A new game now runs NewGame's InitGender and OakSpeech natively before
the bedroom: Boy or Girl, InitClock's hour and minute steppers with
their YES/NO confirmations, Oak's speech with Wooper, and NamePlayer's
preset names or naming field (a blank name takes CHRIS or KRIS). Texts,
menus and time strings come from a new INTRO profile table verified by
check:reference; Oak's and the player's pictures decode from
TrainerPicPointers, ChrisPic/KrisPic and TrainerPalettes.
The chosen time is kept as a minute offset from the device clock, which
time of day, the weekday, NPC hours and the daily reset now read. The
intro runs only when nothing is saved; a save made during it starts it
again. Saves gain intro and clock.minuteOffset, migrated by absence. The
shell's name and character fields are gone. Intentional change: the
steppers start at the device time rather than 10:00.

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.

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.
