The sound engine (audio/engine.asm, home/audio.asm) is ported on a byte
copy of its audio WRAM and a sound register model. A reference test runs
the cartridge's routines beside it and matches the WRAM and registers
after every UpdateSound for all songs, effects and cries, fades, the
danger tone and effect priority. apu.ts synthesizes the four channels in
an AudioWorklet; its output matches the reference emulator's APU by
spectrum. The world runs the engine twice per tick; Play or the first
press unlocks sound, pausing suspends it, Settings sets the volume.
Wired in: map music by map setup and special map music, script audio
commands, text fanfares, WaitSFX and cries that hold the script frozen
(the last page stays shown), battle music, cries, fainting, victory,
capture and the low HP tone, Pokémon Center healing, evolution, the
intro, the Pokédex's cries, PCs, marts, healing items, talk and menu
clicks, bumps, ledges, warps, boulders, the Bicycle and Surf.

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.

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.

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.

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.
