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.

- 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.

CheckPokerus, phone-call checks) and record the whiteout spawn on

- 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.
