Giving MAIL opens the mail entry: two lines of up to sixteen characters,
kept with the player's name and ID, the holder's species and the MAIL.
The party submenu's MAIL reads the letter or takes it, either to the PC's
MAILBOX (ten at most) or into the pack without its message. The player's
PC lists the MAILBOX by author to read, put in the pack or attach, and
Bill's PC keeps a Pokémon holding MAIL out of the boxes. Saves keep each
holder's MAIL and the MAILBOX.
The letter shows its message and author natively; the stationery's
graphics are not drawn yet.

In the start menu's pack, Select marks an item and asks where it should
go; A or Select on another row moves it there, merging stacks of the
same item unless either holds 99, and B ends the move. The packs that
GIVE and the PC open ignore Select, as in the original.
Left and right on the MOVE screen show the previous or next party
member's moves, skipping Eggs, unless a move is being moved.

The Old, Good and Super Rods run FishFunction facing water: the map's fish
group and Fish pick no fish, no bite, or a Pokémon from FishGroups and the
time of day's TimeFishGroups. The player casts and jiggles with the
fishing frames drawn from LoadFishingGFX's tiles, shows "!" on a bite, and
the hooked Pokémon attacks as BATTLETYPE_FISH. Facing pieces now use
signed offsets, which the rod above and left of the player needs.
Wild Magikarp no longer stop a battle: LoadEnemyMon redraws their DVs
through CalcMagikarpLength and its filters, as the original does. The
length routine matches the original in the reference emulator.

Repel, Super Repel and Max Repel count down 100, 200 or 250 steps where
CountStep does, keep weaker wild Pokémon away from the first party member
that has not fainted, and print "REPEL's effect wore off." on the last
step. The Coin Case and the Blue Card show their balances, Sacred Ash
revives the party once one Pokémon has fainted, and the Normal and
Gorgeous Boxes send their trophy home.
The Itemfinder looks for unfound hidden items on the original's screen
around the player. The Card Key, the Basement Key and the Squirtbottle
run the original's checks for their doors and Sudowoodo, whose maps are
not open yet. Saves gain the Repel's steps, the coins and the Blue Card's
points.

Facing a Headbutt tree asks to HEADBUTT it, and HEADBUTT from the party
menu skips the question. ShakeHeadbuttTree shakes the tree as a sprite over
grass, then TreeMonEncounter scores the facing tile against the trainer ID
and draws from the map's common or rare tree table. A Pokémon that falls
fights as BATTLETYPE_TREE: "fell out of the tree!", and the time of day's
AsleepTreeMons species start asleep.
Smashable rocks run SmashRockScript, and ROCK SMASH from the party menu
acts on the facing rock; after the rock breaks, RockMonEncounter gives the
map's rock set a 40% chance of a wild battle.

FLY opens _FlyMap in the party menu: the region's Town Map with "Where?",
the visited flypoints in turn and the Fly user's icon, then FlyScript flies
the icon off along SpriteAnimFunc_FlyFrom's path, enters the spawn point and
lands it with SpriteAnimFunc_FlyTo. Teleport returns to the last Pokémon
Center's town through IsSpawnPoint. Dig and the Escape Rope lead out of a
cave to the warp EnterMapWarp's SaveDigWarp recorded, which saves now keep.
newloadmap stops its script as StopScript does and the world resumes it on
the new map, which the landing and return movements need. A destination
that is not ported yet gives a notice.

OPTION in the start menu runs _Option with the ROM's labels and settings,
OptionsControl's cursor wrapping and each option's bit handling. The four
option bytes live in the script state and saves, defaulting to
DefaultOptions. The battle style now decides whether a trainer's next
Pokémon brings an offer to switch, and the menu account whether the start
menu describes its items; the other settings are kept for later.

The player's name in the start menu opens TrainerCard: page 1 with the
name, ID, money, Pokédex count and play time, page 2 with the Johto
leaders and the badges owned, turned and closed with the original
buttons. The card picture, leader faces and animated badges come from the
ROM with _CGB_TrainerCard's palettes. GameTimer now counts the play time
from the end of the introduction, capped at 999:59:59, and saves keep it.

POKéGEAR in the start menu runs the clock, Town Map and phone cards with
the original joypad rules. Calls to Elm and Mom run their callee scripts,
with the out-of-area and out-of-hours cases and HangUp's corrected timing.
Mom saves a quarter of trainer prizes once asked, talking to her at home
opens BankOfMom (GET, SAVE, CHANGE and the DST checks) with its digit
amount box, and MomTriesToBuySomething buys items and dolls with her
savings. Saves gain Mom's money, her next item and its trigger balance.

Field moves chosen in the party menu run their original checks and the
ROM's from-menu scripts (Cut, Surf, Strength, Flash, Whirlpool, Waterfall,
Sweet Scent), and Softboiled and Milk Drink share HP. SEL registers a key
item that Select then uses, replacing the Key Items shortcut, and Bill's
PC moves Pokémon between the party and every box.

Pokémon that levelled up evolve after a won battle, following
EvolveAfterBattle's checks over the ROM's evolution bytes, with the
evolution screen that B can stop and move learning outside battle. The pack
uses Rare Candy, stones (with ABLE/NOT ABLE labels) and vitamins, and its
pocket tabs now sit in their own row.

Start opens the original start menu. POKéMON shows the party with the
Pokémon submenu (stats, switching, move order, held items); PACK shows the
four pockets with the field item effects for healing, PP and the Bicycle,
plus giving and tossing. The menu runs on a script draft, and its cursors
persist until a battle clears them. Select keeps the Key Items shortcut.
