original BadgeStatBoosts), native/reference builds and reference/vendor/release checks. Egg hatching (#29) and trainer calls (#30) remain on their cards.
Closes#31

Enable Route 31 and its gate, Dark Cave's Violet entrance, Violet City with its buildings and Sprout Tower. Port the script commands they use: gettrainername, askforphonenumber (with AddPhoneNumber's room for Mom and Elm; addcellnum now reports failure as the original does), checkpokemail, loadmenu/_2dmenu/closewindow, giveegg and trade (NPCTrade, with wTradeFlags saved).
Eggs keep their species with an egg flag, as wPartySpecies does. The pack's TM/HM counts receive, check and toss TMs and HMs, which are named TM01-HM07.
The playthrough continues through Route 31 (with Mom's call), Violet City and Sprout Tower to Elder Li's Flash.

HealingHPAmounts and StatusHealingActions tables.
