Port forced movement (turn delays, bumps, ice, currents, pits), dynamic
return warps, elevators, Surf, Cut, Strength and cycling rules, working
map blocks with changeblock/changemapblocks, and the remaining NPC
movement types and movement commands.
Add tileset animation from the ROM's command tables, grass sprite
priority and special map palettes; room decorations with ownership, the
bedroom PC and save migration; and Key Items access to the Bicycle.
Fourteen original-engine traces compare positions, facing, actors, event
flags and scripted poses. Tile animation matches original VRAM for four
tilesets, and LoadMapPals matches 192 palette cases. skyfall_top now
keeps the $60 sprite offset its step function leaves behind.

Battle PACK opens the Balls pocket and runs PokeBallEffect: the Poké,
Great, Ultra and Master Ball multipliers, the original HP arithmetic
(including the overflow above 341 maximum HP), the sleep/freeze bonus
(BRN/PSN/PAR add nothing), HELD_CATCH_CHANCE and the catch draw.
GetPokeBallWobble draws per shake from WobbleProbabilities and picks the
break-free text. Trainer battles block the ball but still use it and the
turn.
A catch reloads the Pokémon as LoadEnemyMon does (the wild item roll is
redrawn, then the item restored), keeps its HP, status, item and DVs,
restores the moves and PP it appeared with, adds it to the party with
SetCaughtData, registers it and offers a nickname with InitName's
default. A catch with six Pokémon needs the PC and is refused.
catchtutorial runs BATTLETYPE_TUTORIAL as "DUDE": no send-out, an
automatic catch that keeps nothing and prompts that continue on their
own. Both Route 29 triggers, declining and the Dude's repeat offer run
from the ROM. The text reader now handles TX_LOW.
PLAN.md gains a status overview and done/remaining checklists; the
README, help dialog, routine map and handoff describe the milestone.

Mr. Pokémon's ROM scene gives the Mystery Egg and Pokédex, heals the
party, sets the Cherrygrove spawn with blackoutmod and queues Elm's
call. Cherrygrove's rival scene runs both triggers and all three
RIVAL1_1 parties as a CANLOSE battle; reloadmap returns to the script.
Smart AI is accepted for effects with no AI_Smart_EffectHandlers entry
(Normal Hit, Attack Down, Defense Down) and still refuses others before
any random draw, including for reserve Pokémon.
Special calls read SpecialPhoneCallList: the entry's condition decides,
and the ROM's CheckSpecialPhoneCall.script and Script_ReceivePhoneCall
run its caller script through memcall, ending with HangUp's timed
"Click!". Ringing and the caller box are not presented yet.
In Elm's lab, NameRival shows the ROM's "RIVAL'S NAME?" title (the
prompt previously had no page and soft-locked) and applies InitName's
default to blank names. Handing over the Egg and the aide's Poké Balls
run from the ROM. Saves gain rivalName and specialPhoneCall.
The quest fixtures use a seeded RNG (a constant byte never ends the
damage-variation loop) and no longer carry the house's moved objects
into Cherrygrove.

BattleCommand_Screen and HandleScreens run natively. Each side owns
independent five-turn counters that include the setup turn, do not
refresh on repeated use and survive enemy send-outs. Screens expire in
the original non-Link order with ROM messages; the existing damage path
already doubles the right defense and keeps the critical/stage rule.
This closes the only refusal found by the Route 30 stress run
(Chikorita's Reflect).
The NPC movement test now reads the ROM in beforeAll, so it skips
cleanly without one.

Map trainers run the ROM's TalkToTrainerScript and SeenByTrainerScript.
_CheckTrainerBattle runs before tile events at the end of each step and
on idle ticks; TrainerWalkToPlayer builds wMovementBuffer natively, and
writeobjectxy keeps the trainer where it stopped. The interpreter gains
the trainer header commands, wRunningTrainerBattleScript and hidden
items (HiddenItemScript).
Trainers with several Pokémon send out the next one through
EnemyPartyMonEntrance and FindMonInOTPartyToSwitchIntoBattle, including
its BattleRandom fallback. AI_SwitchOrTryItem, CheckAbleToSwitch and
AI_Switch are translated with their original bugs, and wPlayerUsedMoves
is recorded. The Shift-mode switch offer, trainer items, Pursuit on a
switch, Perish Song and Spikes remain refused.
Route 30 and its Berry house are enabled; Mr. Pokémon's house and
Route 31 stay closed. A refused trainer sighting does not restart until
the player moves, so a rollback cannot trap the player in view.

Add the AI_Opportunist, AI_Aggressive and AI_Risky scoring layers with
the ROM's stall, reckless and risky tables, HP thresholds, last-wins
ties and strict knockout test. AIDamageCalc is ported as a
pre-variation damage estimate, including a critical-hit flag left over
from an earlier move, which the original also reads. Smart remains the
only refused layer, so the rival stays gated.

- Random walks and spins from SpriteMovementData, with random sleeps.
- CanObjectMoveInDirection: side walls, land, objects' current and
previous tiles, the radius (stored plus one) and the screen edge.
- Objects freeze while text is open and during applymovement, and
return home when both they and their home leave the object window.
- Wandering positions are not saved; test helpers replan around NPCs.

- Enable Route 29, its Route 46 gate, Cherrygrove City and its buildings.
- Run item balls through FindItemInBallScript and fruit trees through
FruitTreeScript, with a native daily reset of the daily engine flags.
- Port the Pokémon Center nurse (HealParty with the PP Up clamp,
CheckPokerus, phone-call checks) and record the whiteout spawn on
entering a Pokémon Center, as EnterMapWarp does.
- Port standard Poké Marts with keyboard, D-pad and pointer menus.
- Add the recoil battle command (Struggle) and VAR_BOXSPACE.
- Save fruit trees, the daily reset day and the last spawn map; older
version-3 backups migrate by absence.
