Five messages in the Gen 2 battle code are written by hand rather than taken
from data/text/battle.asm, and each has drifted from what the game prints:
SuperEffectiveText lost its hyphen and its line break
NotVeryEffectiveText ended on three periods, not the
ellipsis glyph the charmap carries
BattleText_TheresNoPPLeftForThisMove dropped "There's"
PlayerHitTimesText/EnemyHitTimesText printed "Hit 3 time(s)!", showing
the parenthetical on screen; Gen 1
already prints "Hit 3 times!" via
_HitXTimesText
StartPerishText printed a sentence no cart prints
The break is \n, which is what RomExtractorGen2 decodes the cart's own $4e
into, so these read as an extracted line would. Each goes through Strings
now, which is what the rest of this file already does with its messages.
SpikesText is left alone and the reason is written down beside it: its third
row is a `cont`, and engine messages set self.message directly rather than
going through showPages, so printMessage would cut the row carrying <TARGET>.
