Why a person: needs a real iPhone (Safari) and a real Android phone (Chrome). Part of #40, which covers whole-app acceptance on these devices.

Setup (on a machine with the ROM)

MAKE_TEST_SAVES=1 npx vitest run tests/human-test-saves.test.ts writes test-saves/field-items.crystal-save.json.
npm run dev, load the ROM, then Savegames → Import native backup → that file, then Play.

The save stands on New Bark Town's shore facing right, at the sea, with CYNDAQUIL (L8) and PIDGEY (L4). The pack holds 5 POTION, 2 FLOWER MAIL and a REPEL; the Key Items pocket holds the BICYCLE and the OLD, GOOD and SUPER ROD.

Steps and expected results

Start → PACK. With the on-screen D-pad, highlight POTION, then press the on-screen SELECT: "Where should this be moved to?" appears above the list and POTION is marked with ▷. The pocket tabs other than ITEMS can't be tapped meanwhile.
D-pad down twice to REPEL, then SELECT (or A): POTION moves below REPEL and the mark disappears. B during a move cancels it without leaving the pack.
Tap FLOWER MAIL → GIVE → CYNDAQUIL: "Made CYNDAQUIL hold FLOWER MAIL.", then two text fields for the message. The phone's keyboard opens on the first one; each field takes 16 characters; both fit on the screen without scrolling sideways. Type two lines and tap OK.
Start → POKéMON → CYNDAQUIL shows MAIL instead of ITEM. MAIL → READ shows a letter with FLOWER MAIL, your two lines and CHRIS. It fits the screen in portrait and landscape; Close and the B button both close it.
MAIL → TAKE → YES: "The MAIL was sent to your PC." Then at a Pokémon Center PC → CHRIS's PC → MAIL BOX lists CHRIS; READ MAIL, PUT IN PACK and ATTACH MAIL work by tapping.
Start → POKéMON → CYNDAQUIL → MOVE, then the on-screen D-pad left and right switch between CYNDAQUIL's and PIDGEY's moves; while a move is being moved ("Where?"), left and right do nothing.
Fishing with the on-screen buttons works, and the rod's frames are visible on the phone's screen.

Known difference, don't report it: the letter is a plain native panel; the original's decorated stationery isn't drawn yet.

Report: tick each line that matches; for anything else, add a comment with a screenshot or a short video and what you expected.
