kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 d3e3faff72 Measure, weigh and name the European releases' own way (#84)
Checks / web (push) Failing after 19s
Private ROM checks / private-rom (push) Failing after 27m7s
The French, German, Italian and Spanish releases store Magikarp's
length in millimetres (and print a tenth of them), start the Magikarp
house's record at their own length and holder, keep Pokédex heights in
decimetres and weights in hectograms (printed in metres and kilograms),
read the Heavy Ball's weight byte without converting it, and place the
enemy's nickname before EnemyText (French, Italian) or the trainer's
name before the class (French, Italian, Spanish).

map-revision --symbols writes each release's symbol file, so the
reference specs run against a release; specs that pin English data skip
there.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 627f87d8b5 Map the French, German, Italian and Spanish releases' addresses (#84)
Checks / web (push) Failing after 18s
Private ROM checks / private-rom (push) Failing after 25m51s
PRET builds none of these releases, so scripts/map-revision.mjs derives
where each keeps the profile's labels from the 1.1 build: a bank-by-bank
alignment, then the exact references RGBDS recorded while linking 1.1,
read at the matching place in the release, each result checked against
its bytes. All but 1-3 labels per release are found; the rest, in code the
release changed, are -1 so reading them refuses. check:reference verifies
the generated file when the ROMs are present.

CrystalAssets now points the profile at the cartridge's addresses, and
the releases' characters (from their own fonts) and two European text
codes decode. The introduction and Mom's scene play in each language and
every map sweeps as in English, but the releases stay refused until the
logic they localize (units, word order, layouts) is ported.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 3c480a28f0 Read the English 1.0 and Australian cartridges besides 1.1 (#84)
Checks / web (push) Failing after 19s
Private ROM checks / private-rom (push) Failing after 25m36s
PRET's crystal and crystal_au builds reproduce both retail cartridges,
and every label the profile pins keeps its address in all three;
check:reference now verifies that when the rebuilds are present. The
revision comes from the header. Revision 1.0's Battle Tower draws only
the first 21 trainers and picks its texts' gender from the name's sixth
character, checked against each cartridge. A native backup imports
across the three, which share every map, event and object.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 f05fd8ebee Open the League: Victory Road, the Elite Four, the Hall of Fame and the credits (#33)
Checks / web (push) Failing after 18s
Private ROM checks / private-rom (push) Failing after 25m31s
Routes 26 and 27 with their houses, Tohjo Falls, the Victory Road gate,
Victory Road, Route 23, Indigo Plateau, the Elite Four's rooms, Lance's
room and the Hall of Fame are open.

- halloffame (game/scripts/league.ts): the music fades as SAVING RECORD
  shows, the win and the team (without Eggs) are recorded, each Pokémon's
  back picture passes and its front picture slides in for its "New Hall of
  Famer!" page and cry, then the player's card with the play time and
  Professor Oak's rating; the play time stops meanwhile. The world then
  continues at New Bark as Continue does after the cartridge's reset.
- credits and the credits after the Hall of Fame (CreditsMachine): the
  ROM's script, strings, banner Pokémon and THE END, frame by frame as
  VBlank_Credits presents them, with the frames each command group runs
  over measured on the cartridge. B shortens credits seen before.
- wait, appear/disappear of the player, and rival names in battle texts
  (PlaceEnemysName prints wRivalName alone: "???" before he is named).
- The tile-screen renderer wraps hSCX/hSCY at 256 pixels and gives rows
  their own hSCX.
- Reference: the credits match the cartridge on every frame (BG map,
  banner tiles, CRAM palettes, LY overrides, parser), with and without B;
  the ceremony's pages match for every species and the player's card for
  Chris and Kris.
- Playthrough: five stages from Tin Tower to the Hall of Fame (HM07 from
  Ice Path, Tohjo Falls' waterfall, Victory Road's ladders, the Elite Four
  and Lance); the driver follows warps within a map and fights carefully
  from here.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 592ca43a40 Import cartridge .sav files with verified structure, checksums and clock (Closes #44)
Savegames → Import backup now reads an English Crystal .sav (from an
emulator, a cartridge dump or the 3DS Virtual Console's sav.dat) and
converts it into a native save after a preview.

- world/cartridge-save.ts: picks the copy TryLoadSaveFile would load
  (check values and checksums of the main copy, else the backup), reads
  the saved WRAM block, the numbered boxes, mail backups, Hall of Fame and
  Battle Tower by PRET labels (SRAM, SAVE_BLOCK in the profile, checked by
  check:reference with the SAV constants), engine flags via EngineFlags,
  scenes via MapScenes, and the map's objects and masks.
- Clock: an emulator MBC3 footer plus the time since it was written,
  FixDays/FixTime with wStart*, mapped to the minute and weekday offsets;
  without one, the device's time and the saved wCurDay. Day countdowns
  move with the day difference.
- Refused with the reason: unported maps, the Bug-Catching Contest, a
  Battle Tower challenge, characters outside the naming screen.
- Names keep <PK>/<MN> as ᴾᴷ/ᴹᴺ (one character, one tile); trainer names
  accept the naming screen's alphabet; boxed Eggs validate; native states
  up to 256 kB load (a full PC exceeded 64 kB).
- Tests: the committed debug saves, layout offsets against the symbols,
  backup fallback, clock footers, day counters, refusals, slot session
  and the Savegames flow in Chromium and WebKit.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 e49bc6de9a Breed at the Day-Care, hatch Eggs, draw MAIL stationery and browse the Hall of Fame (Closes #29)
- Day-Care and breeding: deposits, withdrawal pricing and growth,
  compatibility, egg species, DVs and moves, DayCareStep, egg
  collection and the Odd Egg, compared with the cartridge's routines.
- CountStep: walking happiness, DoEggStep, DayCareStep and DoBikeStep
  in the original's order; HatchEggs with the ROM's hatch animation,
  compared frame by frame with the original.
- MAIL: all ten stationery types and the Portrait MAIL picture,
  compared with the cartridge's tilemaps, graphics and palettes.
- Printing: Bill's PC boxes, Pokedex PRNT, MAIL and the Photo Studio
  take the original's absent-printer path.
- Hall of Fame records (saved apart from the League flag, ready for the
  League to call) and the Hall of Fame PC, compared with the cartridge's
  _HallOfFamePC on 255 pages.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 7c12c81a27 Ring with trainers' calls, rematch them and play the radio (Closes #30)
Checks / web (push) Successful in 2m38s
Private ROM checks / private-rom (push) Successful in 20m37s
Every registered trainer's callee and caller scripts run, with the
missing specials and commands (RandomPhoneWildMon, RandomUnseenWildMon,
swarms, gettrainerclassname, Kenji's break, the Blue Card and Buena's
password variables). Fight counts are saved, so rematches and gifts work
on every open map, and the daily reset clears the phone's flags.

Random calls follow CheckPhoneCall and the 20/10/5/3-minute call timer;
received calls ring twice with the caller's name, and calls play their
ringing, hang-up and no-signal sounds. Grass and fishing swarms use the
swarm tables.

The radio ports PlayRadioShow and every station frame by frame, with its
music: the Pokégear's radio card tunes by knob, house radios play through
MapRadio, and Buena's show takes the day's password for Blue Card points
that her receptionist exchanges for prizes.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 7f30c3f450 Play the music and sound effects from the ROM's sound engine (Closes #34)
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.

kawaandClaude Opus 5.5 2640fa2725 Open Routes 35 to 37, the National Park and Ecruteak to the Fog Badge (#32)
Enable Route 35, Route 36, Route 37, the National Park and its gates,
Ecruteak City and its buildings, the Tin Tower entrance, the Wise Trio's
room and both floors of the Burned Tower. The story runs from Floria,
the SquirtBottle and Sudowoodo through the Kimono Girls' HM03 Surf, the
rival in the Burned Tower and the beasts' release to Ecruteak Gym,
Morty, the FOGBADGE and TM30.

Port roaming Pokémon (InitRoamMons, UpdateRoamMons, JumpRoamMons,
CheckEncounterRoamMon) with their state in the save; only Continue moves
them on restore, so a failed import's rollback keeps them in place.
Port the Bug-Catching Contest: registration on contest days, Park Balls,
contestants, the timer, QUIT, the catch-and-swap prompt, judging from
the ROM's contestant table, prizes and the saved contest state.

Port the Game Corner's SlotMachine and CardFlip on a new realtime tile
screen that advances two frames per tick with buffered buttons: reel
strips and scrolling, bias tables, the seven streak, Golem and Chansey,
payouts, the Card Flip board, cursor and navigation. Their tilemaps are
checked against the ROM's own data.

Also port getnum, a plain warp that continues its script on the new map,
and PokemonNames' EGG entry. A trainer whose script is ObjectEvent (the
Burned Tower rival) is no longer sighted once its own flag is set, as
the original's read of bit 1 of wNumKeyItems gives with the usual key
items.

The playthrough walks through the National Park and continues to Morty;
its driver chooses moves by type matchup, buys at Marts and uses Super
Potions and Awakenings in trainer battles. New tests cover roaming, the
contest, the Game Corner and Ecruteak's side content.

Enable Route 32 and its Pokémon Center, the Ruins of Alph with the four
chambers, item and word rooms, inner chamber and research center, Union
Cave, Route 33, Azalea Town with Kurt's house, the kiln and Bugsy's gym,
the Slowpoke Well, Ilex Forest and Route 34.

Port what their scripts need: saved WRAM bytes by label (readmem,
writemem, loadmem: wFarfetchdPosition, wKurtApricornQuantity),
VAR_UNOWNCOUNT and VAR_KURT_APRICORNS, SelectApricornForKurt and
verbosegiveitemvar, Unown letters (GetUnownLetter, per-letter pictures,
CheckUnownLetter's redraw, UpdateUnownDex, wFirstUnownSeen), the chamber
puzzles (_UnownPuzzle), DisplayUnownWords, HoOhChamber and
OmanyteChamber.

Minigames and specials that draw a whole screen in tiles now share a
tile screen effect with ROM graphics, palettes and sprites, answered
with buttons; the standard font and textbox frame load for them.

The playthrough continues through Kurt's Slowpoke Well, Bugsy, the rival
and the Farfetch'd to the Route 34 gate; its helpers move to
tests/playthrough-driver.ts. New tests solve the Kabuto puzzle through
the world, catch Unown and make Kurt's balls.

A manifest and icons rendered from icon.svg make the app installable.
The native build emits a service worker that precaches exactly the

reach its cache. New versions wait for the player's Update, which saves

persistent storage, and a full disk gets its own save error.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 73022b1505 Add the TM/HM pocket, Egg screens and Violet's remaining scripts
Checks / web (push) Canceled after 0s
The pack's TM/HM pocket lists TMs and HMs with their moves, gives TMs and teaches either through the ABLE/NOT ABLE party menu, the compatibility and "already knows" checks and LearnMove; a TM is used up and makes the Pokémon happier. Eggs show no level or HP in the party menus, get the Egg stats page with its hatching hint, and are skipped by HealParty. Bug Catcher Wade's number registers (VAR_CALLERID and RandomPhoneMon).

The playthrough now runs through Falkner's ZEPHYRBADGE, the Togepi Egg, Kyle's Onix, Flash in Dark Cave, Wade's number and Earl's blackboard. With MAKE_TEST_SAVES it writes a Violet City backup for the manual checks.

Validated with 610 unit tests, 157 browser tests (including all 256 badge bytes against the original BadgeStatBoosts), native/reference builds and reference/vendor/release checks. Egg hatching (#29) and trainer calls (#30) remain on their cards.

Port the script commands they use: gettrainername, askforphonenumber (with AddPhoneNumber's room for Mom and Elm; addcellnum now reports failure as the original does), checkpokemail, loadmenu/_2dmenu/closewindow, giveegg and trade (NPCTrade, with wTradeFlags saved).

Eggs keep their species with an egg flag, as wPartySpecies does. The pack's TM/HM counts receive, check and toss TMs and HMs, which are named TM01-HM07.

The playthrough continues through Route 31 (with Mom's call), Violet City and Sprout Tower to Elder Li's Flash.

Run the forced-shiny, trap, forced-item, Celebi, Suicune, roaming and Bug-Catching Contest battle types. Roaming battles keep their struct's DVs and HP byte, and every other battle makes CleanUpBattleRAM's roaming roll. The contest shows PARKBALL×, counts down Park Balls, ends when they run out, keeps its catch outside the party and asks before switching. Scripts load the special types with loadvar, and while a contest runs, encounters use BugCatchingContestBattleScript and ContestMons.

Validated with 596 unit tests, 155 browser tests (including the contest menu and switch screen), native/reference builds and reference/vendor/release checks. National Park's contest event, the roaming release and the Ilex Forest Celebi event come with their maps.

Multi-hit moves loop back to the script's critical command as EndLoop
does, with its hit-count draws, Triple Kick's growing kicks and Beat Up's
party members, and say "Hit n times!" from the borrowed high byte of the
user's damage taken. ConstantDamage covers Seismic Toss, Night Shade,
Sonicboom, Dragon Rage, Psywave, Super Fang and Flail/Reversal.

One-hit KO moves, Counter, Mirror Coat, False Swipe, Magnitude, Present,
Hidden Power, Return, Frustration, Selfdestruct, Dream Eater, Thief, Pay
Day, freezing, Tri Attack, added confusion, Swagger, thawing by fire
moves, Jump Kick's crash and Minimize with Stomp now run. Pay Day's coins
are paid after a win, and the Amulet Coin is checked at every send-out.
A Focus Band now also holds on at 1 HP.

The original's arithmetic commands are compared with the native ones in
the reference emulator on shared states and random streams.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 397dcef44c Port the fishing rods and wild Magikarp
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.

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

grass, then TreeMonEncounter scores the facing tile against the trainer ID

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

  and Elixers, X items, X Accuracy, Guard Spec, Dire Hit and Poké Doll.
- Read happiness changes from HappinessChanges, including the larger
  level-up gain where a Pokémon was caught.
- Model hBattleTurn at the battle menu, including the trainer AI's writes,
  and drop the status-heal refusal.
- Port the stats screen for battles and Bill's PC.
- Compare the send-out and withdraw texts, RestoreHealth, RestorePP,
  ChangeHappiness and CalcPlayerStats with the original routines.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 f8e0f9c65a Finish the opening milestone's switching, items and acceptance run
- Decode evolution lists from the ROM; all 251 match the pinned PRET source.
- Compare CalcMonStats and CalcExpAtLevel against the original routines in
  the reference emulator.
- Add a continuous opening playthrough from the intro to the catching
  tutorial, reloading a JSON save after every stage.
- Port player switching in battle: the PKMN menu, forced choices after a
  faint, Shift mode's offer and double faints, with the original texts.
- Port HP and status healing items in battle through the ROM's ItemEffects,
  HealingHPAmounts and StatusHealingActions tables.
- Add the battle party menu and the Items pocket to the UI.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 b13fd20be4 Port the introduction's naming and clock screens
Checks / web (push) Canceled after 0s
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.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 3bdca0099e Port the PC and boxes
Checks / web (push) Canceled after 0s
Read TileCollisionStdScripts from the ROM so the Pokémon Center PC runs
PokemonCenterPC: Bill's PC (deposit, withdraw, release, change and name
boxes), the player's item storage (withdraw, deposit, toss, mail box) and
Oak's Pokédex rating. The house PC now opens the full player's PC menu.

A catch with a full party goes to the current box through SendMonIntoBox;
a full box keeps the ball, and filling it queues Bill's call as a memory
script after the battle. Saves gain boxes, box names and PC items,
migrated by absence.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 451464f7c6 Complete the overworld foundation
Checks / web (push) Canceled after 0s
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.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 9ac111f262 Port capture and the Route 29 catching tutorial
Checks / web (push) Canceled after 0s
Checks / web (pull_request) Canceled after 0s
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.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 dc10343520 Open Mr. Pokémon's house, the first rival battle and the return to Elm
Checks / web (push) Canceled after 0s
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.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 e00dfab42e Open Route 30 with map trainers and multi-Pokémon trainer battles
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.

Sébastien QUEROLandClaude Opus 5.5 0d1bedb3b1 Translate Opportunist, Aggressive and Risky trainer AI
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.

- 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.
