- Always supply Gen 2 battle random (BattleRandom) and Gen 1 / love-style rng.
- Add EFFECT_STATIC_DAMAGE for Sonic Boom and Dragon Rage (move power; Ghost
immunity via resettypematchup for static damage only).
- Keep Magnitude rolling via BattleRandom instead of collapsing to Magnitude 4.
- Cover RNG, static damage, and Magnitude in gen2 battle tests.
Confirmed against pokeyellow's engine/battle/core.asm: the Viridian
old man's demo and Oak's Pikachu catch share the same canned
one-item bag (SimulatedInputBattleItemList), quantity 1 -- pokered's
equivalent (OldManItemList, old man only, no Pikachu battle type) is
quantity 50. The port hardcoded x50 for both versions.
GameSpeed is a single fast-forward multiplier applied uniformly to the
whole logic clock -- overworld walking, menu navigation and battle turns
all scale together. A player who wants 4X battles but 1X overworld (so a
cutscene or NPC dialogue doesn't blur past) has no way to get both.
Splits save.options.speed into speedOverworld/speedBattle/speedMenu, each
cycling independently, with an automatic migration so an existing save's
speed choice carries over. Game.speedCategoryInStack resolves which
category is active by walking the state stack (the same idiom
wideBattleInStack/fillScaleInStack already use), so a menu opened mid-
battle inherits battle speed rather than resetting to whatever "menu"
defaults to. Adds a new core.logic_speed hook so a mod can read or
override the resolved multiplier for the current frame regardless of
which category produced it, sitting after the link-play and run-argument
overrides so neither is a seam a mod can defeat.
RFC 0007 status: Proposed.
Wrap the battle stat box, the PC quantity footer and the dex metric
labels in Strings() (SummaryMenu -- and MoveEffects since #811 --
already do this); give the battle menu a 'battle' lookup context so a
translation can shorten FIGHT/ITEM/RUN independently of the pause menu;
align the metric dex rows with the imperial ones and make the No.
prefix translatable; make the title menu's recolor zone follow Menu's
auto-grown width; honor the declared-but-unread boot.title seam,
drawing an explicit versionRibbon as one centered piece. With an empty
catalog every path is pixel-identical to vanilla.
trainers.battleTheme validated and merged onto the trainer record but was
never read: battle music came solely from data.audio.battle[kind] where
kind is computeMusicKind()'s final/gym/trainer/wild. Route both battle-
theme start sites through a single choke point:
- BattleState:playBattleTheme() cues Music.playBattle with the override
(self.trainer.battleTheme via battleTheme()), defaulting to the kind
when unset, so vanilla fights and #782's non-gym Giovanni are unchanged.
- BattleState:enter() and OverworldController:pushBattle() both call it.
- Music.playBattle gains an optional 4th song arg that overrides the kind
default, and real call sites now populate the music.select trainerId.
- Victory jingles stay kind-based: a custom battle theme has no derivable
win-variant.
New ROM-free T2 suite tests/engine/trainer_battle_theme_bug945.lua covers
mod load, override resolution, the choke point, and the nil-override
parity gate.

In pokered, MainInBattleLoop calls HandlePoisonBurnLeechSeed right
after every Execute*Move (core.asm:426-464), so a seeded, poisoned or
burned mon takes its residual before the slower side acts. The port
ran the whole sweep in endOfTurn, which made leech seed behave like
Gen 3+ and never showed the drain animation (#784).
The residual sweep now runs per action under the gen1_faithful
ruleset, gated by a new residualAfterMove flag; modern_clean keeps
the end of round sweep. The leech seed drain plays the ABSORB
animation from the healing side, the way the original flips
hWhoseTurn before PlayMoveAnimation. Item, ball, failed run and
ghost-fear turns still tick the player's residual, matching
ExecutePlayerMoveDone.
pokered plays no 'pitched-down faint cry': the player mon's faint is its
ordinary species cry (RemoveFaintedPlayerMon -> PlayCry) with no
Faint_Fall, and the enemy faint plays no species cry at all -- trainer
battles get SFX_FAINT_FALL then SFX_FAINT_THUD, wild battles go straight
to the victory music (FaintEnemyPokemon core.asm:732-796).
The port played the species cry AND Faint_Fall on every faint, so a
fainted enemy sounded its full battle cry and a fainted player mon got
the fall whistle the hardware never plays.
BattleState.onFaint now:
- player: Sound.playCry only
- enemy trainer: Faint_Fall then Faint_Thud (after the slide)
- enemy wild: no faint sfx (victory music already queued)
Adds tests/parity_faint_cry_bug709.lua asserting the per-side sequence.
Fixes#709
The faint slide was shortened from 30 to Timing.FAINT_SLIDE (14) frames
in the timing-parity pass, but fxFaintOffset still computed the offset
with a stale (30 - frames) * 2. With frames starting at 14 the sprite
teleported 32px down on the first frame and only slid the remaining
28px, cutting the animation short.
SlideDownFaintedMonPic drops the pic one 8px row per 2-frame step, so
the offset advances Timing.FAINT_SLIDE_STEP (4px) per frame at 1x and
covers the full 56px PIC_HEIGHT over the 14-frame budget.
The trainer intro was the only enemy send-out path that never set
enemySendingOut, so the front sprite drew at full size the moment the
trainer pic walked off, held through "X sent out Y!", and the grow-in
then played over a mon that had already arrived. Set it with the pic
teardown and clear it with startGrowIn, matching the mid-battle
replacement and the player's own send-out.
Also repairs two parity suites that could not load at all: their game
stubs lacked input.isDown, which battle text has read every frame since
typing started honouring PrintLetterDelay. intro_chrome additionally
pressed A inside PromptText's ProtectedDelay3 hold, which ignores the
button for TEXT_PRE_ADVANCE frames.
