thibautbus abe176b26c Fix a crash releasing your own caught Pikachu in Yellow
BoxMenu.lua's release() pushes both its "Once released...OK?" prompt
and its Yellow-only "Pikachu looks unhappy" message through
TextBox.new(game, (t._X or Strings(...)):gsub(...)) -- gsub returns
two values (the text and a substitution count), and since the gsub
call is the last argument in the TextBox.new(...) call with nothing
after it, Lua expands both into the call: the count lands in
TextBox.new's third parameter, onDone. TextBox.lua later calls
onDone() once the box is dismissed; a number is not callable, so
every release of your own caught Pikachu in Yellow crashed --
regardless of its nickname (unlike the separate %-escape gsub bug,
this one needs no special save content, ordinary play reaches it
every time).

Fixed by wrapping the gsub call in an extra pair of parens, which
truncates it to its first return value only -- the same fix already
applied to the neighboring _OnceReleasedText/_MonWasReleasedText
lines on the (separate, unmerged) fix/route-more-messages-through-romtext
branch, where this exact bug shape was first noticed while adding a
third callsite with the same pattern.

tests/engine/pikachu_unhappy_release_crash.lua: registers a fake
Data.pokemon.PIKACHU cloned from the fixture species (ROM-free) so
the species == "PIKACHU" check can be exercised, drives the real
interactive release flow in Yellow on a mon owned by the player, and
confirms the crash. Verified failing pre-fix (exact same
"attempt to call field 'onDone' (a number value)" error) and passing
post-fix.

thibautbus 085180992d Cover the status abbreviation translation fix with a targeted test
Neither tests/parity_status_true_color.lua (SGB recolor rectangle) nor
tests/parity_party_icon_mirror.lua (icon mirroring) check the drawn
status text, so this fix had no coverage. Drive SummaryMenu:draw() and
PartyMenu:draw() with a mod-patched statuses registry and check the
patched label reaches Font.draw instead of the raw status id, plus a
vanilla case confirming the no-mod fallback is unchanged.

Also cover the hudLabel-shadowing bug directly through the real
Registry:patch (not a hand-built table): a label-only patch, the exact
shape a translation mod would send, must reach Status.hudLabelFor for
all five vanilla ids. Confirmed both regressions: reverting
src/ui/*.lua and src/battle/*.lua to dev's pre-fix content fails 2 of
the draw-site checks; reverting only the vanilla hudLabel removal in
Status.lua fails the 3 checks whose French label differs from English
(FRZ/BRN/SLP).

thibautbus 9984958193 Translate the status abbreviations shown outside battle
src/ui/SummaryMenu.lua:148 and src/ui/PartyMenu.lua:824 drew mon.status
(PSN/PAR/BRN/FRZ/SLP) as a bare literal, bypassing translation. Unlike
plain text, a mod translates status labels through the statuses content
registry (mod.content.statuses:patch(id, { label = value }), the same
registry src/battle/BattleState.lua:statusLabel already reads in battle.
Route both screens through the same lookup, extracted as
Status.hudLabelFor(statuses, id) and shared with BattleState:statusLabel
so the hudLabel-or-label fallback rule lives in one place, with the raw
status id kept as the fallback when no record overrides it.

Found along the way: Status.RECORDS' five vanilla entries duplicated
hudLabel = label ("FRZ", hudLabel = "FRZ", ...) for no functional
reason. Since hudLabelFor reads hudLabel before label, and
Registry:patch only overrides fields a mod actually passes, a
translation mod's label-only patch (the natural shape for a status
catalog carrying one string per id, with no separate hudLabel data to
patch) was silently shadowed by the untouched vanilla hudLabel -- the
translation was stored but never displayed, in or out of battle. This
affected BattleState:statusLabel too, before this change and
independently of it. Dropped the redundant hudLabel field from all
five vanilla records: it's declared optional in the schema, and
nothing in this codebase ever gives it a value different from label --
setting it here only recreated the shadowing trap for no observed
benefit. Left a comment above Status.RECORDS warning against
re-adding it.

1jamie def967a8f8 fix(render): replace per-entity grass overdraw with full-screen cell pass
The previous drawCellBottom calls fired only for cells containing a
tracked entity.  While walking this worked acceptably because the
sprite's sub-pixel tween kept the visual overlap plausible, but while
standing still the sprite is pixel-aligned with the cell and the opaque
leaf-edge pixels in the grass bottom row paint over the player's feet.

This change removes the per-entity isGrassCell checks and replaces them
with a single post-sprite pass that overdraws every visible grass cell.

TileRenderer:
- ensureWindow now builds grassCells (all paths) and grassBatch (DMG/SGB
  shader path) alongside winBatch during the existing tile scan loop.
  A grassSeen table deduplicates cells so each cx/cy pair is only
  recorded once despite having two bottom-row tiles.
- drawGrassOverdraw: DMG/SGB draws the grassBatch under color0KeyShader
  in one call; GBC iterates grassCells and calls drawCellBottomRaw per
  cell (pre-keyed images can't share a SpriteBatch).
- markGrassOverdrawRedraw: iterates grassCells and calls
  markCellBottomRedraw for the post-zone OBP-replay pass (GBC only).
- releaseBatches cleans up grassBatch and grassCells.

OverworldController (flat path):
- Entity loop draws sprites only; grass overdraw fires once after the
  loop via drawGrassOverdraw + markGrassOverdrawRedraw.

OverworldController (tilt path):
- Grass cells are injected into the billboard sort queue keyed on the
  world-pixel foot of each cell's bottom tile row (cy*16+16), so they
  depth-sort correctly against entities at different y positions.  Each
  grass cell billboards via drawCellBottomRaw inside the upright pass.

Fixes: standing-in-tall-grass feet overdraw (Gen 2 confirmed, Gen 1
improved); NPCs and Pikachu follower in grass benefit automatically.
Parity test: tests/parity_grass_seam.lua 10/10, engine 228/228.

Shane McGovern b739fa76c0 mods: gate love.thread behind a compute permission
Threads open a fresh Lua state with a full standard library, so they
stayed blocked wholesale. PotatoVoxel's prebuilder wants to run its
pure geometry phase on worker threads; the mod declares the new
"compute" permission and the sandbox hands out love.thread only
then. The worker runs the mod's own source (source-only, like every
mod file) and receives data only through channels.

Shane McGovern 0b00faf38e feat(android): add httpPost bridge for mod.postLog log sends
Android ships no curl and the JNI bridge was GET-only, so mod.postLog
failed there with 'no POST transport on this platform' (HostShell.lua).
Add the mirror of httpDownload: GameActivity.httpPost (https-only,
hand-followed redirects re-POSTing the body, one-way), the JNI bridge
with the same old-APK-skew tolerance, the love.system.httpPost binding,
and the HostShell arm that rides it when curl is absent. The body
crosses the JNI as raw bytes (jbyteArray) so a log ring with arbitrary
UTF-8 cannot corrupt through modified-UTF-8 jstring conversion.

thibautbus b20b1370ab Reset ManagerState's draw color after Font.drawBox
Font.drawBox leaves the caller's color at white; every other screen
resets to black right after calling it, but ManagerState.lua's draw()
and drawOverlay() never did. That's invisible on the vanilla tile font
(tile glyphs are black-on-transparent regardless of color) but renders
fully invisible white-on-white text once a mod's TTF font is active.

thibautbus 467566c799 Cover Gold's Light Screen / Reflect fix in the same test
The targeted test only covered the RBY side (ItemEffects.lua,
TrainerAI.lua); src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua's EFFECT_LIGHT_SCREEN/
EFFECT_REFLECT fix had no test at all, spotted when asked whether the
Gold changes were covered.

Adds a minimal MACHOP/TACKLE gen2 fixture (same shape as
tests/gen2_move_effects_test.lua's), calls both MOVE_EFFECTS directly,
and checks a loaded catalog reaches the whole message template (Gold
wraps the full sentence, not just the stat name). Confirmed it catches
the regression: reverting Battle.lua to its pre-fix state fails 2 of
the suite's now 8 checks.

thibautbus d6ddf23f97 Add targeted coverage for the stat-rise message translation fix
No existing test could tell a translated stat name apart from a raw
stat:upper() that never went through Strings() at all: every rose!
message assertion in the suite runs with no catalog loaded, where
Strings() is an identity function either way.

Loads a real catalog (Strings.load) that translates one stat name at a
time and checks it actually reaches the X-item, vitamin, and AI-trainer
X-item messages -- ROM-free, over tests/fixture_data. Confirmed this
catches the regression: reverting src/inventory/ItemEffects.lua and
src/battle/TrainerAI.lua to their pre-fix state fails 5 of 6 checks.

thibautbus 9423337bcc Make the rose! messages' stat name harvestable by the mod catalog tool
Strings(stat:upper()) is a dynamic argument -- tools/modkit.py's
STRINGS_CALL harvester only matches a literal string right after
Strings(/Strings.source(, so it can't discover "ATTACK"/"DEFENSE"/etc.
from these call sites. Translation coverage happened to still work
only because the same literals are independently harvested from
unrelated call sites (MoveEffects.lua's STAT_LABEL, BattleState.lua's
literal Strings("ATTACK") calls) -- real but fragile, found in review.

Reuse the codebase's existing pattern for exactly this situation
(MoveEffects.lua's STAT_LABEL): a local table built at require time
with Strings.source(...), which the harvester can see, resolved to a
translated label at use time with Strings(TABLE[key]). Adds one such
table to ItemEffects.lua (covering its X-item and vitamin call sites,
including "hp") and one to TrainerAI.lua.

thibautbus c280119d03 Translate Gold's Light Screen / Reflect rose! messages
Same theme as the RBY fix, found while checking whether Gold had the
same gap: EFFECT_LIGHT_SCREEN and EFFECT_REFLECT built their "'s
SPCL.DEF/DEFENSE rose!" message by raw string concatenation, bypassing
Strings() entirely -- unlike most other messages in this file (e.g.
"%s\nused %s!" a few lines up), which already go through it.

Wrap the whole message template in Strings(), matching that existing
pattern; the substituted name still comes from monName() as before.

Gold's gen2/Battle.lua has many more messages built the same
unwrapped way (fainted!, learned..., missed!, and so on) -- that is
the much larger "Battle messages" gap already tracked separately and
deliberately left out of this change.

thibautbus 24d0c6528d Translate the stat name in RBY's X-item and vitamin rose! messages
Both the player-side and AI-trainer stat-rise messages (X ATTACK/
DEFENSE/etc. and the vitamins) passed the raised stat's name as a raw
uppercase Lua string (stat:upper()), bypassing Strings() entirely, so
it always rendered in English regardless of the active language even
though the surrounding sentence template was already translated.

Wrap the substituted stat name in Strings() at every call site
(src/inventory/ItemEffects.lua's two player-side messages and
src/battle/TrainerAI.lua's AI-trainer X-item message, found in
review), reusing the same "ATTACK"/"DEFENSE"/"SPEED"/"SPECIAL"/"HP"
keys SummaryMenu.lua's stat labels already look up the same way.

sanjinpepic 70b9def0b0 Make Mon.syncIdentity's shiny recompute monotonic
syncIdentity unconditionally recomputed mon.shiny from the mon's DVs,
overwriting whatever was there. It is wired into refreshStats, which
SummaryMenu.new calls on every menu open, so a forced shiny -- Mon.new's
opts.shiny path, DVs that do not themselves read as shiny -- got
un-shinied the moment the summary screen opened, even though opts.shiny
already wins over shiny.roll at construction for exactly this case (a
scripted shiny is the cart overriding the roll, not a roll to be
hooked).

mon.shiny now only ever gets PROMOTED by the DV check, never demoted:
`mon.shiny or Mon.isShiny(...)`. A naturally shiny mon and a plain one
are unaffected -- the DV check still runs and still decides the first
time -- and a mon whose DVs are edited to justify shininess later still
promotes normally; only an already-true shiny stops being able to flip
back to false on a later refresh.

sanjinpepic d03d2af5f8 Pass data through to ItemEffects.partyAction for Gen 2 pack items
Both call sites -- Game2:usePartyItem (the field pack) and
BattleState:useItem (the battle pack) -- asked ItemEffects.partyAction
for an item's family with no `data` argument, even though every other
call in the same functions (useOnMon, usePpItem, applyPartyItem) passed
it through correctly. partyAction resolves through recordFor, which
reads data.gen2ItemEffects when given a dataset and falls back to the
module's own built-in RECORDS table when not -- so with no data, a
mod's own item_effects record was invisible and every mod-defined Gen 2
field or battle item resolved to a nil action, falling straight through
to "isn't going to help here" / "isn't going to help here" without ever
opening the party picker.

Both now pass the live dataset (self.data on Game2, self.game.data on
the battle screen) the same way their sibling calls already did.

sanjinpepic c23f85cba9 Bind gen2Constants in the save editor's Gold bootstrap
bindGoldData points gen2Palettes, gen2Icons, gen2Pokedex, gen2Landmarks,
gen2Roofs and gen2Sprites at the extractor's own Gold tables through
loadGen, but never gen2Constants -- despite Schemas.GEN2 routing
`constants` to that same namespaced-and-differently-shaped category
palettes and icons are in. A save editor boot left data.gen2Constants
unset, so mod.content.constants:get(...) read an empty table instead
of the cart's ordered name lists, misreading the generation and
rejecting every record a mod shaped off it.

data.gen2Constants now goes through the same loadGen("constants") path
the other five already use, falling back the same way they do when no
ROM cache is active.

sanjinpepic 455ff21aff Validate a map object's pokemon field against the pokemon registry
R.maps.objects was f.opt(f.list(f.any)): a static wild encounter's
species (OverworldController.lua's d.pokemon, handed straight to
BattleState.newWild) went completely unchecked at load time, unlike an
encounter slot's species. A typo'd or removed id sat in a loaded mod
and only surfaced as a crash the moment a player reached that object.

Objects share one array across every kind -- NPCs, signs, warps and
static encounters all coexist with no field the loader could use to
tell them apart ahead of time -- so a strict f.rec covering the whole
shape would reject every kind this schema does not enumerate. Added
f.partial, an open counterpart to f.rec: it type-checks (and, through
collectRefs, cross-reference-checks) only the fields it is given and
leaves everything else on the value alone, the same extensibility
f.rec already grants at a record's top level but nowhere further in.
R.maps.objects now types just `pokemon` through it, so a bad species
id is a load-time "unresolved reference" error instead of a runtime
crash, while an NPC object's sprite/movement/range/... fields -- never
named in this schema -- still pass through untouched.
2026-08-16 22:48:33 +02:00
sanjinpepic 2da2168dac Refuse a TM/HM on a species with no tmhm list instead of crashing
ItemEffects.use walked speciesDef.tmhm with a bare ipairs() to check
whether the species could learn the machine's move. A record with no
tmhm field at all -- a mod species that never set one, or any record
missing it for whatever reason -- hit ipairs(nil) and took the whole
game down on the first TM/HM use, rather than reaching the ordinary
"can't learn that move" refusal a species whose list simply omits the
move already gets.

An absent list now reads the same as an empty one: nothing to learn,
same refusal, same sound, same text.
2026-08-16 22:48:33 +02:00
sanjinpepic f62b1268c8 Add an item.use hook around BagMenu's item-use dispatch
useOn was a plain Lua local: every result ItemEffects.use returned fell
through to one unconditional showMessages with no seam a mod could
reach, unlike menu.lua/boxmark.lua/formview.lua's screens, which wrap
their own default behavior as a table field or a Runtime hook. A mod
could not suppress a message, delay it behind a screen of its own, or
substitute a different outcome for one item id -- exactly the gap noted
against Ultra Burst's item-driven fusion, which had nowhere left to
attach a bespoke animation once TextBox.new turned out to be the only
other reachable seam.

This wraps the whole dispatch in a Runtime.call("item.use", ...) hook,
the same mechanism "battle.overlay", "ui.party.submenu" and the rest of
src/ui already use, rather than exporting BagMenu.useOn as a table
field. A hook is the smaller commitment: it is additive (a fresh
Runtime.call site needs no schema or manifest change and costs nothing
unsubscribed -- see tests/engine/gate_hooks.lua's null-object case) and
a mod can still run the vanilla flow unchanged by calling the handed-in
vanilla function, whereas a table field would fix useOn's exact
signature as public API the moment it shipped. If the maintainer would
rather match the sibling screens' convention directly, exporting
BagMenu.useOn is the alternative and does not conflict with this hook
existing alongside it.

vanillaUseOn keeps the original function body; useOn is now the thin
wrapper mods observe through, and every internal caller in this file
still goes through useOn so the hook fires on every path into it.

sanjinpepic 82ae667611 Update the crossValidate comment for growth_rates / evolution_methods
The comment above the gatedFor skip in Schemas.crossValidate still
described growth_rates and evolution_methods as unconfirmable Gen 2
namespaces, the way they were before each got a real Gen 2 id space:
growth_rates keeps its Gen 1 target and is seeded from the extractor's
data.pokemon.growthRates (src/battle/gen2/Mon.lua), and
evolution_methods routes to gen2EvolutionMethods, a fixed literal set
(src/core/gen2/Evolution.lua) that exists with or without a ROM
import. Schemas.GEN2 does not gate either name -- gate_gen2_mod_api.lua
pins that directly, including a case that a bad evolution method on a
Gold species is still caught -- so the two are validated like any other
reference today, not skipped.  Nothing here changes that behavior;
only the comment, which was describing an earlier state of the code,
is corrected.

sanjinpepic 2b5229e73f Deny require("jit.util") in the mod sandbox
DENIED_PREFIX blocked love.* and ffi.* submodule requires but had no
entry for jit, so require("jit.util") walked straight through to the
real module.  jit.util is LuaJIT's own equivalent of the debug library
this file already denies by name: funcbc, funck and the rest read the
bytecode and constants of any function a chunk can reach, which is
enough to recover upvalues -- the real _G, love, io -- that the sandbox
exists to keep out of a mod's hands.

Adding "jit" to DENIED_PREFIX blocks jit.* submodule requires the same
way love.* and ffi.* already are, while leaving the bare jit global
(env.jit, handed over directly for jit.on/off/flush) and a bare
require("jit") untouched -- jit.util is not a field of that table
without its own require, so neither route was ever a way to reach it.

sanjinpepic 881670db91 Clear drainHold once the HP-bar drain actually finishes
stepHPDrain counts drainHold down to 0 as the last step of every phase
(pixel slide, HP-number step, closing frames) but never let go of the
field afterward, so it sat at 0 -- not nil -- for the rest of the
battle.  BattleSafety.inspect uses drainHold ~= nil as its
settled-presentation gate for checkpoint capture, so the very first HP
change in a battle permanently refused every checkpoint after it with
battle_phase_busy, even once the bar had long since caught up.

Only nil the field when the whole drain is actually over (bar pixel,
HP number and the closing-frame hold all settled), not on every
mid-sequence 0 -- a fresh HP change still needs drainHold to read as
busy so BattleSafety keeps refusing captures until that one settles
too.

thibautbus 70f7d5c028 Translate the clock-setting screens' day names and time-of-day word
DAYS (SUNDAY..SATURDAY), the MORN/DAY/NITE word PrintHour prints, and the
"o'clock"/"min." suffixes bypassed src/core/Strings.lua entirely -- they
were plain Lua literals with no lookup, so a translation mod's `strings`
registry had nothing to catch and Oak's clock screens, the day-of-week
wheel, the main menu clock box and the Pokegear's clock card kept printing
English regardless of the loaded language (reported from a real Spanish
Gold build).

Both live in src/core/gen2/Clock.lua, which already owns weekday/hour
arithmetic and is already required by InitClock.lua, MainMenu.lua and
Pokegear.lua: Clock.DAY_NAMES + Clock.weekdayName(day) is the one place the
three screens read a weekday's name from, so a fix to it cannot land on one
screen and silently miss the other two. Clock.daytimeLabel(hour) is the
translated counterpart to Palettes.clockDaytime, which keeps answering the
untranslated MORN/DAY/NITE key every FORCED_DAYTIME lookup in Palettes.lua
compares against -- src/world/gen2/Palettes.lua itself is untouched, so
that module stays pure table/color math with no Strings coupling.

2026-08-15 23:10:59 -04:00
Shane McGovern 39df5bdfa6 Raise postLog body ceiling to 512 KiB
A diagnostic ring (boot evidence + recent lines + status) routinely exceeds 64 KiB on a long session: a 651-line evidence ring measured ~90 KB and was rejected with "log body too large" (mod.postLog returned nil and the send was dropped).

The transport stages the body to a file and streams it via curl, so the ceiling is a budget, not a memory spike. 512 KiB is generous for real support logs while staying far under the 5 MiB the reference loghook endpoint accepts.

Shane McGovern 4b7a4daf2c HostShell: stage postLog bodies via OS temp env, not tmpnam
tmpnam() on the Windows CRT returns a bare, CWD-relative name (e.g. \sb4c.2), and io.open on it fails with Permission denied when the game's working directory is not writable -- a Program Files (or otherwise protected) install. postLog then dies before curl runs: the mod reports a send failure and no bytes leave the machine (confirmed on a Windows install: "could not create request body: \sb4c.2: Permission denied").

Stage the request body under the OS temp contract instead: TEMP/TMP on Windows (always set, always per-user writable), TMPDIR with a /tmp fallback on POSIX. The transport stays on plain io/os -- no love.filesystem dependency.

Tests updated to mock os.getenv and assert the staged path sits under the temp dir; 10/10 checks pass.

Solidus Snake 18d61779eb Hang gen1tls on love.system and forward tls* through LegacyCompat.
We already ship the DLL, but mods can't ffi-load it under the sandbox, and
the compat love.system shim wasn't passing tls* through either. So wss://
still died on stock builds. Engine loads the dialer at boot; compat forwards
those keys; clipboard/openURL stay stubbed.

- Auto-recover save slots: Scan saves/<version>/ on boot to re-index orphaned slot files if options.lua is reset or loses its slot registry.
- Fix Gen 2 field moves: Make PartyMenu field actions (Strength, Surf, Cut, Flash) generation-aware so they execute safely in Gold.
- Fortify platform stability: Guard native controller/hidapi init against Android 14 receiver exceptions and ensure safe Windows file replacement.
- Add unit test coverage for slot auto-recovery in save_editor_gen2_tests.lua.

mleo2003 5192106730 launcher: pad cursor edge-scroll for stickless handhelds
The launcher's SHORT-WINDOW SCROLL engages correctly on a 480px-tall
panel, but _pageScroll has only three inputs -- mouse wheel, touch drag,
and the right analog stick -- and a device with none of them cannot
reach anything below the fold. On an RG35XXSP (muOS, 640x480)
/proc/bus/input/devices lists one gpio-keys-polled device reporting the
D-pad as a hat: no analog axes exist. There is also no scroll-to-focus
anywhere, so moving the pad cursor never touches _pageScroll.

The pad cursor already computes the motion: it is clamped to the safe
area and discarded. Spend that overshoot on the existing wheel path
instead -- the same one the right stick feeds a few lines below.

Only the overshoot scrolls, so parking the cursor at the edge does
nothing; it has to be actively pushed. The enclosing block runs only on
non-zero pad input, so a real mouse never reaches it and desktop
behaviour is unchanged.

Tested on an RG35XXSP at stock Kit.lua scale (0.9): the pager and footer
become reachable, pushing up at the top scrolls back, and parking at the
edge does nothing. Refs #1142.

ShaneMcGovernIE 1586aec9f6 fix(gen2): sell TMs at Poké Marts instead of opening the teach party
Selecting a TM in the mart's SELL pack (and the item PC's DEPOSIT pack) opened the teach-party screen: PackMenu:useSelected taught any item carrying `teaches`, even when the pack was built as a chooser (DepositSellPack, world = {}). On the cart that chooser's jumptable is four ScrollingMenus and never reaches tmhm.asm, so the row must hand back to the caller instead.

Gate the teach and field-NOUSE branches behind world.useFieldItem so only the real field PACK teaches; choosers now hand TMs to onChoose. Selling then prices a TM at half its ItemAttributes price -- exactly half of what the Goldenrod/Celadon TM shelves charge, and half of the hidden price for the rest, the way SelectQuantityToSell -> GetItemPrice -> Sell_HalvePrice does on the cart.

Closes #1243

Myles Resnick bde606f966 Permission-gated step bridge for sandboxed mods
The sandbox blocks love.system and love.filesystem, which orphans the
native step bridge (#452, #489): its one consumer can no longer call
syncHealthSteps or read steps_pending.json (#1186).

Adds a "steps" manifest permission (shown to the player like the
others) gating a mod.steps facade: available() probes the bridge
quietly, sync() forwards the async refresh, poll() hands the mod its
copy of a delivery. The engine owns the pending file -- mods never name
a path and receive only { steps, from, to }. Without the permission the
acting calls name it, following the network gate. No new events, hooks
or registries; nothing removed.

RFC 0009. Tests: tests/modkit/cases/steps_bridge.lua (no-mod cold
bridge, permissioned sync/poll, per-mod copies, contract-field
filtering, malformed-delivery drop, unpermissioned refusal, bridgeless
build).

thibautbus 96af652d3b Fix lingering title music after Resume Game
Continue dropped the player into the overworld with the title
screen's song still cross-fading into the map theme over ~1.2s
(Music.MAP_FADE), audibly wrong since the player already has control.
New Game never showed this because OakSpeech's own unfaded
Music.play/playMap masks it before the player is ever placed in the
overworld. The same bug was also reachable through F2 quickload
(pressed at the title screen, or mid-session -- F2 always jumps
straight to the loaded save's map/position with no walking
transition, so it needs the same instant swap as Continue rather than
an ordinary warp's crossfade either way) and through the
checkpoint-resume mod API (RFC 0006's mod.checkpoint:resume).

OverworldState:setMap now takes an opts.freshBoot flag: when set, the
map's music swaps in at once instead of cross-fading, like every
other map's PlayDefaultMusic. It is set by every real hard state
teleport -- TitleState's onContinue, New Game's push, F2 quickload,
and Game:restoreCheckpointSave (whose only caller is itself
title-gated) -- and deliberately kept separate from the pre-existing
opts.via == "boot" default, which dev tooling (the console's `warp`
verb, hot reload's map rebuild) also reuses for unrelated reasons and
must keep its ordinary crossfade.

thibautbus cef286b170 Add unit tests
Regression coverage for the four Yellow Pallet Town fixes on this
branch:

- tests/parity_J.lua: the old-man-style demo bag shows x1 in Yellow
  (SimulatedInputBattleItemList), not just the pre-existing x50
  (pokered's OldManItemList) case.
- tests/engine/push_battle_transition.lua: Commands.pushBattle calls
  ctx.overworld:pushBattle when available and falls back with a
  logged warning otherwise. Logger.warn is spied (pcall-safe, always
  restored) rather than read off the shared Logger.history ring
  buffer, so the fallback checks don't leave noise behind for
  whatever else runs in the same process.
- tests/parity_yellow_pallet_pikachu.lua: drives the real onStep
  closure through the real StateStack/OverworldState, with no mocked
  battle -- Red never plays Music_MuseumGuy for this escort (Blue
  shares the same code path: onStep only branches on
  GameVersion.isYellow(), never isBlue(), so a separate Blue run
  would exercise nothing new), and Yellow's hold before the Pikachu
  battle is armed for exactly 2 frames before handing off to
  BattleTransition rather than a bare stack push. Stops there rather
  than also driving the demo battle to completion just to assert
  Music_MuseumGuy fires in Yellow (that fix's own coverage): the
  extra coupling to unrelated battle menu/bag/throw frame budgets
  wasn't worth it for one more assertion. That side stays manually
  verified. scenario() restores Game/GameVersion and re-inits
  StateStack on the way out.

All three pass standalone (luajit tests/<path>). The Yellow E2E test
hits the same pre-existing "Music.playMap is nil" gap three other
map-warping parity tests already hit inside the aggregated
tests/run_tests.lua run (missing data/generated/audio.lua in this dev
environment) -- confirmed by diffing the identical error text against
parity_warp_after_warp_step.lua, which also passes clean standalone.

thibautbus cc43bd77d2 Give Oak's Pikachu catch the battle-start flash/wipe transition
story2.lua pushed the demo battle straight onto the stack, skipping
the flash + wipe that every other wild battle gets.

InitWildBattle calls DoBattleTransitionAndInitBattleVariables
unconditionally (core.asm:6699) -- there is no BATTLE_TYPE_OLD_MAN or
BATTLE_TYPE_PIKACHU special case -- so the old-man tutorial and Oak's
Pikachu catch get the wipe like any other wild battle, same as every
scripted trainer. Commands.old_man_demo already routed the Viridian
old man's tutorial catch through OverworldState:pushBattle for
exactly this reason; the fallback it used for a pushBattle-less
overworld (ctx.overworld and ctx.overworld.pushBattle then ... else
game.stack:push(battle)) was duplicated verbatim in Commands
.start_battle and would have been a third copy in story2.lua, so it's
pulled into one Commands.pushBattle(ctx, battle) helper instead, used
by all three call sites; the fallback branch now logs a warning
rather than silently dropping the transition and battle-theme start.
2026-08-11 14:01:19 +02:00
thibautbus d4dc72d0f4 Fix the old-man demo bag to show 1 Poke Ball in Yellow, 50 in Red/Blue
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.
2026-08-11 14:01:06 +02:00
thibautbus 6d841526b1 Hold two frames on Oak's turn before the Pikachu battle starts
oak.facing was set and the battle pushed in the same synchronous
callback, so the overworld never rendered a frame of Oak already
turned toward the grass before the screen cut to battle.

Traced home/overworld.asm: PalletTownOakGreetsPlayerScript (the turn)
and PalletTownPikachuBattleScript (arming wCurOpponent) are separate
script ticks, one main-loop iteration apart. OverworldLoopLessDelay
burns two DelayFrame calls per iteration, calls RunMapScript (via
JoypadOverworld) first, and only then checks wCurOpponent to jump
into the battle -- so the turn from iteration A is on screen for the
two DelayFrame calls that open iteration B, before that same
iteration's RunMapScript arms wCurOpponent and falls straight into
the battle check. hold(2, ...) restores exactly that beat.
2026-08-11 14:00:59 +02:00
thibautbus 8e48bb4e32 Play the museum-guy cue during Oak's lab walk in Yellow
Yellow's Pallet Town intro (professor catches the wild Pikachu, then
walks the player to the lab) played the map's default Pallet Town
theme the whole time instead of the dedicated escort cue. Per
pokeyellow's actual scripts: PlayDefaultMusicFadeOutCurrent (run on
every battle exit) legitimately restores Pallet Town's theme after
the Pikachu demo battle for the Whew.../Come with me lines; the
escort cue (MUSIC_MUSEUM_GUY, the same "led by an NPC" theme Pewter's
museum guide uses) only starts in PalletMovementScript_OakMoveLeft,
the first function of the escort script -- but only in pokeyellow's
copy. pokered's copy of that same shared Red/Yellow function only
sets BIT_NO_MAP_MUSIC and leaves whatever was already playing
(MUSIC_MEET_PROF_OAK) running uninterrupted into the lab.

Start Music_MuseumGuy at the top of escortToLab, gated on Yellow so
Red/Blue keeps its unchanged behavior, and fix the Oak-escort warp's
keepMusic comment to say which song rides the warp in each version.

  docs/new-features.md: dev already carries the Find Mods stats &
  sort work (in evolved async form), so take dev's versions. The
  auto-merge's duplicate blocking _findStats is dropped.
- release.yml: keep dev's split version/love-payload/linux-arm64/
  xbox-uwp job structure and re-wire the Linux ARM SBC PortMaster
  step to needs.version.outputs.version (steps.ver no longer exists).

Shane McGovern 1ef0d8c2c0 Retry Find Mods stats after failed repo fetches
A failed repo fetch (hourly GitHub API rate limit, transient network error)

still permanent so a renamed or vanished repo is fetched once.

Shane McGovern d35b9e5c3e Fix crash opening the Find Mods tab: rename the stats cache field
The resolver stored results in self._findStats, which collides with the

launcher the moment the panel built. State now lives in _findStatsCache.

Shane McGovern ee5c168983 Resolve Find Mods stats from each mod's GitHub repo when the feed lacks them
A FIND MODS row now shows download/date stats even when its feed publishes
none: the row fetches the mod's own GitHub releases through the same
cached ModUpdate.fetchReleases the MODS tab uses (six-hour options cache,
so an installed mod's repo is instant). Feed-published stats still win
when present; otherwise one repo is fetched per frame -- the thumbnail
budget pattern -- so opening the tab never stalls for the whole listing.

This tracker is for ideas that should ship as **mods**, not as core engine
features — alternate sprites, running shoes, day/night, shiny indicators,
soundtrack packs, Gen 2-like battle toggles, map cosmetics, bag QoL, etc.
The engine already exposes a lot of this through registries and hooks
([modding wiki](https://github.com/bryanthaboi/gen1recomp/wiki)).
Use a **Feature request** instead for launcher / ports / video options /
networking / save tooling / new API seams.

# AI Disclosure
This is a disclosure of the use of AI in this project.
## AI Use
Anyone who demands the dislosure of how AI was used in an engineering project,
has no idea what AI is, or how it works.
AI was used in this project as a tool. Several contributors used AI in their
commits, and so you will see like 7 commits by Claude or Codex or Cursor.
However those commits were reviewed by human beings, and it was declared that
the exact same fix would have been done by a human, so they were accepted.
AI was not used to make decisions, or to create the project.
If you would like to read more, well then continue reading:

### 5. `mod.card`
### 5. What a mod's code can reach
Your code runs in a sandbox (`src/mods/Sandbox.lua`), not against the
engine's globals. Every chunk you author gets it: `main.lua`, your
`options_schema`, and anything you `load()` yourself.
The globals the sandbox took away are still *reachable*, as compat
stand-ins (`src/mods/LegacyCompat.lua`) that answer with the new API
underneath. A mod written before the sandbox keeps working; it logs one
warning per call it should migrate, and the mod manager lists them. What
each stand-in actually does:
| Pre-sandbox call | What it does now | Migrate to |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `io.open`, `io.lines`, `love.filesystem.read`/`lines`/`newFile` | reads your own shipped files, then your overlay, then `mod.storage` | `mod:read`, `mod.storage` |
| `love.filesystem.write`/`append`, `io.open(…, "w")`, `os.remove`, `os.rename` | writes to a private per-mod overlay under `mod_compat/<your id>/` | `mod.storage` |
| `love.filesystem.getDirectoryItems`/`getInfo` | your own directory plus your overlay | `mod:list`, `mod:info` |
| `love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory` and friends | a virtual root; anything joined to it lands in your overlay | `mod.storage` |
| `os.getenv` | `nil`, except home-like names, which answer with that same virtual root | nothing |
| `love.filesystem.load`, `dofile`, `loadfile` | compiles the chunk into your sandbox | `require`, `mod:read` plus `load` |
| `love.system` | `getOS`/`getPowerInfo`/`getProcessorCount` read through; clipboard and `openURL` do nothing | `mod.device:powerInfo()`, `mod.steps` |
| `love.event` | passes through, except `quit`, which does nothing | `mod.events`, `mod.hooks` |
| `love.mousemoved = fn` and the other callbacks | installs on the real `love` table, the way it always did | `mod.hooks`, `mod.events` |
| `package` | an inert stub, so `package.path = …` does not crash | `require` |
What has no stand-in, because there is nothing honest to reroute it to:
| Still refused | Why |
| --- | --- |
| `love.thread` | a LÖVE thread is a fresh Lua state with the full standard library, which no environment-based sandbox in this state can reach. Use `mod.fetch` for background HTTP (`network`) or `mod.job` for background compute (`background`) — both run your code inside the sandbox instead of outside it |
| `require("ffi")` | arbitrary C |
| `debug`, `getfenv`, `setfenv` | each one undoes the sandbox from inside |
| `io.popen`, `os.execute` | spawning a process |
| `love.run`, `love.errorhandler` | the engine's own loop and its crash path |
| replacing a `love` module table (`love.filesystem = {}`) | the engine reads those tables too |
The rest of `love` passes through unchanged, so graphics, audio, timers and
input work as they always have.
Three consequences worth knowing before you write against it:
- **Your globals are yours.** `_G` inside a mod is that mod's own table. Two
mods no longer share a namespace, and neither can reach the engine's. To
publish something to another mod, put it on `mod.exports` and let them
`mod.find("your_id").exports` — the channel that was always the intended
one. The same goes for the standard library: `string`, `table` and `math`
are per-mod copies, so patching one is a local decision.
- **Paths cannot climb.** `mod:read`, `mod:list`, `mod:info`, `mod.assets:path`
and `mod.assets:image` join to your own directory, and `..`, absolute paths
and drive letters are refused. So are `entry` and `options_schema` in your
manifest. `mod:list("assets")` is the sandboxed `getDirectoryItems` for a
folder you shipped; `mod:info` tells file from directory so a walk can
recurse.
- **Ship source, not bytecode.** A precompiled entry file is refused.
`permissions` in the manifest is still a disclosure the manager shows the
player. `network` gates `require("socket")` and friends plus `mod.fetch`
(non-blocking HTTP), and `background` gates `mod.job` (compute on a worker
thread). Those two are the sanctioned ways to work off the main thread now
that `love.thread` is refused. There is no
permission that grants raw filesystem access, because no mod needs one:
everything a mod legitimately writes is already scoped by
`mod.storage` or the asset-transform derived root.
If your mod used one of the rerouted globals, the fix is almost always
`mod.storage`. The overlay is a compatibility floor, not a second storage
system: it is not scoped per playthrough, it does not migrate, and it is
the first thing that will be dropped once the mods on the index have
moved off it. Open an issue if you have a case `mod.storage` does not
cover.
### 6. `mod.card`

permissions, profile. The card is the *human-facing* one: who made this,
permissions, profile (see [Manifest specification](docs/modding.md#manifest-specification-manifestjson)).
The card is the *human-facing* one: who made this,
what it changes, what it does not do yet. It is never read by the loader's
merge — only by tooling and the manager's detail pane — so an absent or
malformed card can never break a load.

# Gold port: what is still open after the 2026-08-09 asm parity runs
Two multi-agent runs diffed the Gold port against the `pokegold` disassembly
(`../pokegold`) and fixed what diverged. Round 1 confirmed 51 defects across 14
paired clusters; round 2 confirmed 41 more across 13, including one crash. A
third round (2026-08-10) closed the mod-API boundary: see "The 2026-08-10
mod-API round" below for what that opened and closed.
Every tier is green at the end of all three: `run_engine` 131/131, `run_tests`
ALL TESTS PASSED, `run_modkit` 6/6, `run_save_editor_tests` 650/0,
`run_link_tests` ALL PASSED.
This file records only what is NOT done, so nobody re-derives it. It is a
working handoff doc in the shape of `KANTO-CONTINUE.md`, not user documentation.
## Do this first or none of it is visible
**Re-import the Gold cache.** Seven fixes live in the extractor and the manifest
tool, so they do nothing until the ROM is re-imported. This was verified still
outstanding on 2026-08-10: the default identity's
`gold/data/generated/menu_gfx.lua` has no `trainerPics` key at all, so a trainer
battle still opens on the mon rather than the trainer even though the Lua half
is fixed and correct.
- trainer frontpics (`TrainerPicPointers` walk in `extractMenuGfx`), which is
the missing trainer intro image at the start of a trainer battle. The Lua
side is now right and re-import is the ONLY thing left: `Trainers.lookup`
returns a numeric `class` (36) beside a `classId` (`BUG_CATCHER`), and both
`menu_gfx.trainerPics` and `palettes.trainers` are keyed by the constant, so
the lookup had to move to `classId`. On a cache that carries the pics the
frontpic renders in the class's own palette.
- egg assets: `battle/front/egg.png` and `menu/egg_hatch.png`, feeding the
hatch cutscene and the summary screen's egg page. A fallback landed in the
meantime (`ICON_EGG` frame 0, which resolves to a real 16x16 frame), so the
egg page draws SOMETHING on a stale cache; `tools/rom_manifest_gold.json`
carries `EggPic` at `[20, 31363]` and that stream decompresses to exactly 400
bytes (a 5x5-tile pic), so a fresh import takes the real path.
- the Pokegear phone icon. `_LoadFontsExtra` (`engine/gfx/load_font.asm:8-15`)
puts `FontsExtra_SolidBlackAndUpArrowGFX` at `$60`/`$61` and
`PokegearPhoneIconGFX` at `$62`, ON TOP of `FontExtra`'s BOLD_A/B/C.
`src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:342-356` reads `FontExtra` straight in and
then blits only `Frames` over `$79-$7E`, so `$62` is still a bold "C" -- which
is what the new caller box draws where the telephone glyph belongs. Fix is two
files: add the two GFX symbols to `tools/rom_manifest_gold.json`, then blit
them at `$60`/`$61`/`$62` in the loop that already handles `Frames`.
- `PREDEFPAL_UNOWN_PUZZLE = 76`, which is why the Ruins of Alph puzzle rendered
grayscale instead of brown
- the tilemap pad `0x7f -> 0x4f` in `readTilemapRLE` / `readFlatTilemap`
- held-item icons (`HeldItemIcons` in the manifest, `out.heldItem` in
`extractIcons`), which is the held-item marker in the party menu
- the NPC-trade rows' `item` field, which is what made the Violet City Onix's
Bitter Berry print as "83"
## Open: real unknowns, each needs a cache and a driver run
1. **Magnet train renders a blank field.** Pushing `World:magnetTrain` directly
shows nothing for 90+ frames (see shot `03-magnet-train.png`). The screen's
surround is correct now; what was never investigated is whether
`drawBackground` needs setup that the direct push skips. This cannot be
settled by reading source.
2. **The NPC that introduces Unown never appears.** Round 1 could not produce a
port ref that diverges from the asm, so it is filed `cannot_locate`, not
fixed. The cart chain is: solve a chamber puzzle, then
`setmapscene RUINS_OF_ALPH_INNER_CHAMBER, SCENE_RUINSOFALPHINNERCHAMBER_STRANGE_PRESENCE`
from `maps/RuinsOfAlphKabutoChamber.asm`. Walk that chain live rather than
statically: the static read came back clean twice.
3. **Two pic sites still resolve an Unown off the species.**
`src/ui/gen2/PhotoStudio.lua:102` and `src/ui/gen2/EvolutionAnim.lua:460` use
`def.spriteFront` without going through `Unown.formSprite`. For EvolutionAnim
this is almost certainly dead (Unown does not evolve). For PhotoStudio it is
genuinely unclear: the cart's `engine/events/print_photo.asm` does not call
`GetUnownLetter` at all, so the port may already match. Check before changing.
4. **Unown dex registration on obtain paths.** `engine/pokemon/evolve.asm:310`
runs `GetUnownLetter` then `callfar UpdateUnownDex` after
`SetSeenAndCaughtMon`, guarded by `cp UNOWN`. That is dex bookkeeping, not
rendering, and it was never audited across every path that gives the player a
mon. `GetUnownLetter` has 20 call sites on the cart; the port covers the pic
ones.
## The 2026-08-10 mod-API round
Six lanes closed the Gen 1 / Gen 2 mod-API boundary and a batch of reported
gameplay bugs. What that round **closed**, so nobody re-opens it:
- Fifteen seams that had a Gen 2 site but no entry in the parity gate are now
listed and asserted: the four `intro.oak_speech.*` events plus the
`intro.oak_speech.build` hook, `battle.overlay`,
`battle.low_health_alarm`, `battle.catch_exp`, `pokemon.sprite`,
`input.step`, `input.pointer`, `render.zones`, `render.compose`,
`render.letterbox`, `render.hud`. Five more (`intro.boot.*`) are listed as
Gen 2-only. `tests/engine/gate_gen2_mod_api.lua` is 893/893.
- Two registries un-gated on Gold after their consumer landed:
`battle_sprite_scales` (`src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua:imageScale`) and
`render_pipelines` (`src/core/Game2.lua:load` installs
`src/render/Pipelines.lua` on the merged dataset after `mods:load`). Both
keep the SHARED Gen 1 target, so one mod record serves both games. 40 of the
46 registries are now available on Gold.
- `hook:render.zones` came off the `gate_meta_coverage.lua` DEBT ledger, which
is now four entries, all M7/M12 link and give-mon seams.
What that round **left open**, each verified on 2026-08-10:
1. **`render_pipelines`' `drawWorld` half is inert on Gold.** Gold's overworld
draws straight to the window rather than into a canvas the way
`src/world/OverworldController.lua` hands one to `Pipelines.drawWorld`, so a
drawWorld-only pipeline renders nothing. It is not left switched on
pretending: `Game2:load` retires a restored level for one and re-applies
Tilt from the option the exclusion just cleared, leaving
`options.pipelines` untouched so the mode returns the day Gold grows a world
canvas. Related: `Pipelines.rows` is read only from
`src/ui/OptionsMenu.lua`, so a pipeline on Gold has a hotkey and no OPTION
row.
2. **`transitions` stays gated and should.** `src/ui/gen2/BattleTransition.lua`
keys `STYLES` as a boolean SET of the four cart wipes (`spin`, `speckle`,
`zoom`, `sine`), not the `{ frames, draw, sound, flash }` record the
registry carries, and there is no styleDef lookup a mod id could reach --
a registered style would fail the membership test and fall back to vanilla.
Un-gating it before that changes would be the silent no-op the routing table
exists to prevent. Same for `rulesets`, `field`, `text_pointers`,
`link_fields` and `map_scripts`; `docs/mod-api-gen2-compat.md` carries the
per-registry reason.
3. **`src/core/Game2.lua:joystickremoved` is half of Gen 1's.**
`src/core/Game.lua:867` does `self:recoverInput("joystickremoved", joystick)`
AND `TouchControls:joystickremoved()`; Game2 does only the pad half, so a
controller unplugged mid-hold leaves Gold's Input state stranded and a held
direction walks forever. It was a total noop before, so this is not a
regression -- it is a seam finished halfway. One line.
4. **`Game2` noops five joystick callbacks.** `joystickpressed`,
`joystickreleased`, `joystickaxis`, `joystickhat` and `joystickadded` are
assigned `noop`, so a stick with no SDL game-controller-database entry
reaches neither Input nor `GamepadMap.RAW_BUTTON_BINDINGS` on Gold. Gen 1
handles all four (`src/core/Game.lua:764-797`). A DualSense is
SDL-recognized and takes the gamepad path, so this is not the reported
SELECT bug -- it is the raw-stick fallback.
5. **`Game2:gamepadpressed` has no SELECT-held guard.** Gen 1
(`src/core/Game.lua:686-694`) suppresses the shoulder GAME SPEED cycle while
SELECT is held, because Select+L is a display chord on NX. Harmless today
(Gold has no display chord) but the two paths have diverged.
6. **`hideCallerBox`'s fallback path skips the screen seams.**
`src/script/gen2/CallAsm.lua:217-231` pops through `stack:pop` when the
caller box is top (which it always is on a normal call, since `PhoneRing`
runs `closetext` before `InitCallReceiveDelay`) but falls back to a bare
`table.remove(states, index)` otherwise, which raises neither `exit` nor
`screen.popped`. Only a mod screen pushed over the box can reach it, and
then a listener that saw `screen.pushed` never sees the pop.
7. **`src/core/gen2/Roamers.lua:338` says the wrong thing.** Its comment says
"the shared `encounter.species` hook still runs downstream and is where a
mod changes what appears". It does not: `World:tryWildEncounter` calls
`startBattle` on a roamer hit and RETURNS before it reaches
`World:rollEncounter`. The doc's partial-coverage list is right and the
comment is wrong; correct the comment, not the doc.
8. **`src/world/gen2/World.lua:4318` still calls the pack's SEL row something
"this port has not built".** The pack submenu now offers SEL. Stale comment.
Three partial coverages that are documented and still true, repeated here
because "the hook exists" is not "the hook sees everything":
`encounter.roll` / `encounter.species` are not wired into `World:tryHeadbutt`,
`World:rockMonEncounter` or the roamer path; `src/ui/gen2/BattleState.lua`
builds a flat `opts` for `Catching.attempt` with no `data` in it, so a
mod-registered ball is readable through `Catching.recordFor` but is not
resolved at the real throw site; and no Gen 2 UI file reads
`Battle.statusRecordFor(data, status).hudLabel`, so a mod status shows no label
in the battle HUD, the party menu or the summary page.
## Open: cleanups declined on purpose
These were skipped with reasons during the wiring pass. They are listed so the
reasons survive, not because they are pending work.
1. **`Vm:showRaw(body, stay)`** was proposed and declined. `showRawHeld` in
`Specials.lua` already answers the text lookahead correctly, so this trades
one working shape for another.
2. **`tests/drivers/gold_egg_hatch.lua` summary push** was declined as
redundant: `gold_egg_hatch_shots.lua` already photographs both the cutscene
and the summary page.
3. **Two `Battle.lua` divergences** were filed as notes by the file's own owner
rather than fixed, because no reported symptom drives either: text printed
for an already-statused target, and Future Sight taking STAB, type
effectiveness and weather. Both are real divergences from the cart. Fix them
when something actually depends on them.
## Reported, investigated, and NOT defects: do not re-chase these
Each of these came in as a bug report and came back disproved against the asm.
Re-opening one costs another full investigation, so the reasoning is kept here.
- **SFX pointer table misalignment.** The table is aligned end to end. 188 `dba`
rows with no skips or padding, 188 constants, verified through the manifest
scraper, the extractor's `*3` stride, and 8 ids spot-checked against the live
cache. Two things that look like misalignment are how the cart is built:
`SFX_GET_EGG_UNUSED` and `SFX_GET_EGG` both point at `Sfx_GetEgg`, and
`Sfx_ReadText` / `Sfx_ReadText2` share one header address. **Do not repoint,
re-stride, or add an offset to the SFX, music, or cry tables.**
- **Bind letting you pick other moves.** This is Gen 1 behavior and does not
hold for Gen 2. `BattleCommand_TrapTarget` (`effect_commands.asm:5568-5605`)
writes only the TARGET's wrap count and trapping move. It touches nothing on
the user, so the user is free to switch moves. The port is correct. The real
Gen 2 move locks (Rollout, Thrash, Petal Dance) were genuinely missing and
have been added.
- **The Slowpoke Tail salesman not blocking progression.** He is Route 32's
`FISHER4` at (7,70), not an Azalea Town object, and the cart's refusal arm
only prints. `_OfferToSellSlowpokeTail` runs `setscene SCENE_ROUTE32_NOOP`
first, so the coord event never fires again. There is no pushback to port.
- **The rival being named BLUE.** Not reproducible. The whole chain is intact:
special 36 resolves to `H.NameRival`, `NamingScreen:accept` hands the typed
string through, and BLUE is the Gen 1 default that Gold never reaches. A
separate real defect on this seam (the rival being pre-named SILVER before the
officer asks, and the blank-entry fallback) was found and fixed.
- **Not Very Effective dealing 0 damage**, **status not shown in the battle
UI**, and **the Pokedex missing from the Start Menu** all came back
`already_fixed`: the damage floor is `MIN_DAMAGE` added after the cap and
before the type multiply, the HUD prints the status tag where the level goes,
and the menu row is gated on `save.engineFlags[11]` correctly.
## Standing risks, not breakage
- **Four Gold test files are wired into no runner**, so a regression in them
will not turn `run_tests.lua` red: `gold_flag_names_test`,
`gold_route_validate_test`, `gen2_pokegear_unlock_test`,
`gen2_save_export_test`. All four pass standalone. The first two are the
pre-run route validators documented in `KANTO-CONTINUE.md`; the last two need
a `GOLD_CACHE` and are excluded by an in-file comment. This is deliberate, but
it is a coverage hole and worth knowing.
- **`mods/` must stay clean.** The 2026-08-10 round left temporary probe mods
behind mid-run (`mods/tmp_menus`, `mods/zz_verify_seams`); both are gone now
and `mods/` holds only `example_mew_starter`, `example_silly_oak`, `examples`
and `nuzlocke`. A stray `mods/tmp_*` loads on every Gold boot and changes what
a driver measures. `mods/example_silly_oak` carries only a `.modkitignore` and
warns "manifest.json does not exist" on every boot; that is pre-existing
(27 Jul) and unrelated.
- **`tests/drivers/gold_opaque_surround.lua` is stale.** It reads
`game.stack._items`; `src/core/StateStack.lua` has only `.states`. That branch
is covered instead by `gold_center_pc` and the letterbox-per-frame count in
`gold_frame_seams`.
- **`luac` on this machine is Lua 5.5**, so `luac -p` is a weak proxy for the
LuaJIT/5.1 semantics this engine targets. Use `luajit -b <file> /dev/null` for
a real syntax gate.
- **`docs/rfcs/0001-surfing-pikachu-sprite.md` and `0002-screen-render-visible.md`
are deleted** in the working tree, and both are still referenced by name from
live modkit case files that pass. Those deletions predate both parity runs.
Worth resolving before a commit.
## The failure mode that actually bit, worth remembering
Round 1 reported the Yes/No dialogue fix as landed. It was not. Two of its three
lanes wrote their half, and the third left the hook closure at
`World.lua:828` declared as `function(body, onDone)`, so the third argument
`Vm:resume` passes was silently discarded and the entire `stay` implementation
in `World:showText` and `World:askYesNo` was dead code. Lua drops extra
arguments without complaint, so nothing failed and every suite stayed green.
Round 2 caught it only because an investigator probed the boundary empirically
instead of reading both sides and assuming they met. When work is split across
agents by file, **the seams between the files are where the bugs live**, and a
green suite does not prove a seam is connected.

needs is here.

The Johto main line (walkthrough sections 00-18) is proven: the route bot beats Champion
Lance with every row passing. Kanto (sections 19-32) is extracted and wired but has
NEVER been executed by any bot row, driver, or human. Every entry below reads clean in
static review (cache + code + cart source were cross-checked adversarially); the risk is
purely runtime. The job: make each beat actually run, fix what breaks, and leave
executable evidence (bot rows or assertion drivers) behind.
## State after the 2026-08-09 campaign (what changed under you)
- ~80 defects fixed across the port; 91/91 gen2 suites, engine 128/128, T3 all green.
- The post-game handoff WORKS now: post-E4 credits end at the title screen, and
CONTINUE consumes the post-game spawn (HallOfFame.consumePostGameSpawn): after Lance
you continue in NEW_BARK_TOWN, after Red at SILVER_CAVE_OUTSIDE (23,20). Section 19
is reachable by normal play for the first time.
- The Snorlax wake chain is fully functional (engine-flag bridge unlocks the Pokegear
and EXPN card; the tuned radio song persists after closing the gear; SnorlaxAwake
fires; proven live by tests/drivers/gold_radio_persist.lua).
- Landed systems Kanto beats depend on: phone random/outgoing calls, field item use
(Escape Rope/Dig via save.backupWarp), Repel, swarms, Rock Smash encounters,
waterfall current tiles, roamer scatter on CONTINUE, trap volatiles + FORCESHINY
battle types (beast catching in section 32 is now mechanically possible), badge
boosts, held items, specialty balls (Lure Ball needs battleType 'fish', already
stamped by updateFishing).
- NPC HOUR WINDOWS are now enforced (they were not when the Johto route was authored).
Any Kanto row that talks to a time-gated NPC must pin the clock (POKEPORT_GOLD_HOUR /
POKEPORT_GOLD_DAY) or handle absence. Only 11 hour-gated objects exist on the whole
cart: CELADON_GAME_CORNER 6/7, GOLDENROD_GAME_CORNER 4/5, MOUNT_MOON_GIFT_SHOP 1-4,
and the three Moms in PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F; Celadon and Mt Moon are the Kanto exposures.
- The game clock now anchors on every new game (cart InitClock semantics), so time of
day no longer follows the host wall clock in driver runs; POKEPORT_GOLD_HOUR pins
the anchored base too. Runs are reproducible across day/night; a pre-existing flake
class (night runs catching HOOTHOOT where day runs catch PIDGEY, shifting grind
levels) died with it.
- Battles hit harder both ways since the cart MIN_DAMAGE floor landed; grind budgets
tuned for the old numbers may need a nudge.
## Known bot weaknesses to expect (verified pre-existing, not campaign regressions)
- Pathfinding pocket: travel into ILEX_FOREST / SLOWPOKE_WELL bounces (probe
CHERRYGROVE_CITY>ILEX_FOREST reports no route), and route row 16.54 gives up the
walk to VICTORY_ROAD_GATE with the identical TELEPORT signature in every logged run.
Kanto routing should waypoint doors explicitly per the ops recipes above.
- Optional buy rows 04.5d and 18.g4/18.g5 fail whenever the wallet is empty at that
point in the run; they are budgeting gaps in the route, not engine bugs.
- Grind row 08.g (Route 41 water) has almost no margin; with the clock now anchored
its inputs are stable, but a low-level POLIWAG catch can still stretch it.
## How to run things
Identity/cache: gold-dev (~/Library/Application Support/LOVE/gold-dev/gold), rebuilt
2026-08-09 with swarm/rock/roam tables. Checkpoints gold-ckpt-NN.lua exist per section;
gold-ckpt-18-pristine.lua is the post-E4 seed. ROM: ../decprep/Pokemon - Gold
Version.gbc. Cart source: ../pokegold (cite it in any hand-ported code).
Headless love needs a pty on macOS; wrap every run:
perl -e 'alarm 900; exec @ARGV' python3 -c "import pty; pty.spawn(['love','.'])"
Full bot run: POKEPORT_IDENTITY=<id> POKEPORT_GAME=gold POKEPORT_SPEED=200 \
POKEPORT_GOLD_CKPT=1 POKEPORT_GOLD_STALL=20000 POKEPORT_GOLD_LOG=/tmp/b.log \
POKEPORT_DRIVER=tests/drivers/gold_bot.lua love .
Resume a section: POKEPORT_GOLD_RESUME=NN (same identity, prior CKPT=1 run).
Travel probe: POKEPORT_GOLD_PROBE="MAP_A>MAP_B" with tests/drivers/gold_travel_probe.lua.
Map graph: luajit tools/goldwalk/mapgraph.lua path|map|reach|audit; regenerate
tests/drivers/gold/map_regions.lua with `mapgraph.lua graph >` after ANY extractor map
change, then re-check route region indices.
Route validation (before any run): luajit tests/gold_route_validate_test.lua and
luajit tests/gold_flag_names_test.lua.
Suites: GOLD_CACHE="$HOME/Library/Application Support/LOVE/gold-dev/gold" luajit
tests/gen2_<name>_test.lua; tiers run_engine/run_modkit/run_tests.
Reimport after extractor/manifest changes: python3 tools/make_gold_manifest.py, then
POKEPORT_IMPORT_TRACE=1 POKEPORT_IDENTITY=gold-dev POKEPORT_IMPORT_ROM="../decprep/\
Pokemon - Gold Version.gbc" POKEPORT_IMPORT_ONLY=1 POKEPORT_FORCE_IMPORT=1 \
POKEPORT_GAME=gold love .
## Recommended shape of the work
1. Extend tests/drivers/gold/route.lua with sections 19-32 (the row format, ops and
evidence rules are documented in the file head and bot.lua). Seed runs from
gold-ckpt-18-pristine plus the now-working post-credits CONTINUE. `expect` flags are
the only oracles; never make a row load-bearing on a soft-failing map.
2. Highest-risk multi-map scripted chains first: S.S. Aqua voyage, Machine Part chain,
PASS/Magnet Train chain. Each deserves an assertion driver even if bot rows also
cover it.
3. Time-gated beats (S.S. Aqua sailing days, Indigo rival Mon/Wed, Dragon's Den
Tue/Thu, Clefairy Monday night, TM03 night gate) need POKEPORT_GOLD_DAY/HOUR pins.
4. Johto stragglers are folded in below (lighthouse descent, TM08 flake, and the
optional gift beats); they ride the same route-extension pass.
5. Section 32 (beasts) last: it needs long roaming play; trap volatiles and FORCESHINY
landed this campaign, so Mean Look + Heavy/Fast Ball plans are now viable.
## Also deferred (deliberate stubs, do not re-flag)
Time Capsule trading, Trainer House CAL2/Mystery Gift visitor, Silver-version import,
Cable Club link rooms, and Game Boy Printer output are deliberate product-level stubs,
not campaign work.
## The beats, in walkthrough order
### Runtime coverage ends at the Hall of Fame: no bot row, driver, or human has run any Kanto beat (sections 19-32) or the section 14 Tin Tower/Whirl Islands content
walkthrough section(s) 19,20,21,22,23,24,27,28,29,30,31,14 | missing
One root cause: tests/drivers/gold/route.lua (1264 lines) ends at row 18.20 (settle HALL_OF_FAME, expect EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_FOUR); the campaign covers asm-walk sections 00-18 only and none of the 24/36 gold_* drivers reaches any Kanto map, so sections 19-32 have zero execution proof. Extend route.lua into sections 19-32 and/or add targeted drivers. Per section pair: (s19/20) next rows are the Elm ticket (needs the post-credits spawn fix or a fly detour from Indigo), the ship crossing as far as the docking events, the Surge fight, and a Saffron Gym pad-chain assertion. (s21/22) All 24 route/gym trainers resolve in cache with correct parties: Route 9 six (Edna, Sid, Dean, Sidney, Tim, Heidi); Route 25 seven plus Kevin, whose Nugget-then-battle script 50:488d is hand-shaped (a full bag aborts before the battle, cart behavior); Cerulean's three swimmers; Route 10 South's Jim and Robert (Robert's Quagsire holds a BERRY via TRAINERTYPE_ITEM); Route 8's five; Celadon Gym's five including the twins' shared beat flag. Sight-line engagement is Trainers.sees (proven by the Johto bot); prize money base x level x 4 is Prize.lua; Erika's class item extracts as HYPER_POTION (the walkthrough's 'three Full Restores' is a FAQ error, not a port gap); Gold-only wilds (Mankey line Route 9, Growlithe Routes 7/8) come from the ROM version branch; Route 8's PRZCureBerry fruit tree is a fruittree op (Vm.lua:1218) into Apricorns.lua daily reset. One Kanto smoke-run converts the whole block. (s23/24) Nothing touches Routes 11-19, Fuchsia City/gym, Vermilion Snorlax, Diglett's Cave, Route 2, Pewter; the report's three blocker findings (START menu row, Pokegear card flags, radio persistence) are exactly the UI-plumbing breaks data audits miss: a gold_snorlax_wake.lua that grants the gear and EXPN card the way the game does (setflag 4, setflag 0, setflag 3 through the VM, not by poking save fields), tunes the radio, closes the gear, and talks to the Snorlax would currently fail at three separate steps; gold_cycling_road.lua and gold_fuchsia_gym.lua are the other two cheap proofs (gold_menu_shots.lua:72-73 only ever hand-seeded save fields). (s27/28) Drive first: (1) Cinnabar Blue talk -> disappear -> clearevent 1910 -> Viridian Gym populated -> Blue beaten -> ENGINE_EARTHBADGE set -> VAR_BADGES answers 16 (a break anywhere makes the 16th badge unobtainable and the Mt. Silver gate unpassable); cache chain exists: CINNABAR_ISLAND obj 1 SPRITE_BLUE at (9,6) scriptKey 4e:4985 eventFlag 1909; VIRIDIAN_GYM objs 1-2 gated on 1910; (2) the ROUTE_20 MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP 4e:4cfa setevent 215 / ROUTE_19 MAPCALLBACK_TILES 4e:4f09 changeblock unseal pair (regression walls off Route 19). Driver: surf Pallet -> Route 21 -> Cinnabar -> talk to Blue -> Route 20 -> beat Blaine -> fly to Viridian -> beat Blue. (s29/30) No rows for Kanto OAKS_LAB, ROUTE_22, ROUTE_28, SILVER_CAVE_OUTSIDE, or the Union Cave B2F Lapras revisit (route.lua's only Union Cave rows are 03.29/04.g); risk concentrates on composites never run together: the 16-badge Oak visit with ProfOaksPCBoot text chain, the double Cut approach to the Route 28 west strip, surf-to-talk on the drifting SWIM_WANDER Lapras (Lake of Rage Gyarados proves the shape via gold_lake_probe.lua), and the daily-flag consume-and-respawn cycle across a save reload; a targeted gold_lapras_probe driver (clockDay=5, walk in, assert object present, catch, walk out, re-enter, assert gone) plus route extension converts inspected to proven. (s31) All six Silver Cave maps decode (warps, item balls flags 1689-1693, hidden items, SILVER_CAVE_OUTSIDE flypoint callback, PALETTE_DARK on Room 1, grass/water tables including Room 2 water); Flash lifts PALETTE_DARK via Palettes.isDarkness + World flashUsed; Surf/Waterfall live in FieldMoves with the badge table; gen2 ledges landed via Permissions.ledgeFacings / World:tryLedgeJump (the asm-walk's 'ledge hop missing' row is stale, GOLD-NEXT-RUN records the fix); the flypoint is FieldMoves.lua:386 flag 75; but no driver has entered Silver Cave, used Waterfall on Room 2's two bands, hopped Room 1's Escape Rope ledge, or talked to Red (closest: gold_halloffame_shots, gold_hm07_probe which proved Waterfall only at Tohjo Falls). (s14) The bot covers sections 10,11,12,13,16,17,18 and never section 14 (Ho-Oh is optional); untested: the 4F-9F ladder/hop mazes (depend on the recently added ledge-hop and one-way-wall support), the Ecruteak entrance sage scene retarget from Morty's setmapscene, the 1F sage unmasking off EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED (set on the Gold arm of the Radio Tower boss script), the roof save/reset loop, and the entire Gold-side Whirl Islands dive; needs one probe driver carrying a RAINBOW_WING save up the tower and one diving to the Lugia chamber.
*How to prove it:* Extend tests/drivers/gold/route.lua past row 18.20 into sections 19-32, and/or write the named targeted drivers: gold_snorlax_wake.lua, gold_cycling_road.lua, gold_fuchsia_gym.lua, a gold_lapras_probe (clockDay=5 present/absent cycle), a Cinnabar-to-Viridian 16th-badge driver, a Route 20/19 unseal driver, a Silver Cave/Red driver, a Tin Tower RAINBOW_WING probe, and a Whirl Islands Lugia dive probe.
*Notes:* Merged from the parent heading plus six 'Also filed as' sub-findings (all one cause). Doc's own ratings: parent missing/minor (s19,20, already in ledger); s21,22 unverified/minor; s23,24 unverified/minor; s27,28 missing/major; s29,30 unverified/minor; s31 unverified/minor; s14 unverified/minor. The adversarial re-check ran on the s27/28 sub-claim, tried to refute and could not; its one correction: tests/drivers/gold/flag_names.lua and map_regions.lua DO name the Kanto maps (map_regions even carries CINNABAR/SEAFOAM/VIRIDIAN region graphs, so bot travel there is data-ready) but they are lookup tables, not executed coverage. 'Implemented statically, executed by nobody' matches the project's Roamers/Events:restore failure mode. GOLD-WALK-HANDOFF sections 1 and 4 already document the Johto-only scope.
### Olivine Port pier and Fast Ship boarding gate: the only road into Kanto, fully extracted, never executed
walkthrough section(s) 19 | unverified
Coord event at (7,15) (cache 5b:407d) does the full cart sequence: temporary-event bails, first-time bypass on event 48, readvar VAR_WEEKDAY branch, yesorno, checkitem S_S_TICKET (item 68), setevent 1, 7-step applymovement, sjump into gangway script 5b:401e which plays SFX, disappears/appears the sailor, runs special 46 = FadeOutToWhite (specialOrder[46+1], implemented Specials.lua:998), clears the eight eastbound EVENT_BEAT_* rematch flags on repeat trips, sets FAST_SHIP_1F scene 1, and warps to (25,1). Port sprite toggles for the post-Hall-of-Fame sailor (events 1847/1848) are armed by the HOF script. All data extracted, every op has a proven Johto call site; matched op-for-op against pokegold maps/OlivinePort.asm. Needs one live run or driver.
*How to prove it:* A driver or bot section that reaches OLIVINE_PORT post-HOF with the S_S_TICKET, boards, and asserts the warp to FAST_SHIP_1F (25,1) with scene 1 set. No gold_* driver currently reaches OLIVINE_PORT post-HOF.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/blocker, new. If this chain fails, the walkthrough stops here (Kanto unreachable).
### S.S. Aqua maiden voyage: trainer gauntlet, lazy sailor, granddaughter, Metal Coat, docking; extracted end to end, never run
walkthrough section(s) 19 | unverified
Verified in cache, never executed: FastShip1F enter scene 5b:48a8 sdefer 5b:48ad (SFX_BOAT, earthquake 30, blackoutmod to cabin map, clearevent 49, scene 2 on first trip); grandpa bump coord events at (24,6)/(25,6); maiden-trip trainer objects behind flag 1849 with parties matching data/trainers/parties.asm exactly (NOLAND Sandslash31/Golem33, LYLE Koffing28/Flareon31/Koffing28, COLIN Delibird32 holding BERRY, MEG&PEG, FRITZ Mr.Mime/Magmar/Machoke, JEFF 2x Raticate32, DEBRA Seaking33, STANLY Machop31/Machoke33/Psyduck26, all in trainers.lua); B1F blocking-sailor coord scripts 5b:5e0c/5b:5e21 plus shared talk script 5b:5e37 clearing event 1837 to spawn the lazy sailor; FastShipLazySailorScript 5b:4d68 (playmusic, loadtrainer SAILOR 9, reloadmap, special 27 = HealParty, setmapscene B1F NOOP, readvar VAR_FACING walk-out); bed script 5b:521b (HealParty, fades, ReloadSpritesNoPalettes, RestartMapMusic, dock check on events 49/50/48 so sleeping cannot dock the maiden voyage); granddaughter payoff 5b:55c6 (fade, disappear/moveobject/appear teleport, showemote, sjump 5b:5633 = Metal Coat verbosegiveitem plus EVENT_FAST_SHIP_HAS_ARRIVED/FOUND_GIRL); door guard 5b:48d2 with arrived arm 5b:48ec (scall facing arm, setmapscene VERMILION_PORT scene 1, warp to VERMILION_PORT 7,17). Specials 27/46/47/49/50/60 resolve to HealParty/FadeOutToWhite/FadeOutToBlack/FadeInFromBlack/ReloadSpritesNoPalettes/RestartMapMusic, all implemented. Nothing in the chain touches a stubbed special, callasm, or VAR. Matched against pokegold maps/FastShip*.asm.
*How to prove it:* A bot section or driver for the full crossing (board, fight or dodge the gauntlet, sleep check, granddaughter Metal Coat, dock at VERMILION_PORT 7,17).
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/blocker, new. If any link breaks, arrival in Kanto is impossible.
### Machine Part quest chain (Power Plant manager, Cerulean Gym grunt scene, Route 24 grunt, part return, TM07) never executed
walkthrough section(s) 21,22 | unverified
The spine of sections 21-22: manager talk sets EVENT_MET_MANAGER_AT_POWER_PLANT 202, clears EVENT_CERULEAN_GYM_ROCKET 1901 and EVENT_FOUND_MACHINE_PART_IN_CERULEAN_GYM 251, arms CERULEAN_GYM scene 1 and the POWER_PLANT guard phone-call scene; grunt runs out of the gym (sets 203, clears 1900/1902, arms ROUTE_25 scene 1); beat the Route 24 grunt (GRUNTM 31, L30 Golbat); return the part for TM07 Zap Cannon plus EVENT_RESTORED_POWER_TO_KANTO 205 and the Saffron station population flip (clears 1906). Statically verified: cache holds full bytecode for PowerPlantManager 54:4dbd with both branches (54:4deb takeitem MACHINE_PART / 54:4e04 TM give guarded by event 223), gym scene script 54:4332 sdefer 54:4336 with all 34 rows, Route 24 grunt script 50:4407; initial_events.lua seeds flags 251/1900/1901/1902/1903/1906/1907 at new game exactly as InitializeEventsScript does (pokegold engine/events/std_scripts.asm:546-550); World.lua:607 applies the seed while EVENT_INITIALIZED_EVENTS is clear. Engine deps all have call sites: World:trySceneScript (World.lua:5369, called at :6893), setmapscene/setscene (Vm.lua:274-284), specials RestartMapMusic/FadeOutToBlack/FadeInFromBlack/ReloadSpritesNoPalettes/FadeOutMusic (Specials.lua:999-1072). Missing only run-time proof: route bot covers sections 00-18, no Kanto driver exists.
*How to prove it:* Route extension or a driver walking manager -> gym grunt scene -> Route 24 grunt battle -> part return, asserting events 202/203/205 set and 1900/1901/1902/251/1906 cleared and TM07 in bag.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/blocker, new.
### Route 25 Misty date scene, Cerulean gym population, and Misty fight never executed (and Misty gives no TM, contrary to walkthrough)
walkthrough section(s) 21 | unverified
The date cutscene at Route 25 cells (42,6)/(42,7) is what clears EVENT_TRAINERS_IN_CERULEAN_GYM 1903 and populates the gym with Misty, three swimmers, and the guide; without it Misty never appears and the Cascade Badge is unreachable. Cache has both coord events with sceneId=1 (scripts 18305/18369) and full scripts 50:4781/50:47c1 (34-row cutscene: heart emote, boyfriend flees, Misty approach movement, clearevent 1903, setscene 0, special 60=RestartMapMusic), armed by gym grunt script 54:4336 row 27 (setmapscene group=7 map=16 scene=1). Engine deps: World:tryCoordScript (World.lua:5006) filters on the map scene id; mapScenes persist on the save (GOLD-INDEX tier note on World:loadPlayerData). CeruleanGymMistyScript 54:438a is in the cache; MISTY trainer 1 party (L42 Golduck, L42 Quagsire, L44 Lapras, L47 Starmie with full movesets) extracts correctly; baseMoney 25 so the 4700G payout follows from Prize.reward.
*How to prove it:* Driver: arm the scene via the gym grunt, trigger the date coord event at (42,6)/(42,7), assert 1903 cleared and the gym populated, then fight Misty and assert the Cascade Badge and 4700G.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/blocker, new. Correction embedded in the doc: Misty gives NO TM on the Gold cart, only the badge plus retroactive swimmer beat flags; the walkthrough and the lead's 'TM from Misty' are wrong about the cart, nothing is missing in the port there.
### PASS quest: Copycat lost item and Fan Club doll chain fully extracted, never run
walkthrough section(s) 22 | unverified
Copycat (COPYCATS_HOUSE_2F object 1, variable sprite slot 251) talk after the machine part return sets EVENT_MET_COPYCAT_FOUND_OUT_ABOUT_LOST_ITEM 206; Fan Club Clefairy guy (POKEMON_FAN_CLUB object 3, script 59:437b) then gives LOST_ITEM 130 and disappears the doll (flag 1908, correctly NOT in the initial seed; doc evidence line also cites POKEMON_FAN_CLUB object 5 flag 1908); returning it (Copycat branch 61:528b: takeitem 130, setevent 208, clearevent 1907 to re-show her shelf doll, then PASS 134 via 61:529d) yields the PASS. All bytecode in cache (61:5235/61:5270/61:528b); the mimicry gag's variablesprite slot 11 plus special 93 resolves to LoadUsedSpritesGFX (specialOrder[94], Specials.lua:1033); the Copycat's variable sprite slot is seeded through World.initialSprites/findInitialSprites (World.lua:1530, the fix GOLD-INDEX credits for the Copycat existing at all). Flag 1907 is in the initial seed so the shelf doll is hidden until the return; 1906 is seeded so the Saffron station stays empty until power is restored.
*How to prove it:* Driver: after machine-part return, talk to Copycat (assert 206), get LOST_ITEM at the Fan Club (assert doll flag 1908 set), return it (assert 208 set, 1907 cleared, PASS 134 in bag).
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new. Correction embedded: the walkthrough's 'Rail Pass then Magnet Train Pass' is one item (PASS) on the cart, not a port gap. Merge-with hint: the s20 entry 'Copycat lost doll quest chain toward the rail PASS' (copycat-doll-pass-s20) describes the same quest from the section-20 audit with slightly different event ids cited (210/201 gate checks there vs 206/208 here).
### Magnet Train ride wired end to end; arrival behavior needs a human eye, never ridden since
walkthrough section(s) 22 | unverified
SaffronMagnetTrainStationOfficerScript (cache 61:4bc2/61:4bd0, rows 11-14) checks EVENT_RESTORED_POWER_TO_KANTO 205 then checkitem PASS 134, does setval 1, special id=35 which resolves to MagnetTrain (specialOrder[36]), then warpcheck and newloadmap 249 (MAPSETUP_TRAIN). All implemented: H.MagnetTrain (Specials.lua:2119) reads scriptVar for direction and blocks on World:magnetTrain (World.lua:2393) which pushes Gen2MagnetTrainRide; Vm handles warpcheck (:1135) and newloadmap (:1177); MAPSETUP_TRAIN defined at World.lua:175. Gating events (205 set by the Power Plant manager, PASS from the Copycat) are this section's other findings.
*How to prove it:* WHATS-NEXT item 8: a human rides both ways and presses a direction on arrival; the conversation must start on the first step because south is the only legal step out of the doorway cell. Nothing has run this since.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, already named in the ledger.
### Silver Wing in Gold: Pewter City gramps script extracted, but Kanto (and the Whirl Islands dive) never run
walkthrough section(s) 14 | unverified
For a Gold cart, Lugia needs the SILVER_WING carried in the bag (WhirlIslandLugiaChamberLugiaCallback does checkevent EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA then checkitem SILVER_WING), and in Gold the wing comes from the Pewter City gramps (pokegold maps/PewterCity.asm PewterCityGrampsScript: checkver, Silver arm branches away, Gold falls through to verbosegiveitem SILVER_WING + setevent). Verified in cache: PEWTER_CITY object 3 (SPRITE_GRAMPS at 29,17) scriptKey 4d:583e = faceplayer / opentext / checkver / iftrue 4d:585c / checkevent 121 / verbosegiveitem item 71 / setevent 121 / closetext / end, all generic opcodes. The Lugia chamber map, its SPRITE_LUGIA object (scriptKey 47:41a0, eventFlag 1853), and its MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS callback (47:418c) are in the cache using only implemented machinery. Route bot has no section 14/25 rows (grep 'id = "1[0-9]' shows 10,11,12,13,16,17,18). One mechanical gap on the dive path: the waterfall forced-down item, reported separately in the doc.
*How to prove it:* Driver or bot rows: reach Pewter in Gold, talk to the gramps (assert SILVER_WING item 71 given, event 121 set), then the full Whirl Islands dive to the Lugia chamber.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new. The waterfall forced-down item on the dive path is a separate finding elsewhere in the doc, not part of this entry.
### Vermilion Port arrival bookkeeping, Vermilion flypoint, and Kanto music never executed
walkthrough section(s) 19 | unverified
Arrival scene (VERMILION_PORT scene 1, sdefer 5b:450e) extracted intact: one step up, appear the gangway sailor, setscene 0, end-of-voyage flags (1841/1840 hide grandpa and granddaughter for good, 1849 retires the maiden-trip trainers, clear 1843 to reveal the Olivine passage Pokefan, set 48 EVENT_FAST_SHIP_FIRST_TIME), and blackoutmod VERMILION_CITY. ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VERMILION comes from MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP on both VERMILION_PORT and VERMILION_CITY (setflag 57); the port's fly table carries the matching row (FieldMoves.lua:392) and World:runMapCallback has a live call site (World.lua:5659 plus the MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS call in setMap). Fly deliberately stays region-locked exactly like the cart (FieldMoves.flyPoints, FieldMoves.lua:442: Kanto page only after SPAWN_INDIGO, no cross-region fly, verified against pokegold engine/pokegear/pokegear.asm .KantoFlyMap). Kanto music extracted: audio.lua songs has 92 entries, musicOrder includes Music_VermilionCity and Music_ViridianCity (musicOrder[63]=Music_VermilionCity), mapSongs carries all 362 map rows.
*How to prove it:* Driver: dock at Vermilion, assert flags 1841/1840/1849/48 set and 1843 cleared, flypoint flag 57 set on map entry, and Vermilion/Viridian city music playing.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new.
### Pokemon Fan Club chairman Rare Candy give never run
walkthrough section(s) 19 | unverified
Chairman script 59:4340: checkevent 212 (already heard), checkevent 211 (bag-full retry), yesorno where answering No gives nothing (cart behavior), two promptbutton speech pages, verbosegiveitem item 32 = RARE_CANDY, setevent 212. The cart quirk that nothing ever sets the bag-full retry event 211 is faithfully carried in the extracted bytecode. Same map also holds the Clefairy doll object (flag 1908) and Clefairy Guy script 59:437b that the later Copycat quest reads. yesorno, verbosegiveitem, and multi-page writetext all have proven Johto call sites. Matched against pokegold maps/PokemonFanClub.asm; RARE_CANDY present in items.lua.
*How to prove it:* Covered by any Kanto smoke-run that talks to the chairman and asserts RARE_CANDY given and event 212 set.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Lt. Surge gym: trainers, Thunder Badge, AI item use fully extracted, never fought
walkthrough section(s) 19 | unverified
Surge script 59:4bfc: checkflag 36 re-fight guard, loadtrainer class 19 member 1, winlosstext, reloadmapafterbattle (whose loss-abort semantics were fixed during the Johto campaign), retroactive setevent of the three gym trainers, setflag 36 = ENGINE_THUNDERBADGE which routes to save.player.kantoBadges.THUNDER. Parties in trainers.lua match data/trainers/parties.asm exactly: Surge is RAICHU44/ELECTRODE40/MAGNETON40/ELECTRODE40/ELECTABUZZ46 with full TRAINERTYPE_MOVES movesets; Vincent, Horton, Gregory all match (GUITARIST 2/JUGGLER 3/GENTLEMAN 3). Trainer AI item use implemented: Ai.ITEM_ORDER/Ai.chooseItem (Ai.lua:1368-1400) dispatched from Battle.lua:1790 (AI_SwitchOrTryItem) off the extracted class attributes. The gym has no puzzle in Gen 2, matching the walkthrough's power-outage line.
*How to prove it:* Driver or route rows: fight the gym trainers and Surge, assert ENGINE_THUNDERBADGE (flag 36) set into save.player.kantoBadges.THUNDER and the AI HYPER_POTION use path exercised.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new. Correction embedded: the walkthrough's claim that Surge holds a Full Restore is a FAQ error; pokegold data/trainers/attributes.asm line 114 (block 113-117) gives the Lt Surge class HYPER_POTION and the cache carries exactly that (LT_SURGE items=HYPER_POTION, baseMoney 25).
### Route 6 Underground Path blocker and Saffron gate guard extracted, never walked
walkthrough section(s) 20 | unverified
The walkthrough's 'large man who blocks the entire entrance' is the ROUTE6_POKEFAN_M object at (17,4) whose event flag EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH hides him only when SET (set by the Power Plant script in a later section); the port's object-visibility rule 'flag set hides object' is implemented and documented at Events.lua:1-2, and his script is a bare jumptextfaceplayer about the Power Plant. The Route 6 Saffron gate guard at (0,4) stands off the walking lane and is dialogue only (branches on EVENT_RETURNED_MACHINE_PART). ROUTE_6 grass and water encounter tables (Abra/Magnemite slots) are present in encounters.lua. Nothing gated on engine work; it has just never been walked.
*How to prove it:* Covered by any Kanto walk through Route 6 before and after the Power Plant script sets the blocker flag.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Mr. Psychic's TM29 Psychic give extracted verbatim, Kanto walk to the door unproven
walkthrough section(s) 20 | unverified
Cache 61:4b15: checkevent 227, writetext, promptbutton, verbosegiveitem item 221 = TM_PSYCHIC_M, iffalse full-bag fall-through WITHOUT setting the flag (cart behavior, re-talk after making room), setevent 227. TM_PSYCHIC_M is in items.lua with pocket TM_HM and price 2000; the four-pocket bag and TM teaching were exercised in the Johto run (TM08 ROCK SMASH teach passed on merit per GOLD-WALK-HANDOFF). Matched against pokegold maps/MrPsychicsHouse.asm.
*How to prove it:* Any Kanto run that walks to the house, talks, and asserts TM29 given and event 227 set (plus the full-bag retry arm).
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Silph Co. 1F Up-Grade give extracted, never run
walkthrough section(s) 20 | unverified
Cache 61:4f81: same shape as Mr. Psychic, verbosegiveitem item 172 = UP_GRADE guarded by event 222 with the full-bag fall-through. The officer at (13,1) has event flag -1 so he never moves, and SILPH_CO_1F has only the two street-door warps: there is no upstairs in Gen 2, so the 'man blocking the stairway' never opens, matching the cart (verified against pokegold maps/SilphCo1F.asm). Generic mechanisms only. UP_GRADE present in items.lua.
*How to prove it:* Any Kanto run that enters Silph Co. 1F and asserts UP_GRADE given behind event 222.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Saffron Gym teleporter maze (30 same-map warp pads) never exercised; same-map warp chains untested anywhere
walkthrough section(s) 20 | unverified
The gym's whole puzzle is 30 warp pads (cache SAFFRON_GYM warps 3-32) that all target SAFFRON_GYM itself; the only route to Sabrina is entrance pad (11,15) -> ... -> (1,5) -> (11,9). The engine mechanism exists and reads correct: pads are COLL_WARP_PANEL 0x7c, an immediate warp (Permissions.lua:311); World:takeWarp (World.lua:6022-6040) handles a destination equal to the current map through setMap; warpCooldown keyed on the landing cell (World.lua:6135 set, 6217-6222, 6240 suppression check) stops the landing pad from re-firing until the player steps off, exactly what a pad-to-pad maze needs. But the asm-walk's own port-coverage table flags that no driver has ever exercised a same-map warp chain, and no Kanto run exists. If this breaks, Sabrina is unreachable and the 10th badge (and eventually Red's gate) is lost.
*How to prove it:* Targeted driver: enter the gym, ride pad (11,15), assert arrival at (19,17), then the full 5-hop chain to (11,9).
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new.
### Sabrina battle and Marsh Badge fully extracted, never fought
walkthrough section(s) 20 | unverified
Sabrina script (cache 61:40cf): checkflag 39 guard, loadtrainer class 35 member 1, reloadmapafterbattle, force-sets the four gym trainer flags (so the trainers are skippable, as the walkthrough implies), setflag 39 = ENGINE_MARSHBADGE routed to save.player.kantoBadges.MARSH. Party matches the cart exactly (trainers.lua SABRINA 1: ESPEON46 Sand-Attack/Quick Attack/Swift/Psychic, MR__MIME46 Barrier/Reflect/Baton Pass/Psychic, ALAKAZAM48 Recover/Future Sight/Psychic/Reflect; class item HYPER_POTION, base reward 25, AI attribute words extracted; attributes.asm:209-213). The four trainers (Rebecca, Franklin, Doris, Jared; MEDIUM 6,7 / PSYCHIC_T 2,11; parties verified including the cart's L35 third Exeggcute that the FAQ gets wrong) are OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER with SPINRANDOM movement, which Npc.lua supports, and sight/battle handoff is the proven Trainers.lua path. Prize money base x last-level x4 is implemented in Prize.lua (matches the walkthrough's 4800G).
*How to prove it:* Driver through the warp maze to Sabrina; assert ENGINE_MARSHBADGE (flag 39) into save.player.kantoBadges.MARSH, the four trainer flags force-set, and the 4800G payout.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new. Corrections embedded: the L35 third Exeggcute is cart-correct (the FAQ is wrong); Sabrina's class item is HYPER_POTION.
### Copycat lost doll quest chain toward the rail PASS (section-20 filing): all pieces present and generic, never run
walkthrough section(s) 20 | unverified
Spans this section's maps (Copycat's house is Saffron warp 8, the doll source is the Vermilion Fan Club) though the walkthrough text defers it to after the Power Plant (EVENT_RETURNED_MACHINE_PART gates the dialogue arms). Copycat's 2F object uses variable sprite 251 (SPRITE_COPYCAT), and the new-game variablesprite seeding that used to leave Copycat despawned was fixed during the Johto campaign (tests/gen2_variable_sprites_test.lua, GOLD-WALK-HANDOFF section 5); her script (cache 61:5235) is extracted bytecode whose only special, LoadUsedSpritesGFX, is implemented (Specials.lua:1033); the Fan Club Clefairy Guy (59:437b) checks events 210/201 and gives LOST_ITEM; the doll object (flag 1907) and the PASS handover (verbosegiveitem PASS, setevent EVENT_GOT_PASS_FROM_COPYCAT per pokegold maps/CopycatsHouse2F.asm:61-73) are ordinary ops; PASS is a KEY_ITEM in items.lua. Nothing engine-shaped is missing.
*How to prove it:* Same driver as the s22 PASS quest entry: full Copycat/Fan Club round trip asserting LOST_ITEM, doll flags, and PASS.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new, named in the leads. Merge-with hint: same quest chain as pass-quest-copycat-fanclub (s22); kept separate because the doc filed them as distinct headings from two section audits. This filing cites Clefairy Guy gate events 210/201 and doll flag 1907; the s22 filing cites 206/208 and doll-disappear flag 1908.
### Celadon side items: TM03 Curse night gate, Leftovers trash can, hidden PP Up (plus Berserk Gene, Route 9 Ether, Route 25 Potion) never run
walkthrough section(s) 22 | unverified
TM03 Curse: roof house pharmacist script 5e:5083 in cache with checktime mask 4 (NITE) at row 7; the Vm checktime opcode (Vm.lua:788) maps NITE to bit 4 off World:timeOfDayId, so the night-only gate should behave; the give branch 5e:509a is guarded by EVENT_GOT_TM03_CURSE 218. Leftovers: CeladonCafeTrashcan bg event at (7,1) key 5e:648c present, plain giveitem bytecode with the flag only set on success so a full pack retries, exactly the cart. Hidden PP Up at Celadon (37,21): BGEVENT_ITEM row present, handled by HiddenItems (fixed PP_UP; the walkthrough's 'random PP Up' is wrong on the cart too). Berserk Gene at Cerulean (2,12), hidden Ether Route 9 (10,5), and hidden Potion Route 25 (4,5) likewise extract. All generic and statically sound, none ever run.
*How to prove it:* Kanto run collecting each: night visit for TM03 (checktime NITE), cafe trash can Leftovers with full-pack retry, hidden-item picks via HiddenItems.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new. Correction embedded: the PP Up is fixed, not random, on the cart.
### Mt. Moon Square Clefairy dance (Monday night) + hidden Moon Stone + Rock Smash rock: all dependencies present, sequence never executed
walkthrough section(s) 26 | unverified
Coord event at (7,11) scene 0 runs 5b:676a, whose 45 rows extract completely: checkflag 87 (ENGINE_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY), readvar var 11 (VAR_WEEKDAY, real in the port) ifnotequal 1 (MONDAY), checktime NITE, then the appear/follow/applymovement/cry/showemote dance, clearevent 236 (the hidden Moon Stone flag) and setflag 87. Both callbacks extracted (type 5 NEWMAP 5b:6763 re-hides the stone on entry; type 2 OBJECTS 5b:6767 hides the rock). The rock object (SPRITE_ROCK at 7,7, scriptKey 5b:67ee = jumpstd SmashRockScript) resolves to the real SmashRock/AskRockSmash bodies GOLD-INDEX.md:377-382 documents; follow/stopfollow are implemented (Vm.lua:1009,1026). Flag semantics match the cart: ENGINE_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY lives in wDailyFlags2 (pokegold constants/engine_flags.asm:105-106) and the port clears id 87 in Apricorns.DAILY_ENGINE_FLAGS, so the dance is once per day, i.e. once per Monday night. Unproven in-game: (a) whether the appeared rock correctly blocks/receives the A press on the Moon Stone tile at (7,7) and Rock Smash then exposes the hidden item in the same visit, and (b) the full follow-chain animation. The stubbed RockMonEncounter (CallAsm STUB_ROWS) does NOT affect this rock: MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE is not in the cart's RockMonMaps (pokegold data/wild/treemon_maps.asm:43-48), so no encounter roll is owed here.
*How to prove it:* Driver: force clockDay=MONDAY clockHour=NITE, walk to (7,11), watch the dance, smash the rock, take the Moon Stone.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Rival re-encounters after Mt Moon (Indigo Plateau Mon/Wed rematch, Dragon's Den Tue/Thu cameo) never run
walkthrough section(s) 26 | unverified
Both beats are pure extracted content keyed on EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON (set by the implemented Mt Moon script) and VAR_WEEKDAY (real in the port; World:readVar VAR_WEEKDAY at World.lua:1289): the cache carries INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F's NEWMAP callback 5a:48b6 (23 rows of setmapscene/clearevent resets) plus its two coord events, and DRAGONS_DEN_B1F's callback 47:44e1 (checkevent 793 -> disappear object 4). The daily rematch flag ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT (id 92) is in Apricorns.DAILY_ENGINE_FLAGS so it clears on the daily rollover. The rematch parties RIVAL2 members 4-6 (L45-50 with CROBAT) are in trainers.lua. Nothing looks missing, but the coord-event choreography in the Pokecenter (rival walks in as you leave) is the kind of scene worth a driver before trusting; filed unverified rather than implemented for that reason.
*How to prove it:* Driver: set EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON via the Mt Moon fight, force weekday Monday/Wednesday, enter the Indigo lobby and assert the rematch triggers; force Tuesday/Thursday and assert the Dragon's Den object 4 state.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new. Merge-with hint: overlaps indigo-lobby-rival-rematch (s18), the same Indigo Plateau rematch filed from the section-18 audit; that filing cites World:weekday at World.lua:1247 and scriptKeys 5a:48ff/5a:4940.
### Indigo lobby rival rematch (Monday/Wednesday, RIVAL2, post Mt. Moon) armed on tiles the walkthrough crosses, never run
walkthrough section(s) 18 | unverified
Not in the walkthrough text but armed on the lobby tiles it crosses: coord events at (16,4)/(17,4) run PlateauRivalBattle1/2 (cache scriptKeys 5a:48ff/5a:4940), which fight the RIVAL2 second-tier party when EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON is set, ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT is clear, and VAR_WEEKDAY is Monday or Wednesday (pokegold maps/IndigoPlateauPokecenter1F.asm). Every dependency exists: coord events and scripts extracted, VAR_WEEKDAY answers the real weekday (World:weekday, World.lua:1247), the daily engine flag is registered for midnight reset (Apricorns.lua:88, id 92 ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT), and RIVAL2 parties 4-6 (SNEASEL/45, CROBAT/48, MAGNETON/45, GENGAR/46, ALAKAZAM/46, starter/50) are in the trainers cache. But the gate flag EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON is Kanto content no run has ever set.
*How to prove it:* Should be picked up when section 26 is audited/run: same driver as rival-rematch-mtmoon, entering the lobby on Monday/Wednesday with the Mt Moon flag set and asserting the coord-event battle fires.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new. Merge-with hint: same beat as rival-rematch-mtmoon (s26); kept separate because the doc filed both headings. Line-cite difference between filings: World.lua:1247 (weekday) here vs World.lua:1289 (readVar VAR_WEEKDAY) there.
### Lighthouse descent and swim to Cianwood (route rows 08.50/08.51) never walked; collision data matches the cart, blame points at the bot's region graph
walkthrough section(s) 08 | unverified
The route bot has never completed the descent from Jasmine to Route 40, so the Surf crossing, all fourteen Route 40/41 swimmers, and Cianwood arrival are engine-unwalked (runs reach section 08+ by teleport; run 28 still failed rows 08.50/08.51). The handoff narrows it to the 3F seven-cell pocket: warps 8/9 at (8,3)/(9,3) 'do not take' when stood on. Verified in the current cache: OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_3F (8,3)/(9,3) decode to COLL_FLOOR 0x00, and pokegold data/tilesets/lighthouse_collision.asm block $27 is FLOOR,FLOOR,FLOOR,FLOOR, so those two warp rows are one-way landing anchors for the 4F pits at (8,3)/(9,3) (which decode to COLL_PIT 0x60) and never fire on the cart either. The pocket's real exit is warp 3, the staircase at (9,5), which decodes to 0x72 and does fire ((13,3) also 0x72). Fix shape: correct the bot's region graph, which treats landing-anchor warp coordinates as exits (the exact trap GOLD-WALK-HANDOFF.md:593 documents), not the engine; a human following the walkthrough (drop beside Connie, fight Terrell, take the Ether, head up the stairs) uses the (9,5) staircase and should be fine.
*How to prove it:* Something must walk 6F down to CIANWOOD_CITY in the engine (bot rows 08.50/08.51 passing, or a driver doing the descent and the Route 40/41 Surf crossing); until then the second half of section 08 stays a beat-completeness check rather than a proven path.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, already named in the ledger. The doc's own re-check corrected the suspicion of an engine defect: the cache collision matches the cart exactly, so the failing rows indict the bot's region graph, not the engine or the warp data.
### TM08 Rock Smash give (route row 06.21) flaky across runs; ledger contradicts itself and the failure is unresolved
walkthrough section(s) 06 | unverified
The Route 36 fisher gives TM08 after EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO (Route36RockSmashGuyScript, generic extracted bytecode with verbosegiveitem guarded by iffalse .NoRoomForTM). The ledger contradicts itself across runs: GOLD-WALK-HANDOFF section 8 says 'Everything before it now passes on merit: Sudowoodo, TM08, the ROCK SMASH teach', but run 28's failure table lists '06.21 ROUTE_36 EVENT_GOT_TM08_ROCK_SMASH not set' while the Sudowoodo row itself passed. Plausible causes: full TM pocket taking the iffalse arm, or the bot failing to stand adjacent. The script path is generic and the same give shape works everywhere else, so this is most likely route flake, but it is unresolved in the latest continuous run and TM08 gates all Rock Smash content downstream (Burned Tower rocks, Route 40/Cianwood rock items).
*How to prove it:* Re-run route row 06.21 in a continuous run and assert EVENT_GOT_TM08_ROCK_SMASH gets set; instrument for TM-pocket fullness and adjacency to distinguish the two suspected causes.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, already named in the ledger. Not given severity unverified-risk because the problem is a reproduced-once run failure (a live flake), not purely never-executed content.
### New Bark rival push scene (talk to rival by the lab) unproven; low risk, zero coverage
walkthrough section(s) 00 | unverified
Walkthrough: 'If you talk to him, he'll push you out of the way.' NewBarkTownRivalScript is optional, repeatable (sets no flag) and uses follow PLAYER, applymovement with turn_head/step/fix_facing/jump_step, and SFX_TACKLE. Every opcode involved is implemented (follow/stopfollow in the VM, jump_step in Movement.lua which the ledge fixes exercised), and the sibling teacher-drag scene has a dedicated driver (tests/drivers/gold_teacher_scene.lua), but no driver or test touches this specific scene and the route bot never talks to optional NPCs. Cache maps.lua NEW_BARK_TOWN objects include the rival with a scriptKey and eventFlag.
*How to prove it:* A short driver that talks to the rival by the lab and observes the push movement chain, mirroring gold_teacher_scene.lua.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Kiyo battle and Tyrogue gift (Mount Mortar B1F): fully wired, never exercised by any driver or bot run
walkthrough section(s) 15 | unverified
The game's only Tyrogue. Cache scripts['46:5eec'] holds all 29 rows of MountMortarB1FKiyoScript (checkevent 97 / 1193, winlosstext, loadtrainer class BLACKBELT_T member 6, startbattle, reloadmapafterbattle, setevent 1193, readvar var=1 VAR_PARTYCOUNT, ifequal 6, givepoke species 236 level 10, setevent 97); trainers cache has BLACKBELT_T[6] KIYO = L34 HITMONLEE + L34 HITMONCHAN (KIYO object at 13,4 with scriptKey 46:5eec); readvar VAR_PARTYCOUNT is a real read (World.lua:1271); givepoke is implemented at Vm.lua:443. The full dependency chain has never run: Surf across the 1F Outside lake, the in-cave Waterfall climb to warp 4 at (17,5), the 2F/1F-inside/B1F warp descent, the battle, and the gift. The waterfall climb mechanic itself is bot-verified only at Tohjo Falls; route.lua contains no MORTAR/KIYO/DARK_CAVE rows.
*How to prove it:* A Mount Mortar driver: Surf the outside lake, Waterfall to warp 4 (17,5), descend to B1F, beat Kiyo, assert Tyrogue (species 236, L10) given with a party of <6 and events 97/1193 set.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new. Correction embedded: GOLD-INDEX's claim that only VAR_WEEKDAY and VAR_FACING answer readvar is STALE; World.lua:1265-1330 now answers essentially every VAR_*.
### Blackglasses pharmacist in Dark Cave Blackthorn entrance extracted exactly, never run (same for TM13 Snore and Revive balls)
walkthrough section(s) 15 | unverified
The script is fully extracted (cache scripts['47:436c'], 13 rows matching pokegold maps/DarkCaveBlackthornEntrance.asm exactly: checkevent / verbosegiveitem / iffalse pack-full arm / setevent), the spinning NPC object (SPRITE_PHARMACIST) is in the cache at (7,3) with that scriptKey, and verbosegiveitem is implemented in the VM. Reaching him also needs Flash plus Surf inside the cave, both implemented. The same unverified state covers the TM13 Snore and Revive item balls beside him (item ball arm is implemented and tested). No driver enters Dark Cave and the bot route bypasses it (grep DARK_CAVE in route.lua is empty).
*How to prove it:* A Dark Cave driver: Flash + Surf to the Blackthorn entrance, talk to the pharmacist (assert Blackglasses given), pick up TM13 Snore and the Revives.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Master Ball from Elm after eighth badge: route rows exist but optional, no run log confirms the event ever set
walkthrough section(s) 16 | unverified
ProfElmScript's ElmCheckMasterBall gate is checkflag ENGINE_RISINGBADGE then verbosegiveitem MASTER_BALL then setevent EVENT_GOT_MASTER_BALL_FROM_ELM (pokegold maps/ElmsLab.asm:57-61). All generic extracted bytecode; checkflag over ENGINE_* badges works since the badge-store fix (GOLD-WALK-HANDOFF.md:502, badges routed into save.player.badges). The route bot has rows 16.24/16.24b for this beat but both are marked optional = true, and no run log or handoff note confirms EVENT_GOT_MASTER_BALL_FROM_ELM was ever actually set in a live run (no MASTER hits in GOLD-NEXT-RUN.md run logs). A full bag silently skips the setevent (verbosegiveitem iffalse), same as the cart.
*How to prove it:* Make route rows 16.24/16.24b non-optional (or run them) and assert EVENT_GOT_MASTER_BALL_FROM_ELM set with bag space available.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/major, new.
### Everstone from Elm by showing a self-hatched Togepi: pieces individually proven, full chain never exercised end to end
walkthrough section(s) 16 | unverified
The gating special FindPartyMonThatSpeciesYourTrainerID is a real handler with the own-OT check (Specials.lua:1134), and the phone-call prerequisite is NOT required: pokegold maps/ElmsLab.asm ElmCheckTogepiEgg -> EVENT_TOGEPI_HATCHED -> ElmEggHatchedScript re-runs the same species scan, so a hatched Togepi in the party is sufficient (maps/ElmsLab.asm:62-95, engine/phone/scripts/elm.asm:46). Egg hatching has a driver (tests/drivers/gold_egg_hatch.lua) and PC withdraw exists (BoxMenu.lua / PcMenu.lua). The full chain (hatch with your OT, withdraw, talk, EVENT_SHOWED_TOGEPI_TO_ELM, verbosegiveitem EVERSTONE) has never run end to end. The .egghatched arm of ElmPhoneCalleeScript (sets EVENT_TOLD_ELM_ABOUT_TOGEPI_OVER_THE_PHONE) lives in the bank $41 callee scripts and only matters for the alternate entry path. No route row exists for the Everstone.
*How to prove it:* A driver chaining gold_egg_hatch-style hatching (own OT), PC withdraw, and the Elm talk, asserting EVENT_SHOWED_TOGEPI_TO_ELM and EVERSTONE in bag.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### TM37 Sandstorm happiness gate at the Route 27 house never exercised; gate is first-slot happiness >= 150
walkthrough section(s) 16 | unverified
The granny's script is extracted (cache scripts['60:6352'], 9 rows: checkevent, special id 88, ifgreater, sjump into the loyal/disloyal arms) and special id 88 resolves through constants.specialOrder with the VM's order[id+1] rule (Vm.lua:1773) to specialOrder[89] = GetFirstPokemonHappiness, a real handler at Specials.lua:1506 reading the first non-egg party member. The cart gate is happiness >= 150 on the FIRST party slot (ifgreater 150-1), not 'one of your Pokemon'. Happiness accrues via Happiness.lua stepped from StepEvents. No driver or bot row enters ROUTE_27_SANDSTORM_HOUSE.
*How to prove it:* Driver: enter ROUTE_27_SANDSTORM_HOUSE with a first-slot mon at happiness >= 150 and assert TM37 given; also assert the disloyal arm below 150.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Route 27 whirlpool island (Bird Keeper Jose, TM22 Solarbeam, Rare Candy) and Tohjo Falls Moon Stone never run; whirlpool mechanic only proven on Route 41
walkthrough section(s) 16 | unverified
The whirlpool mechanic is implemented and driver-verified, but on Route 41, not here: tests/drivers/gold_water_moves.lua:105-124 clears a real whirlpool block with GLACIERBADGE gating and asserts the block replacement. The Route 27 island content is all in the cache (TM_SOLARBEAM ball at (60,12) item id 213 with event flag, Rare Candy ball at (53,12), BIRD_KEEPER[14] JOSE = L35 FARFETCH_D with phone contact rows; maps.ROUTE_27 objects rows 6-8) and the item ball arm is implemented, but the bot route crosses Route 27 only via Tohjo Falls and never surfs south past Gilbert (route rows 16.42-16.43 skip the south water), so this specific whirlpool, the Jose fight, and the TM22 pickup have never run. Same for the Tohjo Falls MOON_STONE ball at (2,6) (maps.TOHJO_FALLS object 1), which the walkthrough itself never mentions.
*How to prove it:* Driver or route rows: surf south past Gilbert, clear the Route 27 whirlpool, fight Jose, collect TM22 and the Rare Candy; separately pick up the Tohjo Falls Moon Stone.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Route 26 heal house free heal extracted with all specials real, never entered
walkthrough section(s) 16 | unverified
The teacher's script is extracted (cache scripts['60:60e6'], 17 rows) and every special id in it resolves via order[id+1] to a real handler: 47 FadeOutToBlack, 50 ReloadSpritesNoPalettes, 27 HealParty, 49 FadeInFromBlack, 60 RestartMapMusic (Specials.lua:450, :999, :1025, and the fade-in/restart pair at :1059). Unconditional and repeatable like the cart. No driver or bot row ever enters ROUTE_26_HEAL_HOUSE; the bot route's Route 26 leg is a single travel row straight to the gate.
*How to prove it:* Driver: enter ROUTE_26_HEAL_HOUSE with a damaged party, talk, assert full heal and that the scene is repeatable.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.
### Victory Road item pickups (TM26 Earthquake pit, Full Restore shelf, Max Revive, Full Heal, X Special, two hidden items) never exercised
walkthrough section(s) 17 | unverified
The walkthrough collects five Poke Ball items (TM26 Earthquake via the one-way pit at (0,11), Full Restore on the ledge shelf via the (17,19) ladder, Max Revive and Full Heal in the entrance region, X Special on the HOP_LEFT column) plus two hidden items (Max Potion at (3,29), Full Heal at (3,65)). All pieces exist: cache maps.VICTORY_ROAD carries 6 objects (5 with itemball item/qty payloads), 2 bgEvents with hiddenItem tables, 10 warps, 2 coord events; World:interact consumes obj.itemball (World.lua:5483-5490, an earlier bot-found fix); HiddenItems handles BGEVENT_ITEM; Permissions models the COLL_PIT one-way warp, the six ladders, ledge hops (isLedge/ledgeFacings, Gold's own direction order where $a0 is HOP_RIGHT), and COLL_UP_WALL side walls (Permissions.lua:170-260 LEDGE_FACINGS/SIDE_BLOCKS/NEIGHBOR_ARM), with a test section at tests/gen2_world_test.lua:2936. But nothing has walked these routes: the bot's section 17 is only travel/walk rows 17.2, 17.11, 17.15 (no pickup rows), so the pit drop, the two HOP exits from the TM pocket, the HOP_DOWN off the shelf, and the X Special ball sitting ON a HOP_LEFT tile (the one placement the asm-walk flags as needing hardware confirmation) are all unproven end to end.
*How to prove it:* Driver or route rows through Victory Road collecting all five balls and both hidden items, specifically exercising the (0,11) pit drop, the (17,19) ladder shelf with HOP_DOWN exit, the two HOP exits from the TM pocket, and interaction with the X Special ball on its HOP_LEFT tile.
*Notes:* Doc rating: unverified/minor, new.

# Build a PortMaster aarch64 port of gen1recomp for Linux ARM SBC handhelds.
# The package uses PortMaster control hooks and a self-contained LÖVE runtime,
# while keeping paths relative to the launcher for broad CFW compatibility.
#
# The launcher uses SHDIR-relative paths and bundles the LÖVE 11.5 aarch64
# runtime so the device does not need a separate runtime download on first launch.
#
# Usage:
# ./build-linux-arm-sbc.sh [--version X.Y.Z]
# GEN1RECOMP_SOURCE_DIR="$PWD" ./build-linux-arm-sbc.sh --version X.Y.Z
# ./build-linux-arm-sbc.sh --source /path/to/gen1recomp --version X.Y.Z
#
# Output:
# dist/linux-arm-sbc/gen1recomp-sbc-portmaster.zip
#
# Install on device:
# 1. Install PortMaster for the handheld firmware.
# 2. Unzip into the device's PortMaster ports folder so you have:
# Roms/Ports (PORTS)/gen1recomp-sbc.sh
# Roms/Ports (PORTS)/gen1recomp-sbc/...
# 3. Copy a legal US Red or Blue .gb into Roms/Ports (PORTS)/gen1recomp-sbc/lovegame/
# 4. Launch "gen1recomp-sbc" from the Ports list; press Choose ROM (scans that
# folder when zenity is missing).

## gen1recomp-sbc (Linux ARM SBC / PortMaster)
Native LÖVE 11.5 aarch64 PortMaster port of gen1recomp for compatible Linux ARM SBC handhelds, including H700-class devices. This pack was built from source release **__SOURCE_TAG__**.
### Install
1. Install PortMaster for your handheld firmware.
2. Unzip so `gen1recomp-sbc.sh` and the `gen1recomp-sbc/` folder are siblings in the device's PortMaster ports directory.
3. Copy a legal US Pokémon Red or Blue `.gb` into `gen1recomp-sbc/lovegame/`.
4. Refresh the launcher and launch **gen1recomp-sbc** from Ports.
### Controls
| Input | Action |
|--|--|
| D-pad | Move cursor |
| A | Click |
| L1 / R1 | Switch tabs |
| Start / Select | Play or choose ROM |
Controls use the normal PortMaster / SDL pad map. Device-specific power/suspend behavior is supplied by the firmware and PortMaster runtime.
### First run
Put the `.gb` in `lovegame/`, then press **Choose ROM**. After import, the ROM-derived cache and saves stay beside the game (`portable.txt`).
### Thanks
LÖVE runtime binaries from [PortMaster](https://portmaster.games/). PortMaster device support and runtime integration are maintained by the PortMaster team.

# Behavior porting notes
What was ported from pokered's engine code and where it came from.
## Overworld
- **Collision rule** (`home/overworld.asm` tile-in-front checks): a 16x16
cell is passable when its bottom-left 8x8 tile is in the tileset's
`coll_tiles` list. Verified against Pallet Town's fences/houses/water
and Oak's Lab furniture.
- **Warp activation** (`home/overworld.asm` CheckWarpsNoCollision /
ExtraWarpCheck): a warp fires when arriving on a warp whose standing
tile is in the tileset's door or warp tile list, or when standing on a
warp and walking off the map edge (interior exit mats). Both paths are
data-driven from `door_tile_ids.asm` / `warp_tile_ids.asm`.
- **LAST_MAP warps** return to the remembered outdoor map/position, like
`wLastMap`.
- **Connections** (`map_header` connection directives): crossing an edge
places the player at `destCoord = curCoord - offset*2` cells on the
destination's opposite edge.
- **Movement**: tile-by-tile, 1 px/frame at 60 fps (16 frames per step),
tap-to-turn without stepping, hold-to-walk, input locked mid-step.
- **Wild encounters** (`engine/battle/wild_encounters.asm`): per grass
step, encounter iff `rand(0..255) < rate`; slot picked via the
cumulative buckets 51/102/141/166/191/216/229/242/253/256.
- **Initial object visibility** from `toggleable_objects.asm` (e.g. Oak
hidden in his lab), with `show_object`/`hide_object` script commands
persisting to the save like the missable-object bits.
## Pokémon math (`engine/pokemon/calc_stats.asm`, `experience.asm`)
- `stat = floor(((base + DV)*2 + floor(sqrt(statExp)/4)) * L / 100) + 5`
(HP: `+ L + 10`); HP DV from the low bits of the other four DVs.
- Growth curves use the exact cubic coefficients (MEDIUM_SLOW =
1.2n^3 - 15n^2 + 100n - 140, etc).
- Exp gain = `floor(baseExp * level / 7)` (x1.5 for trainer battles);
defeated species' base stats accumulate as stat experience.
## Battle core (`engine/battle/core.asm`)
- Damage: `floor(floor(2L(x2 crit)/5 + 2) * power * atk / def / 50)`
capped at 997, `+2`, STAB x1.5, per-matchup type multipliers applied
sequentially (x10 fixed point), then `rand(217..255)/255` when
damage > 1.
- Critical hits: `rand(0..255) < baseSpeed/2` (x4 for Karate Chop, Razor
Leaf, Crabhammer, Slash, capped 255); crits double level and ignore
stat stages (gen1_faithful ruleset).
- Accuracy: `rand(0..255) < floor(acc*255/100)` after accuracy/evasion
stages, including the 1/256 miss at 100% accuracy (toggleable via the
`modern_clean` ruleset).
- Stat stages use the 25/28/33/40/50/66/100/150/.../400 multiplier table
(`data/battle/stat_modifiers.asm`).
- Physical/special split by type (special = Water/Grass/Fire/Ice/
Electric/Psychic/Dragon).
- Status: paralysis speed/4 and 25% full para, burn halves physical
attack, poison/burn residual = maxHP/16, sleep 1-7 turns waking on the
lost turn, freeze permanent (as in Gen 1).
- Turn order: effective speed, coin-flip ties; Quick Attack first,
Counter last (Gen 1's only priorities).
- Run formula (`TryRunningFromBattle`): always escape if faster,
otherwise `floor(pSpd*32 / (eSpd/4)) + 30*attempts` vs `rand(0..255)`.
- Catching (`ItemUseBall`): ball-specific rand ranges (255/200/150),
status bonus 25/12, second roll `floor(maxHP*255/ballFactor) /
floor(HP/4)` capped 255.
- Prize money: class base money x last defeated mon's level
(`pic_pointers_money.asm`).
## Battle move effects (engine/battle/core.asm, move_effects/*)
- Mimic via Metronome (effects.asm:1203-1273): MimicEffect's
.letPlayerChooseMove branch snapshots wCurrentMenuItem before the
copy-picker menu opens and restores it afterward as the write index
into wBattleMonMoves. Since SelectMenuItem always writes
wCurrentMenuItem/wPlayerMoveListIndex together at the FIGHT-menu
confirm and nothing (including MetronomePickMove) touches either
variable during mid-move resolution, the reused value is always the
calling move's own slot, BattleState.lua's applyMimic fallback uses
self.moveIndex, frozen the same way, so a called Mimic (e.g. from
METRONOME in slot 3) overwrites the calling move's own slot, keeping
its PP, matching the Gen 1 quirk exactly.
- Multi-hit distribution 2/2/2/3/3/3/4/5 over rand(0..7); all hits reuse
the first damage roll (faithful).
- Recoil = damage/4 (Struggle /2); drain/Dream Eater heal = damage/2;
Dream Eater requires sleep.
- Fixed damage: SonicBoom 20, Dragon Rage 40, Seismic Toss/Night Shade =
level, Psywave rand(1 .. 1.5xlevel-1).
- OHKO deals 65535, fails against faster targets; Swift skips accuracy;
Jump Kick crash = 1 damage on miss; Explosion halves defense and
faints the user even on a miss; Hyper Beam skips recharge if it KOs.
- Charge moves (incl. Fly's invulnerable turn), trapping moves locking
the victim out of its turns, Thrash's 3-4 turn lock ending in
confusion, Bide's 2-3 turn store-and-double, Rage's permanent lock
with attack-up on being hit, Counter/Quick Attack priority.
- Side-effect chances: 26/256 (10%), 77/256 (30%), stat-down side
effects 85/256; Twineedle 20% poison.
- Substitute costs 1/4 max HP, absorbs damage, blocks status/stat/side
effects; screens double effective defense (bypassed by crits); Focus
Energy keeps the Gen 1 quarter-rate bug under gen1_faithful.
- Status: sleep 1-7 turns (wake turn is lost), freeze permanent, burn
halves physical attack, paralysis speed/4 + 25% full para, Toxic's
rising counter, Leech Seed transfer, confusion 2-5 turns with 50%
40-power typeless self-hit.
- Trainer Pokémon use fixed DVs 9/8/8/8 (TrainerAI.asm convention).
## Items (engine/items/item_effects.asm)
- Potion family 20/50/200/full; drinks 50/60/80; status heals per item;
Revive half HP; Rare Candy = exact next-level exp with HP delta kept;
evolution stones use the extracted evos data; TMs single-use / HMs
reusable, gated by the species' real tmhm list; Repel 100/200/250
steps blocking wilds below the lead's level; Escape Rope returns to
the last heal point.
- Snorlax (Route 12/16) only wakes via `ItemUsePokeFlute` (item-use
menu, adjacent to it, not yet beaten), talking to it with the POKé
FLUTE merely in the bag has no effect (`engine/items/item_effects.asm`,
`scripts/Route12.asm`/`Route16.asm`).
- Mart inventories come from the script_mart lists per clerk; selling
pays half price; TM prices from tm_prices.asm.
## Overworld field systems
- Ledges from ledge_tiles.asm (facing + standing tile + ledge tile +
input direction -> two-cell hop).
- Counter talk-through uses the tileset's counter tiles
(tileset_headers.asm), which is how mart clerks and nurses work.
- Trainer sight (`home/trainers.asm` CheckFightingMapTrainers +
`engine/overworld/trainer_sight.asm`): extracted per-trainer range,
inclusive tiles along the facing line; detection runs only on
tile-aligned frames, before input handling, so on detection the d-pad
is dead (wJoyIgnore) and the player freezes on the spotted tile; the
"!" holds 60 frames (EmotionBubble), then the trainer walks
distance1 steps to the adjacent tile (none if already adjacent) and
uses the real battle/won/after dialogue from the trainer headers.
Sight is a pure screen-coordinate comparison with no line-of-sight
obstruction check (TrainerEngage / CheckSpriteCanSeePlayer): an
aligned in-range trainer engages through interposed NPCs and
unwalkable tiles, and the walk-up (TrainerWalkUpToPlayer, a fixed
distance1 MoveSprite_ script) has no collision either, so the
trainer simply walks/overlaps through anything on the line, as OAM
sprites overlap on hardware.
- Elevator rides (`engine/overworld/elevator.asm` ShakeElevator →
`src/world/ElevatorShake.lua`): choosing a floor stops the music,
bounces the BG scroll ±1 px around rest for 100 two-frame cycles with
SFX_COLLISION retriggered every cycle, restores the scroll, plays
SFX_SAFARI_ZONE_PA to completion, and restarts the map theme before
the floor warp. Lead-in delays kept per script: 9 frames of Delay3s
inside ShakeElevator (Celadon farjps in), 12 with the Silph/Rocket
scripts' extra Delay3. The offset applies to the BG layer only,
sprites are OAM and stay put. After the ride the port no longer
jump-cuts: choosing a floor rewrites the car's own exit-warp entries
to that floor (`engine/events/elevator.asm` DisplayElevatorFloorMenu
.UpdateWarp, per scripts/SilphCoElevator.asm /
CeladonMartElevator.asm / RocketHideoutElevator.asm), then the player
is walked out through the doorway onto that warp (ow:scriptMove →
ow:takeWarp), like the original.
- Field-move gates (engine/overworld/field_move_messages.asm +
start_sub_menus.asm): IsSurfingAllowed ported exactly, SURF refuses
with _CyclingIsFunText while the Cycling Road's BIT_ALWAYS_ON_BIKE is
armed (save.forcedBike: set on the Route 16/18 forced-bike tiles,
cleared by the gates, Fly, dungeon/blackout warps; the forced mount
itself is silent, as in CheckForceBikeOrSurf) and with
_CurrentTooFastText on Seafoam B4F's stairs square (7,11) until both
EVENT_SEAFOAM4 boulders are down. Re-selecting SURF while surfing is
ItemUseSurfboard's dismount attempt: steps ashore silently if the
facing tile is land-passable and unoccupied, else "There's no place
to get off!", and the menu closes either way (wActionResult stays 1).
STRENGTH's first page auto-advances after the cry + Delay3 (no
prompt); "can move boulders." prompts. The GBPalWhiteOutWithDelay3
white blink plays on every .goBackToMap closer: Strength, surf
mount/dismount/no-place, Flash (after its text), and Dig/Teleport
(Cut closes without a blink, per the asm).
- Wild slot table + rate per map; water encounter tables used while
surfing.
- Cut-tree block swaps from cut_tree_blocks.asm; surfable tilesets from
water_tilesets.asm (water tile $14, plus $32 on SHIP_PORT).
## Story events (data/scripts/story.lua and friends)
- Every hand-ported script cites its scripts/*.asm source and reuses the
real extracted text and event-flag names.
- Custom flag names (audited equivalent): three port-internal flag
families have no pokered EVENT constant but mirror the original's
state exactly. EVENT_TRADED_* are per-trade names for
wCompletedInGameTradeFlags bits (engine/events/in_game_trades.asm:
FLAG_TEST before the offer → after-trade text, FLAG_SET on completion;
dialogset text families, party-menu pick, the received mon joins the
end of the party, ConnectCable→anim→TradedFor→Thanks all ported).
EVENT_GOT_EEVEE is bookkeeping alongside the real guard, the hidden
ball object (scripts/CeladonMansionRoofHouse.asm HideObject, ≡
save.objectToggles), and self-heals older saves; a full party+box
keeps the ball claimable (_BoxIsFullText). EVENT_BEAT_SS_ANNE_RIVAL
stands in for scripts/SSAnne2F.asm's saved wSSAnne2FCurScript NOOP
progression, including the lose-and-retrigger path (flag only set on
victory). Names are kept for save compatibility. Coverage:
tests/parity_trade_gift.lua.
- The Pallet Town intro follows pokered exactly: the trigger is
PalletTownDefaultScript's wYCoord==1 check, Oak appears at (8,5) and
takes FindPathToPlayer's zigzag to one tile below the player, and the
escort is RLEList_ProfOakWalkToLab against the reverse-order playback
of RLEList_PlayerWalkToLab (the 17th simulated press is eaten by the
door-warp frame), followed by the OaksLab walk-in and choose-mon
exchange with map music deferred like BIT_NO_MAP_MUSIC. Oak's speech
ends with the real shrink: RedPicFront collapses through the extracted
ShrinkPic1/ShrinkPic2 into the overworld walking sprite on
OakSpeech.asm's frame timings (SFX_SHRINK, 4/4/20/50-frame beats, fade
to white), with the closing text box held on screen. The escort's
scripted steps run 16 frames/tile (chained single-tile scriptMoves
start back-to-back, no idle frame); Oak marches in place on the door
mat for RLEList_ProfOakWalkToLab's trailing NPC_CHANGE_FACING beat
(movement.asm ChangeFacingDirection → zero-delta TryWalking); the "!"
EmotionBubble overlaps the still-shown "Hey! Wait!" box
(PalletTownOakText prints without a button wait, then DelayFrames 10 →
EmotionBubble before the box clears); and the shrink beat ramps the
music to silence over ~70 frames (wAudioFadeOutControl = 10;
home/fade_audio.asm FadeOutAudio steps rAUDVOL 7→0) rather than
hard-stopping.
- The 12 disguised static wild battles (Power Plant Voltorb/Electrode +
Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mewtwo) follow TalkToTrainer/
EndTrainerBattle exactly: cry + battle text, after-battle text without
a rematch once EVENT_BEAT_* is set, and the flag/HideObject on any
non-blackout result (fleeing loses the legendary, as in Gen 1).
Snorlax hides before its battle and only shows the calmed-down/
returned line when not caught. Zapdos/Articuno/Moltres/Mewtwo's
battle text is a text_far string ending in a bare "...@" terminator
(no <DONE>/<PROMPT>) followed by text_asm PlayCry + WaitForSoundToFinish:
the box types with no ▼ prompt and auto-closes only once the cry
finishes, never on a button press, ported via `Commands.play_cry`
stashing the pending cry for the following `Commands.show_text` to
consume as the TextBox's auto-close sound. Voltorb/Electrode's battle
text has no PlayCry call in the ROM at all and keeps the ordinary
button-wait close.
- Gym leader repeat dialogue (data/scripts/gyms.lua): each leader's
text_asm branches on EVENT_BEAT_<LEADER>, pre-badge talk prints the
pre-battle text and engages the leader battle (badge/TM via
data/scripts/victories.lua); post-badge talk prints the leader's
post-battle advice text (Misty's is her TM11 explanation). The
originals' middle branch (beaten but TM not handed over,
CheckEventReuseA EVENT_GOT_TM*) is ported too: the victory's GiveItem
goes through the bag's capacity check, a full bag shows the leader's
"make room" text instead of the received lines and leaves
EVENT_GOT_TM* unset, and talking to the leader re-runs the ReceiveTM
script until the TM goes in (#797). Giovanni's
farewell (`ViridianGymGiovanniText` .afterBeat) hides him inside a
fade-to-black/fade-in Transition matching ViridianGym.asm's
GBFadeOutToBlack → HideObject → GBFadeInFromBlack, persisted
permanently via TOGGLE_VIRIDIAN_GYM_GIOVANNI in save.objectToggles.
- Cable Club receptionists (TX_SCRIPT_CABLE_CLUB_RECEPTIONIST →
CableClubNPC, all 12 Pokémon Centers): welcome, pre-Pokédex "making
preparations" brush-off, and the apply/save YES-NO are ported;
accepting saves the game and opens the link menu, declining prints
"Please come again!".
- Cinnabar fossil deposit follows GiveFossilToCinnabarLab: a menu of
carried fossils (FossilsList order), SeesFossilText with a Yes/No
confirm, ComeAgainText on either cancel.
- Hall of Fame induction: each party mon's front sprite scrolls in from
the left at 4px/frame, matching HoFShowMonOrPlayer's .ScrollPic
front-pic phase (engine/movie/hall_of_fame.asm); the back-pic's
enlarged/blurred pre-wipe is a VRAM-scroll-register trick not
replicated in this sprite-based renderer. The finale
(HoFDisplayPlayerStats) shows trainer name, play time, money, POKéDEX
seen/owned, and Prof. Oak's rating text (engine/events/
pokedex_rating.asm DexRatingsTable) from real save data.
- End credits + post-game reset (engine/movie/credits.asm,
scripts/HallOfFame.asm): screen-by-screen CreditsOrder pages (hlcoord
9,6 + signed columns), FadeInCredits' 4x5-frame ramp, 90/110/120/140-
frame holds, DisplayCreditsMon's 27-frame 8px/frame silhouette wipe,
LoadCopyrightTiles' three-row block, THE END at (4,8). While THE END
is up the HoF script autosaves (wLastBlackoutMap := PALLET_TOWN; the
player is saved in the HALL_OF_FAME room), waits 600 frames, then A/B
triggers `jp Init`, the boot sequence replays into the title screen.
- Victory Road's boulder switches replicate the original's
ReplaceTileBlock data: 1F boulder at (17,13) -> block $1D at (4,6);
2F boulders at (1,16)/(9,16) -> $15 at (3,4) and $1D at (11,7); 3F
boulder at (3,5) -> $1D at (3,5), and the (23,15) hole drops the
boulder to 2F (hide/show toggle). Barriers are re-applied from flags
on map entry, exactly like the originals' map-load scripts.
- Item balls, static legendary encounters and trainer rewards
(badges + gym TMs, the Silph Giovanni flag) are generic systems driven
by the extracted object args and a hand-ported reward table
(data/scripts/victories.lua).
- In-game trades use the real data/events/trades.asm table (species in,
species out, original nickname).
## Safari game (engine/events/hidden_events/safari_game.asm + engine/battle)
- ¥500 buys 30 SAFARI BALLs and 502 steps (scripts/SafariZoneGate.asm
sets `wSafariSteps = 502`); steps count down on the four outdoor zone
maps and hitting 0 (or throwing the last ball) ends the game at the
gate.
- Safari battles offer BALL / BAIT / ROCK / RUN; no player Pokémon
acts. The working catch rate starts at the species rate; BAIT halves
it and adds 1-5 to the bait factor (zeroing the escape factor); ROCK
doubles it (cap 255) and adds 1-5 to the escape factor (zeroing bait)
-- ItemUseBait/ItemUseRock in engine/items/item_effects.asm.
- Each turn one factor decays ("is eating!" / "is angry!"); when the
escape factor decays to 0 the catch rate resets to the species rate
(PrintSafariZoneBattleText, engine/battle/safari_zone.asm).
- Flee check (engine/battle/core.asm): `b = 2 * (speed % 256)`; the mon
always flees when speed > 127; while eating `b /= 4`, while angry
`b = min(255, 2b)`; it flees when `rand(0,255) < b`.
- The SAFARI BALL rolls the ULTRA_BALL rand range (0-150) in the Gen 1
catch formula, against the BAIT/ROCK-modified rate.
## Slot machines (engine/slots/slot_machine.asm)
- The three reels are the extracted 18-symbol wheel sequences
(data/events/slot_machine_wheels.asm); bet 1 plays the middle row,
bet 2 adds top+bottom, bet 3 adds both diagonals.
- Payouts: 7-7-7 = 300, BAR = 100, CHERRY = 8, MOUSE/FISH/BIRD = 15
(SlotRewardPointers).
- Per-wheel stop/slip rules ported exactly: wheel 1 spends up to 4 slip
charges, slipping past a centred CHERRY (in seven-and-bar mode it
always slips all 4 via pokered's `cp HIGH(SLOTS7)` bug); wheel 2 stops
as soon as wheels 1+2 line up any potential match (pairs checked b/b,
b/m, m/m, t/m, t/t) or, in seven-and-bar mode, on 7/BAR; wheel 3 rolls
past forbidden matches free and burns wSlotMachineRerollCounter
charges on winnable no-match spins, animated tile-by-tile. Luck flags
(SetFlags): seven-and-bar mode is sticky across spins; r==0 arms 60
allow-matches charges; a BAR win clears flags; a 300 win zeroes the
counter and clears flags with probability 128/256; 8/15 wins burn one
charge. Lines are checked in asm order with the first match taken;
A-presses are ignored while a prior wheel's slip counter is nonzero.
Machine and COIN CASE texts are byte-identical
(_GameCorner*Text; AbleToPlaySlotsCheck's no-coins gate included).
- Flow brackets: PromptUserToPlaySlots "A slot machine! Want to play?"
(YesNoChoice) and MainSlotMachineLoop's "One more go?" (TwoOptionMenu);
the x3/x2/x1 coin menu (CoinMultiplierSlotMachineText) defaults its
cursor to x3, bet = 3 - menu item. Static frame: the real
SlotMachineMap (gfx/slots/slots.tilemap, 20x12 tile ids < $25) blitted
from red_slots_1.png, extracted as field.slotSymbols.tilemap
(tools/extract/gfx.py extract_slots). Win flash:
SlotMachine_CheckForMatches.flashScreenLoop flips rBGP (shade 3->2) b
times at 5 frames each, b = 20/8/4/2 for the 300/100/15/8 rewards
(SlotReward{300,100,8,15}Func). Payout drip:
SlotMachine_PayCoinsToPlayer credits one coin every 8 frames (4 for a
7/BAR), SFX_SLOTS_REWARD per coin, rOBP0 symbol flicker every 5 coins.
## Spinner arrow tiles (scripts/*.asm arrow movement tables)
- Viridian Gym and Rocket Hideout B2F/B3F keep per-coordinate RLE
movement lists (map_coord_movement); each list executes backwards
from its terminator (DecodeArrowMovementRLE), sliding the player and
chaining onto further arrows.
## Cries (data/pokemon/cries.asm, audio/engine_1.asm)
- Each species = a base cry (one of 38 SFX_CryXX streams) + a frequency
modifier added to every note's frequency register
(Audio1_ApplyFrequencyModifier) + a tempo modifier
(`sfx tempo = $80 + length`, Audio1_SetSfxTempo). All 151 cries are
rendered offline with those modifiers applied and play on battle
entry and Pokédex pages.
## Hidden events & facility puzzles
- Card key doors (engine/events/card_key.asm): door tiles $18/$24
(SILPH_CO_11F: $5e) replaced with block $0e ($03 on 11F).
- Vermilion trash cans
(engine/events/hidden_events/vermilion_gym_trash.asm): the first-lock
can re-rolls on every Vermilion City map load (VermilionCity_Script's
Random & $e, even cans) and after every failed second-can guess; the
second lock uses the GymTrashCans table verbatim, including the
underflow bug that can place it in can 0 regardless of adjacency; a
wrong pick resets EVENT_1ST_LOCK_OPENED and re-rolls immediately; only
SuccessText3 prints on completion; the gym door block at (2,2) is
$24 closed / $5 open (scripts/VermilionGym.asm). SuccessText1/
SuccessText3/FailText play SFX_SWITCH/GO_INSIDE/DENIED from each
text's text_asm tail after the text prints (DisplayTextID's
WaitForTextScrollButtonPress then holds the box), so the port fires
them from an onDone on the TextBox, landing the beep as the box
closes rather than as it opens.
- Menu close-keys follow pokered's per-menu wMenuWatchedKeys mask, not
a single global rule: the shared Menu base (src/ui/Menu.lua) closes
on B only, and START-close is opt-in via opts.startCloses. Only the
start menu sets it, matching engine/menus/draw_start_menu.asm's
PAD_DOWN|PAD_UP|PAD_START|PAD_B|PAD_A; OptionsMenu also closes on
START via its own loop, matching engine/menus/main_menu.asm
DisplayOptionMenu's explicit B_PAD_B/B_PAD_START checks. Every other
menu (bag/PC item lists PAD_A|PAD_B|PAD_SELECT, party menu /
BUY-SELL-QUIT / USE-TOSS submenu / PC menus / Pokedex side menu
PAD_A|PAD_B) leaves PAD_START unwatched, so START does not close
them. START never replays SFX_PRESS_AB (HandleMenuInput_ beeps only
for the PAD_A|PAD_B branch).
- Old man tutorial hollow cursor: the item list is itself scripted in
pokered (DisplayListMenuID's old-man branch, home/list_menu.asm:65-91)
, no input is read; the filled '▶' hovers POKé BALL for 80 frames,
auto-presses A, then PlaceUnfilledArrowMenuCursor leaves the hollow
'▷' on that row until ItemUseBall tears the list down for the throw.
Ported via ListMenu's opts.script hook (src/ui/ListMenu.lua) and
BattleState:openOldManBag driving the same beats. The MissingNo./
wGrassRate side effects of the OLD MAN name swap are not modeled,
see docs/gameboy-hardware-limitations.md.
- Gym statues (gym_statues.asm): plaque with the city/leader from each
gym's script; the player joins WINNING TRAINERS with the badge.
- Route 22 gate / Route 23 guards: real trigger rows, badge order
(EARTH down to CASCADE) and EVENT_PASSED_*_CHECK skip flags.
- Game Corner poster (scripts/GameCorner.asm): block (8,2) $2a -> $43
on EVENT_FOUND_ROCKET_HIDEOUT.
- Seafoam Islands (scripts/SeafoamIslandsB3F/B4F.asm): reversed-RLE
current paths, Seafoam4HolesCoords boulder holes setting the
EVENT_SEAFOAM*_BOULDER*_DOWN_HOLE pairs, the forced pool exit rows.
- Rock Tunnel darkness: wMapPalOffset = 6 on entry, cleared by Flash
(BOULDERBADGE) or leaving (home/overworld.asm).
## Battle extras
- GROWL/ROAR (GetMoveSound/IsCryMove, engine/battle/animations.asm
~2196): the move's own MoveSoundTable tempo byte (Growl $c0, Roar
$40, both pitch $00) layers onto the cry via `Sound.playMoveCry`'s
`Source:setPitch(256/(128+tempoMod))`. Transform (engine/gfx/
palettes.asm DeterminePaletteID, bit TRANSFORMED): the swapped-in pic
is tinted PAL_GRAYMON via `PaletteFX.monPal(data, species,
transformed)`, not the copied species' own palette, in
`BattleState:speciesSprite`. Growl (DoGrowlSpecialEffects,
animations.asm ~928): AnimPlayer's GROWL frame-block branch keeps a
`growlNoteTrail` snapshot so each block's emitted sprites include the
previous block's note copy alongside the current one (GROWL skips
AnimationCleanOAM between blocks per the `cp GROWL` check ~line 145);
ROAR is unaffected since the asm never applies this quirk to it.
- Master/Ultra ball tosses flicker the OBJ palette: DoBallTossSpecial
Effects (engine/battle/animations.asm:685) XORs rOBP0 with %00111100
after every frame block while wCurItem <= ULTRA_BALL, so the 11 toss
blocks alternate the $F0/$CC shade maps starting normal; PlayAnimation
pushes/pops rOBP0 around each subanimation row, so the ambient
palette returns when the toss ends. GREAT/POKE/SAFARI balls never
flicker, and the toss arc always follows wCurItem via
TossBallAnimation, including the ghost-dodge throw.
- Anim-layer OBJ colorization is per 8x8 attribute cell: the SGB's
ATTR_BLK regions color the composited DMG picture per cell, not per
OAM entry, so an anim sprite overlapping a zone boundary takes each
cell's palette on the pixels inside it, AnimPlayer samples the zone
under every cell an 8x8 tile touches and repaints differing cells
through a cell-clipped scissor (aligned tiles stay one draw).
- Ball wobbles (ItemUseBall): Z = X*Y/255 + status2 with
Y = rate*100/ballFactor2; <10/<30/<70 -> 0/1/2 shakes, else 3, with
the matching ItemUseBallText01-04 lines.
- Trainer class AI (data/trainers/ai_pointers.asm +
engine/battle/trainer_ai.asm): per-class item/switch routines with
wAICount uses per Pokémon, ported to data/scripts/ai_classes.lua.
- Exp (engine/battle/experience.asm): baseExp*level/7 divided by the
participant count, x1.5 for trainers, x1.5 for traded mons; stat exp
in full to each participant.
- Move sounds: data/moves/sfx.asm (sound + pitch/tempo per move). The
pitch/tempo modifiers are applied at synthesis time
(Audio2_ApplyFrequencyModifier adds pitch to every frequency write;
Audio2_SetSfxTempo scales tone-channel note lengths, noise skips it),
128 variant WAVs keyed "<sfx>@<pitch><tempo>" that Sound.playMove
selects, exact rather than a playback-rate approximation. Per-row
sounds fire as PlayAnimation does; GROWL/ROAR (IsCryMove) play the
attacker's cry. Hit sounds by effectiveness (Damage/Super/NotVery).
- Screen-effect animations (engine/battle/animations.asm +
engine/gfx/screen_effects.asm): every SE_* is implemented per-routine,
FlashScreen/FlashScreenLong (the FlashScreenLongSGB 12-entry table),
Dark/Light/DarkenMon/Reset palette ops (shade-map permutations of the
SGB zone palettes), all SlideMon variants, ShakeBackAndForth,
BoundUpAndDown, SquishMonPic, Minimize (real MinimizedMonSprite),
spiral/shoot-balls/water-droplets/leaves emitters compiled from the
asm trajectories, per-animation-id frame-block flashes (Explosion,
Rock Slide's rumbles, Blizzard's cadence...), AnimationWavyScreen with
true per-scanline offsets, PredefShakeScreenHorizontally/Vertically
and ShakeEnemyHUD. SE rows carry the faithful blocking durations.
- SGB battle colorization (SetPal_Battle, BlkPacket_Battle,
SetAnimationPalette): the battle screen is colorized by zone, player
HUD, enemy HUD, player mon + message box, enemy mon; trainer front
pics and the player/old-man back pics take PAL_MEWMON (both species
IDs are zero at the intro, so MonsterPalettes[0]); the ghost keeps the
disguised species' palette; attack animation sprites and thrown balls
are colored through the OBJ palettes (wAnimPalette $F0 on SGB, ambient
$E4, OBP1 $6C). Headless/no-shader environments fall back to the flat
pipeline.
- Mimic resolves mid-move (MimicEffect): accuracy first, then the
player's copy menu (enemy/link copy a random slot); the copy
overwrites only the slot's move ID, PP is shared with Mimic's slot,
and reverts on switch/battle end.
- Old man tutorial (DisplayBattleMenu's BATTLE_TYPE_OLD_MAN branch): the
real scripted cursor, ▶ beside FIGHT for 80 frames, beside ITEM for
50, ITEM force-selected into the POKé BALL x50 list; the throw always
catches at full HP (item_effects.asm jumps straight to .captured, 3
shakes, no party/dex add, no ball consumed); backing out of the bag
replays the script. The old man never attacks, the original tutorial
is menu navigation + a guaranteed catch, nothing more.
## Link battles (lockstep)
- Both sides simulate with a shared Park-Miller RNG stream (host deals
the seed), identical pack/unpack-clamped party copies, no badge
boosts, and a mirrored speed-tie roll (the guest inverts it); a
canonical host-side-first state hash is exchanged per turn and any
mismatch ends the match as a draw.
## Music (audio/engine_1.asm)
- Note duration: `frames = length * speed * tempo / 0x100` with
fractional carry, at 60 fps (Audio1_note_length / CalculateDelay).
- Frequency: `reg = pitches[note] asr (octave - 1)` (CalculateFrequency;
the octave byte stores `8 - octave`), `f = 131072/(2048 - reg)` for
squares, halved for channel 3.
- note_type volume/fade renders as an NRx2-style envelope (step every
`fade/64` s); duty_cycle maps to 12.5/25/50/75% pulse widths;
sound_call/sound_loop honor the engine's one-level call stack and
loop counters.
## Text & font
- The Pokédex height row uses the real /″ tiles: gfx/pokedex/pokedex.png
tiles 0/1 are patched over font-extra slots $60/$61 exactly as
engine/gfx/load_pokedex_tiles.asm loads them over vChars2 (they replace
glyphs charmap.asm marks unused); ASCII `"` aliases to the closing-
quote glyph $73 so stray hand-written quotes render.
## Validation against the original
- `tests/run_tests.lua` pins hand-checked values: L5 Bulbasaur 19 HP /
9 Atk at 0 DVs, L100 Mewtwo 415 HP / 406 Spc at max DVs+statExp,
MEDIUM_SLOW(5) = 135, type chart spot checks, deterministic damage
rolls, Route 1 slot 1 = L3 Pidgey.
- The autopilot run reproduces the original's early flow on real map
data: Pallet sign text, lab door warp target (5,11), Oak's Lab exit by
walking off the mat, connection into Route 1 at matching x.

# Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal: A Systematic Engine, ASM, and Behavioral Comparison
## Executive summary
Pokémon Gold and Silver are best understood as **two data-configured builds of one engine**, whereas Pokémon Crystal is an **expanded, reorganized, Color-only derivative of that engine**. The `pret/pokegold` repository reproducibly builds the international Gold and Silver ROMs byte-for-byte, while `pret/pokecrystal` separately builds multiple international Crystal revisions and debug artifacts. This makes the two repositories unusually strong primary evidence: their output hashes correspond to known retail binaries rather than merely reimplementing observed behavior.
The largest technical conclusion is that Crystal is **not a ground-up engine rewrite**. Core subsystems (the frame-driven sound interpreter, hardware-derived RNG, synchronized link-battle PRNG, wild-encounter probability machinery, party-mon record size, and much of the RTC pipeline) remain recognizably inherited from Gold/Silver. Crystal instead adds new ROM banks, reorganizes routines, introduces Color-specific rendering paths, fills formerly reserved fields in Pokémon records, redesigns SRAM placement, and layers Battle Tower, Mobile System GB, animated sprites, the female protagonist, Buena, Move Tutor, Suicune story logic, and Virtual Console hooks around the inherited core.
The most important behavioral differences are therefore caused less by wholesale algorithm replacement than by **changed control flow and data**:
| Area | Gold and Silver | Crystal | Technical consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edition structure | One shared engine with edition-selected encounter, sprite, title, and other data | One enhanced-version build with regional/revision conditionals | Gold-to-Silver ports are mostly data substitutions; Gold/Silver-to-Crystal ports are architectural merges |
| Display target | Runtime distinguishes DMG/SGB/CGB modes | Explicit Color-only path | Crystal code can assume CGB palettes, VRAM banking, and related presentation behavior more aggressively |
| RNG core | Divider-register accumulator plus synchronized link PRNG | Same algorithms | Different outcomes normally arise from different call timing or paths, not a different generator |
| Party records | Two bytes after Pokérus are reserved | Those same bytes become caught-time/gender/level/location metadata | Pokémon records remain structurally compatible despite Crystal gaining metadata |
| Save layout | Main and backup data are fragmented among SRAM sections | Main and backup records become more contiguous; Crystal/Battle Tower/Mobile blocks are added | Whole `.sav` files are not drop-in interchangeable |
| Battles | Standard Gen II battle engine | Inherited engine plus Battle Tower branches and selective bug fixes | Link-compatible behavior is intentionally retained in some otherwise-fixed cases |
| Roaming Pokémon | Raikou, Entei, and Suicune use the roaming system | Only Raikou and Entei roam; Suicune becomes a scripted encounter | Encounter-state conversion requires special handling |
| Graphics | Static Pokémon fronts and DMG/SGB-compatible layouts | Animated fronts, revised sprites, richer Color layouts | Animation introduces new graphics data, decompression, frame, and timing requirements |
| Audio | Shared four-channel Game Boy music interpreter | Same interpreter plus new songs and call sites | Music ports are mostly data/pointer work rather than synthesizer rewrites |
| Major fixed defects | Coin Case arbitrary code execution, first-save Hall of Fame corruption, Lucky Number box limit, and several map/text defects | Corrected | Crystal is safer, but not "bug-fixed Gen II" in the broad sense |
| Persistent defects | Many Gen II battle, capture, item, and badge defects | Many remain | Mechanical compatibility often outweighed cleanup |
Gold and Silver themselves have almost no meaningful engine-level divergence. Their scientifically interesting comparison is principally **which tables and assets are selected at assembly time**. Crystal is the meaningful engine comparison.
The report assumes a technically literate audience familiar with low-level programming but not necessarily Game Boy internals. Unless explicitly stated, "Crystal" means the international English code represented by `pret/pokecrystal`; Japanese Mobile System GB and Australian/revision-specific behavior are treated as regional variants. "Scientific" here means reproducible binary-derived comparison, explicit source hierarchy, and separation of direct evidence from inference, not laboratory experimentation involving original development source code, which has not been publicly released.
## Scope, evidence, and reproducibility
### Source hierarchy
The strongest sources are the two pret disassemblies:
- [`pret/pokegold`](https://github.com/pret/pokegold), which builds exact Gold and Silver international ROM images.
- [`pret/pokecrystal`](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal), which builds Crystal international v1.0, v1.1, Australian, and debug images.
The repositories identify exact SHA-1 outputs. Gold builds to `d8b8a3600a465308c9953dfa04f0081c05bdcb94`, Silver to `49b163f7e57702bc939d642a18f591de55d92dae`, Crystal international v1.0 to `f4cd194bdee0d04ca4eac29e09b8e4e9d818c133`, and Crystal international v1.1 to `f2f52230b536214ef7c9924f483392993e226cfb`. Those reproducible identities are critical: a label such as `BadgeStatBoosts` is a reverse-engineered name, but the emitted bytes and resulting behavior are those of the retail ROM.
Secondary sources such as Bulbapedia and Serebii are useful for player-visible cross-checking, release differences, encounter availability, and historical context. The pret bug documents are stronger than ordinary wiki summaries for defects because they identify the responsible instructions and provide corrective diffs. Official Nintendo and Pokémon sources are most valuable for release/Virtual Console behavior and supported transfer paths, but they do not publish the games' assembly architecture.
### Reproducible comparison method
A rigorous comparison should operate at four levels:
| Level | Method | What it establishes | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binary identity | Build each repository with its pinned RGBDS-compatible toolchain and verify SHA-1 | The source corresponds to the target retail ROM | Does not explain why bytes differ |
| Source topology | Compare `main.asm`, `home.asm`, bank sections, include graphs, WRAM/SRAM declarations | Architectural additions, removals, and relocation | File organization can change without behavioral change |
| Routine semantics | Compare labels, branches, register use, calls, data offsets, and side effects | Control-flow and algorithmic differences | Labels and comments are community-derived |
| Behavioral validation | Run controlled emulator tests with trace logging and fixed input timing | Observable consequences and RNG/cycle sensitivity | Emulator accuracy and RTC state must be controlled |
For a formal experiment, the recommended independent variables are edition, ROM revision, initial SRAM, RTC register state, boot hardware mode, input sequence, and link mode. Dependent variables include RNG bytes, encounter choice, battle result, SRAM writes, audio commands, VRAM/OAM writes, and cycle/frame number. Because the ordinary RNG reads the divider register, deterministic comparisons must start from a controlled boot state and reproduce input timing at frame or cycle precision.
### Gold versus Silver as a build-configuration comparison
The fact that `pokegold` emits both Gold and Silver from one repository is itself strong evidence that the two versions share the same broad code architecture. Edition differences are implemented through conditional assembly and alternate data or assets rather than through separate engines. The obvious behavioral results are version-specific wild Pokémon, title graphics, mascot-facing presentation, and selected NPC or table data; battle arithmetic, saves, RTC processing, audio interpretation, and link handling come from the same shared source.
This distinction matters for analysis. Treating Gold, Silver, and Crystal as three equally separate engines exaggerates Gold/Silver differences and understates Crystal's structural changes. A better model is:
```mermaid

GSC[Generation II design and data model]
GS[Gold/Silver shared engine]

CR[Crystal revisions and regional flags]

```
## ROM and engine architecture
### Banked execution model
The games execute on the Game Boy's LR35902-class CPU and are organized around a fixed home bank plus switchable ROM banks. Calls across banks generally pass through wrappers that save the current bank, select the target bank, call the routine, and restore the original bank. The `BattleRandom` wrapper is a concise example: `_BattleRandom` resides outside the home bank, so the wrapper saves `hROMBank`, uses the bank-switch restart vector, calls the routine, preserves its return value, and restores the previous bank.
```asm
BattleRandom::
ldh a, [hROMBank]
push af
ld a, BANK(_BattleRandom)
rst Bankswitch
call _BattleRandom
...
pop af
rst Bankswitch
ret
```
Relevant sources: [Gold/Silver `home/random.asm`](https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/a0dad0957ac8a9ffa67e950ee3ab6715a212ded5/home/random.asm#L29-L46) and [Crystal `home/random.asm`](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/home/random.asm#L29-L46).
The repositories' top-level `main.asm` files are effectively link manifests for this architecture. Gold/Silver's file groups the battle core, encounters, party menu, RTC, phone, Pokégear, sprite animation, graphics loading, and other systems into named ROM sections. Crystal retains those categories but adds explicitly named feature sections and many additional modules.
### Crystal as an extension and bank-layout rewrite
Crystal's `main.asm` introduces a conspicuous `Crystal Features 1` section containing gender initialization, Kris-specific bag handling, Move Tutor, Crystal layouts, Celebi logic, the redesigned main menu, Mobile menu code, owned-Pokémon search, and Buena's menu. Nearby banks add Battle Tower trainer logic, caught-data handling, a revised stats screen, sliding battle intros, battle-scene checks, and the Color-only startup screen.
That include topology supports three conclusions.
First, Crystal preserves **vertical subsystem continuity**. The battle engine is still `engine/battle/core.asm`; encounters remain `engine/overworld/wildmons.asm`; Pokémon records still derive from the same party/box macros; and audio is still driven by the same interpreter.
Second, Crystal adds **horizontal feature coupling**. Battle Tower touches battle setup, stat boosts, experience rules, saving, menus, SRAM, trainers, music, and link-like constraints. The female protagonist touches initialization, sprites, bag graphics, caught metadata, and menu presentation. Mobile support touches interrupts, SRAM, menus, communications, rankings, and audio.
Third, code and data relocation is substantial enough that raw ROM addresses from Gold/Silver cannot generally be transplanted into Crystal. A symbolic port based on labels and structures is practical; a patch based on absolute offsets is brittle.

The line counts of several Crystal files are larger, but line count alone is not a behavioral metric; comments, label quality, and source refactoring affect it. The stronger evidence is the presence of new branches, fields, tables, and externally observable side effects.
### Hardware-mode divergence
Gold/Silver initialization tests whether the console is a Game Boy Color and maintains non-CGB paths, including Super Game Boy initialization. Crystal includes an explicit `gbc_only.asm` module that displays the incompatibility message on non-CGB hardware. That is not merely marketing metadata: it changes what assumptions later rendering code may safely make about palettes, VRAM banking, and Color hardware.
For a reverse port of Crystal features into Gold/Silver, every CGB-only feature falls into one of three categories: provide a monochrome/SGB fallback, disable it outside CGB mode, or intentionally convert the resulting ROM into a Color-only build. Skipping that decision produces subtle failures rather than one clean compile error: palette attributes, second-bank VRAM data, and tile-upload timing can all be implicated.
## Save, RNG, clock, and entity state
### Save architecture
Gold/Silver divide their main game state into options, three player-data fragments, current-map data, Pokémon data, and a checksum. Backup pieces are distributed among several separately placed SRAM sections. The current PC box is separate, the fourteen inactive boxes occupy exactly two SRAM banks, and mail and Mystery Gift have dedicated regions.
Crystal instead defines a contiguous `sGameData` consisting of player, map, and Pokémon data, pads the region, and stores a checksum. Its backup is similarly grouped. Crystal then adds a GS Ball flag, `sCrystalData`, Battle Tower progress and recent-trainer state, ranking records, Mobile communication data, offers, credentials, and Japanese Mobile-specific buffers. The source explicitly notes that the international `sCrystalData` location differs from Japanese Crystal.
| Save component | Gold/Silver | Crystal |
|---|---|---|
| Options and corruption sentinels | Present | Present |
| Main player/map/Pokémon data | Split into labeled player fragments inside the save region | Grouped into one contiguous main-game block |
| Main checksum | 16-bit checksum after game data | 16-bit checksum after padded game-data region |
| Backup | Fragmented among multiple SRAM sections | Consolidated backup game-data block |
| Current box | Separate `curbox` structure | Separate full `box` structure plus padding |
| Inactive boxes | Fourteen boxes over two SRAM banks | Same fourteen-box capacity over two banks |
| Party and mailbox mail | Dedicated primary and backup regions | Same broad model |
| GS Ball state | Absent | Primary and backup flags |
| Battle Tower | Absent | Challenge state, streak, previous teams, reward |
| Mobile/rankings | Absent | Several additional SRAM sections |
| Full-file compatibility | Gold and Silver are closely related but still edition-specific | Not layout-compatible with Gold/Silver |
Crystal's save routine makes the transactional sequence visible:
```asm
_SaveGameData:
farcall StageRTCTimeForSave
farcall BackupMysteryGift
call ValidateSave
call SaveOptions
call SavePlayerData
call SavePokemonData
call SaveBox
call SaveChecksum
call ValidateBackupSave
...
farcall BackupGSBallFlag
farcall SaveRTC
```
Source: [Crystal `engine/menus/save.asm`](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/engine/menus/save.asm#L255-L284). The routine stages RTC state, writes the primary data and box, computes the primary checksum, writes backup data and checksum, backs up party mail and GS Ball state, persists RTC state, and normalizes a completed Battle Tower reward state.
The practical conclusion is precise: **do not migrate a Gold/Silver `.sav` to Crystal by copying the file or the main save block**. A converter should parse symbolic fields, validate checksums and sentinels, copy player/map/Pokémon/box/mail data field by field, initialize Crystal-only state, and regenerate Crystal checksums. Gold-to-Silver conversion is less structurally disruptive, but version-dependent event and encounter state should still be treated deliberately.
### Party and boxed-Pokémon records
One of Crystal's most elegant compatibility decisions is visible at the structure-definition level. In Gold/Silver, the two bytes after `MON_POKERUS` are simply reserved:
```asm
DEF MON_HAPPINESS rb
DEF MON_POKERUS rb
rb_skip 2
DEF MON_LEVEL rb
```
In Crystal, the same positions are assigned to a two-byte caught-data field:
```asm
DEF MON_HAPPINESS rb
DEF MON_POKERUS rb
DEF MON_CAUGHTDATA rw
DEF MON_LEVEL rb
```
Sources: [Gold/Silver structure](https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/a0dad0957ac8a9ffa67e950ee3ab6715a212ded5/constants/pokemon_data_constants.asm#L83-L101) and [Crystal structure](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/constants/pokemon_data_constants.asm#L83-L107).
Crystal packs caught time and trainer gender into one byte and caught level and location into another. Because Game Freak repurposed reserved bytes instead of extending the record, `BOXMON_STRUCT_LENGTH` and `PARTYMON_STRUCT_LENGTH` remain compatible. Gold/Silver can carry those bytes without understanding them; Crystal can interpret them when present. This is a major reason Gen II Pokémon can move among Gold, Silver, and Crystal without a record-size translation layer.
A second structure change appears in the base-species TM/HM compatibility bitset. Gold/Silver size it for `NUM_TM_HM`; Crystal sizes it for `NUM_TM_HM_TUTOR`, accommodating Move Tutor compatibility in the same species-data model. This means a straight copy of Gold/Silver base-stat records into Crystal must account for Crystal's expanded learnability domain even if the visible species stats are unchanged.
### Item and party handling
The basic inventory model (separate item pockets, held-item byte in each Pokémon record, party length of six, PC boxes, mail records, and item-dispatch routines) is inherited. Crystal's changes are concentrated in new consumers and UI behavior: Move Tutor eligibility, gender-specific player presentation, caught metadata, Battle Tower restrictions, and additional event items such as GS Ball state.
Crystal did **not** comprehensively repair the item mechanics. Its documented defects still include Moon Ball not applying its intended multiplier, Love Ball checking the wrong gender relationship, Fast Ball applying to only a few species, three incorrect Heavy Ball weight cases, and status conditions failing to affect capture rate as intended. Those defects live in shared mechanical paths and are important when evaluating a "faithful" engine port: correcting them changes gameplay and may alter deterministic test vectors.
### Ordinary RNG
Gold/Silver and Crystal use the same ordinary RNG routine. It samples the hardware divider register and updates two one-byte accumulators, one by addition-with-carry and one by subtraction-with-carry:
```asm
ldh a, [rDIV]
ld b, a
ldh a, [hRandomAdd]
adc b
ldh [hRandomAdd], a
ldh a, [rDIV]
ld b, a
ldh a, [hRandomSub]
sbc b
ldh [hRandomSub], a
```
Sources: [Gold/Silver](https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/a0dad0957ac8a9ffa67e950ee3ab6715a212ded5/home/random.asm#L13-L27) and [Crystal](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/home/random.asm#L13-L27). The files are effectively identical, including the `RandomRange` rejection-sampling routine used to avoid simple modulo bias.
This generator is not a self-contained seeded PRNG in the modern sense. Its output depends on divider phase, previous accumulator state, carry state, VBlank updates, and when the routine is reached. Consequently, adding an animation, menu delay, conditional call, or extra random-consuming feature can alter later outcomes even while the RNG instructions remain unchanged.
### Link-battle PRNG
Battles route randomness through `BattleRandom`. In non-link play, `_BattleRandom` ultimately uses the ordinary RNG. In linked battles, both systems consume a shared ten-byte random sequence and advance bytes with the recurrence:
```
x[n+1] = (5 * x[n] + 1) mod 256
```
The Gold/Silver and Crystal battle cores contain the same broad synchronization mechanism.
This has a major compatibility consequence: a battle patch can be logically correct in isolation yet break link play if it causes one participant to make a different number or order of RNG calls. That is why Crystal sometimes preserves Gold/Silver behavior specifically in link battles. Synchronization depends on matching control flow, not merely using the same random-number formula.
### RTC and time-of-day behavior
Both codebases latch the MBC3-style real-time clock, read seconds, minutes, hours, and the low/high day registers, normalize time, add the player's selected starting offset, and derive the current time-of-day state. Crystal's `UpdateTime` remains a short chain of `GetClock`, `FixDays`, `FixTime`, and `GetTimeOfDay`.
Crystal's source shows the day counter reduced modulo 140 for the game's weekly/event model, with status flags distinguishing an RTC count beyond 139 days and a hardware day-high overflow beyond 255 days. The displayed game time is formed by adding the new-game start offsets to RTC values with carry through seconds, minutes, hours, and day.
The notable architectural addition is the Crystal timer interrupt's Mobile dispatch:
```asm
Timer::
push af
ldh a, [hMobile]
and a
jr z, .not_mobile
call MobileTimer
.not_mobile
pop af
reti
```
Source: [Crystal `home/time.asm`](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/home/time.asm#L2-L11). The ordinary RTC logic remains inherited; Japanese/mobile Crystal adds another timing consumer.
For emulators, flash cartridges, and ports, SRAM alone is insufficient. RTC registers, halt/carry state, elapsed host time, and game offsets must be preserved consistently. A save imported without corresponding RTC state may be structurally valid yet produce incorrect daily events, phone behavior, berries, swarms, day-of-week encounters, or time-dependent evolutions.
## Battles and encounters
### Battle-engine inheritance
The core Gen II battle model is shared: turn selection, speed ordering, accuracy, damage, stat stages, held items, status, volatile effects, experience, capture, AI, and link synchronization follow the same broad engine. Crystal's battle core is larger principally because it adds Battle Tower integration, additional presentation paths, and selective corrections.
Crystal is therefore mechanically closer to a patched and extended Gold/Silver than to a later-generation ruleset. There are no abilities, natures, modern physical/special move split, or rewritten damage model. Its new content operates within Gen II's existing move and Pokémon structures.
### Control-flow difference: Battle Tower exclusions
Gold/Silver's `BadgeStatBoosts` exits for link battles and otherwise applies badge boosts. Crystal adds a second early return when `wInBattleTowerBattle` is nonzero:
```asm
ld a, [wLinkMode]
and a
ret nz
ld a, [wInBattleTowerBattle]
and a
ret nz
```
Source: [Crystal `BadgeStatBoosts`](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/engine/battle/core.asm#L6526-L6532). Gold/Silver have only the link-mode guard at the corresponding point.
This tiny six-instruction addition is representative of Crystal's design. The stat algorithm was not replaced; Crystal introduced a new battle context and inserted a guard so adventure-only badge advantages do not leak into the standardized Battle Tower. Similar context checks appear around experience and other post-battle handling.
### Selective fixes constrained by link compatibility
The pret Crystal bug documentation explicitly states that Crystal fixed Gold/Silver's Reflect/Light Screen overflow and Present damage behavior only where doing so would not break ordinary cross-version link battles. Link-mode behavior retains the compatible path.
That is an important historical engineering tradeoff. A fully corrected Crystal battle engine would disagree with Gold/Silver on intermediate values and potentially on RNG consumption, damage, fainting, or message sequence. Compatibility with the installed base was treated as a protocol requirement. Consequently, "Crystal fixed the bug" can mean **fixed in single-player but deliberately retained in linked simulation**.
### Shared and persistent battle defects
Crystal retains a substantial Gen II defect surface. Documented examples include:
| Defect | Mechanical effect | Crystal status |
|---|---|---|
| "100%" secondary effects | Fail in 1/256 qualifying cases | Retained |
| Belly Drum | May maximize Attack even when the HP requirement is not properly met | Retained |
| Berserk Gene | Confusion duration can become 256 turns or inherit stale state | Retained |
| Confusion damage | Can receive type-item and Explosion/Self-Destruct modifiers | Retained |
| Beat Up | Can behave incorrectly and can desynchronize link battles | Retained |
| Return/Frustration edge | Can produce zero damage at extreme happiness values | Retained |
| Dragon boosting item | Dragon Scale is checked instead of Dragon Fang | Retained |
| Glacier Badge | Special Defense boost depends incorrectly on overwritten accumulator state | Retained |
| Capture status bonus | Burn, poison, and paralysis do not contribute as intended | Retained |
| Specialty Balls | Multiple Apricorn-ball formulas target the wrong condition or table | Retained |
These are documented against original Crystal code, not inferred from modern competitive summaries.
The Glacier Badge defect is especially instructive at ASM level. The routine shifts a badge bitfield through register `b`, calls `BoostStat`, and later reuses register `a` as if it still contained the expected badge value. `BoostStat` can overwrite `a`, so whether Special Defense receives its boost depends on the Special Attack calculation's resulting register state. The bug survived Crystal even though the source gained an explicit comment identifying it.
### Gold/Silver defects corrected in Crystal
The `pokegold` bug document separates defects fixed in Crystal from defects still shared with it. It identifies seven clear Gold/Silver corrections: Coin Case arbitrary code execution, Hall of Fame corruption when no prior save exists, Lucky Number failure to inspect boxes 10-14, Present text overflow, surfing onto NPCs, fishing inside Cerulean Gym, and Route 15 capitalization.
The Coin Case correction is one bytecode-level terminator change:
```diff
text "Coins:"
line "@"
text_decimal wCoins, 2, 4
-done
+text_end
```
Source: [`pokegold/docs/bugs_and_glitches.md`](https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/a0dad0957ac8a9ffa67e950ee3ab6715a212ded5/docs/bugs_and_glitches.md#L20-L34). The Gold/Silver terminator permits text-command execution to continue into unintended memory under exploitable conditions; Crystal ends the text stream correctly.
The Hall of Fame correction adds a saved-at-least-once check and erases/initializes previous-save structures before attempting the Hall of Fame write. The Lucky Number correction changes the loop bound from the Japanese box count constant to the international fourteen-box count. Both are good examples of Crystal correcting localization-sensitive state assumptions rather than changing game design.
### Encounter-rate algorithm
Gold/Silver and Crystal use essentially the same high-level encounter pipeline:
```mermaid
flowchart TD
STEP[Eligible movement step]
RATE[Read morning/day/night or water rate]
MOD1[Apply radio modifier]
MOD2[Apply Cleanse Tag modifier]
ROLL[Call Random and compare with rate]
SLOT[Choose encounter slot]
ROAM[Check roaming Pokémon]
REPEL[Apply Repel level check]
BATTLE[Stage wild battle]
STEP --> RATE --> MOD1 --> MOD2 --> ROLL
ROLL -->|pass| SLOT
SLOT --> ROAM
ROAM --> REPEL
REPEL --> BATTLE
```
In both engines, `TryWildEncounter` gets the map rate, applies Pokémon March/Ruins of Alph doubling or Pokémon Lullaby halving, applies Cleanse Tag halving, draws an RNG byte, chooses a slot from grass or water probability tables, and checks Repel.
Grass records contain separate morning, day, and night slot blocks; the active block is selected through `wTimeOfDay`. Water uses a separate rate and three-slot table. The structure constants remain seven grass slots and three water slots in both codebases.
### Encounter-table differences
Gold and Silver primarily diverge through edition-conditioned tables. Crystal has its own consolidated tables and changes both availability and placement. It makes several former Gold/Silver exclusives obtainable in one edition, while removing some species available in both base versions; Mareep's evolutionary family is a prominent Crystal omission. Crystal also moves species such as Sneasel to different locations.
The engine/table distinction is important. An encounter may differ because:
1. the map's encounter-rate byte changed;
2. a morning/day/night slot changed;
3. the slot's level changed;
4. a swarm override changed;
5. a roaming Pokémon was removed from the roaming subsystem;
6. the map itself gained or lost encounter-enabled tiles.
A robust diff should therefore compare map headers, wild tables, swarm flags, and roaming initialization, not merely produce a Pokédex availability list.
### Swarms and roaming state
Gold/Silver's swarm lookup is comparatively generic: it compares the current map against `wSwarmMapGroup` and `wSwarmMapNumber`. Crystal's code has explicit Dunsparce and Yanma swarm flags and corresponding map state. That is a data-model specialization, not just a changed encounter table.
The roaming difference is even clearer. Gold/Silver initialize three records:
```asm
ld a, RAIKOU
ld [wRoamMon1Species], a
ld a, ENTEI
ld [wRoamMon2Species], a
ld a, SUICUNE
ld [wRoamMon3Species], a
```
Crystal initializes only Raikou and Entei:
```asm
ld a, RAIKOU
ld [wRoamMon1Species], a
ld a, ENTEI
ld [wRoamMon2Species], a
```
Sources: [Gold/Silver `InitRoamMons`](https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/a0dad0957ac8a9ffa67e950ee3ab6715a212ded5/engine/overworld/wildmons.asm#L471-L511) and [Crystal `InitRoamMons`](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/engine/overworld/wildmons.asm#L476-L506).
Gold/Silver's subsequent selection logic describes an equal choice among three beasts after the roaming check succeeds; Crystal changes the corresponding comment and index range to two. Suicune's removal is tied to Crystal's expanded Eusine/Suicune plot and scripted Tin Tower encounter.
For save conversion, a Gold/Silver Suicune roaming record cannot simply remain active in Crystal. The converter must map capture/defeat/event state into Crystal's scripted Suicune flags or deliberately define a hybrid behavior.
## Graphics and audio
### Tile, palette, and sprite model
All three games retain the Game Boy's tile-oriented rendering model: graphics are stored as compact tile data, decompressed or copied into VRAM, arranged through background/window tilemaps, and supplemented by hardware sprites through shadow OAM. Pokémon and many UI images use four-color source palettes, with separate palette data determining their actual colors. The pokecrystal FAQ explicitly notes the four-color paletted-PNG convention and the distinction between image data and palette data.
Gold/Silver must support original Game Boy-style output and Super Game Boy behavior as well as Game Boy Color enhancements. Crystal's explicit Color-only startup path lets it make stronger use of CGB layout and palette machinery. Its top-level architecture adds `crystal_layouts.asm`, dedicated player graphics, revised map and battle presentation, and other CGB-focused modules.
### Animated Pokémon sprites
Crystal's headline renderer change is animated front sprites. Every Pokémon receives an entrance animation, and the status/profile viewer can play a longer animation; several designs, palettes, and back sprites were also revised. Crystal additionally gives the legendary beasts distinct overworld sprites and introduces richer trade-screen presentation.
At the engine level, this requires more than storing extra frames. A full animation path needs:
- a base front picture and additional frame or bitmask data;
- frame sequencing and duration state;
- tile-buffer reconstruction or differential tile updates;
- synchronization with battle intro control flow;
- palette and VRAM updates during safe LCD periods;
- fallback behavior for static contexts such as link displays or icons.
Crystal's `load_pics.asm` is correspondingly larger and is integrated with dedicated animation and battle-intro modules, while Gold/Silver's loader primarily services static front/back pictures. The exact file-size difference should not be treated as a performance measurement, but the added code paths confirm a broader graphics pipeline.
Animated fronts can also alter RNG-observable timing indirectly. The ordinary RNG is updated from divider timing and VBlank activity; therefore, any test that compares post-animation random outcomes must control whether animations are enabled and how many frames elapsed. This is an inference from the animation and RNG architectures, not evidence that every animation directly invokes `Random`.
### Color and protagonist handling
Crystal adds player-gender initialization and Kris-specific bag/player graphics. The Pokémon record's caught-data bits can record whether the catcher was the boy or girl protagonist. This is an example of a feature spanning UI, overworld sprites, menus, Pokémon metadata, and save state rather than existing in one isolated "female player" switch.
A Crystal-to-Gold/Silver backport must decide how to handle caught-by-girl metadata when Gold/Silver have no female protagonist UI. Structurally the bytes can survive because they were reserved, but Gold/Silver will not natively display or generate the metadata.
### Sound-engine architecture
The most striking audio result is how little the interpreter changed. Both repositories' `audio/engine.asm` identify themselves as the entire sound engine, update once per frame, parse music commands, maintain eight software channel structures (four music and four sound-effect channels), and ultimately drive the four Game Boy audio channels. Both implementations handle duty, envelope, frequency, vibrato, noise sampling, channel muting, low-health sound, and fades through the same broad code.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
SONG[Song bytecode]
PARSE[ParseMusic]
STATE[Per-channel WRAM state]
FX[Vibrato / pitch / envelope / noise]
MIX[Music-SFX priority and routing]
APU[Game Boy audio registers]
SONG --> PARSE --> STATE --> FX --> MIX --> APU
```
Crystal therefore does not introduce a new synthesizer. It extends the music corpus and invokes new songs in new contexts.
### Crystal's additional music
Gold/Silver's song pointer table ends at `Music_PostCredits`. Crystal retains that ordering and appends ten entries:
| Crystal-only pointer entry | Use |
|---|---|
| `Music_Clair` | Clair-related scene |
| `Music_MobileAdapterMenu` | Japanese Mobile menu |
| `Music_MobileAdapter` | Mobile connectivity |
| `Music_BuenasPassword` | Buena's Password |
| `Music_LookMysticalMan` | Eusine encounter |
| `Music_CrystalOpening` | Revised opening |
| `Music_BattleTowerTheme` | Battle Tower battle/context |
| `Music_SuicuneBattle` | Legendary-beast/Suicune battle theme |
| `Music_BattleTowerLobby` | Battle Tower lobby |
| `Music_MobileCenter` | Japanese Mobile Center |
The pointer table labels these explicitly as "new to Crystal."
Bulbapedia independently notes that Crystal gives the legendary beasts a unique battle theme and presents it as the first core-series special legendary battle music.
From a porting perspective, bringing Crystal music into Gold/Silver primarily requires assigning ROM space, importing sequence data, adding pointer/constants entries, and adding selection call sites. Replacing the audio engine is generally unnecessary. However, preserving existing numeric song IDs is wise because map headers, scripts, battle setup, radio state, and fades refer to those constants.
## Bugs, compatibility, porting, and reverse-engineering timeline
### Bug and quirk matrix
| Category | Gold/Silver | Crystal | Engineering interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coin Case text terminator | Exploitable continuation can permit arbitrary code execution | Correct terminator | Parser/data correction |
| First-save Hall of Fame | Can corrupt PC boxes | Guard and initialization added | Save-state precondition correction |
| Lucky Number boxes | International boxes 10-14 omitted | Uses full box count | Localization constant corrected |
| Surf onto NPC | Possible | Facing-object check added | Collision precondition corrected |
| Cerulean Gym fishing | Enabled by map fish group | Disabled | Map-header data correction |
| Reflect/Light Screen overflow | Incorrect | Fixed outside compatible link path | Context-dependent battle fix |
| Present damage | Incorrect | Fixed outside compatible link path | Protocol-preserving fix |
| Glacier Badge Special Defense | Bugged | Still bugged | Shared inherited defect |
| Apricorn specialty balls | Multiple formula defects | Still defective | Shared inherited mechanics |
| Beat Up synchronization | Vulnerable | Still vulnerable | Shared link-engine defect |
| Secondary-effect 1/256 failure | Present | Present | Shared probability comparison defect |
| Animated-sprite quirks | Not applicable | New animation-specific defects possible | Feature expansion creates new failure surface |
The Gold/Silver and Crystal bug documents should be read together. The Gold/Silver document intentionally lists only bugs that Crystal fixed; any shared defects are documented in the Crystal repository instead.
Crystal is thus more polished but not mechanically "corrected" in a comprehensive sense. A modern source port must choose a compatibility target:
- **Retail-faithful:** preserve all version-specific bugs and timing.
- **Crystal-faithful:** preserve Crystal's selective fixes and its link-mode exceptions.
- **Corrected Gen II:** repair documented defects, accepting that link compatibility and historical RNG traces may change.
- **Hybrid:** gate corrections behind flags or negotiate them between identical modified link peers.
### ROM revisions and regional code
The Crystal repository builds international v1.0, v1.1, and Australian releases. Its FAQ states that v1.1 corrected some issues in the initial international release, while the Australian build is based on v1.1 and censors gambling references. Thus "Crystal behavior" is not completely singular even within English-language retail ROMs.
A serious test report should always state the target hash rather than merely "Pokémon Crystal." Otherwise, an observed difference may be edition-level, v1.0/v1.1-level, Australian localization, Japanese Mobile code, Virtual Console patching, emulator behavior, or an altered ROM.
### Link and trade compatibility
Gold, Silver, and Crystal share the Gen II Pokémon record length and battle/link architecture, allowing ordinary same-generation trading and battling. The retained two-byte record size, shared `REDMON_STRUCT_LENGTH` conversion constant for Time Capsule interaction, and synchronized battle RNG are all source-level evidence of compatibility-oriented design.
However, three distinct notions of compatibility must not be conflated:
| Compatibility type | Status |
|---|---|
| Pokémon record compatibility | Strong: same record length; Crystal fills reserved bytes |
| Link protocol/battle simulation compatibility | Strong for retail games, partly because Crystal preserves old link behavior |
| Whole-save-file compatibility | Weak: Crystal's SRAM organization and added state differ substantially |
| ROM patch-address compatibility | Weak: bank layout and code placement differ |
| Feature-source portability | Moderate: shared architecture helps, but dependencies are broad |
| Gen I Time Capsule data compatibility | Supported through dedicated conversion structures and restrictions |
| Modern transfer compatibility | Supported from 3DS VC releases through Poké Transporter and Pokémon Bank |
Nintendo's support documentation lists the Virtual Console releases of Gold, Silver, and Crystal as compatible with Poké Transporter. Transfers proceed into Pokémon Bank and can then move onward to Pokémon HOME, but that modern path is not a raw Gen II save conversion and is effectively one-way at later stages.
### Virtual Console modifications
Crystal's save code contains an explicit `vc_hook` after Hall of Fame insertion. The hook sets the primary and backup GS Ball flags to make the GS Ball quest and Celebi encounter available, with compile-time assertions pinning the expected SRAM addresses and flag value.
```asm
vc_hook Enable_GS_Ball_mobile_event
vc_assert BANK(sGSBallFlag) == $1
vc_assert BANK(sGSBallFlagBackup) == $1
```
Source: [Crystal `engine/menus/save.asm`](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/8e8f7e20052a596371a77022f0392c285e51bbf1/engine/menus/save.asm#L157-L167).
This is a fascinating compatibility shim: the original international cartridge retained GS Ball-related structures but lacked the original Japanese distribution path, so the Virtual Console wrapper activates the event through a targeted runtime hook. The Pokémon Company confirms that the Virtual Console version permits the Celebi encounter at Ilex Forest's shrine.
The pret repositories also contain `vc` build material, and community GitHub discussion has addressed preserving or generating Virtual Console patches. A port targeting 3DS VC behavior should therefore compare not only the retail ROM but the external patch/hook layer.
### Japanese Crystal and mapper/SRAM concerns
Crystal's SRAM source reserves several Mobile sections and explicitly comments that a Mobile Easy Chat initialization routine uses an "MBC30 bank" available to Japanese Crystal but inaccessible with ordinary MBC3 behavior. This is direct evidence that regional hardware assumptions matter when emulating or reproducing Japanese Mobile features.
An implementation that supports only the common international MBC3-style SRAM/RTC configuration may run the international game correctly yet fail Japanese Crystal's extended Mobile storage accesses. Conversely, allocating the larger memory blindly does not implement Mobile Adapter protocols, timer behavior, ranking checksums, or server-era workflows.
### Porting guidance
The safest migration strategy between the two disassemblies is subsystem-oriented:
| Port direction | Recommended approach | Main hazard |
|---|---|---|
| Gold <-> Silver data | Preserve shared engine; switch edition tables/assets | Conditional data references and event assumptions |
| Crystal feature -> Gold/Silver | Import feature plus all WRAM/SRAM, graphics, script, audio, and menu dependencies | DMG/SGB fallback and bank-space pressure |
| Gold/Silver behavior -> Crystal | Replace data or selectively restore old branch | Crystal story/event state may expect new semantics |
| Gold/Silver save -> Crystal | Parse and rebuild symbolic fields | Relocated blocks and Crystal-only state |
| Crystal save -> Gold/Silver | Strip Crystal state and preserve common Pokémon/player data | Caught metadata becomes opaque; Suicune/Battle Tower state has no target |
| Retail battle fix | Gate by non-link mode or require identical modified peers | RNG/control-flow desynchronization |
| Crystal graphics -> DMG-compatible engine | Create monochrome layouts or make build CGB-only | Palette attributes and animation timing |
| Japanese Mobile feature port | Emulate mapper, extended SRAM, timer, and communication assumptions | Hardware and defunct-service dependencies |
Bank space is a concrete constraint. The pokecrystal FAQ describes the international ROM as 2 MiB divided across banks and notes that adding features can overflow fixed bank placement, requiring sections to be moved through the linker script. Crystal's extra features already consume carefully arranged banks, so a port that compiles at the object level can still fail at link time.
The deepest practical rule is: **port invariants before routines**. Before copying code, define the target's expected record lengths, bank-switch convention, WRAM variables, SRAM addresses, script command set, palette mode, RNG call contract, and link-mode semantics. Once those invariants match, most inherited Gen II routines are straightforward. Without them, a perfectly copied routine can read the wrong field, switch to the wrong bank, write outside a save block, or desynchronize a link battle.

```
Gold and Silver launched in Japan on November 21, 1999 and in North America on October 15, 2000; Crystal followed in Japan on December 14, 2000 and internationally in 2001. Gold/Silver reached 3DS Virtual Console in September 2017 and Crystal followed in January 2018.
The current reverse-engineering record is better described as an evolving evidence base than as a single "discovery date." pret's labels, comments, and bug documentation have accumulated over thousands of repository commits, while the exact-build hashes provide a stable anchor to the retail binaries. Crystal's repository currently has substantially more history and feature documentation than `pokegold`, reflecting its role as the community's principal Gen II hacking platform rather than evidence that Crystal's retail source was inherently better documented.
### Final technical assessment
Gold and Silver are functionally sibling configurations of one engine. Their meaningful differences are overwhelmingly table-, asset-, and version-flag-driven. Crystal preserves that engine's defining architecture but turns it into a more specialized platform: Color-only graphics, animated Pokémon, richer event scripting, expanded persistent state, Mobile-era infrastructure, Battle Tower contexts, caught metadata, additional music, and selective defect correction.
At ASM level, the most consequential changes are not usually exotic algorithms. They are small branches with large semantic reach:
- a Battle Tower early return suppresses badge boosts;
- two reserved Pokémon bytes acquire caught metadata without changing record size;
- Suicune disappears from `InitRoamMons`;
- save blocks become reorganized and gain new persistent domains;
- a text terminator closes the Coin Case execution path;
- link-mode checks preserve old arithmetic to avoid desynchronization;
- a Virtual Console hook activates an otherwise inaccessible event;
- a Mobile timer branch attaches a new subsystem to the interrupt path.
That pattern explains both Crystal's compatibility and its porting difficulty. It remains recognizably the Gold/Silver engine, but its new features are woven through banks, state structures, control-flow conditions, graphics timing, SRAM, scripts, and presentation. The code is cousin-shaped, not copy-paste-shaped: the classic reverse-engineering booby trap wearing a tiny Suicune hat.

# ROM Extraction Notes
There are two ROM-only extraction paths:
- The packaged app uses `src/import/RomImporter.lua` and
`src/import/RomExtractor.lua` on first boot.
- Developers can run `tools/build_data.py --rom <path> [--clean]` to generate
data in the source tree for audit and parity work.
Both paths read only the supplied ROM and the checked-in
`tools/rom_manifest.json`. Neither invokes RGBDS, Git, or a disassembly.
## Validation
Only the canonical US Pokemon Red ROM is supported. SHA-1 is checked before
any cached output is removed or written.
## Decoded Data
| Area | ROM data |
| --- | --- |
| world | map headers, block maps, connections, warps, signs, objects |
| tiles | tileset graphics, blocksets, collision, door and warp tile lists |
| text | 2,584 text command streams and RAM/number substitutions |
| Pokemon | names, stats, evolutions, learnsets, Dex data, compressed pictures |
| battle | moves, detailed animations, OAM frames/tiles, effects, type chart, palettes, trainer parties/AI/pictures |
| inventory | item names, prices, key-item flags, TM/HM data |
| encounters | grass and water wild tables |
| UI | fonts, icons, title/intro, trainer card, town map, slots, field effects |
| audio | music, SFX and cry headers, channel programs, wave instruments |
The Python and Lua picture decompressors implement the Gen 1 `pic` format.
Graphics are converted to RGBA PNGs. OAM artwork uses transparent color 0;
battle pictures use edge-connected white matting so white interior details
remain visible.
The in-app importer stores three audio ROM banks as a 48 KiB
`programs.bin`. `src/core/ChipAudio.lua` interprets the channel bytecode and
synthesizes music as a queueable stream; SFX and cries are synthesized on
demand. This avoids shipping or generating a large WAV/OGG tree.
## Metadata Boundary
Names, dimensions, enum ordering, Lua script hooks, and hand-ported field
behavior do not survive compilation in a form the Lua runtime can infer.
Those relationships are bundled in `rom_manifest.json`. The manifest stores
no dialogue strings, images, audio samples, or ROM bytes.
`tools/make_rom_manifest.py` and `tools/verify_rom_data.py` are developer audit
tools. They are not used by the packaged game.

# Gen 2 link play: what it takes
This is a design document, not a feature announcement. Gold cannot link today
and nothing in this document changes that on its own. What it does is state
honestly what Gen 2 link play requires, where the Gen 1 protocol in `src/link/`
stops working on a Gen 2 record, what the cart itself did, and which pieces of
the work are self-contained enough to have been built already.
The short version: the transport, the handshake and the fingerprint are
generation-agnostic or nearly so, and those are done. The party wire format is
half done (a codec exists, nothing sends it). The trade session, the trade UI
and the lockstep battle are not started, and each is a real piece of work.
Read `docs/mod-api-gen2-compat.md` beside this: it is the reference for what a
Gold mod may touch, and the link fingerprint's whole job is to hash exactly that
surface.
## 1. What Gen 1 link play is
`src/link/` is nine files and about four thousand lines:
| File | Job |
| --- | --- |
| `Net.lua` | lua-enet transport, LAN host/join plus a relay for online play. JSON messages, no game types. |
| `CodeEntry.lua` | the online join code widget. |
| `Handshake.lua` | the `hello` both peers exchange and the compatibility verdict drawn from the two of them. |
| `Fingerprint.lua` | a deterministic digest of the link surface: the slice of merged Data whose value decides whether two lockstep simulations stay identical. |
| `Protocol.lua` | mon serialization, the record-subset negotiation, and the trade session state machine. |
| `LinkState.lua` | the LINK menu, pairing, and the trade/battle hand-off. |
| `LinkBattle.lua` | lockstep battle: both machines run `src/battle/BattleState.lua` from mirrored perspectives on a shared seed, exchanging one action per turn and a per-turn state hash. |
| `Tournament.lua` | bracketed online play over the relay. |
| `Json.lua` | the encoder the wire and several unrelated callers share. |
Only three of those nine are shaped around Gen 1 game content: `Fingerprint`,
`Protocol` and `LinkBattle`. `Net`, `Json`, `CodeEntry` and most of `Handshake`
never look at a Pokemon.
## 2. What the cart did
pokegold's link code is `engine/link/link.asm` (2508 lines), and it is worth
being precise about, because several of the port's design questions have a cart
answer.
**Three rooms, one wire.** `wLinkMode` is `LINK_TIMECAPSULE`,
`LINK_TRADECENTER` or `LINK_COLOSSEUM` (`constants/serial_constants.asm`).
`LinkCommunications` branches once, at the top, on whether the mode is the Time
Capsule: `Gen2ToGen1LinkComms` for the Time Capsule and `Gen2ToGen2LinkComms`
for everything else (`engine/link/link.asm:33`). Everything after that branch is
shared -- the same byte exchange serves trading and battling, and the mode only
decides what is in the buffer and what the game does afterwards.
**What crosses the wire, in order** (`Gen2ToGen2LinkComms`,
`engine/link/link.asm:202`):
1. `SERIAL_RN_PREAMBLE_LENGTH + SERIAL_RNS_LENGTH` bytes: the shared battle
RNG state. Seven preamble bytes and ten seeds.
2. `SERIAL_PREAMBLE_LENGTH + NAME_LENGTH + (1 + PARTY_LENGTH + 1) + 2 +
(PARTYMON_STRUCT_LENGTH + NAME_LENGTH * 2) * PARTY_LENGTH + 3` bytes: the
player name, the party count and species list, the **trainer ID**, six party
structs, six OT names and six nicknames.
3. `SERIAL_PATCH_LIST_LENGTH` bytes: the patch list (see below).
4. In the Trade Center only, the mail block: six mail messages then six mail
metadata structs (`Link_PrepPartyData_Gen2`, `engine/link/link.asm:810`).
**The shared PRNG is the whole trick behind lockstep.** `_BattleRandom`
(`engine/battle/core.asm:6650`) refuses the normal RNG whenever `wLinkMode` is
non-zero and pulls from `wLinkBattleRNs` instead: ten seeds, each advanced by
`a[n+1] = (a[n] * 5 + 1) % 256` when the stream runs out, with the count in
`wLinkBattleRNCount`. Both machines exchange those ten bytes once, before the
battle, and never again -- the external-clock side adopts the internal-clock
side's numbers (`Link_CopyRandomNumbers`, `engine/link/link.asm:1115`). The port
does the same thing with a Park-Miller stream seeded by the host
(`LinkBattle.makeRng`), which is the same idea in a different arithmetic.
**The patch list exists because the wire has reserved bytes.**
`SERIAL_NO_DATA_BYTE` (`$fe`) may not appear in the payload, so
`FixDataForLinkTransfer` (`engine/link/link.asm:556`) walks the party block,
replaces every `$fe` with `$ff`, and records the offsets it touched in a
200-byte list that ships alongside. Mail gets its own smaller version of this in
`Link_PrepPartyData_Gen2`. The port's wire is JSON over enet and has no reserved
bytes, so this whole mechanism has no analogue and needs none. It is worth
knowing about only so nobody reimplements it by accident.
**The Time Capsule is the cart's own answer to a cross-generation link.**
`CheckTimeCapsuleCompatibility` (`engine/link/link.asm:1970`) refuses the party
outright for exactly three reasons, and returns which one in `wScriptVar`:
1. a species at or above `JOHTO_POKEMON` (`constants/pokemon_constants.asm:168`,
the 152 boundary),
2. a move above `STRUGGLE`, i.e. any move Gen 1 does not have,
3. any party member holding mail.
If the party passes, `Link_PrepPartyData_Gen1` (`engine/link/link.asm:640`)
rewrites every mon into the 44-byte `REDMON_STRUCT_LENGTH` layout:
`ConvertMon_2to1` remaps the species index through `Pokered_MonIndices`
(`engine/link/time_capsule_2.asm:1`), the Special stat is recomputed from
`KantoMonSpecials` because Gen 1 has one Special and Gen 2 has two, and
Magnemite and Magneton are shipped as pure Electric because their typing changed
(`engine/link/link.asm:731`). Coming the other way, `Link_ConvertPartyStruct1to2`
(`engine/link/link.asm:930`) reads the Gen 1 catch rate byte as the held item
slot -- garbage, which is why `TimeCapsule_ReplaceTeruSama`
(`engine/link/link.asm:1078`) maps the handful of catch rates that collide with
real items through `data/items/catch_rate_items.asm` and turns everything else
into a Berry. `ValidateOTTrademon` (`engine/link/time_capsule.asm:1`) then
re-checks the incoming mon's types against the local base data and refuses
anything that does not agree, with Magnemite and Magneton carved out again.
The lesson the port should take from all of that: a cross-generation link is not
a compatibility mode, it is a lossy conversion with a validator on each end, and
the cart wrote roughly 400 lines for it. Refusing the pairing is the honest
default until somebody wants to write those 400 lines.
## 3. Where the Gen 1 protocol breaks on a Gen 2 record
`Protocol.packMon` / `Protocol.unpackMon` are shaped around
`src/pokemon/Pokemon.lua`. Against `src/battle/gen2/Mon.lua`, every one of these
is wrong:
| Gen 1 assumption | Gen 2 reality | Where |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mon.exp` | `mon.experience` | `Mon.new`, `Mon.gainExperience` |
| five DVs including `special` | four rolled DVs (`attack`/`defense`/`speed`/`special`) with `hp` **derived** from their low bits | `Mon.hpDV` |
| `special` is one stat | `specialAttack` and `specialDefense` are two stats off one DV | `Mon.stats` |
| `statExp` has five words | five words still, but the fifth feeds both special stats | `Mon.stats` |
| no held item | `mon.item` decides damage, healing and flinching | `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua` `heldEffect` |
| stats recomputed with `src/pokemon/Stats.lua` | must go through `Mon.stats`, which is a different formula shape | `Mon.stats` |
| exp curve via `src/pokemon/Growth.lua` (code) | curve coefficients are **data**, at `data.pokemon.growthRates` | `Mon.experienceForLevel` |
| `mon.status` is `"SLP"` / `"PSN"` / `"BRN"` / `"PAR"` / `"FRZ"` | `"sleep"` / `"poison"` / `"burn"` / `"paralyze"` / `"freeze"` / `"toxic"` | `src/battle/Status.lua:62` vs `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua:65` |
| `mv.ppUps` | Gen 2 has no PP Ups modelled yet; moves carry `id`, `pp`, `maxPp` | `Mon.movesAtLevel` |
| nothing else on the mon | `happiness`, `pokerus`, `caughtLevel`, `isEgg`/`eggSteps`, and the derived `shiny` / `gender` / `unownLetter` | `Mon.new` |
| mail does not exist | mail is a **separate** block keyed by party slot, not a mon field | `src/core/gen2/Mail.lua:84`, and the cart agrees (`Link_PrepPartyData_Gen2`) |
The status spelling is the sharpest of these. `packMon` puts `mon.status` on the
wire verbatim and `unpackMon` keeps it verbatim, so a shared codec would move
`"PSN"` onto a Gold party where nothing recognises it -- a mon that arrives
"poisoned" and never takes poison damage. Any Gen 2 codec has to be a separate
function with the generation baked into it, not a Gen 1 function with extra
optional keys.
Two things are *not* a problem, and it is worth saying so:
- **Species and move ids are shared name spaces.** Both generations key
`data.pokemon` and `data.moves` by the same `TOTODILE` / `TACKLE` strings, so
the wire never needs the cart's index remap (`ConvertMon_2to1`). Ids, not
bytes, is what makes the port's protocol simpler than the cable's.
- **The derived fields do not travel.** `shiny`, `gender` and `unownLetter` are
all functions of the DVs (`Mon.isShiny`, `Mon.gender`, `Unown.letterFromDVs`),
so the receiver recomputes them and a tampered packet cannot claim a shiny it
did not roll. Same reasoning as `unpackMon` recomputing stats.
`LinkBattle.lua` breaks in a larger way. It calls
`BattleState.makeBattler`, `src/battle/TurnOrder.lua` and Gen 1's damage
pipeline directly. Gold's battle is `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua`, a different
object with a different event shape. The one piece of good news is that
`Battle.new` already takes `opts.random` (`src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua:220`) --
the injection seam a lockstep battle needs is there and does not have to be cut.
## 4. The wire format for Gen 2
Message types stay the ones `Protocol.lua` already documents (`hello`,
`records`, `party`, `pick`, `confirm`, `action`, `event`, `bye`). Gen 2 adds
fields, never renames -- the same rule the mod seams follow.
**`hello`** gains one field, `generation` (1 or 2). A peer that omits it is
generation 1 by construction: no released build has ever had Gen 2 link, so
absent means Red/Blue/Yellow. This is implemented.
**`party`** carries a list of packed mons whose shape is the Gen 2 one:
```
{ species, level, experience, hp, status, nickname,
dvs = { attack, defense, speed, special }, -- hp derived
statExp = { hp, attack, defense, speed, special },
moves = { { id, pp } ... },
item, happiness, pokerus, caughtLevel,
ot, otId, isEgg, eggSteps, extra }
```
and, in a trade, a parallel `mail` array indexed by the same wire position --
separate exactly as `Link_PrepPartyData_Gen2` keeps it separate, because mail is
SRAM the cart copies out of `sPartyMail`, not part of the party struct. The
codec for the mon half is implemented; the mail half is not.
**`records`** gains a third map, `heldItems`, beside `pokemon` and `moves`, so a
subset trade can refuse a mon whose held item the other game would rebuild
differently. Implemented.
**`action` / `event`** for a lockstep Gen 2 battle are not designed here, because
the design is downstream of a decision nobody has made yet: whether
`src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua` grows a "replay these two actions" entry point or
whether the link battle drives it through the same UI path a local battle uses.
Guessing at a message shape before that is exactly the half-built protocol this
document is meant to avoid.
## 5. The fingerprint on Gold
The fingerprint is the one part of the design that is fully answerable today,
because it depends only on what a Gold mod can reach, and `src/mods/Schemas.lua`
answers that exhaustively.
The Gen 1 surface is species, moves, the type chart, statuses, move effects,
constants and mod-declared link fields. The Gen 2 surface is the same idea over
different tables, plus one registry Gen 1 does not have:
| What | Gen 1 | Gen 2 | Why it is surface |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| species | `data.pokemon` | `data.pokemon` (Gen 2 shape) | base stats decide every damage roll; `evolutions` decides what a traded mon becomes |
| exp curves | code (`src/pokemon/Growth.lua`) | `data.pokemon.growthRates` | the level a traded mon's experience buys |
| moves | `data.moves` | `data.moves`, **plus `effectChance`** | Gen 2 stores the secondary-effect odds per move rather than per effect |
| type chart | `data.type_chart` | same, **plus `foresightMatchups`** | Foresight rewrites Ghost's immunities mid-battle |
| statuses | `data.statuses` | `data.gen2Statuses` | `statPenalty`, `cureOnSwitch`, `beforeMovePriority` |
| move effects | `data.move_effects` | `data.gen2MoveEffects` | which effect is primary, secondary, or accuracy-checked |
| held items | -- | `data.gen2HeldItems` | Leftovers, King's Rock, the type boosters: pure battle math, and the item travels with a traded mon |
| link fields | `data.link_fields` | none (gated) | a mod-declared extra mon field; see below |
Deliberately **not** hashed on either generation, and the reasoning is the same
in both:
- Names, dex entries, learnsets, TM/HM lists, sprite paths and `source`. None of
them changes a battle turn or a trade rebuild, and sprite paths differ between
two identical installs.
- `catchRate` (#511). A ball thrown in a link battle is refused; hashing it split
Red/Blue from Yellow over two bytes.
- Balls and item effects. Link battles allow no bag items on either cart.
- `data.gen2Constants`. It is the ROM's ordered name lists -- `mapOrder`,
`spriteOrder`, `speciesOrder`, `heldEffectOrder` -- and it is an *index* space.
Every dispatch in the Gen 2 simulation goes by name (`Battle.heldEffect`
compares `record.heldEffect` strings, `moveEffectRecordFor` keys by
`EFFECT_*`), so reordering a constants list moves no battle math. Hashing it
would split two peers over a list neither of them dispatches on.
- Breeding data (`eggGroups`, `eggMoves`, `eggSteps`). The Day-Care is local.
There is no link breeding and an egg's contents are decided before it is
traded.
- Everything in the Gen 2-only registries that is not `held_items`:
`phone_contacts`, `decorations`, `apricorns`, `landmarks`, `radio_channels`.
None of them can be observed from inside a link session.
`genderRatio` **is** hashed, unlike anything in the breeding block, because Gen 2
has Attract and a gender disagreement is a battle-math disagreement.
`link_fields` stays gated on Gen 2 (`Schemas.GEN2`). It is a mod's declaration
that an extra mon field must survive the wire, and it can only be un-gated once
there is a Gen 2 mon wire format with a session behind it. A registry that hashes
into the fingerprint but that no packer reads would be a lie the fingerprint
tells.
The hook keeps its Gen 1 name and its Gen 1 arity. `link.fingerprint` is called
as `(data, mods)` on both generations, and the generation is captured in the
vanilla closure rather than passed as a third argument -- a Gen 1 mod that wraps
the hook and forwards `nxt(data, mods)` therefore works verbatim on Gold, which
a third argument would have quietly broken.
## 6. Cross-generation pairing
`Handshake.checkCompat` refuses a pairing whose two `generation` fields differ,
with reason `generation_mismatch`, before any other check. This is deliberately
a refusal and not a Time Capsule: section 2 costs roughly 400 lines of lossy
conversion plus two validators, and shipping a menu that pairs a Gold game with a
Red one and then rebuilds a Cyndaquil as whatever species index 155 happens to
be in Red would be worse than refusing.
If somebody does want the Time Capsule later, the cart's own rules are the spec,
and the port has an advantage the cart did not: ids rather than indices, so
`ConvertMon_2to1`'s remap table is unnecessary. What remains is real work:
refuse species above the Kanto 151, refuse moves Gen 1 lacks, refuse held items
and mail, fold `specialAttack`/`specialDefense` back into one Special
(`KantoMonSpecials`, `data/pokemon/gen1_base_special.asm`), and re-validate types
on arrival with Magnemite and Magneton carved out.
## 7. What is built, and what is left
**Built (this change).**
- `Fingerprint.generationOf(data)`: reads `data.type_chart.generation`, then the
presence of the Gen 2-only Data namespaces, so the digest never has to be told
which game it is running in.
- A Gen 2 link surface in `Fingerprint.lua`, tagged `[gen2]` so a Gen 2 digest
can never collide with a Gen 1 one, covering the table in section 5.
- `Fingerprint.records(data, kind, generation)` for `pokemon`, `moves` and
`held_items` on Gold, which is what a subset trade negotiates on.
- `Handshake.hello` carries `generation`; `checkCompat` refuses a cross-generation
pairing; `describe` explains it in the screen's own voice.
- `held_items` counts as link surface for `Handshake.linkModified`, so a Gold mod
that gives Leftovers a different heal is correctly locked out of online play.
`growth_rates` counts too, and for a reason worth stating: a curve is an
`expForLevel` function, so the fingerprint serializes it as `?` and cannot
hash it at all. `Mon.growthFor` prefers the merged registry over the
extractor's coefficient rows, so a mod declaring `affects_link = false` could
otherwise rewrite every curve -- changing what level a traded mon's experience
buys -- and be caught by neither the digest nor the online gate.
- `Protocol.packMon2` / `unpackMon2`: the Gen 2 party-struct codec, with the
receiver recomputing stats, experience, shininess and gender from real species
data the way `unpackMon` does. Nothing sends it yet.
- `Protocol.recordsMessage` and `eligibleParty` understand held items, and
`TradeSession:_negotiate` builds our own side of the comparison by calling
`recordsMessage` rather than open-coding a subset of it. That is not a
refactor: the open-coded version left `heldItems` off our side only, and both
held-item arms of `eligibleParty` are guarded on our own map, so the whole
check was unreachable from the only caller that matters.
**Not built.** Sized as honestly as I can:
| Piece | Size | Why it is not here |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mail on the wire | small (1-2 days) | needs `Mail.state(save).party` packed as a parallel array and the receiver writing it into its own slot; no consumer until the trade session exists |
| Gen 2 trade session | medium (about a week) | `TradeSession` is generic in shape but `apply` calls `src/world/PikachuFollower`, Gen 1 pokedex fields and Gen 1 trade evolutions; Gold needs `src/core/gen2/TradeAnim.lua`, `src/core/gen2/Evolution.lua` (`EVOLVE_TRADE`) and the Gen 2 pokedex |
| Gold LINK menu and trade UI | medium (about a week) | Gold's menus are `src/ui/gen2/`, its text box is Gen 2 chrome, and the Cable Club script needs the receptionist path; `LinkState.lua` draws with Gen 1 `TextBox` throughout |
| Gen 2 lockstep battle | large (several weeks) | needs a deterministic-replay entry point into `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua`, a Gen 2 action/event encoding, and a state hash over a much larger volatile-status set than Gen 1's; the `opts.random` seam exists, nothing else does |
| Time Capsule | large | section 6 |
| `link_fields` on Gen 2 | small, but blocked | needs the trade session first |
The order matters: mail, session and UI are the trade half and can ship without
the battle half, exactly as the cart's Trade Center and Colosseum are separate
rooms. A Gold LINK menu that offers only TRADE is a complete feature. A Gold
LINK menu that offers BATTLE before the lockstep battle exists is the failure
this document was written to prevent.

# Pokemon Gold: Gen 2 import, colour, menus, saving and battles
Support for a canonical **Pokemon Gold** ROM
(SHA-1 `d8b8a3600a465308c9953dfa04f0081c05bdcb94`, 2 MiB). Gen 2 extraction
and overworld are separate from Red/Blue/Yellow -- never branched into
`RomExtractor.lua` / Gen 1 `Map.lua`.
## Pipeline

| `src/script/gen2/` | Opcodes + talk-oriented VM over extracted cmds |
| `src/core/Game2.lua` | Gold's service owner (the Gen 2 peer of `src/core/Game.lua`): boot cinema, intro menu, world, START menu |
| `src/core/gen2/Save.lua` | `save_gold.lua`, beside the Gen 1 saves |
| `src/ui/gen2/` | Intro menu, naming keyboard, START menu + every submenu, battle screen |
| `src/battle/gen2/` | Damage, stats/experience, HP bar, turn engine, catching, encounters |
| `src/render/GbcPalette.lua` | One shader: a 4-shade sheet through a GBC palette |
## What extracts
| Area | Status |
| --- | --- |

Verified against a real Gold ROM: New Bark Town warps/objects/connections
match `pokegold/maps/NewBarkTown.asm`. Retail EVENT_* numeric ids differ
from prets current `const_def` order -- always take flags from the cart.
## Play
Launcher → Gold tab → Play opens `Game2` (`src/core/Game2.lua`):
- Copyright → GameFreak Presents → GS intro stub → title (colored tilemap,
scrolling clouds, Ho-Oh flap, trails) → Oak speech (Marill cry + shrink)
→ name pick → `src/world/gen2/World`
- Drivers (`POKEPORT_DRIVER`) skip cinema straight to the map
- New Bark Town with Johto tileset + roof overlay (outdoors only)
- Walk on `COLL_*` permissions; doors / stairs / carpets
- Elm's lab: scene walk-in, starter balls (`givepoke` + cutscene moves),
Elm phone number, aide Potion on exit (`verbosegiveitem`)
- Connected neighbor strips + seamless edge crossings (Route 29 / 27)
- Survey zoom (`-` / `=` / wheel / `4`)
- Chris + map/neighbor NPCs; `SPRITEMOVEDATA_*` walk / spin / stand
- New-game flags hide story NPCs (e.g. lab cop)
- A: talk to facing NPC or read `BGEVENT_READ` signs via Gen 2 VM + TextBox
Escape is START, not quit: quitting is the START menu's QUIT row and the
intro menu's EXIT GAME. Title / map music and script SFX/cries use the Gen 2
channel driver.
## Colour
Gen 2 is CGB-native, so colour is part of a tile's identity rather than a tint
over a 4-shade image. `engine/gfx/color.asm` LoadMapPals is ported whole in
`src/world/gen2/Palettes.lua`:
1. the clock hour picks a daytime (`engine/rtc/rtc.asm` TimesOfDay), which a
map's own `PALETTE_*` can override (`ReplaceTimeOfDayPals`)
2. `EnvironmentColorsPointers[environment][daytime]` names eight entries in the
shared `TilesetBGPalette` pool
3. outdoors only, `RoofPals[mapGroup]` overwrites `PAL_BG_ROOF` colours 1-2 --
one roof tile sheet, a different colour per town
4. each tile's slot comes from its tileset's `PalMap`, and each OW sprite's OBJ
palette from `MapObjectPals[daytime]` plus its own `PAL_OW_*`
The map bake runs one shader pass per BG slot (eight per map) rather than one
per tile, and re-bakes when the clock rolls into a new daytime.
`POKEPORT_GOLD_HOUR=21` pins the hour for screenshots.
## Still to do
About fifty of AI_Smart's seventy per-effect handlers are unwritten, fishing
and headbutt have engine support but no input path, and Mart, the summary
screen, `.sav` interchange, Silver and mod-replaceable Gen 2 screens are all
still open.

`POKEPORT_IMPORT_TRACE=1` prints each of the 26 stages as it starts, and a
headless import that fails now says so and exits non-zero rather than sitting
in an error state that looks exactly like a hang.
A Gold cache without `palettes.lua`, `moves.lua`, `encounters.lua`,
`trainers.lua`, `pokedex.lua`, `landmarks.lua`, `icons.lua`, `menu_gfx.lua`,
`intro.lua`, `std_scripts.lua` or `battle/hud/*.png` needs a re-import -- as
does one whose back pics are still the front pic's size rather than 48x48 (see
below), and one whose trainer classes have no `encounterMusic` (the sixth
pass added `TrainerEncounterMusic` to the manifest, so the manifest has to be
regenerated as well). So does one whose `text.lua` has no `labels` table: that
is the by-name seed for the text no script pointer reaches (the Day-Care and
breeding block, the mart conversation, the Hall of Fame headers), and it needs
a regenerated manifest too, because the seed reads those symbols by name.
## Traps this port has already fallen into
Worth knowing before touching the extractor:
- **Back pics are always 6x6 (48x48).** `BASE_PIC_SIZE`'s low nibble describes
the *front* pic only, so decoding a back at it reads the wrong tile count in
the wrong number of columns and produces garbage.
- **`#`, `<POKE>` and `<PKMN>` have no font tile.** They are compression bytes
($54/$24/$4a) that PlaceString expands; the manifest charmap has to expand
them or "#DEX" renders as "DEX".
- **FishGroups has no row for FISHGROUP_NONE**, so a group's row is its id minus
one. Walking the constant list from the top reads every row shifted.
- **Trainer groups have no end marker** -- the next group's label follows
immediately -- so a party scan needs the class's own member list to bound it.
- **Pokedex entries are spread over four banks** and the cart derives the bank
arithmetically; take each species' own symbol instead.
- **`EvosAttacksPointers` is `dw`, not `dba`**: the blobs share the table's bank.
- Item ids past NUM_ITEMS (the TMs and HMs) have no ItemNames row; their name is
their TM number.
- **`TrainerClassAttributes` rows are SEVEN bytes**, not eight:
`NUM_TRAINER_ATTRIBUTES` is `_RS` after three `rb` and two `rw`. An
eight-byte stride walks one byte further off with every class, so the AI
flags come out as noise for everything past the first trainer -- and it
produces plausible values rather than an error, which is how it survived two
passes. The row is {item1, item2, baseMoney, aiLo, aiHi, switchLo,
switchHi}: the base money is byte THREE.
- **`dba_pic` does not store the real bank.** For the three "Pics" sections
that sit above the 8-bit-friendly range it writes `$13`, `$14` or `$1f`, and
`FixPicBank` (engine/gfx/load_pics.asm) maps those back to `$1f`, `$20` and
`$2e`. Any table of pic pointers -- `PokemonPicPointers`,
`UnownPicPointers`, `TrainerPicPointers` -- needs that mapping, or the read
lands in a completely different bank.
- **A pic can run over the top of its bank.** `GetLZByte` bumps the bank and
drops back to `$4000` when the read pointer passes `$8000`, so a compressed
pic near the top of a bank keeps going into the next one; slicing only to
`$8000` stops short of nine of the Unown letters.
- **`BattleAnimObjects` rows are SIX bytes**, because `BATTLEANIMOBJ_LENGTH` is
`_RS - 1` -- the struct's runtime INDEX byte is not in the table.
- **Unown has no `PokemonPicPointers` row of its own**; its twenty-six forms
come out of `UnownPicPointers` instead, and letter A stands in for the
species.

# ASM Walk output format
Every `section-NN-*.md` in this folder follows the structure below. The goal is a
single place a bot author can look at to answer "for this stretch of the
walkthrough, which maps, warps, objects, scripts, flags, items and trainers are
involved, and where in the pokegold disassembly do they live?"
Conventions:
- Disassembly paths are written relative to the pokegold checkout root, e.g.
`maps/NewBarkTown.asm`, `data/maps/maps.asm`, `constants/event_flags.asm`.
- Port paths are written relative to this repo root, e.g. `src/world/gen2/Map.lua`.
- Coordinates are the raw asm values (map-block coordinates as written in the
`warp_event` / `object_event` / `bg_event` rows), not screen pixels.
- Anything not verified by opening the file is omitted rather than guessed. If a
walkthrough claim could not be located in the asm, it goes under
"Unresolved / verify by hand".

# Section NN - <title>
Source: `../section-NN-<slug>.txt`
Maps covered: `MAP_A`, `MAP_B`, ...
Badges / key milestones in this section: ...
## 1. Route order
Ordered list of map transitions the walkthrough takes, one row per hop.
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
## 2. Maps
Repeat this block per map.
### MAP_<NAME>
- Script: `maps/<Name>.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/<Name>.blk` (if present)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm` -> tileset, environment, location, music, phone, palette
- Dimensions / attributes: `constants/map_constants.asm` (`map_const <NAME>, W, H`)
- Connections: north/south/east/west map constants
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`) - the scripted trip-wires a bot will hit
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`) - signs, hidden items
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
**Object events** (`def_object_events`) - NPCs, item balls, trainers
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
**Scripts of interest**
For each script label the walkthrough actually depends on: label, a short prose
summary of what the opcodes do, and the flags/items/battles it touches. Cite the
label name so it can be grepped.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
Include `EVENT_*` (`constants/event_flags.asm`), `ENGINE_*`
(`constants/engine_flags.asm`), and any `SCENE_*` values
(`constants/map_setup_constants.asm` / the map's own `object_const_def` block).
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
**Wild encounters**
Table entry in `data/wild/johto_grass.asm` / `johto_water.asm` /
`kanto_grass.asm` / `kanto_water.asm`, plus fishing (`data/wild/fish.asm`),
headbutt (`data/wild/treemons.asm`) and rock smash where relevant. Note the
morn/day/nite split.
## 3. Blockers and gates
What actually stops forward progress in this section, and the precise check.
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
Cover badge checks, HM field-move checks (`engine/overworld/`), key items,
`EVENT_*` guards, and NPC-blocked tiles.
## 4. Bot checklist
The machine-actionable version: an ordered list of steps a scripted playthrough
would execute. Each step names the map, the target coordinates or object const,
the input intent (talk / walk / use item / battle), the precondition flag and the
postcondition flag. Keep it literal enough that someone can turn a row into a
driver command without reopening the asm.
## 5. Port coverage
Where this section's mechanics land in this repo, and what is missing.
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
Anything the walkthrough asserts that could not be pinned to a specific asm
location, plus any contradictions found between the two.

# Section 00 - Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile?
Source: `../section-00-chikorita-cyndaquil-or-totodile.txt`
Maps covered: `MAP_PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F`, `MAP_PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F`, `MAP_NEW_BARK_TOWN`, `MAP_ELMS_LAB`
Badges / key milestones in this section: no badge. Milestones are the new-game
clock set, the #GEAR from Mom (`ENGINE_POKEGEAR`), the first rival encounter,
and the starter (`EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM`), which is what un-gates the
walk west out of New Bark Town.
Coordinate note: every `warp_event` / `coord_event` / `bg_event` /
`object_event` x,y below is copied verbatim from the map asm. Those are 0-based
walk-grid cells (2 per map block, so a `W`-block-wide map runs x = 0..2W-1),
which is the same grid `src/world/gen2/Map.lua` calls a cell.

## 2. Maps
### MAP_PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F
- Script: `maps/PlayersHouse2F.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/PlayersHouse2F.blk`
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:478`): `map PlayersHouse2F, TILESET_PLAYERS_ROOM, INDOOR, LANDMARK_NEW_BARK_TOWN, MUSIC_NEW_BARK_TOWN, FALSE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions (`constants/map_constants.asm:443`): `map_const PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F, 4, 3` (4x3 blocks = 8x6 cells)
- Connections: none (indoor)
- Scene var: `wPlayersHouse2FSceneID` is *not* in `data/maps/scenes.asm`; the map has an empty `def_scene_scripts`
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7 | 0 | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F` | 3 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`)
None (the block is empty).

| 6 | 0 | `BGEVENT_IFSET` | `PlayersHousePosterScript` (guarded by `EVENT_PLAYERS_ROOM_POSTER`) |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `PLAYERSHOUSE2F_CONSOLE` | `SPRITE_CONSOLE` | 4 | 2 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `PlayersHouseGameConsoleScript` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F_CONSOLE` |
| `PLAYERSHOUSE2F_DOLL_1` | `SPRITE_DOLL_1` | 4 | 4 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `PlayersHouseDoll1Script` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F_DOLL_1` |
| `PLAYERSHOUSE2F_DOLL_2` | `SPRITE_DOLL_2` | 5 | 4 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `PlayersHouseDoll2Script` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F_DOLL_2` |
| `PLAYERSHOUSE2F_BIG_DOLL` | `SPRITE_BIG_DOLL` | 0 | 1 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_BIGDOLL` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `PlayersHouseBigDollScript` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F_BIG_DOLL` |
**Scripts of interest**
- `PlayersHouse2FInitializeRoomCallback` (`callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`): runs
`special ToggleDecorationsVisibility`, sets
`EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_8` (read by `engine/phone/scripts/mom.asm`),
then `checkevent EVENT_INITIALIZED_EVENTS` -> if clear,
`jumpstd InitializeEventsScript`. This is the one-time world seeding for a new
game: `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:438` sets ~70 `EVENT_*` bits including
`EVENT_COP_IN_ELMS_LAB` (which *hides* the officer), `EVENT_RIVAL_CHERRYGROVE_CITY`,
`EVENT_ROUTE_30_YOUNGSTER_JOEY`, and finally `EVENT_INITIALIZED_EVENTS`
(`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:557`) so it never runs again.
- `PlayersHouse2FSetUpTileDecorationsCallback` (`callback MAPCALLBACK_TILES`):
`special ToggleMaptileDecorations`.
- `PlayersHouseRadioScript`: three-branch. Before `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM`
it plays `MUSIC_POKEMON_TALK`, prints four texts and sets
`EVENT_LISTENED_TO_INITIAL_RADIO`; after that flag it prints only
`PlayersRadioText4`; after `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM` it becomes the normal
`jumpstd Radio1Script`. Purely flavour, no gate.
- `PlayersHousePCScript`: `special PlayersHousePC`, `iftrue .Warp` -> `warp NONE, 0, 0`
(the "leave the PC by warping in place" reload).
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_INITIALIZED_EVENTS` | `constants/event_flags.asm:63` | read by `PlayersHouse2FInitializeRoomCallback`, set by `InitializeEventsScript` | first-load-only world seed; must be clear on a fresh save |
| `EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_8` | `constants/event_flags.asm` | set here, read by `engine/phone/scripts/mom.asm:13` | "player is at home right now" |
| `EVENT_LISTENED_TO_INITIAL_RADIO` | `constants/event_flags.asm:468` | `PlayersHouseRadioScript` | shortens the radio text on repeat |
| `EVENT_PLAYERS_ROOM_POSTER` | `constants/event_flags.asm:378` | `conditional_event` in `PlayersHousePosterScript` | decoration present |
**Items**: none on this map.
**Trainers**: none.
**Wild encounters**: none (indoor).
### MAP_PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F
- Script: `maps/PlayersHouse1F.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/PlayersHouse1F.blk`
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:477`): `map PlayersHouse1F, TILESET_PLAYERS_HOUSE, INDOOR, LANDMARK_NEW_BARK_TOWN, MUSIC_NEW_BARK_TOWN, FALSE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions (`constants/map_constants.asm:442`): `map_const PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F, 5, 4` (10x8 cells)
- Connections: none (indoor)
- Scene var: `wPlayersHouse1FSceneID` (`data/maps/scenes.asm:30`). Scene ids come
from declaration order in `def_scene_scripts` (`macros/scripts/maps.asm:25`):
`SCENE_PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MEET_MOM` = 0, `SCENE_PLAYERSHOUSE1F_NOOP` = 1. A new game
zeroes the scene, so scene 0 is live on the first visit.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | 7 | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` | 2 |
| 2 | 7 | 7 | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` | 2 |
| 3 | 9 | 0 | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F` | 1 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`)
None. The Mom cutscene is a **scene script**, not a coord event: `scene_script
PlayersHouse1FMeetMomScene, SCENE_PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MEET_MOM` -> `sdefer MeetMomScript`,
so it fires on map entry from the stairs while the scene id is still 0.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `PlayersHouse1FStoveScript` |
| 1 | 1 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `PlayersHouse1FSinkScript` |
| 2 | 1 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `PlayersHouse1FFridgeScript` |
| 4 | 1 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `PlayersHouse1FTVScript` |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM1` | `SPRITE_MOM` | 7 | 3 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_LEFT` (time `-1`) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `MomScript` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_1` |
| `PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM2` | `SPRITE_MOM` | 2 | 2 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` (time `MORN`) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `MomScript` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_2` |
| `PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM3` | `SPRITE_MOM` | 7 | 3 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_LEFT` (time `DAY`) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `MomScript` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_2` |
| `PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM4` | `SPRITE_MOM` | 0 | 2 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` (time `NITE`) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `MomScript` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_2` |
Note the object flags are inverted relative to intuition: a *set* event flag hides
the object. Mom1 is the cutscene Mom (visible while `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_1`
is clear); `MeetMomScript` ends by setting `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_1` and
clearing `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_2`, which swaps in the three time-of-day Moms
on the next map load.
**Scripts of interest**
- `MeetMomScript` (the whole Pokegear beat, `maps/PlayersHouse1F.asm:21`):
1. `applymovement PLAYER, PlayersHouseDownstairsMovement` (one `step DOWN`, i.e. off the stair tile).
2. `playmusic MUSIC_MOM`, `turnobject PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM1, UP`, `showemote EMOTE_SHOCK, PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM1, 15`.
3. `applymovement PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM1, MomWalksToPlayerMovement` (`slow_step RIGHT, RIGHT, UP`: (7,3) -> (9,2), beside the player at (9,1)).
4. `writetext ElmsLookingForYouText`, `getstring STRING_BUFFER_4, PokegearName` ("#GEAR"), `scall PlayersHouse1FReceiveItemStd` -> `jumpstd ReceiveItemScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:656`).
5. `setflag ENGINE_POKEGEAR`, `setflag ENGINE_PHONE_CARD`, `addcellnum PHONE_MOM`.
6. `setscene SCENE_PLAYERSHOUSE1F_NOOP`, `setevent EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_1`, `clearevent EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_2`.
7. `special SetDayOfWeek`, then the DST loop: `IsItDSTText` -> `yesorno` -> `special InitialSetDSTFlag` / `special InitialClearDSTFlag`, each confirmed by a second `yesorno` that loops back to `.SetDayOfWeek` on "no".
8. Phone-instructions branch (`.KnowPhone` / `.ExplainPhone`, both fall into `.FinishPhone`), then `applymovement PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MOM1, MomWalksBackMovement` and `special RestartMapMusic`.
Crucially the #GEAR is **not** an inventory item: it is two engine flags. There
is no `giveitem` in this script.
- `MomScript` (talking to Mom afterwards): checks, in order,
`EVENT_FIRST_TIME_BANKING_WITH_MOM` -> `EVENT_TALKED_TO_MOM_AFTER_MYSTERY_EGG_QUEST`
-> `EVENT_GAVE_MYSTERY_EGG_TO_ELM` -> `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM`; in this
section all four are clear so it prints `HurryUpElmIsWaitingText`. The
`special BankOfMom` path is not reachable yet.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_POKEGEAR` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:8` | set by `MeetMomScript` | Pokegear menu becomes usable |

| `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_1` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1129` | set by `MeetMomScript` | hides the cutscene Mom |
| `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_2` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1130` | cleared by `MeetMomScript` | reveals the time-of-day Moms |
| `SCENE_PLAYERSHOUSE1F_MEET_MOM` (0) / `SCENE_PLAYERSHOUSE1F_NOOP` (1) | `maps/PlayersHouse1F.asm:9-10` | `setscene` at step 6 | scene 0 must be live exactly once |
| `PHONE_MOM` | `constants/phone_constants.asm` (via `addcellnum`) | `MeetMomScript` | Mom's number in the Pokegear |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| POKEGEAR (not an item - `ENGINE_POKEGEAR` + `ENGINE_PHONE_CARD`) | Mom cutscene | `MeetMomScript` | `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_1` / `SCENE_PLAYERSHOUSE1F_NOOP` |
**Trainers**: none.
**Wild encounters**: none (indoor).
### MAP_NEW_BARK_TOWN
- Script: `maps/NewBarkTown.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/NewBarkTown.blk`
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:475`): `map NewBarkTown, TILESET_JOHTO, TOWN, LANDMARK_NEW_BARK_TOWN, MUSIC_NEW_BARK_TOWN, FALSE, PALETTE_AUTO, FISHGROUP_OCEAN`
- Dimensions (`constants/map_constants.asm:440`): `map_const NEW_BARK_TOWN, 10, 9` (20x18 cells)
- Connections (`data/maps/attributes.asm:119-121`): `map_attributes NewBarkTown, NEW_BARK_TOWN, $05`, `connection west, Route29, ROUTE_29, 0`, `connection east, Route27, ROUTE_27, 0`
- Scene var: `wNewBarkTownSceneID` (`data/maps/scenes.asm:28`).
`SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_TEACHER_STOPS_YOU` = 0, `SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_NOOP` = 1.
- Fly point / spawn: `NewBarkTownFlypointCallback` sets `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_NEW_BARK`
(`constants/engine_flags.asm:79`) on every `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`, and also
`clearevent EVENT_FIRST_TIME_BANKING_WITH_MOM`. `SPAWN_NEW_BARK` is
(13,6) in `data/maps/spawn_points.asm:27`.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | 3 | `ELMS_LAB` | 1 |
| 2 | 13 | 5 | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F` | 1 |
| 3 | 3 | 11 | `PLAYERS_NEIGHBORS_HOUSE` | 1 |
| 4 | 11 | 13 | `ELMS_HOUSE` | 1 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`)
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_TEACHER_STOPS_YOU` (0) | 1 | 8 | `NewBarkTown_TeacherStopsYouScene1` | teacher walks 4x LEFT to (2,8), `follow`s the player and drags them back 4x RIGHT |
| `SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_TEACHER_STOPS_YOU` (0) | 1 | 9 | `NewBarkTown_TeacherStopsYouScene2` | same, 5 steps, teacher ends at (1,8) facing DOWN |
These two cells are the entire west-exit gate. There is no coord event on the
east side.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)

**Scripts of interest**
- `NewBarkTownRivalScript` (the "he'll push you out of the way" beat): no
`faceplayer`. Prints `NewBarkTownRivalText1` ("So this is the famous ELM #MON
LAB…"), `turnobject NEWBARKTOWN_RIVAL, LEFT`, prints `NewBarkTownRivalText2`,
then `follow PLAYER, NEWBARKTOWN_RIVAL` +
`applymovement PLAYER, NewBarkTown_RivalPushesYouAwayMovement` (`turn_head UP`,
`step DOWN`), `stopfollow`, `turnobject NEWBARKTOWN_RIVAL, DOWN`,
`playsound SFX_TACKLE`, `applymovement PLAYER, NewBarkTown_RivalShovesYouOutMovement`
(`fix_facing`, `jump_step DOWN`), and the rival steps RIGHT back to (3,2).
**It sets no flag** - it is repeatable and skippable. `EVENT_RIVAL_NEW_BARK_TOWN`
is only set much later, at `maps/MrPokemonsHouse.asm:122`.
- `NewBarkTown_TeacherStopsYouScene1/2`: the "It's dangerous to go out without a
#MON!" block. Ends with `special RestartMapMusic` and does **not** change the
scene, so it re-fires every time you step on (1,8)/(1,9) until the scene id is
changed from Elm's Lab.
- `NewBarkTownTeacherScript`: four-way text branch on
`EVENT_TALKED_TO_MOM_AFTER_MYSTERY_EGG_QUEST` / `EVENT_GAVE_MYSTERY_EGG_TO_ELM` /
`EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM`; flavour only.
- `NewBarkTownFlypointCallback`: `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_NEW_BARK` on first entry.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_TEACHER_STOPS_YOU` (0) | `maps/NewBarkTown.asm:8` | cleared to `SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_NOOP` by `ElmDirectionsScript`'s `setmapscene NEW_BARK_TOWN, SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_NOOP` | the west-exit gate |
| `EVENT_RIVAL_NEW_BARK_TOWN` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1119` | set at `maps/MrPokemonsHouse.asm:122` | rival object hidden once set; clear (visible) all through this section |

**Items**: none. See "Unresolved" for the Everstone.
**Trainers**: none. The rival encounter here is a conversation, not a battle.
**Wild encounters**
- No `def_grass_wildmons NEW_BARK_TOWN` entry exists in `data/wild/johto_grass.asm`.
- Water (`data/wild/johto_water.asm:211`): `def_water_wildmons NEW_BARK_TOWN`,
`db 6 percent`, `db 20, TENTACOOL` / `db 15, TENTACOOL` / `db 20, TENTACRUEL`.
Needs Surf, unreachable this section.
- Fishing: the header's `FISHGROUP_OCEAN` selects
`data/wild/fish.asm` `.Ocean_Old` (Magikarp 10 / Magikarp 10 / Tentacool 10),
`.Ocean_Good`, `.Ocean_Super`. No rod yet.
- Headbutt: `data/wild/treemon_maps.asm:28` `treemon_map NEW_BARK_TOWN, TREEMON_SET_CITY`
-> `data/wild/treemons.asm:18` `TreeMonSet_City` (Venonat/Abra/Venomoth common,
Venonat/Magnemite/Abra/Venomoth rare, all L15). Needs TM02, far later.
### MAP_ELMS_LAB
- Script: `maps/ElmsLab.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/ElmsLab.blk`
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:476`): `map ElmsLab, TILESET_LAB, INDOOR, LANDMARK_NEW_BARK_TOWN, MUSIC_PROF_ELM, FALSE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions (`constants/map_constants.asm:441`): `map_const ELMS_LAB, 5, 6` (10x12 cells)
- Connections: none (indoor)
- Scene var: `wElmsLabSceneID` (`data/maps/scenes.asm:29`). Declaration order
gives `SCENE_ELMSLAB_MEET_ELM` = 0, `SCENE_ELMSLAB_CANT_LEAVE` = 1,
`SCENE_ELMSLAB_NOOP` = 2, `SCENE_ELMSLAB_MEET_OFFICER` = 3,
`SCENE_ELMSLAB_UNUSED` = 4, `SCENE_ELMSLAB_AIDE_GIVES_POTION` = 5,
`SCENE_ELMSLAB_AIDE_GIVES_POKE_BALLS` = 6 (the last one is a bare
`scene_const`, no script row).

The ball order on screen is left-to-right **Cyndaquil (6,3), Totodile (7,3),
Chikorita (8,3)** - not the Pokedex order the walkthrough's title uses. The
officer is hidden all through this section because `InitializeEventsScript`
*sets* `EVENT_COP_IN_ELMS_LAB` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:469`).
**Scripts of interest**
- `ElmsLabMeetElmScene` (scene 0) -> `sdefer ElmsLabWalkUpToElmScript`:
`applymovement PLAYER, ElmsLab_WalkUpToElmMovement` (nine `step UP` then
`turn_head RIGHT`, i.e. from the door at (4,11) up to (4,2) beside Elm at
(5,2)), `turnobject ELMSLAB_ELM, LEFT`, `writetext ElmText_Intro` (the Mr.
Pokemon errand speech), then `setscene SCENE_ELMSLAB_CANT_LEAVE`.
- `CyndaquilPokeBallScript` / `TotodilePokeBallScript` / `ChikoritaPokeBallScript`:
identical shape. `checkevent EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM` -> if set, just
`LookAtElmPokeBallScript`. Otherwise `turnobject ELMSLAB_ELM, DOWN`,
`reanchormap`, `pokepic <SPECIES>`, `cry <SPECIES>`, `closepokepic`,
`writetext Take<Species>Text`, `yesorno`; `iffalse DidntChooseStarterScript`
(fully cancellable, nothing is written). On yes:
`disappear ELMSLAB_POKE_BALL<n>`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_<SPECIES>_FROM_ELM`,
`ChoseStarterText`, `getmonname STRING_BUFFER_3`, `ReceivedStarterText`,
`playsound SFX_CAUGHT_MON`, then **`givepoke <SPECIES>, 5, BERRY`** - level 5,
holding a BERRY. Finally an `applymovement` that walks the player to (5,3),
directly below Elm, and `sjump ElmDirectionsScript`:
- Cyndaquil: `readvar VAR_FACING` / `ifequal RIGHT, ElmDirectionsScript` (skips the walk if you took it from the left side), else `AfterCyndaquilMovement` = LEFT, UP.
- Totodile: `AfterTotodileMovement` = LEFT, LEFT, UP.
- Chikorita: `AfterChikoritaMovement` = LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, UP.
- `ElmDirectionsScript` - the one script that opens the section up:
`turnobject PLAYER, UP`, three Elm texts, `addcellnum PHONE_ELM`,
`playsound SFX_REGISTER_PHONE_NUMBER`, then
`setevent EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM`,
`setevent EVENT_RIVAL_CHERRYGROVE_CITY`,
`setscene SCENE_ELMSLAB_AIDE_GIVES_POTION`,
`setmapscene NEW_BARK_TOWN, SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_NOOP`.
That last opcode is what removes the teacher gate.
- `AideScript_GivePotion` (reached by the (4,8)/(5,8) coord events once the scene
is 5): `writetext AideText_GiveYouPotion`, `verbosegiveitem POTION`,
`AideText_AlwaysBusy`, `setscene SCENE_ELMSLAB_NOOP`. One-shot, gated by the
scene id rather than an event flag.
- `LabTryToLeaveScript`: the "you cannot walk out yet" push-back described above.
- `ElmsLabHealingMachine` (bg_event at (2,1)): before
`EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM` it just prints text; after, it offers a
`yesorno` -> `special HealParty`, `setval HEALMACHINE_ELMS_LAB`,
`special HealMachineAnim`. Free healing point for a bot from this section on.
- `ProfElmScript`: long check chain. In this section every branch falls through
to `writetext ElmText_LetYourMonBattleIt` (after the starter) or
`ElmDescribesMrPokemonScript`. The `ElmGiveEverstoneScript` arm needs
`EVENT_SHOWED_TOGEPI_TO_ELM`; the Master Ball arm needs `ENGINE_RISINGBADGE`;
the S.S. Ticket arm needs `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_FOUR`.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM` | `constants/event_flags.asm:35` | set by `ElmDirectionsScript`; read by the ball scripts, `MomScript`, `NewBarkTownTeacherScript`, `PlayersHouseRadioScript`, `ElmsLabHealingMachine` | the section's terminal flag |

| `EVENT_ELMS_AIDE_IN_LAB` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1187` | cleared at `maps/VioletPokecenter1F.asm:31`, set at `engine/phone/scripts/elm.asm:85` | aide visible (flag clear) this section |
| `EVENT_RIVAL_CHERRYGROVE_CITY` | `constants/event_flags.asm` | set by `InitializeEventsScript` and again by `ElmDirectionsScript` | Cherrygrove rival still hidden |
| `EVENT_GOT_EVERSTONE_FROM_ELM` | `constants/event_flags.asm:95` | `ElmGiveEverstoneScript` | **not reachable in this section** |
| `SCENE_ELMSLAB_*` | `maps/ElmsLab.asm:11-17` | `setscene` / `setmapscene` | drives every coord event on the map |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `POTION` | walk onto (4,8) or (5,8) on the way out after picking a starter | `AideScript_GivePotion` (`verbosegiveitem POTION`) | `SCENE_ELMSLAB_AIDE_GIVES_POTION` -> `SCENE_ELMSLAB_NOOP` |
| starter, L5, holding `BERRY` | `givepoke` in the chosen ball script | `CyndaquilPokeBallScript` / `TotodilePokeBallScript` / `ChikoritaPokeBallScript` | `EVENT_GOT_<SPECIES>_FROM_ELM` + `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM` |
| `EVERSTONE` | Elm, **after** showing him a hatched Togepi | `ElmGiveEverstoneScript` (`maps/ElmsLab.asm:341`) | `EVENT_GOT_EVERSTONE_FROM_ELM` |
| `POKE_BALL` x5 | aide, after the Mystery Egg hand-off | `AideScript_GiveYouBalls` | `SCENE_ELMSLAB_AIDE_GIVES_POKE_BALLS` -> `SCENE_ELMSLAB_NOOP` |
**Trainers**: none. No `loadtrainer` / `startbattle` anywhere in
`maps/ElmsLab.asm`, `maps/NewBarkTown.asm`, `maps/PlayersHouse1F.asm` or
`maps/PlayersHouse2F.asm`.
**Wild encounters**: none (indoor).
**Starter data** (`data/pokemon/evos_attacks.asm`, checked against the
walkthrough's claims - all three match)
| species | evolves | L5 known moves | later moves the FAQ names |
|---|---|---|---|
| `CHIKORITA` | `EVOLVE_LEVEL, 16, BAYLEEF`; Bayleef `EVOLVE_LEVEL, 32, MEGANIUM` | TACKLE (1), GROWL (1) | RAZOR_LEAF 8, REFLECT 12, POISONPOWDER 15, SYNTHESIS 22, BODY_SLAM 29, LIGHT_SCREEN 36, SAFEGUARD 43, SOLARBEAM 50 |
| `CYNDAQUIL` | `EVOLVE_LEVEL, 14, QUILAVA`; Quilava `EVOLVE_LEVEL, 36, TYPHLOSION` | TACKLE (1), LEER (1) | SMOKESCREEN 6, EMBER 12, QUICK_ATTACK 19, FLAME_WHEEL 27, SWIFT 36, FLAMETHROWER 46 |

Note the FAQ's move lists are aspirational (they mix level-up moves with HM03 /
HM04). At the moment you receive it the starter knows exactly its two level-1
moves; Cyndaquil does **not** have Ember yet at L5.
## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clock must be set before the world exists | `engine/menus/intro_menu.asm:494` `OakSpeech` -> `farcall InitClock` (`engine/rtc/timeset.asm:4`); default hour is 10 (`ld a, 10 ; default hour = 10 AM`) | hour then minute then a `YesNoBox` confirm each | answering "yes" to both confirmations |
| Player must be named | `engine/menus/intro_menu.asm` `NamePlayer` -> `ShowPlayerNamingChoices` / `StorePlayerName` | pick a preset or type a name | any accepted name |
| Cannot walk out of Elm's Lab before the errand speech ends | `maps/ElmsLab.asm` coord events (4,6) and (5,6) under `SCENE_ELMSLAB_CANT_LEAVE`, script `LabTryToLeaveScript` | scene id must leave 1 | `ElmDirectionsScript`'s `setscene SCENE_ELMSLAB_AIDE_GIVES_POTION` - i.e. take a starter |
| Cannot leave New Bark Town west toward Route 29 | `maps/NewBarkTown.asm` coord events (1,8) and (1,9) under `SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_TEACHER_STOPS_YOU`, scripts `NewBarkTown_TeacherStopsYouScene1/2` | scene id must leave 0 | `ElmDirectionsScript`'s `setmapscene NEW_BARK_TOWN, SCENE_NEWBARKTOWN_NOOP` |
| Aide's Potion is scene-gated, not flag-gated | `maps/ElmsLab.asm` coord events (4,8)/(5,8), `AideScript_GivePotion` | be on scene 5 and step on x=4 or 5, y=8 | script itself does `setscene SCENE_ELMSLAB_NOOP` |
| Everstone (listed by the FAQ under New Bark Town) | `maps/ElmsLab.asm:63,338-347` `ElmCheckEverstone` / `ElmGiveEverstoneScript` | `EVENT_SHOWED_TOGEPI_TO_ELM`, which needs a hatched Togepi in the party (`special FindPartyMonThatSpeciesYourTrainerID`) | many sections later |
No HM field-move gate applies in this section: nothing under
`engine/overworld/` (cut/surf/strength/whirlpool/waterfall/flash/fly) is
consulted between the bedroom and the starter.
## 4. Bot checklist
| # | Map | Target | Intent | Precondition | Postcondition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | - (main menu) | NEW GAME | menu select | fresh save | `NewGame` runs `ResetWRAM` |
| 2 | - (`InitClock`) | hour, then minute, then yes/no per field | menu | in `OakSpeech` | RTC base written; default hour 10 |
| 3 | - (`NamePlayer`) | any name | naming screen | after `OakText6` | `wPlayerName` set |
| 4 | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F` | spawn (3,3) | - | `SPAWN_HOME` | `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` runs `InitializeEventsScript` once; `EVENT_INITIALIZED_EVENTS` set |
| 5 | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F` | warp 1 at (7,0) | walk onto | - | now on `PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F` warp 3 (9,0) |
| 6 | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F` | (scene 0 auto-fires) | wait / mash A through `MeetMomScript` | `wPlayersHouse1FSceneID` == 0 | `ENGINE_POKEGEAR`, `ENGINE_PHONE_CARD`, `PHONE_MOM`, `EVENT_PLAYERS_HOUSE_MOM_1`, scene -> 1 |
| 6a | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F` | DST `yesorno` pair | answer, then confirm | inside `MeetMomScript` | answering "no" to the confirm loops back to `.SetDayOfWeek` - a bot must confirm, not just answer |
| 7 | `PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F` | warp 1 (6,7) or warp 2 (7,7) | walk onto | - | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` at warp 2 (13,5) |
| 8 | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` | object `NEWBARKTOWN_RIVAL` at (3,2) | talk (optional) | rival visible while `EVENT_RIVAL_NEW_BARK_TOWN` clear | pushed one cell DOWN + a `jump_step DOWN`; **no flag set**, skippable |
| 9 | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` | warp 1 at (6,3) | walk onto | avoid (1,8)/(1,9) until step 12 | `ELMS_LAB` at warp 1 (4,11) |
| 10 | `ELMS_LAB` | (scene 0 auto-fires) | wait / mash A | `wElmsLabSceneID` == 0 | player auto-walked to (4,2); scene -> 1 (`CANT_LEAVE`) |
| 11 | `ELMS_LAB` | ball object: (6,3) Cyndaquil / (7,3) Totodile / (8,3) Chikorita | face + A, answer **yes** to `yesorno` | `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM` clear | starter L5 w/ BERRY in party; `EVENT_GOT_<SP>_FROM_ELM`; ball disappears; auto-walk to (5,3); `ElmDirectionsScript` runs -> `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM`, `PHONE_ELM`, `ELMS_LAB` scene -> 5, `NEW_BARK_TOWN` scene -> 1 |
| 12 | `ELMS_LAB` | (4,8) or (5,8) | walk onto on the way out | scene == 5 | `POTION` in bag; scene -> 2 (`NOOP`) |
| 13 | `ELMS_LAB` | bg_event (2,1) | face UP + A -> yes (optional) | `EVENT_GOT_A_POKEMON_FROM_ELM` set | party healed (`special HealParty`) |
| 14 | `ELMS_LAB` | warp 1 (4,11) or warp 2 (5,11) | walk onto | - | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` (6,3) |
| 15 | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` | west edge past (1,8)/(1,9) | walk west | `NEW_BARK_TOWN` scene == 1 | crosses the `connection west, Route29` into `ROUTE_29` - section 01 |
## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Title -> NEW GAME -> Oak speech -> name pick -> naming screen -> bedroom | `src/ui/gen2/TitleState.lua`, `src/ui/gen2/MainMenu.lua`, `src/ui/gen2/OakSpeech.lua`, `src/ui/gen2/NamePick.lua`, `src/ui/gen2/NamingScreen.lua`; asserted end-to-end by `tests/drivers/gold_boot_smoke.lua` | implemented |
| `InitClock` (the "what time is it?" / minute screens) | none - `src/ui/gen2/OakSpeech.lua:3` says outright "Gender select / InitClock are Crystal-later" | **missing** (bot step 2 has no screen to drive) |
| `SPAWN_HOME` start at `PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F` (3,3) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:228-232` (`START_MAP = "PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F"`, cites `data/maps/spawn_points.asm`) | implemented |
| Map load, warps, collision, connections | `src/world/gen2/Map.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua`; `tests/drivers/gold_walk_smoke.lua`, `tests/drivers/gold_warp_scene.lua` (asserts the New Bark door lands on `ELMS_LAB`) | implemented |
| Scene scripts + coord events (the mechanism every gate in this section uses) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5011-5035` (`coordEvents` scan filtered by `self:scene()`, `sceneScripts` lookup), extracted by `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:804-977` | implemented |
| `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` / `MAPCALLBACK_TILES`, `ToggleDecorationsVisibility`, `ToggleMaptileDecorations` | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:489-505`, `tests/drivers/gold_map_callbacks.lua`, `tests/gen2_map_callbacks_test.lua` | implemented |
| `MeetMomScript` (emote, follow-free walk-in, `yesorno` under a prompt, mid-scene object swap) | driven by the VM; regression driver `tests/drivers/gold_mom_scene.lua` exists specifically for this scene; the Mom object-swap timing is commented at `src/world/gen2/World.lua:558-568,730` | implemented |
| `special SetDayOfWeek` / `InitialSetDSTFlag` / `InitialClearDSTFlag` | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:836-860` | partial - the flags/RTC fields are written from the host clock, but no day-of-week picker UI is drawn, so the player never chooses |
| Teacher west-exit gate | `tests/drivers/gold_teacher_scene.lua` (asserts `follow` drags the player back and she stands beside them) | implemented |
| Rival push-out (`follow` + `jump_step` + `SFX_TACKLE`) | VM ops `follow`/`stopfollow` (`src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:117-118`), movement in `src/script/gen2/Movement.lua` | partial - opcodes present, no driver covering `NewBarkTownRivalScript` specifically |
| Starter pick: `pokepic`, `cry`, `yesorno`, `disappear`, `givepoke SP, 5, BERRY` | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:91-92,51`; `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:386-394` (`pokepic` -> `showPicFn`), `:439-445` (`givepoke` -> `givePokeFn` with species/level/held item) | partial - all opcodes implemented, but no driver or test in `tests/drivers/gold_*.lua` walks the Elm's Lab starter choice end to end |
| `verbosegiveitem POTION` (aide) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:490-510` (received text, SFX, "put in the ITEM POCKET") | implemented |
| `addcellnum PHONE_MOM` / `PHONE_ELM`, Pokegear phone card | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:611`, `src/core/gen2/Phone.lua:137,146`, `src/ui/gen2/Pokegear.lua` | implemented |
| `special HealParty` / `HealMachineAnim` (lab healing machine) | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:456` | implemented |
| `special PlayersHousePC` + `warp NONE, 0, 0` | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:467-487`, `src/ui/gen2/PcMenu.lua` | implemented |
| `special NameRival` (fires next section, from `CopScript`) | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:825-828` -> `World:nameRival` (`src/world/gen2/World.lua:4931`) | implemented |
| Event-flag bitfield semantics (set flag = object hidden) | `src/world/gen2/Events.lua` (header comment cites `CheckObjectFlag` in `map_objects_2.asm`) | implemented |
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Everstone.** The FAQ lists "Everstone" under "Items found in New Bark Town".
There is no Everstone item ball, hidden item or bg_event on `MAP_NEW_BARK_TOWN`,
`MAP_ELMS_LAB`, `MAP_PLAYERS_HOUSE_1F` or `MAP_PLAYERS_HOUSE_2F`. The only New
Bark Town Everstone is `ElmGiveEverstoneScript` (`maps/ElmsLab.asm:338-347`),
which requires `EVENT_SHOWED_TOGEPI_TO_ELM` - a hatched Togepi shown to Elm,
many sections later. Treat the FAQ line as forward-looking, not as an item to
collect here.
- **"Pokegear" as an item.** The FAQ says "You get the Pokegear". In the asm it is
`setflag ENGINE_POKEGEAR` + `setflag ENGINE_PHONE_CARD`, with the item name
faked through `getstring STRING_BUFFER_4, PokegearName` ("#GEAR") into the
standard `ReceiveItemScript` text. Nothing enters the bag - a bot must not
check inventory for it.
- **"Professor Oak will ask you the time. First answer what hour it is and what
minute it is."** `InitClock` (`engine/rtc/timeset.asm`) is reached from
`OakSpeech` *before* any Oak text is printed (`farcall InitClock` is the first
instruction of `OakSpeech`), so the clock screen actually comes first and Oak's
greeting second. The FAQ's ordering is the reverse.
- **"even if you don't have the GBA on, the time will keep running"** - an RTC
hardware claim, nothing in the disassembly to cite; ignore.
- **East exit toward Route 27.** `data/maps/attributes.asm:121` gives New Bark Town
a `connection east, Route27, ROUTE_27, 0`, and unlike the west side there is
*no* coord event guarding it. Whether a bot can actually walk east before
getting Surf depends on the shoreline tiles in `maps/NewBarkTown.blk`, which I
did not decode. Verify by hand before relying on the west gate as the only exit
block.
- **Teacher gate coverage.** Only (1,8) and (1,9) carry coord events. If the map's
west connection strip is reachable at any other y, the gate has a hole. I read
the coord table but not the collision data, so this is unverified.
- **Rival battle.** The FAQ says only that he pushes you; confirmed - there is no
`loadtrainer`/`startbattle` in `NewBarkTownRivalScript`. The first rival battle
is not in this section.

Maps covered: `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_1F`, `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_2F`, `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_3F`,
`MAP_VIOLET_CITY`, `MAP_VIOLET_POKECENTER_1F`, `MAP_VIOLET_GYM`
Badges / key milestones in this section: HM05 Flash (`EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH`),
the Sprout Tower rival cutscene (`EVENT_RIVAL_SPROUT_TOWER`), ZEPHYRBADGE
(`ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE`, `EVENT_BEAT_FALKNER`), TM31 Mud-Slap
(`EVENT_GOT_TM31_MUD_SLAP`).
All map constants below use the `MAP_*` spelling that both
`constants/map_constants.asm` and this port's map ids use; the port's
`World:setMap` takes exactly the bare constant name (`"SPROUT_TOWER_1F"`), which
is what `tools/rom_manifest_gold.json` -> `constants.mapGroups` stores.

## 1. Route order
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_1F` | `maps/SproutTower1F.asm` | `MAP_VIOLET_CITY` warp 7 at (23,5) -> 1F warp 1 (9,15) | 1F warp 3 (6,4) -> 2F warp 1 | "Head up the stairs to Floor 2." |
| 2 | `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_2F` | `maps/SproutTower2F.asm` | 2F warp 1 (6,4) | 2F warp 3 (17,3) -> 1F warp 5 | Sage Nico at (14,4), then "down the stairs" |
| 3 | `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_1F` | `maps/SproutTower1F.asm` | 1F warp 5 (17,3) | 1F warp 4 (2,6) -> 2F warp 2 | Parlyz Heal ball at (16,7), then Sage Chow at (2,1) |
| 4 | `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_2F` | `maps/SproutTower2F.asm` | 2F warp 2 (2,6) | 2F warp 4 (10,14) -> 3F warp 1 | X Defend ball at (3,1), Sage Edmond at (3,15) |
| 5 | `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_3F` | `maps/SproutTower3F.asm` | 3F warp 1 (10,14) | 3F warp 1 (10,14) -> 2F warp 4 | Potion, Jin/Neal/Troy, rival cutscene, Sage Li, HM05, Escape Rope |
| 6 | `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_2F` -> `MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_1F` | as above | 2F warp 4 / 1F warps 3-5 | 1F warp 1 (9,15) or warp 2 (10,15) -> `MAP_VIOLET_CITY` warp 7 | "Get out of the tower" (Escape Rope also legal: the tower is `DUNGEON`) |
| 7 | `MAP_VIOLET_CITY` | `maps/VioletCity.asm` | city warp 7 (23,5) | city warp 5 (31,25) | "go back to the Pokemon Center of Violet City" |
| 8 | `MAP_VIOLET_POKECENTER_1F` | `maps/VioletPokecenter1F.asm` | PC warp 1 (3,7) | PC warp 1/2 (3,7)/(4,7) | Heal at the nurse before the gym |
| 9 | `MAP_VIOLET_CITY` | `maps/VioletCity.asm` | city warp 5 (31,25) | city warp 2 (18,17) | "head northwest in the city to the Violet City Gym" |
| 10 | `MAP_VIOLET_GYM` | `maps/VioletGym.asm` | gym warp 1 (4,15) | gym warp 1/2 (4,15)/(5,15) -> `MAP_VIOLET_CITY` warp 2 | Abe, Rod, Falkner, ZEPHYRBADGE + TM31 |
| 11 | `MAP_VIOLET_CITY` | `maps/VioletCity.asm` | city warp 2 (18,17) | (section ends) | Section closes with the badge in hand |
Spills into the next section: beating Falkner runs `specialphonecall
SPECIALCALL_ASSISTANT` (`maps/VioletGym.asm`), whose Elm phone script
(`engine/phone/scripts/elm.asm`, `.assistant`) clears
`EVENT_ELMS_AIDE_IN_VIOLET_POKEMON_CENTER` so the aide appears in
`MAP_VIOLET_POKECENTER_1F` with the Togepi egg, and sets
`SCENE_ROUTE32_OFFER_SLOWPOKETAIL` when the egg is taken. That whole beat
belongs to the next section; it is listed here only because the trigger lives
in this section's gym script.

**Scripts of interest**
- `TrainerSageChow` (`42:400e`): `trainer SAGE, CHOW, EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_CHOW,
SageChowSeenText, SageChowBeatenText, 0, .Script`. Loss text is `0`. The
after-battle arm `.Script` (`42:401a`) is `endifjustbattled` then a single
`writetext SageChowAfterBattleText`.
- `SproutTower1FParlyzHeal` (`42:4022`): a bare `itemball PARLYZ_HEAL` - two raw
bytes, **not** bytecode. Pickup is engine-side (`FindItemInBallScript`), gated
on `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_1F_PARLYZ_HEAL`.
- Sage1/Sage2/Granny/Teacher are all `jumptextfaceplayer` one-liners; nothing to
gate on.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_CHOW` (1041) | `constants/event_flags.asm:518` | `TrainerSageChow` header word | Set once beaten; suppresses re-battle and the eyesight trigger |
| `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_1F_PARLYZ_HEAL` (1607) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1000` | object-event flag on `SPROUTTOWER1F_POKE_BALL` | Set = ball is gone (`CheckObjectFlag`, `engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm`) |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `PARLYZ_HEAL` | Poke Ball object at (16,7) | `SproutTower1FParlyzHeal` (`itemball PARLYZ_HEAL`) | `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_1F_PARLYZ_HEAL` |
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SAGE`, `CHOW` | `SAGE` (38) | `CHOW` (1) | `SageGroup` "CHOW" (`0e:7324` group base): L3 Bellsprout x3, `TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL` | `TrainerSageChow` | none |
Prize money: `data/trainers/attributes.asm` "Sage" base reward `8`;
`ComputeTrainerReward` x last party level (3) x4 in `WinTrainerBattle` = 96.
**Wild encounters**
None. `data/wild/johto_grass.asm` has **no** `def_grass_wildmons SPROUT_TOWER_1F`
entry; only 2F and 3F have tables. 1F has no grass/water/fish/headbutt data.

### MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_2F
- Script: `maps/SproutTower2F.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/SproutTower2F.blk`

**Scripts of interest**
- `TrainerSageNico` (`42:4280`) and `TrainerSageEdmond` (`42:4294`): identical
shape to Chow - `trainer` header, `.Script` = `endifjustbattled` + one
`writetext`.
- `SproutTower2FXDefend` (`42:42ab`): `itemball X_DEFEND`. Note the item is
**X Defend**, not X Accuracy.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_NICO` (1042) | `constants/event_flags.asm:519` | `TrainerSageNico` | Beaten once |

Both pay 8 x 3 x 4 = 96.
**Wild encounters**
`data/wild/johto_grass.asm:5` `def_grass_wildmons SPROUT_TOWER_2F`, rates
`2 percent / 2 percent / 2 percent` (morn/day/nite):
- morn: L3 Rattata, L4 Rattata, L5 Rattata, L3 Rattata, L6 Rattata, L5 Rattata, L5 Rattata
- day: identical to morn
- nite: L3 Gastly, L4 Gastly, L5 Gastly, L3 Rattata, L6 Gastly, L5 Rattata, L5 Rattata
No water/fish/headbutt entry for this map.

### MAP_SPROUT_TOWER_3F
- Script: `maps/SproutTower3F.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/SproutTower3F.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:81` -> `TILESET_TOWER`, `DUNGEON`,
`LANDMARK_SPROUT_TOWER`, `MUSIC_SPROUT_TOWER`, `FALSE`, `PALETTE_DAY`,
`FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions / attributes: `constants/map_constants.asm:68`
(`map_const SPROUT_TOWER_3F, 10, 8`) = 20x16 cells;
`data/maps/attributes.asm:400`
- Connections: none
- Scene variable: `data/maps/scenes.asm:47` -> `wSproutTower3FSceneID`
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 14 | `SPROUT_TOWER_2F` | 4 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`)
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER` (0) | 11 | 9 | `SproutTower3FRivalScene` | The elder/rival cutscene; ends with `setscene SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_NOOP` |
The two `SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_*` constants are generated inline by the
`scene_script` macro (`macros/scripts/maps.asm`, `scene_const`) in
`maps/SproutTower3F.asm:12-13`: index 0 = `SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER`,
index 1 = `SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_NOOP`. Both scene *scripts* are bare `end`
stubs; the scene id exists only to arm/disarm the coord event. The scene starts
at 0 on a new game, so the trip-wire is live on first entry.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 1 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `SproutTower3FStatue` |
| 11 | 1 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `SproutTower3FStatue` |
| 9 | 0 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `SproutTower3FPainting` |
| 10 | 0 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `SproutTower3FPainting` |
| 5 | 15 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `SproutTower3FStatue` |
| 14 | 15 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `SproutTower3FStatue` |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SPROUTTOWER3F_SAGE1` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 8 | 13 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_RIGHT`, pal `PAL_NPC_BLUE` | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 3 | `TrainerSageJin` | -1 |
| `SPROUTTOWER3F_SAGE2` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 8 | 8 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN`, pal `PAL_NPC_BLUE` | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 2 | `TrainerSageTroy` | -1 |
| `SPROUTTOWER3F_SAGE3` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 10 | 2 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN`, pal `PAL_NPC_BLUE` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, sight 0 | `SageLiScript` | -1 |
| `SPROUTTOWER3F_SAGE4` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 11 | 11 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_LEFT`, pal `PAL_NPC_BLUE` | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 3 | `TrainerSageNeal` | -1 |
| `SPROUTTOWER3F_POKE_BALL1` | `SPRITE_POKE_BALL` | 6 | 14 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` | `SproutTower3FPotion` | `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_3F_POTION` |
| `SPROUTTOWER3F_POKE_BALL2` | `SPRITE_POKE_BALL` | 14 | 1 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` | `SproutTower3FEscapeRope` | `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_3F_ESCAPE_ROPE` |
| `SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL` | `SPRITE_RIVAL` | 10 | 4 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, sight 0 | `ObjectEvent` (the shared ROM0 stub) | `EVENT_RIVAL_SPROUT_TOWER` |
Object-flag polarity, confirmed in `engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm`
(`CheckObjectFlag`): the object is **masked when its event flag is SET**.
`EVENT_RIVAL_SPROUT_TOWER` therefore starts *clear* (rival visible) and the
cutscene's `disappear SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL` sets it
(`Script_disappear` -> `ApplyEventActionAppearDisappear`, `b = 1`,
`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:887`).
**Scripts of interest**
- `SproutTower3FRivalScene` (`42:444b`), fired by the coord event at (11,9):
`turnobject PLAYER, UP`; `showemote EMOTE_SHOCK, PLAYER, 15`;
`special FadeOutMusic`; two rounds of `playsound SFX_TACKLE` +
`playsound SFX_ELEVATOR` + `earthquake 79` + `pause 15`;
`applymovement PLAYER, SproutTower3FPlayerApproachesRivalMovement` (four
`step UP`, so the player ends at (11,5));
`applymovement SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL, SproutTower3FRivalApproachesElderMovement`
(one `step UP`, rival (10,4) -> (10,3));
`writetext SproutTowerElderLecturesRivalText`;
`showemote EMOTE_SHOCK, SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL, 15`;
`turnobject SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL, DOWN`;
`applymovement SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL, SproutTower3FRivalLeavesElderMovement`
(`step RIGHT`, `step DOWN`); `playmusic MUSIC_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER`;
two more `writetext`s; `playsound SFX_WARP_TO`; `special FadeOutToBlack`;
`special ReloadSpritesNoPalettes`; `disappear SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL`;
`waitsfx`; `special FadeInFromBlack`; `setscene SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_NOOP`;
`special RestartMapMusic`; `end`.
**No battle.** This is a pure cutscene - the rival is not fought here.
- `SageLiScript` (`42:44aa`): `faceplayer`, `opentext`,
`checkevent EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH` / `iftrue .GotFlash`. First-time arm:
`writetext SageLiSeenText`, `winlosstext SageLiBeatenText, 0`,
`loadtrainer SAGE, LI`, `startbattle`, `reloadmapafterbattle`,
`writetext SageLiTakeThisFlashText`, `promptbutton`,
`verbosegiveitem HM_FLASH`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH`,
`setevent EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_LI`, `writetext SageLiFlashExplanationText`, `end`.
`.GotFlash` (`42:44d5`) is a single `writetext SageLiAfterBattleText`.
Note the flag order: the HM is given *before* both events are set, and
`verbosegiveitem`'s failure return is **not** checked here (unlike Falkner's
TM), so a full bag at this point loses the HM.
- `TrainerSageJin` (`42:44db`), `TrainerSageTroy` (`42:44ef`),
`TrainerSageNeal` (`42:4503`): standard `trainer` headers + `endifjustbattled`
after-battle text.
- `SproutTower3FPotion` (`42:451d`) = `itemball POTION`;
`SproutTower3FEscapeRope` (`42:451f`) = `itemball ESCAPE_ROPE`.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_JIN` (1043) | `constants/event_flags.asm:520` | `TrainerSageJin` | Beaten |

| `EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_NEAL` (1048) | `constants/event_flags.asm:525` | `TrainerSageNeal` | Beaten |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_LI` (1049) | `constants/event_flags.asm:526` | set by `SageLiScript` after the battle | Set only on the HM-giving pass; Li is an `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, not a trainer object, so this flag does not gate re-battle - `EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH` does |
| `EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH` (20) | `constants/event_flags.asm:27` | read+written by `SageLiScript` | The real "tower cleared" flag |
| `EVENT_RIVAL_SPROUT_TOWER` (1732) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1126` | object-event flag; set by `disappear` in the cutscene; also `setevent` in `maps/HallOfFame.asm:35` | Clear = rival still standing at (10,4) |
| `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_3F_POTION` (1609) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1002` | object-event flag | Ball taken |
| `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_3F_ESCAPE_ROPE` (1610) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1003` | object-event flag | Ball taken |
| `SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER` = 0 | `maps/SproutTower3F.asm:12` (macro-generated) | `wSproutTower3FSceneID` (`data/maps/scenes.asm:47`) | Coord event live |
| `SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_NOOP` = 1 | `maps/SproutTower3F.asm:13` | `setscene` at the end of the cutscene; `setmapscene` in `maps/HallOfFame.asm:39` | Coord event dead |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `POTION` | Poke Ball at (6,14) | `SproutTower3FPotion` | `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_3F_POTION` |
| `ESCAPE_ROPE` | Poke Ball at (14,1) | `SproutTower3FEscapeRope` | `EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_3F_ESCAPE_ROPE` |
| `HM_FLASH` (HM05) | `verbosegiveitem` from Sage Li after his battle | `SageLiScript` | `EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH` |
`HM_FLASH` is the fifth `add_hm` in `constants/item_constants.asm`
(CUT, FLY, SURF, STRENGTH, **FLASH**, WHIRLPOOL, WATERFALL), i.e. HM05.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party | script label | rematch/phone |

Prize money (base 8 x last party level x 4): Jin 192, Neal 192, Troy 224,
Li 320. All `TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL` (no explicit moves; movesets come from level-up
data). Class DVs `dn 9, 8, 8, 8` (`data/trainers/dvs.asm:61`).
**Wild encounters**
`data/wild/johto_grass.asm:33` `def_grass_wildmons SPROUT_TOWER_3F` - byte for
byte identical to the 2F table: rates 2/2/2 percent, morn+day all Rattata L3-L6,
nite Gastly L3-L6 mixed with Rattata L3/L5/L5. No water/fish/headbutt entry.

**Scripts of interest**
- `VioletCityFlypointCallback` (`48:4c6d`), registered as
`callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`: a single `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIOLET`
then `endcallback`. Entering the map at all unlocks Fly to Violet.
- `VioletCityEarlScript`: spins, `faceplayer`,
`writetext Text_EarlAsksIfYouBeatFalkner`, `yesorno`. Answering **yes** is
the `.PointlessJump` arm (one line of text, no state change). Answering **no**
is `.FollowEarl`: `playmusic MUSIC_SHOW_ME_AROUND`,
`follow VIOLETCITY_EARL, PLAYER`, a long
`VioletCityFollowEarl_MovementData` walk to the academy door,
`stopfollow`, `disappear VIOLETCITY_EARL`,
`clearevent EVENT_EARLS_ACADEMY_EARL`. A bot that does not want to be
dragged across the map should answer **yes**, or simply not talk to him.
- The four remaining townsfolk are `jumptextfaceplayer` one-liners.

None of these four are mentioned by the walkthrough section; they are listed
because a bot walking this map will pass them.
**Trainers**
None on the overworld map.
**Wild encounters**

walkthrough uses here ("go back to the Pokemon Center to heal").
- `VioletPokecenter1F_ElmsAideScript` is **not** reachable during this section:
`EVENT_ELMS_AIDE_IN_VIOLET_POKEMON_CENTER` is set at new game
(`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:468`), which masks the object, and is only
cleared by Elm's `.assistant` phone call
(`engine/phone/scripts/elm.asm:84`) queued by beating Falkner. It gives
`giveegg TOGEPI, EGG_LEVEL` and belongs to the next section.

### MAP_VIOLET_GYM
- Script: `maps/VioletGym.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/VioletGym.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:734`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:253` -> `TILESET_ELITE_FOUR_ROOM`, `INDOOR`,
`LANDMARK_VIOLET_CITY`, `MUSIC_GYM`, phone `TRUE`, `PALETTE_DAY`,
`FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions / attributes: `constants/map_constants.asm:232`
(`map_const VIOLET_GYM, 5, 8`) = 10x16 cells;
`data/maps/attributes.asm:535`
- Connections: none
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 15 | `VIOLET_CITY` | 2 |
| 2 | 5 | 15 | `VIOLET_CITY` | 2 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`)
None. There is no scripted trip-wire in the gym; Abe and Rod fire off eyesight
alone.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 13 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `VioletGymStatue` |
| 6 | 13 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `VioletGymStatue` |
`VioletGymStatue` branches on `checkflag ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE`: unbeaten ->
`jumpstd GymStatue1Script`; beaten -> `gettrainername STRING_BUFFER_4, FALKNER,
FALKNER1` + `jumpstd GymStatue2Script`. Reading it is a cheap way for a bot to
confirm the badge landed.
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `VIOLETGYM_FALKNER` | `SPRITE_FALKNER` | 5 | 1 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN`, radius 0/0, pal `PAL_NPC_BLUE` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, sight 0 | `VioletGymFalknerScript` | -1 |

Walking in at (4,15)/(5,15) and heading north, **Abe** (facing right at y=10) is
met before **Rod** (facing left at y=6), which is the order the walkthrough
gives even though it names Abe first and Rod second.
**Scripts of interest**
- `VioletGymFalknerScript` (`56:412f`):
`faceplayer`, `opentext`, `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_FALKNER` /
`iftrue .FightDone`. First pass: `writetext FalknerIntroText`,
`winlosstext FalknerWinLossText, 0`, `loadtrainer FALKNER, FALKNER1`,
`startbattle`, `reloadmapafterbattle`, `setevent EVENT_BEAT_FALKNER`,
`writetext ReceivedZephyrBadgeText`, `playsound SFX_GET_BADGE`, `waitsfx`,
**`setflag ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE`**, `readvar VAR_BADGES`,
`scall VioletGymActivateRockets`.
Then `.FightDone` (`56:4159`): `checkevent EVENT_GOT_TM31_MUD_SLAP` /
`iftrue .SpeechAfterTM`; otherwise
`setevent EVENT_BEAT_BIRD_KEEPER_ROD`, `setevent EVENT_BEAT_BIRD_KEEPER_ABE`
(the two gym trainers are force-flagged so they never re-trigger),
`setmapscene ELMS_LAB, SCENE_ELMSLAB_NOOP`,
`specialphonecall SPECIALCALL_ASSISTANT`,
`writetext FalknerZephyrBadgeText`, `promptbutton`,
`verbosegiveitem TM_MUD_SLAP`, `iffalse .NoRoomForMudSlap`,
`setevent EVENT_GOT_TM31_MUD_SLAP`, `writetext FalknerTMMudSlapText`.
Unlike Sage Li, this one **does** check `verbosegiveitem`'s return, so a full
bag leaves `EVENT_GOT_TM31_MUD_SLAP` clear and the TM is offered again on the
next talk.
- `VioletGymActivateRockets` (`56:4185`): `ifequal 7, .RadioTowerRockets`,
`ifequal 6, .GoldenrodRockets` against the `VAR_BADGES` count. With one badge
this is a no-op; it exists so that a late Violet clear still arms the Rocket
arcs.
- `TrainerBirdKeeperRod` (`56:4194`), `TrainerBirdKeeperAbe` (`56:41a8`):
standard `trainer` headers + `endifjustbattled` after-battle text.
- `VioletGymGuideScript`: branches on `EVENT_BEAT_FALKNER`; pure text.
**Flags and events**

| `FALKNER`, `FALKNER1` | `FALKNER` (1) | `FALKNER1` (1) | `FalknerGroup` (`0e:59c2`), `TRAINERTYPE_MOVES`: L7 Pidgey (TACKLE, MUD_SLAP), L9 Pidgeotto (TACKLE, MUD_SLAP, GUST) | `VioletGymFalknerScript` (`loadtrainer`) | listed in `data/trainers/leaders.asm:8` |
Prize money: Bird Keeper base 6 (`data/trainers/attributes.asm`) -> Rod
6 x 7 x 4 = 168, Abe 6 x 9 x 4 = 216. Falkner base 25 -> 25 x 9 x 4 = 900.
Falkner DVs `dn 9, 10, 7, 7` (`data/trainers/dvs.asm:5`); Bird Keeper
`dn 9, 8, 8, 8` (line 28).
**Wild encounters**
None (indoor gym).
## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprout Tower 3F rival cutscene fires before you can reach Sage Li | `maps/SproutTower3F.asm` `coord_event 11, 9, SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER, SproutTower3FRivalScene` | Standing on (11,9) while `wSproutTower3FSceneID` == 0 | The scene's own `setscene SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_NOOP`. Not a hard block - the tile is on the only path north |
| HM05 Flash | `maps/SproutTower3F.asm:SageLiScript` | Beat `SAGE, LI` (`loadtrainer` + `startbattle`) | `verbosegiveitem HM_FLASH` + `setevent EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH` |
| Using Flash outside battle | `engine/events/overworld.asm` `FlashFunction.CheckUseFlash` (`03:48f1`): `ld de, ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE` / `farcall CheckBadge` / `jr c, .nozephyrbadge` | `ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE` set **and** `wTimeOfDayPalset == DARKNESS_PALSET` | Beat Falkner. Note the second half: even with the badge, Flash is refused on any map that is not a dark cave (`.notadarkcave` -> `FieldMoveFailed`) |
| ZEPHYRBADGE attack boost / obedience | `engine/battle/core.asm:6566` (the `and` mask that starts `(1 << ZEPHYRBADGE)`) | badge bit | Beat Falkner |
| Gym trainers Abe and Rod | `maps/VioletGym.asm` object events, `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER` sight 3 on shared rows | eyesight only; they do **not** physically block the aisle | Beating them, or `EVENT_BEAT_BIRD_KEEPER_*` being force-set by `VioletGymFalknerScript.FightDone` |
| Falkner re-battle | `maps/VioletGym.asm:VioletGymFalknerScript` `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_FALKNER` / `iftrue .FightDone` | none | one-shot |
| Sage Li re-battle | `maps/SproutTower3F.asm:SageLiScript` `checkevent EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH` / `iftrue .GotFlash` | none | one-shot, keyed on the HM flag rather than on `EVENT_BEAT_SAGE_LI` |
| Sprout Tower is a `DUNGEON` | `data/maps/maps.asm:79-81` | - | `ESCAPE_ROPE` and Dig work here, which is what the walkthrough's "you may use that to get out of the tower" relies on |
Nothing in this section is gated on a field move, a key item, or an NPC standing
on a tile. The only hard requirement is winning battles.
## 4. Bot checklist
Coordinates are asm map cells. Port driver form:

## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map load, block grid, warps for all six maps (data-driven from the ROM) | `src/world/gen2/Map.lua`, `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` (`readMapGroupEntry`, `mapNameByIds`) | implemented - ids are the same `MAP_*` names, see `tools/rom_manifest_gold.json` -> `constants.mapGroups` |
| `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` -> `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIOLET` | `src/world/gen2/World.lua` (callback dispatch), driver `tests/drivers/gold_map_callbacks.lua` | implemented |
| Fly point 66 = Violet | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:346` (`{ landmark = "LANDMARK_VIOLET_CITY", spawn = "SPAWN_VIOLET", flag = 66 }`) | implemented |
| Script VM for every `maps/*.asm` script in this section | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua`, `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua` | implemented - scripts are disassembled from the ROM, not hand-ported, so `SageLiScript` / `VioletGymFalknerScript` run as-is |
| `coord_event` + scene ids (the 3F rival trip-wire) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5013` (coord event scan), `:1183` / `:5026` (scene scripts) | implemented |
| Cutscene opcodes used by `SproutTower3FRivalScene` (`showemote`, `earthquake`, `applymovement`, `turnobject`, `disappear`, `setscene`, `playmusic`) | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:122/125`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua:1006/1528/647`, `src/script/gen2/Movement.lua` | implemented |
| `special FadeOutMusic` / `FadeOutToBlack` / `ReloadSpritesNoPalettes` / `FadeInFromBlack` / `RestartMapMusic` | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua` | implemented |
| Object masking by event flag (rival, item balls) | `src/world/gen2/Events.lua` (`objectVisible`), documented against `CheckObjectFlag` | implemented |
| Trainer objects: eyesight, approach walk, seen text, battle, beat flag | `src/world/gen2/Trainers.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5205-5253`, driver `tests/drivers/gold_trainer_smoke.lua` | implemented |
| `loadtrainer` / `startbattle` for Sage Li and Falkner | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua`, `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua` | implemented |
| Gym leader battle music | `src/battle/gen2/BattleMusic.lua:24` (`FALKNER = true`) | implemented |
| Prize money (Falkner 900 = 25 x 9 x 4) | `src/battle/gen2/Prize.lua`, `tests/gen2_prize_test.lua` | implemented |
| `setflag ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE` (id 26) and `readvar VAR_BADGES` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:670`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua:117/1240`, `tests/gen2_world_test.lua:1783` | implemented |
| Flash badge gate (`FlashFunction.CheckUseFlash`) | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:105` (`FLASH = "ZEPHYR"`), `tests/gen2_world_test.lua:755-781` | implemented, including the "refused before the darkness check" ordering |
| `verbosegiveitem` (HM05, TM31) incl. the `iffalse` no-room arm | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:490-500` | implemented |
| Hidden item at Violet City (37,14) | `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5285` | implemented |
| Berry tree `fruittree FRUITTREE_VIOLET_CITY` | `src/script/gen2/CallAsm.lua:75-77`, `src/core/gen2/Apricorns.lua:363` | implemented |
| `specialphonecall SPECIALCALL_ASSISTANT` | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:161`, `src/core/gen2/Phone.lua:390` | implemented |
| `giveegg TOGEPI` (Elm's aide, next section's payoff) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:453`, driver `tests/drivers/gold_egg_hatch.lua` | implemented |
| Earl's `follow` / `stopfollow` escort | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:982` | implemented |
| **Poke Ball item pickup (`OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL`)** - Parlyz Heal, X Defend, Potion, Escape Rope, PP Up, Rare Candy | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:2969` writes `obj.itemball`; **nothing in `src/` reads it**, and `World:interact()` (`src/world/gen2/World.lua:5257`) has no itemball branch (trainer / strength boulder / `scriptKey` / bg sign / hidden item only). `src/script/gen2/CallAsm.lua:550` stubs `TryReceiveItem` out on purpose | **missing** - the balls render and are masked correctly, but pressing A on one does nothing. Every item ball in this section is unobtainable in the port today |
| Hand-ported per-map Lua for Sprout Tower / Violet Gym | none - by design | n/a (the port runs the ROM's own bytecode) |
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
1. **"X Accuracy" in the Sprout Tower item list.** The walkthrough's header
lists Escape Rope, HM05, Parlyz Heal, Potion, **X Accuracy**, and the prose
says "grab that X Defense above you". The asm has exactly one such ball,
`SproutTower2FXDefend` = `itemball X_DEFEND` at 2F (3,1). There is no
`X_ACCURACY` anywhere in `maps/SproutTower*.asm`. The header list is wrong;
the prose is right.
2. **"Go up to the item to the right of the monk. In reality, it is a...
Level 3 Rattata"** and the follow-up "Go back to the Rattata you faced
before, and now it's an Escape Rope." Nothing in `maps/SproutTower3F.asm`
supports this. The object at (14,1) is a plain
`object_event ... OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL, 0, SproutTower3FEscapeRope,
EVENT_SPROUT_TOWER_3F_ESCAPE_ROPE` whose script label is a bare
`itemball ESCAPE_ROPE`. There is no `wildbattle`, no `loadwildmon`, no
second object at that cell, and no branch on `EVENT_GOT_HM05_FLASH` anywhere
near it. This looks like the walkthrough importing the Gen 1 Rocket Hideout
Voltorb trick. **Treat the ball at (14,1) as an ordinary Escape Rope.**
3. **"Pokemon found in Sprout Tower: Rattata, Bellsprout, Gastly."**
`data/wild/johto_grass.asm` gives Rattata (morn/day) and Gastly + Rattata
(nite) for `SPROUT_TOWER_2F` and `SPROUT_TOWER_3F`, and **no table at all**
for `SPROUT_TOWER_1F`. Bellsprout is not a Sprout Tower wild encounter; the
Bellsprouts are the sages' party members.
4. **Sage Li's party order.** The walkthrough lists L7 Bellsprout, L10 Hoothoot,
L7 Bellsprout. `data/trainers/parties.asm` `SageGroup` "LI" is
`db 7, BELLSPROUT / db 7, BELLSPROUT / db 10, HOOTHOOT` - the Hoothoot is
last, not second. The 320G figure the walkthrough quotes only works with the
asm order, since `ComputeTrainerReward` uses the level of the **last** party
row (8 x 10 x 4 = 320).
5. **Walkthrough trainer order in the gym.** The text says "Head up to fight
your trainer battles first. Bird Keeper Abe ... Head up the path to the
second trainer. Bird Keeper Rod." Geometrically that is correct (Abe at
y=10 is south of Rod at y=6), but be aware the *object const* order in the
file is Rod first (`VIOLETGYM_YOUNGSTER1`), Abe second
(`VIOLETGYM_YOUNGSTER2`), which is the opposite of the walk order. Do not
index trainers by object const when following the prose.
6. **"You'll need the 1st badge to use it [Flash]".** True but incomplete:
`FlashFunction.CheckUseFlash` (`engine/events/overworld.asm`, `03:48f1`)
requires `ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE` **and** `wTimeOfDayPalset == DARKNESS_PALSET`.
With the badge, on any non-dark map, the move still fails through
`.notadarkcave` -> `FieldMoveFailed`. A bot should not treat "have badge" as
"Flash will work here".
7. **EXP values.** The walkthrough quotes per-Pokemon EXP figures (54, 108, 126,
217, ...). Those are computed from base experience and level at runtime
(`engine/battle/experience.asm` / `data/pokemon/base_stats/`), not stored
anywhere as a per-trainer constant, so they were not verified against a
single asm line here. The **money** figures were: all seven quoted values
match `base reward x last party level x 4`.
8. **"you should be around an hour into the game now"** and the video link -
prose, nothing to resolve.

# Section 04 - Slowpoke Well & Azalea Town Gym
Source: `../section-04-slowpoke-well-azalea-town-gym.txt`
Maps covered: `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN`, `MAP_KURTS_HOUSE`, `MAP_AZALEA_POKECENTER_1F`,
`MAP_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F`, `MAP_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B2F` (off-route, Surf-only),
`MAP_AZALEA_GYM`. `MAP_AZALEA_MART` is referenced for its stock only
(`data/items/marts.asm` `MartAzalea`); its map file was not transcribed.
Badges / key milestones in this section: **HIVEBADGE** (`ENGINE_HIVEBADGE`),
`EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL`, `EVENT_BEAT_BUGSY`, `TM_FURY_CUTTER` (TM49),
`LURE_BALL`, `SUPER_POTION`, `WHT_APRICORN`, hidden `FULL_HEAL`. Clearing the
well is what unlocks the Gym door and arms the Azalea rival battle for the next
section.
Coordinate convention throughout: the raw asm x/y from
`warp_event` / `coord_event` / `bg_event` / `object_event`, i.e. walk cells
(two 8x8 tiles per side, two cells per map block). `macros/scripts/maps.asm`
adds the +4 border internally; the numbers below are the pre-border values as
written in the map file.
---
## 1. Route order
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN` | `maps/AzaleaTown.asm` | west edge of Route 33 (`connection east, Route33, ROUTE_33, 0` in `data/maps/attributes.asm`) | warp 4, `warp_event 9, 5, KURTS_HOUSE, 1` | Rocket guard is standing on the well; head west then north to Kurt's house |
| 2 | `MAP_KURTS_HOUSE` | `maps/KurtsHouse.asm` | warp 1 (`3, 7`) | warps 1/2 (`3, 7` / `4, 7`) back to `AZALEA_TOWN` warp 4 | `Kurt1` first-visit arm: Kurt storms off to the well and sets `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKETAIL_ROCKET`, which hides the guard |
| 3 | `MAP_AZALEA_POKECENTER_1F` | `maps/AzaleaPokecenter1F.asm` | `AZALEA_TOWN` warp 1 (`15, 9`) | warps 1/2 (`3, 7` / `4, 7`) | "heal at the Pokemon Center" |
| 4 | `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN` | `maps/AzaleaTown.asm` | Pokecenter warp | warp 6, `warp_event 31, 7, SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F, 1` | walk east to the now-unguarded well |
| 5 | `MAP_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F` | `maps/SlowpokeWellB1F.asm` | warp 1 (`17, 15`) | **scripted** `warp KURTS_HOUSE, 3, 3` at the end of `TrainerGruntM1.Script` | four Rocket grunts, Super Potion, tailless Slowpoke |
| 6 | `MAP_KURTS_HOUSE` | `maps/KurtsHouse.asm` | script warp to `3, 3` | warps 1/2 | `Kurt1.ClearedSlowpokeWell` -> free `LURE_BALL` |
| 7 | `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN` | `maps/AzaleaTown.asm` | Kurt's House warp | fruit tree object at `8, 2`, then warp 1 (Pokecenter) | `WHT_APRICORN` from `WhiteApricornTree` / `FRUITTREE_AZALEA_TOWN`, then heal |
| 8 | `MAP_AZALEA_GYM` | `maps/AzaleaGym.asm` | `AZALEA_TOWN` warp 5, `warp_event 10, 15, AZALEA_GYM, 1` | warps 1/2 (`4, 15` / `5, 15`) | five gym trainers + Bugsy -> HIVEBADGE + TM49 |
Off-route in this section: `MAP_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B2F` (`maps/SlowpokeWellB2F.asm`)
hangs off `SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F` warp 2 at `7, 11`, but the only land approach to
that ladder is across water (see the derived grid under B1F) - it is a Surf
return trip, not part of this visit, and holds the King's Rock and TM Rain Dance.
Spills into the next section: `AzaleaTown_MapEvents` has
`coord_event 5, 10` / `coord_event 5, 11` for `SCENE_AZALEATOWN_RIVAL_BATTLE`.
`TrainerGruntM1.Script` arms that scene with
`setmapscene AZALEA_TOWN, SCENE_AZALEATOWN_RIVAL_BATTLE`, so the rival ambush
fires the first time you walk west toward the Ilex Forest gate. That battle and
Ilex Forest belong to section 05.

`SPRITE_AZALEA_ROCKET` (`constants/sprite_constants.asm:156`, id `$f6`) is a
variable sprite. `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:539` seeds it as
`variablesprite SPRITE_AZALEA_ROCKET, SPRITE_ROCKET`; `TrainerGruntM1.Script`
in `maps/SlowpokeWellB1F.asm` re-points it with
`variablesprite SPRITE_AZALEA_ROCKET, SPRITE_RIVAL`, which is why const 11 draws
as the rival even though the row names the Rocket slot.
**Derived walkability** (from `maps/AzaleaTown.blk` + `data/tilesets/johto_modern_collision.asm`
+ `data/collision/collision_permissions.asm`; `.` land, `#` wall, `h` ledge hop,
`W` warp tile, columns are x, rows are y)

Two chokepoints matter: `31, 9` is the only walkable cell that reaches `31, 8`
and then the well ladder at `31, 7`, and `10, 16` is the only walkable cell
adjacent to the Gym door at `10, 15` (`9, 15`, `11, 15` and `10, 14` are all
wall). The two Rocket objects sit exactly on those cells.
**Scripts of interest**
- `AzaleaTownFlypointCallback` - `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`; `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_AZALEA`,
`endcallback`. Entering the map once is enough to register the fly point.
- `AzaleaTownRocket1Script` / `AzaleaTownRocket2Script` -
`jumptextfaceplayer AzaleaTownRocket1Text` / `...Rocket2Text`. Pure flavour;
neither one gates anything by script. They block by standing on tiles.
- `AzaleaTownGrampsScript` - `checkevent EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL` /
`iftrue .ClearedWell`, then one of `AzaleaTownGrampsTextBefore` /
`AzaleaTownGrampsTextAfter`. Cheap read-only probe of well state.
- `WhiteApricornTree` - `fruittree FRUITTREE_AZALEA_TOWN`.
`constants/script_constants.asm:226` gives `FRUITTREE_AZALEA_TOWN ; 14` (hex),
and `data/items/fruit_trees.asm:23` is `db WHT_APRICORN ; AZALEA_TOWN`.
Once-per-day, tracked by the fruit-tree daily bit, not by an `EVENT_*`.
- `AzaleaTownHiddenFullHeal` - `hiddenitem FULL_HEAL, EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL`;
reached by facing the wall cell `31, 6` from `31, 7`/`31, 5` neighbours.
- `AzaleaTownRivalBattleScene1` / `...Scene2` / `AzaleaTownRivalBattleScript` -
next section. For completeness they `setevent EVENT_RIVAL_AZALEA_TOWN`,
branch on `EVENT_GOT_TOTODILE_FROM_ELM` / `EVENT_GOT_CHIKORITA_FROM_ELM`,
`loadtrainer RIVAL1, RIVAL1_2_TOTODILE|RIVAL1_2_CHIKORITA|RIVAL1_2_CYNDAQUIL`,
and end with `setscene SCENE_AZALEATOWN_NOOP`.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_AZALEA` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:82` | set by `AzaleaTownFlypointCallback` | Fly destination unlocked on first entry |
| `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKETAIL_ROCKET` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1180` | set by `Kurt1` (first-visit arm) and read by `KurtsGranddaughter.Lonely` | **set = the well guard at `31, 9` is hidden**; this is the well gate |
| `EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_ROCKETS` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1182` | set by the `disappear` calls in `TrainerGruntM1.Script` | **set = the Rocket at `10, 16` is hidden**; this is the Gym gate |
| `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKES` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1179` | `clearevent` in `TrainerGruntM1.Script` | cleared = the four town Slowpoke appear |
| `EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:52` | set in `TrainerGruntM1.Script`; read by `AzaleaTownGrampsScript`, `Kurt1`, `KurtsGranddaughter`, `KurtsHouseKurtCallback` | the section-4 milestone flag |
| `EVENT_RIVAL_AZALEA_TOWN` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1121` | set by `AzaleaTownRivalBattleScript` | next section |
| `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:187` | `hiddenitem` | one-shot hidden item |
| `SCENE_AZALEATOWN_NOOP` = 0, `SCENE_AZALEATOWN_RIVAL_BATTLE` = 1 | generated by `scene_script` in `macros/scripts/maps.asm:25` (`scene_const` + `EXPORT`) | `setscene` / `setmapscene` | scene id in `wAzaleaTownSceneID` |
Object visibility semantics, since everything above depends on it:
`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:879` `Script_appear` calls
`ApplyEventActionAppearDisappear` with `b = 0 ; clear`, and `:887`
`Script_disappear` with `b = 1 ; set`. **An object's `EVENT_*` flag SET means the
object is hidden.**
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |

The post-well script warp lands you on `3, 3`, one cell south of `KURTSHOUSE_KURT1`
at `3, 2`, who faces down. Talk immediately, no walking required.
**Scripts of interest**
- `KurtsHouseKurtCallback` (`MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS`) -
`checkevent EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL` / `iffalse .Done`;
then `checkflag ENGINE_KURT_MAKING_BALLS` / `iftrue .MakingBalls`.
Not making balls: `disappear KURTSHOUSE_KURT2`, `appear KURTSHOUSE_KURT1`.
Making balls: `disappear KURTSHOUSE_KURT1`, `appear KURTSHOUSE_KURT2`
(he moves to the workshop at `14, 3`).
- `Kurt1` - three arms, tested in this order:
1. `checkevent EVENT_KURT_GAVE_YOU_LURE_BALL` / `iftrue .GotLureBall`
2. `checkevent EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL` / `iftrue .ClearedSlowpokeWell`
3. fallthrough = **first visit**: `writetext KurtsHouseKurtMakingBallsMustWaitText`,
`special FadeOutMusic`, `setevent EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKETAIL_ROCKET`,
`readvar VAR_FACING` / `ifequal UP, .RunAround`, `turnobject PLAYER, DOWN`,
`playsound SFX_FLY`,
`applymovement KURTSHOUSE_KURT1, KurtsHouseKurtExitHouseMovement`
(5x `big_step DOWN`; the `.RunAround` variant is
`KurtsHouseKurtGoAroundPlayerThenExitHouseMovement`, `big_step RIGHT` then
5x `big_step DOWN`), `disappear KURTSHOUSE_KURT1`, `special RestartMapMusic`.
**This single `setevent` is what removes the well guard.**
- `.ClearedSlowpokeWell`: `writetext KurtsHouseKurtHonoredToMakeBallsText`,
`promptbutton`, `verbosegiveitem LURE_BALL`, `iffalse .NoRoomForBall`,
`setevent EVENT_KURT_GAVE_YOU_LURE_BALL`, then falls into `.GotLureBall`.
- `.GotLureBall`: the apricorn loop. Checks `EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_2`,
`EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_1`, then the seven
`EVENT_GAVE_KURT_<colour>_APRICORN` in order RED, BLU, YLW, GRN, WHT, BLK, PNK;
if none, `checkitem` the seven apricorns, `special SelectApricornForKurt`,
set the matching event, `setevent EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_1`,
`setflag ENGINE_KURT_MAKING_BALLS`. WHT -> `verbosegiveitem FAST_BALL`
(`.GiveFastBall`) the next day. Only one apricorn is held at a time, which
is exactly the reader comment quoted in the walkthrough.
- `KurtsGranddaughter` - branch order `EVENT_FAST_SHIP_FIRST_TIME`,
`EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL`, `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKETAIL_ROCKET`. Read-only.

Route through the well, matching the walkthrough beat for beat:
`17, 15` (entry ladder) -> Kurt at `16, 14` -> north up the `14-15` column to
`14, 8`/`15, 8` where `TrainerGruntM29` sees you -> continue north to the top
room `9..14, 2..4`, where `TrainerGruntF1` at `13, 2` faces down with sight 2 ->
Super Potion ball at `10, 3` -> back east/down through the gap at `11, 5` into
the long row-6 corridor -> west to `TrainerGruntM2` at `5, 6` (faces right,
sight 2) -> Slowpoke with mail at `7, 4`, tailless Slowpoke at `6, 2` ->
`TrainerGruntM1` at `5, 2` (faces down, sight 1).
The B2F ladder at `7, 11` sits in a chamber walled off along row 7 and reachable
only from `7, 13`, whose only non-wall neighbour outside the chamber is the water
at `7, 14`. **B2F is Surf-only**; the water is also the only route down from the
land at `2, 11`.
**Scripts of interest**
- `SlowpokeWellB1FKurtScript` - `jumptextfaceplayer SlowpokeWellB1FKurtText`.
Flavour only; Kurt does not gate anything here.
- `TrainerGruntM29` - `trainer GRUNTM, GRUNTM_29, EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTM_29, GruntM29SeenText, GruntM29BeatenText, 0, .Script`;
`.Script` is `endifjustbattled` + `GruntM29AfterBattleText`. Talking again is
the "they're chopping off Slowpoke tails" line the walkthrough mentions.
- `TrainerGruntF1` - `trainer GRUNTF, GRUNTF_1, EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTF_1, ...`,
same `endifjustbattled` shape.
- `TrainerGruntM2` - `trainer GRUNTM, GRUNTM_2, EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTM_2, ...`,
same shape.
- `TrainerGruntM1` - **the section's payload.**
`trainer GRUNTM, GRUNTM_1, EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTM_1, GruntM1SeenText, GruntM1BeatenText, 0, .Script`.
`.Script` has no `endifjustbattled`, so it runs immediately after the win:
`writetext TrainerGruntM1WhenTalkText`, `special FadeOutToBlack`,
`special ReloadSpritesNoPalettes`,
`disappear` on consts 2/3/4/5 (all four share `EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_ROCKETS`,
so this is the flag that clears the Gym door in town), `pause 15`,
`special FadeInFromBlack`, `disappear SLOWPOKEWELLB1F_KURT`,
`moveobject SLOWPOKEWELLB1F_KURT, 11, 6`, `appear SLOWPOKEWELLB1F_KURT`,
`applymovement SLOWPOKEWELLB1F_KURT, KurtSlowpokeWellVictoryMovementData`
(4x `step LEFT`, `step UP`, 3x `step_sleep 8`, `step LEFT`, 2x `step UP`,
3x `step_sleep 8`, `turn_head LEFT`), `turnobject PLAYER, RIGHT`,
`writetext KurtLeaveSlowpokeWellText`, then the flag block:
```

clearevent EVENT_KURTS_HOUSE_KURT_1
```
then `special FadeOutToWhite`, `special HealParty`, `pause 15`,
`warp KURTS_HOUSE, 3, 3`, `end`. Note the free party heal, and note that the
Ilex Forest Farfetch'd quest is armed here, not in Ilex Forest.
- `SlowpokeWellB1FSlowpokeWithMailScript` - `faceplayer`, `cry SLOWPOKE`,
`SlowpokeWellB1FSlowpokeWithMailText`, `yesorno` / `iftrue .ReadMail` ->
`SlowpokeWellB1FSlowpokeMailText`. No flag, no item, purely optional.
- `SlowpokeWellB1FSuperPotion` - `itemball SUPER_POTION`, guarded by
`EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F_SUPER_POTION`.
- `SlowpokeWellB1FBoulder` - `jumpstd StrengthBoulderScript`; needs Strength,
which is not obtainable in this section.

(same three time slots); `data/wild/johto_water.asm:40` is `4 percent` in Gold
(`IF DEF(_GOLD)`) / `2 percent` in Silver, L15 `SLOWPOKE`, L20 `SLOWPOKE`,
L20 `SLOWBRO`.

None of the gym objects carry an event flag, so they are always drawn; being
"beaten" is entirely the `trainer` macro's own `EVENT_BEAT_*` check.

It is a spiral. Entry `4, 15` / `5, 15` -> `4, 14`..`7, 14` -> the two
entry stalks at columns 4-5 and 7 -> the row 10/11 ring -> up either side
column (0-1 or 8-9) -> row 2/3 -> in at `4, 4` / `5, 4` -> `4, 5`..`6, 5` ->
`3, 6` -> `3, 7` -> Bugsy at `5, 7`.
Derived from the grid plus the sight fields: only the **twins** sit on the
straight-line path (`4, 11` and `5, 11` are their sight cells), and even they
are dodgeable by taking the column-7 stalk from `7, 14` up to `7, 11`. Josh's
sight covers `0, 3`-`0, 5` so the left column is his; Al's covers `8, 9`-`8, 11`
so the column-8 approach is his; column 9 is clear all the way from row 11 to
row 3. Benny spins (`SPINRANDOM_FAST`, sight 2) at `5, 3`, so crossing row 2/3
near column 5 is a coin flip rather than a guarantee.
**Scripts of interest**
- `AzaleaGymBugsyScript` -
`faceplayer`, `opentext`, `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_BUGSY` / `iftrue .FightDone`;
otherwise `BugsyText_INeverLose`,
`winlosstext BugsyText_ResearchIncomplete, 0` (no loss text - losing is a
whiteout), `loadtrainer BUGSY, BUGSY1`, `startbattle`, `reloadmapafterbattle`,
`setevent EVENT_BEAT_BUGSY`, `Text_ReceivedHiveBadge`,
`playsound SFX_GET_BADGE`, `waitsfx`, **`setflag ENGINE_HIVEBADGE`**,
`readvar VAR_BADGES`, `scall AzaleaGymActivateRockets`.
`.FightDone`: `checkevent EVENT_GOT_TM49_FURY_CUTTER` / `iftrue .GotFuryCutter`,
then - and this is the bot-relevant part -
```
setevent EVENT_BEAT_TWINS_AMY_AND_MAY
setevent EVENT_BEAT_BUG_CATCHER_BENNY
setevent EVENT_BEAT_BUG_CATCHER_AL
setevent EVENT_BEAT_BUG_CATCHER_JOSH
```
so beating Bugsy retroactively marks the five gym trainers beaten. Then
`BugsyText_HiveBadgeSpeech`, `promptbutton`,
`verbosegiveitem TM_FURY_CUTTER`, `iffalse .NoRoomForFuryCutter`,
`setevent EVENT_GOT_TM49_FURY_CUTTER`, `BugsyText_FuryCutterSpeech`.
- `AzaleaGymActivateRockets` - `ifequal 7, .RadioTowerRockets`,
`ifequal 6, .GoldenrodRockets`, `end`. `VAR_BADGES`
(`constants/script_constants.asm:55`, id 7) is the badge count, which is 2
right after HIVEBADGE, so **this scall is a no-op at Bugsy**; it is the shared
gym-clear hook that only fires at the 6th and 7th badge.
- `TrainerTwinsAmyandmay1` / `TrainerTwinsAmyandmay2` - both use
`EVENT_BEAT_TWINS_AMY_AND_MAY`, so you fight **one** twin, whichever spots you
first, and the other drops to her after-battle line.
- `TrainerBugCatcherBenny` / `...Al` / `...Josh` - plain
`trainer BUG_CATCHER, <id>, EVENT_BEAT_BUG_CATCHER_<id>, ...` with
`endifjustbattled` after-scripts.
- `AzaleaGymGuideScript` - `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_BUGSY`; the pre-battle text is
the "bug Pokemon don't like fire, flying-type moves are super-effective" hint.

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rocket standing on the Slowpoke Well approach | `maps/AzaleaTown.asm` object const 2 at `31, 9`, flag `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKETAIL_ROCKET`. `31, 9` is the only walkable neighbour of `31, 8`, which is the only walkable neighbour of the ladder at `31, 7` (derived from `maps/AzaleaTown.blk` + `data/tilesets/johto_modern_collision.asm`) | talk to Kurt once | `Kurt1` first-visit arm runs `setevent EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKETAIL_ROCKET`, which hides him (`Script_disappear` semantics, `engine/overworld/scripting.asm:887`) |
| Rocket standing on the Azalea Gym door | `maps/AzaleaTown.asm` object const 12 at `10, 16`, flag `EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_ROCKETS`. `10, 16` is the only walkable neighbour of the gym warp at `10, 15` | clear Slowpoke Well | the four `disappear SLOWPOKEWELLB1F_ROCKET*` calls in `maps/SlowpokeWellB1F.asm` `TrainerGruntM1.Script` set that shared flag |
| Slowpoke Well B2F (King's Rock, TM Rain Dance) | `maps/SlowpokeWellB1F.asm` warp 2 at `7, 11`; the chamber's only outside neighbour is water at `7, 14` (derived from `maps/SlowpokeWellB1F.blk` + `data/tilesets/cave_collision.asm` + `data/collision/collision_permissions.asm`) | Surf (`ENGINE_FOGBADGE` + HM03) | out of section - Fog Badge is Morty |
| Boulder at Slowpoke Well `3, 2` | `SlowpokeWellB1FBoulder` -> `jumpstd StrengthBoulderScript` | Strength | out of section; nothing behind it is required |
| Field Cut (leaving Azalea west for Ilex Forest) | `engine/events/overworld.asm` `CutFunction.CheckAble` (`ld de, ENGINE_HIVEBADGE` / `call CheckBadge` / `jr c, .nohivebadge`, sym `03:47e1`) and `TryCutOW` (`CheckPartyMove` with `CUT`, then `ld de, ENGINE_HIVEBADGE` / `CheckEngineFlag`, sym `03:5193`) | HIVEBADGE **and** a party member that knows CUT | HIVEBADGE from `AzaleaGymBugsyScript`; HM01 itself comes from the Charcoal Kiln / Ilex Forest chain in section 05 |
| Pokemon obedience above L30 | `engine/battle/core.asm:6566` masks `(1 << ZEPHYRBADGE) | (1 << HIVEBADGE) | ...` | HIVEBADGE | same |
| Bugsy himself | `AzaleaGymBugsyScript` has no `checkevent` guard before the battle | nothing - the five gym trainers are optional | `.FightDone` force-sets all four of their beat events afterwards |
## 4. Bot checklist
Coordinates are `x, y` as written in the asm. "warp N" means the Nth
`warp_event` row of the source map.
1. `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN`, walk in from the Route 33 east connection. Post: engine
flag `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_AZALEA` set by `AzaleaTownFlypointCallback`
(`MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`). No input needed.
2. `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN`, walk to `9, 5` and step on it -> warp 4 ->
`MAP_KURTS_HOUSE` `3, 7`. Pre: none.
3. `MAP_KURTS_HOUSE`, walk to `3, 3`, face UP, press A on object const 2
(`KURTSHOUSE_KURT1`, `3, 2`). Pre: `EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL` clear and
`EVENT_KURT_GAVE_YOU_LURE_BALL` clear. Post:
`EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKETAIL_ROCKET` set, `EVENT_KURTS_HOUSE_KURT_1` set
(Kurt walks out). If the player is facing UP when the script starts, Kurt
takes the `.RunAround` movement instead - same result, one extra step.
4. `MAP_KURTS_HOUSE`, step on `3, 7` or `4, 7` -> `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN` warp 4 (`9, 5`).
5. Optional heal: `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN` `15, 9` -> `MAP_AZALEA_POKECENTER_1F`;
talk to object const 2 at `3, 1` (`jumpstd PokecenterNurseScript`); leave via
`3, 7`.
6. `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN`, walk east along row 10 to `31, 10`, north to `31, 9`
(now empty), `31, 8`, then step on `31, 7` -> warp 6 -> `MAP_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F`
`17, 15`. Optional: from `31, 7` face UP and press A for the hidden
`FULL_HEAL` at `31, 6` (post: `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL`).
7. `MAP_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F`, optional A on const 8 (`16, 14`, Kurt).
8. Walk north along column 15 to `15, 8`. Trigger: const 2 `TrainerGruntM29`
(sight 1, faces right). Battle `GRUNTM` / `GRUNTM_29` (L9 Rattata x2).
Post: `EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTM_29`. Optional A again for the after-battle text.
9. Continue north column 14 to `14, 4`, then west into the top room. Trigger:
const 5 `TrainerGruntF1` at `13, 2` (sight 2, faces down) from `13, 3` or
`13, 4`. Battle `GRUNTF` / `GRUNTF_1` (L9 Zubat, L11 Ekans). Post:
`EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTF_1`.
10. Walk to `11, 3` -> `10, 3`, press A on const 10 -> `SUPER_POTION`. Post:
`EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_B1F_SUPER_POTION`.
11. Go to `11, 4` -> `11, 5` -> `11, 6`, then west along row 6. Trigger: const 4
`TrainerGruntM2` at `5, 6` (sight 2, faces right) from `7, 6` or `6, 6`.
Battle `GRUNTM` / `GRUNTM_2` (L7 Rattata, L9 Zubat, L9 Zubat). Post:
`EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTM_2`.
12. Optional: `7, 5` face UP, A on const 6 at `7, 4` (Slowpoke with mail,
`yesorno` -> read). No flag.
13. Walk to `5, 3`. Trigger: const 3 `TrainerGruntM1` at `5, 2` (sight 1, faces
down). Battle `GRUNTM` / `GRUNTM_1` (L14 Koffing). Post:
`EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTM_1`, then `.Script` runs with no `endifjustbattled`,
so the whole cutscene plays automatically and ends with
`special HealParty` + `warp KURTS_HOUSE, 3, 3`. Post-flags to assert:
`EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL`, `EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_ROCKETS`,
`EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_SLOWPOKES`, `EVENT_SLOWPOKE_WELL_KURT`,
`EVENT_CHARCOAL_KILN_FARFETCH_D`, `EVENT_CHARCOAL_KILN_APPRENTICE`;
cleared: `EVENT_AZALEA_TOWN_SLOWPOKES`, `EVENT_KURTS_HOUSE_SLOWPOKE`,
`EVENT_KURTS_HOUSE_KURT_1`, `EVENT_ILEX_FOREST_APPRENTICE`,
`EVENT_ILEX_FOREST_FARFETCHD_1`; scene: `AZALEA_TOWN` -> `SCENE_AZALEATOWN_RIVAL_BATTLE`.
14. `MAP_KURTS_HOUSE` at `3, 3`, face UP, A on const 2. Pre:
`EVENT_CLEARED_SLOWPOKE_WELL` set, `EVENT_KURT_GAVE_YOU_LURE_BALL` clear.
Post: `LURE_BALL` in bag, `EVENT_KURT_GAVE_YOU_LURE_BALL` set. The script
then falls straight into the apricorn prompt - answer no unless you want to
hand over the White Apricorn you have not picked yet.
15. Leave via `3, 7`; in `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN` walk to `8, 3`, face UP, A on const 10
at `8, 2` -> `WHT_APRICORN` (daily). Optional: return to Kurt and give it
(`special SelectApricornForKurt`, post: `EVENT_GAVE_KURT_WHT_APRICORN` +
`ENGINE_KURT_MAKING_BALLS`), then come back a real in-game day later for
`FAST_BALL`.
16. Optional heal at the Pokecenter (`15, 9`).
17. `MAP_AZALEA_TOWN`, walk to `10, 17` -> `10, 16` (now empty) -> step on
`10, 15` -> warp 5 -> `MAP_AZALEA_GYM` `4, 15`.
18. `MAP_AZALEA_GYM`: optional A on const 8 at `7, 13` for the type hint.
Walk `4, 14` -> `4, 13` -> `4, 12` -> `4, 11`. Trigger: const 6
`TrainerTwinsAmyandmay1` at `4, 10` (sight 1). Battle `TWINS` / `AMYANDMAY1`
(L10 Spinarak, L10 Ledyba). Post: `EVENT_BEAT_TWINS_AMY_AND_MAY`, which also
retires const 7.
19. West along row 11 to `0, 11`, north up column 0 to `0, 5`. Trigger: const 5
`TrainerBugCatcherJosh` at `0, 2` (sight 3, faces down). Battle
`BUG_CATCHER` / `JOSH` (L13 Paras). Post: `EVENT_BEAT_BUG_CATCHER_JOSH`.
20. North to `0, 3`, east along row 3 toward `4, 3`. Trigger: const 3
`TrainerBugCatcherBenny` at `5, 3` (sight 2, spins). Battle
`BUG_CATCHER` / `BENNY` (L7 Weedle, L9 Kakuna, L12 Beedrill). Post:
`EVENT_BEAT_BUG_CATCHER_BENNY`.
21. East along row 2/3 to column 8-9, south to `8, 11`. Trigger: const 4
`TrainerBugCatcherAl` at `8, 8` (sight 3, faces down). Battle
`BUG_CATCHER` / `AL` (L12 Caterpie, L12 Weedle). Post:
`EVENT_BEAT_BUG_CATCHER_AL`.
22. Route into the middle: `4, 3` or `5, 3` row -> `4, 4` -> `4, 5` -> `3, 5` ->
`3, 6` -> `3, 7` -> `4, 7`, face RIGHT, A on const 2 at `5, 7`. Pre:
`EVENT_BEAT_BUGSY` clear. Battle `BUGSY` / `BUGSY1` (L14 Metapod, L14 Kakuna,
L16 Scyther). Post: `EVENT_BEAT_BUGSY`, `ENGINE_HIVEBADGE`, then the same
conversation continues and yields `TM_FURY_CUTTER` +
`EVENT_GOT_TM49_FURY_CUTTER` and force-sets the four gym-trainer events.
A bot that wants the badge fast can skip steps 19-21 entirely.
23. Leave via `4, 15` / `5, 15`. Next section starts when you walk west and hit
`coord_event 5, 10` / `5, 11`.

| Wild encounters for Slowpoke Well (grass 3-slot time split, water, fishing) | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` (Encounters), `src/battle/gen2/Encounter.lua` | implemented per `docs/gold-phase1.md`; not verified for this map specifically |
| A driver that walks any part of this section | none - `tests/drivers/gold_*.lua` has nothing matching azalea / slowpoke / kurt / bugsy | **missing** |
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Bug Catcher Al's prize.** The walkthrough says 200G. The asm gives
4 (`data/trainers/attributes.asm:215`) x 12 (last mon, L12 Weedle) x 4 = **192G**.
Every other figure in the section matches the formula exactly
(360 / 440 / 360 / 560 / 200 / 208 / 192 / 1600), so this looks like a
walkthrough typo, not a special case.
- **Bugsy's gender.** The walkthrough says "Bugsy and her apprentices" and
"she may have the Bug Pokemon". `AzaleaGymGuideText` in `maps/AzaleaGym.asm`
says "BUGSY's young, but **his** knowledge of bug #MON is for real". The asm
wins.
- **"Liz the Picnicker calls about Moo Moo Milk."** `LizPhoneCallerScript`
(`engine/phone/scripts/trainers.asm:234-254`) only does
`PhoneScript_GreetPhone_Female`, a `checkflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_GOLDENROD`
rematch gate, `PhoneScript_Random2` and `Phone_GenericCall_Female` /
`Phone_CheckIfUnseenRare_Female`. There is no Moo Moo Milk text in her script,
and no `MOOMOO` string turned up anywhere under `engine/phone/`. The generic
call pool may contain such a line, but it is not attributable to Liz from the
map/phone scripts - unresolved.
- **"TM49" listed under *Items found in Azalea Town*.** TM49 is
`verbosegiveitem TM_FURY_CUTTER` inside `AzaleaGymBugsyScript`, i.e. found in
`MAP_AZALEA_GYM`, not on the town map. Cosmetic, but a bot indexing by map
should not look for it outdoors.
- **Battle order inside Slowpoke Well.** The walkthrough's "move on up the
stairs", "head down the stairs" prose does not correspond to any `LADDER` or
`STAIRCASE` collision inside B1F - the only two ladder cells are the two warps
(`17, 15` and `7, 11`). The trainer order it describes (M29 -> F1 -> M2 -> M1)
does match the geometry, so the "stairs" are just prose for the corridors.
- **`SLOWPOKE_WELL_B2F` reachability.** I derived "Surf only" from
`maps/SlowpokeWellB1F.blk` decoded against `data/tilesets/cave_collision.asm`
and `data/collision/collision_permissions.asm`; no script or engine check
states it. If a future reader wants a stronger citation, it would have to come
from the block data, not from an `EVENT_*`.
- **Gym-trainer skippability.** The claim that Josh, Al and (via the column-7
stalk) the twins can be walked past is derived from `maps/AzaleaGym.blk` plus
each object's sight field, not asserted anywhere in the asm. The retroactive
`setevent` block in `AzaleaGymBugsyScript.FightDone` is direct asm evidence
that skipping them is an anticipated state, but the exact dodge path should be
confirmed in-game before a driver depends on it.
- **`variablesprite SPRITE_AZALEA_ROCKET, SPRITE_RIVAL`.** This is why
`AZALEATOWN_RIVAL` is declared with `SPRITE_AZALEA_ROCKET` in
`maps/AzaleaTown.asm`. It also means consts 2 and 12 on that map would draw as
the rival if they were still visible after the well is cleared - they are not,
because both are hidden by then. Worth a look if a port ever renders them.

be beaten before this section can be started at all.
- Bug-Catching Contest run (Tue/Thu/Sat only) - SUN STONE / EVERSTONE / GOLD BERRY / BERRY.
- `EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO` - the single event that unblocks Route 36 west<->east, which
is the only land route between Goldenrod and Violet through Route 36.
- TM08 ROCK SMASH (`EVENT_GOT_TM08_ROCK_SMASH`), TM04 ROLLOUT, TM28 DIG, QUICK CLAW.

## 1. Route order
The walkthrough's own prose is out of order in one place: it opens by collecting the
SQUIRTBOTTLE in Goldenrod, then much later describes Floria running off to fetch it.
In pokegold the SQUIRTBOTTLE has no Route 36 precondition at all (see
"Unresolved / verify by hand"), so the opening order is the one a bot should follow.
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `MAP_GOLDENROD_FLOWER_SHOP` | `maps/GoldenrodFlowerShop.asm` | `GOLDENROD_CITY` warp 6 @ (33, 5) | warp 1/2 @ (2,7)/(3,7) -> `GOLDENROD_CITY` 6 | Talk to the teacher for the SQUIRTBOTTLE |
| 2 | `MAP_ROUTE_35_GOLDENROD_GATE` | `maps/Route35GoldenrodGate.asm` | `GOLDENROD_CITY` warp 13 @ (19, 1) -> gate warp 3 | warp 1/2 @ (4,0)/(5,0) -> `ROUTE_35` 1/2 | Randy hands over Kenya the SPEAROW with FLOWER MAIL |
| 3 | `MAP_ROUTE_35` | `maps/Route35.asm` | gate warp @ (9,33)/(10,33) | warp 3 @ (3, 5) -> `ROUTE_35_NATIONAL_PARK_GATE` 3 | Six trainers + Officer Dirk, walk north |
| 4 | `MAP_ROUTE_35_NATIONAL_PARK_GATE` | `maps/Route35NationalParkGate.asm` | warp 3/4 @ (3,7)/(4,7) | warp 1/2 @ (3,0)/(4,0) -> `NATIONAL_PARK` 3/4 | Contest officer; optional entry to the Contest |
| 5 | `MAP_NATIONAL_PARK_BUG_CONTEST` | `maps/NationalParkBugContest.asm` | script `warp NATIONAL_PARK_BUG_CONTEST, 10, 47` from the south gate (or `33, 18` from the north gate) | contest timer / balls exhausted, or either gate | Optional Tue/Thu/Sat Contest |
| 6 | `MAP_NATIONAL_PARK` | `maps/NationalPark.asm` | warp 3/4 @ (10,47)/(11,47) | warp 1/2 @ (33,18)/(33,19) -> `ROUTE_36_NATIONAL_PARK_GATE` 1/2 | QUICK CLAW, Beverly, Jack, Krise, William, TM28 DIG |
| 7 | `MAP_ROUTE_36_NATIONAL_PARK_GATE` | `maps/Route36NationalParkGate.asm` | warp 1/2 @ (0,4)/(0,5) | warp 3/4 @ (9,4)/(9,5) -> `ROUTE_36` 1/2 | Contest results / prize holding |
| 8 | `MAP_ROUTE_36` | `maps/Route36.asm` | warp 1/2 @ (18,8)/(18,9) | south connection @ y=17 -> `ROUTE_35`; later east connection -> `VIOLET_CITY` | Ice Berry, Psychic Mark, Schoolboy Alan, Sudowoodo, TM08 |
| 9 | `MAP_ROUTE_35` (again) | `maps/Route35.asm` | north connection from `ROUTE_36` (offset 0) | back north to `ROUTE_36` | Cut the tree, Bug Catcher Arnie, Bird Keeper Bryan, TM04 ROLLOUT |
| 10 | `MAP_ROUTE_36` (again) | `maps/Route36.asm` | north connection from `ROUTE_35` | **east connection -> `VIOLET_CITY`** | Sudowoodo cleared, then east into Violet City |
Spills into the next section: step 10's east connection
(`connection east, VioletCity, VIOLET_CITY, 0` in `data/maps/attributes.asm`) drops the
player into `MAP_VIOLET_CITY`, which belongs to a neighbouring section. Route 37
(`MAP_ROUTE_37`, north connection off Route 36 with offset 10) is named in this section's
header but the walkthrough never routes into it; its data is recorded below for
completeness because the item list ("Blk/Blu/Red Apricorn", "Ice Berry") mixes 36 and 37.

**Scripts of interest**
- `FlowerShopTeacherScript` (`57:52d1`) - `checkevent EVENT_GOT_SQUIRTBOTTLE` /
`iftrue .Lalala`; then `checkflag ENGINE_PLAINBADGE` / `iffalse .Lalala`. Only with the
badge and without the event does it `faceplayer` / `opentext` /
`writetext GoldenrodFlowerShopTeacherBetterThanWhitneyText` / `promptbutton` /
`verbosegiveitem SQUIRTBOTTLE` / `setevent EVENT_GOT_SQUIRTBOTTLE`. **Note the bug in
the cart**: there is no `iffalse` after `verbosegiveitem`, so a full PACK still sets
`EVENT_GOT_SQUIRTBOTTLE` and the item is lost. A bot must have a free KEY ITEM slot.
- `FlowerShopFloriaScript` (`57:52f4`) - pure flavour, branches on `ENGINE_PLAINBADGE`.
Gives nothing.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_GOT_SQUIRTBOTTLE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:101` | read+written by `FlowerShopTeacherScript` | one-shot; set even on a full bag |
| `ENGINE_PLAINBADGE` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:40` | read by `FlowerShopTeacherScript`, `FlowerShopFloriaScript` | Whitney's badge is the hard precondition for the whole section |
**Items**

**Trainers** - none.
**Wild encounters** - none (indoor).

### MAP_ROUTE_35_GOLDENROD_GATE
- Script: `maps/Route35GoldenrodGate.asm`
- Blocks: no `.blk` in `maps/` for this map (gate maps of this group share generated
attributes; `data/maps/attributes.asm:542` carries `map_attributes Route35GoldenrodGate, ROUTE_35_GOLDENROD_GATE, $00`)
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:260`): `TILESET_GATE, GATE, LANDMARK_ROUTE_35, MUSIC_ROUTE_36, FALSE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:239` -> `map_const ROUTE_35_GOLDENROD_GATE, 5, 4`
- Connections: none. `GATE` environment is why the walkthrough's "ride your bike through"
works.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 0 | `ROUTE_35` | 1 |

**Scripts of interest**
- `RandyScript` (`56:59ce`) - four-way branch, checked in this order:
`EVENT_GOT_HP_UP_FROM_RANDY` -> `.gothpup`; `EVENT_GAVE_KENYA` -> `.questcomplete`
(`verbosegiveitem HP_UP`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_HP_UP_FROM_RANDY`);
`EVENT_GOT_KENYA` -> `.alreadyhavekenya`; otherwise the offer. On YES it prints thanks,
then `readvar VAR_PARTYCOUNT` / `ifequal PARTY_LENGTH, .partyfull`. Only with a free
slot does it run `givepoke SPEAROW, 10, NO_ITEM, GiftSpearowName, GiftSpearowOTName`,
`givepokemail GiftSpearowMail`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_KENYA`.
- `GiftSpearowMail` = `FLOWER_MAIL`, text `"DARK CAVE leads / to another road"`.
- `GiftSpearowName` = `KENYA`, `GiftSpearowOTName` = `RANDY`.
- The delivery target (`EVENT_GAVE_KENYA`) is on Route 31, i.e. a later section.
- `Route35GoldenrodGatePokefanFScript` - flavour, branches on `EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO`;
its pre-Sudowoodo text is the in-game hint that the SQUIRTBOTTLE is what wakes the tree.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_GOT_KENYA` | `constants/event_flags.asm:89` | `RandyScript` | Spearow accepted |
| `EVENT_GAVE_KENYA` | `constants/event_flags.asm:90` | read here, set on Route 31 | enables the HP UP reward |
| `EVENT_GOT_HP_UP_FROM_RANDY` | `constants/event_flags.asm:91` | `RandyScript` | reward taken |
| `EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO` | `constants/event_flags.asm:51` | read here | flavour only on this map |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPEAROW "KENYA" (lv 10) + `FLOWER_MAIL` | say YES to Randy with a party slot free | `RandyScript` `givepoke` / `givepokemail` | `EVENT_GOT_KENYA` |
| `HP_UP` | return after delivering to Route 31 | `RandyScript` `.questcomplete` | `EVENT_GOT_HP_UP_FROM_RANDY` |
**Trainers** - none. **Wild encounters** - none.

### MAP_ROUTE_35
- Script: `maps/Route35.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route35.blk` (180 bytes = 10 x 18 blocks)
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:248`): `TILESET_JOHTO, ROUTE, LANDMARK_ROUTE_35, MUSIC_ROUTE_36, FALSE, PALETTE_AUTO, FISHGROUP_POND`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:227` -> `map_const ROUTE_35, 10, 18` (so cell
coordinates run 0..19 in x and 0..35 in y)
- Connections (`data/maps/attributes.asm:202`): north `ROUTE_36` offset 0, south
`GOLDENROD_CITY` offset -5
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | 33 | `ROUTE_35_GOLDENROD_GATE` | 1 |

**Scripts of interest**
- `TrainerOfficerDirk` - **not** an `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER` object. It is a plain script that
runs `checktime NITE` / `iffalse .NotNight` first, so Dirk only battles at night. Then
`checkevent EVENT_BEAT_OFFICER_DIRK`, `playmusic MUSIC_OFFICER_ENCOUNTER`,
`winlosstext OfficerDirkBeatenText, 0`, `loadtrainer OFFICER, DIRK`, `startbattle`,
`reloadmapafterbattle`, `setevent EVENT_BEAT_OFFICER_DIRK`. A daytime bot will get
`OfficerDirkPrettyToughText` and no battle.
- `TrainerJugglerIrwin` / `TrainerBugCatcherArnie` - standard phone trainers. After the
win, `checkcellnum PHONE_JUGGLER_IRWIN` / `PHONE_BUG_CATCHER_ARNIE`, then
`setevent EVENT_IRWIN_ASKED_FOR_PHONE_NUMBER` / `EVENT_ARNIE_ASKED_FOR_PHONE_NUMBER`
and `askforphonenumber`. The walkthrough's "head back to Arnie and talk to her for her
phone number" is this second talk.
Rematch tiers: Irwin uses `EVENT_CLEARED_RADIO_TOWER` -> `IRWIN3`,
`ENGINE_FLYPOINT_CIANWOOD` -> `IRWIN2`, else `IRWIN1`. Arnie uses
`ENGINE_FLYPOINT_BLACKTHORN` -> `ARNIE3`, `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_LAKE_OF_RAGE` -> `ARNIE2`,
else `ARNIE1`.

`db $5b, $3c, 0` for `TILESET_JOHTO`. That is the tree the walkthrough tells the player to
cut, and Bug Catcher Arnie at (16, 7) sits immediately behind it. Route 36, Route 37 and
National Park have **no** cuttable blocks (National Park's `.park` entry in
`field_move_blocks.asm` is only the two grass ids `$13` and `$03`).

Paras, Venonat, Butterfree, Beedrill) are **Contest-only**; see below.

### MAP_NATIONAL_PARK_BUG_CONTEST
- Script: `maps/NationalParkBugContest.asm`
- Blocks: none of its own; `data/maps/attributes.asm:413` gives
`map_attributes NationalParkBugContest, NATIONAL_PARK_BUG_CONTEST, $00` and the map is a
same-geometry twin of National Park.
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:94`): `TILESET_PARK, ROUTE, LANDMARK_NATIONAL_PARK, MUSIC_BUG_CATCHING_CONTEST, FALSE, PALETTE_AUTO, FISHGROUP_SHORE`

(Warps 2 and 4 point at dest warp 1, not 2 - that is what the file says.)
**Coord events** - none.
**BG events** - same four rows as National Park, aimed at the `...BugContest...` copies:
(14,44) Relaxation Square sign, (27,31) Battle Notice sign, (6,47) `BGEVENT_ITEM`
`hiddenitem FULL_HEAL, EVENT_NATIONAL_PARK_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL` (the same flag as the normal

**Scripts of interest**
- Every `BugCatchingContestantNAScript` is `faceplayer / opentext / writetext / waitbutton
/ closetext / end` - flavour only, no branching. The `B` variants in the north gate are
the ones that branch on `EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_1` (set by
`BugContestResults_FirstPlace`) to say "you won".
- The battle path is `BugCatchingContestBattleScript::`
(`engine/events/bug_contest/contest.asm:9`): `loadvar VAR_BATTLETYPE, BATTLETYPE_CONTEST`,
`randomwildmon`, `startbattle`, `reloadmapafterbattle`, `readmem wParkBallsRemaining`,
`iffalse BugCatchingContestOutOfBallsScript`.
- `GiveParkBalls` (`engine/events/bug_contest/contest.asm:1`) clears `wContestMon`, writes
`BUG_CONTEST_BALLS` into `wParkBallsRemaining` and `farcall StartBugContestTimer`.
**Contest constants** (`constants/script_constants.asm`)
| constant | line | value |
|---|---|---|
| `BUG_CONTEST_BALLS` | 283 | 20 |
| `BUG_CONTEST_MINUTES` | 284 | 20 |
| `BUG_CONTEST_PLAYER` | 286 | 1 |
| `NUM_BUG_CONTESTANTS` | 287 | 10 (not counting the player) |
| `VAR_CONTESTMINUTES` | 65 | var id 0x11 |
**Contest wild table** - `data/wild/bug_contest_mons.asm`, label `ContestMons`
(`25:7bb8`). This table replaces National Park's grass entirely for the duration:
| % | species | min lv | max lv |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | CATERPIE | 7 | 18 |
| 20 | WEEDLE | 7 | 18 |
| 10 | METAPOD | 9 | 18 |
| 10 | KAKUNA | 9 | 18 |
| 5 | BUTTERFREE | 12 | 15 |
| 5 | BEEDRILL | 12 | 15 |
| 10 | VENONAT | 10 | 16 |
| 10 | PARAS | 10 | 17 |
| 5 | SCYTHER | 13 | 14 |
| 5 | PINSIR | 13 | 14 |
| -1 (terminator row) | VENOMOTH | 30 | 40 |
**Scoring** - `ContestScore` (`04:7cbc`, `engine/events/bug_contest/judging.asm`) sums:
`MaxHP * 4` (high byte only), then Attack, Defense, Speed, SpclAtk, SpclDef, then a DV
bonus assembled from bit 1 of each DV nibble, then `remaining HP / 8`, then `+1` if the
mon is holding an item. Five of the ten AI contestants are rolled by
`ComputeAIContestantScores`, each picking one of three canned mon/score pairs from
`BugContestantPointers` (`data/events/bug_contest_winners.asm`) with a 0..7 random
perturbation. `DetermineContestWinners` keeps a 3-deep podium.
**Prizes** - `BugContestResultsScript` (`40:420e`, `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:275`):
| place | item | no-room fallback flag |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | `SUN_STONE` | `EVENT_CONTEST_OFFICER_HAS_SUN_STONE` |
| 2nd | `EVERSTONE` | `EVENT_CONTEST_OFFICER_HAS_EVERSTONE` |
| 3rd | `GOLD_BERRY` | `EVENT_CONTEST_OFFICER_HAS_GOLD_BERRY` |
| consolation | `BERRY` | `EVENT_CONTEST_OFFICER_HAS_BERRY` |
First place also sets `EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_1`. The tail of the script clears
`ENGINE_BUG_CONTEST_TIMER`, sets all twenty `EVENT_BUG_CATCHING_CONTESTANT_*` flags, sets
`ENGINE_DAILY_BUG_CONTEST`, and resets both gate scenes to their NOOP.

**Callbacks**
- `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` -> `Route36NationalParkGateCheckIfContestRunningCallback`
(same shape as the south gate).
- `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS` -> `Route36NationalParkGateCheckIfContestAvailableCallback`
(`56:6710`): first `checkevent EVENT_WARPED_FROM_ROUTE_35_NATIONAL_PARK_GATE` -> return
unchanged (this is how the awards ceremony keeps the contest officer standing there when
you finished from the *south* gate). Then weekday / `ENGINE_BUG_CONTEST_TIMER`, same as
the south gate.
**Scripts of interest**
- `Route36OfficerScriptContest` (`56:67cc`) - same structure as the south gate's officer
but warps to `NATIONAL_PARK_BUG_CONTEST, 33, 18` and, if `ENGINE_DAILY_BUG_CONTEST` is
already set, falls into `Route36Officer_ContestHasConcluded`, which is the **prize
holding desk**: it checks `EVENT_CONTEST_OFFICER_HAS_SUN_STONE`, then `_EVERSTONE`, then
`_GOLD_BERRY`, then `_BERRY`, `verbosegiveitem`s the first one it finds and clears that
event. A bot that won with a full PACK collects here.
- `Route36NationalParkGateLeavingContestEarlyScript` - the finish-now flow.
`special FadeOutToBlack`, `.CopyContestants` (turns each unset `..._NA` flag into an
`appear` of the matching `B` object), `disappear OFFICER1` / `appear OFFICER2`,
`applymovement PLAYER, Route36NationalParkGatePlayerWaitWithContestantsMovement`
(`big_step DOWN`, `big_step RIGHT`, `turn_head UP`), then
`jumpstd BugContestResultsScript`.

`ifequal THURSDAY, .ArthurAppears` (-> `appear ROUTE36_ARTHUR`), otherwise
`disappear ROUTE36_ARTHUR`.
**Scripts of interest**
- `SudowoodoScript` (`4b:61aa`) - the gate of this section.
`checkitem SQUIRTBOTTLE` / `iftrue .Fight`. Without it: `waitsfx`,
`playsound SFX_SANDSTORM`, `applymovement ROUTE36_WEIRD_TREE, SudowoodoShakeMovement`
(`tree_shake`), `end` - the tree just wobbles and stays solid.
With it: `writetext UseSquirtbottleText`, `yesorno`, `iffalse DidntUseSquirtbottleScript`.
- `WateredWeirdTreeScript::` (`4b:61c1`) - exported so that using the SQUIRTBOTTLE from the
PACK reaches the same body (`engine/events/squirtbottle.asm` does
`farsjump WateredWeirdTreeScript`). Body: text, shake, `SudowoodoAttackedText`,
**`loadwildmon SUDOWOODO, 20`**, `startbattle`, `setevent EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO`,
`ifequal DRAW, DidntCatchSudowoodo`, `disappear ROUTE36_WEIRD_TREE`,
`variablesprite SPRITE_WEIRD_TREE, SPRITE_TWIN`, `reloadmapafterbattle`.
Note the ordering: `EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO` is set **before** the DRAW check, so a run
or a KO still clears the road and still unlocks TM08.
- `DidntCatchSudowoodo` (`4b:61e9`) - `reloadmapafterbattle`,
`applymovement ROUTE36_WEIRD_TREE, WeirdTreeMovement_Flee` (two `fast_jump_step UP`),
`disappear`, `variablesprite`, `special LoadUsedSpritesGFX`.
- `_Squirtbottle` (`14:4763`, `engine/events/squirtbottle.asm`) - the PACK path.
`.CheckCanUseSquirtbottle` requires `wMapGroup == GROUP_ROUTE_36`,
`wMapNumber == MAP_ROUTE_36`, `GetFacingObject` to succeed, and that object's movement
data to be `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SUDOWOODO`. Anything else prints
`_SquirtbottleNothingText`.
- `Route36RockSmashGuyScript` (`4b:61f7`) - `checkevent EVENT_GOT_TM08_ROCK_SMASH` ->
`.AlreadyGotRockSmash`; `checkevent EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO` -> `.ClearedSudowoodo`
(`verbosegiveitem TM_ROCK_SMASH`, `iffalse .NoRoomForTM`,
`setevent EVENT_GOT_TM08_ROCK_SMASH`). Before Sudowoodo it just prints
`RockSmashGuyText1`.
- `ArthurScript` (`4b:62d4`) - `checkevent EVENT_GOT_HARD_STONE_FROM_ARTHUR` ->
`.AlreadyGotStone`; `readvar VAR_WEEKDAY` / `ifnotequal THURSDAY, ArthurNotThursdayScript`;
else `setevent EVENT_MET_ARTHUR_OF_THURSDAY`, `verbosegiveitem HARD_STONE`,
`iffalse .BagFull`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_HARD_STONE_FROM_ARTHUR`.
- `Route36LassScript` (`4b:621e`) - flavour, branches on `EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO`. This is
the girl at (51, 8). She is **not** Floria and gives nothing.
**Flags and events**

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQUIRTBOTTLE not obtainable | `maps/GoldenrodFlowerShop.asm:FlowerShopTeacherScript` (`57:52d1`) - `checkflag ENGINE_PLAINBADGE` / `iffalse .Lalala` | Plain Badge (Whitney) | beat Whitney; talk to the teacher at (2,4) |
| Sudowoodo blocks Route 36 | `maps/Route36.asm:SudowoodoScript` (`4b:61aa`) - the object at cell (35,9) with `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SUDOWOODO` is a solid NPC; the script's `checkitem SQUIRTBOTTLE` / `iftrue .Fight` is the only way past | SQUIRTBOTTLE in the PACK | `EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO` set by `WateredWeirdTreeScript` (`4b:61c1`); the `disappear` runs on any outcome except a draw-flee, and the flee path disappears it too |
| SQUIRTBOTTLE from the PACK does nothing elsewhere | `engine/events/squirtbottle.asm:_Squirtbottle` (`14:4763`) `.CheckCanUseSquirtbottle` | map must be `ROUTE_36` and the faced object must carry `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SUDOWOODO` | face the tree first |
| TM08 ROCK SMASH withheld | `maps/Route36.asm:Route36RockSmashGuyScript` (`4b:61f7`) - `checkevent EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO` | Sudowoodo dealt with | talk to the fisher at (44, 9) |
| East side of Route 35 (Arnie, Bryan, TM04) | `maps/Route35.blk` block `$5b` at block (8,3) = cells x16-17 y6-7; `data/collision/field_move_blocks.asm:14` | CUT, which needs `ENGINE_HIVEBADGE` (`engine/events/overworld.asm:133` `CutFunction.CheckAble`) and a party mon that knows CUT | Azalea's badge + HM01; or enter from Route 36 via the south connection, which is what the walkthrough does |
| Bug Contest closed | `maps/Route35NationalParkGate.asm:Route35OfficerScriptContest` (`56:5e0c`) and `maps/Route36NationalParkGate.asm:Route36OfficerScriptContest` (`56:67cc`) - `readvar VAR_WEEKDAY`, four `ifequal` bail-outs, plus `checkflag ENGINE_DAILY_BUG_CONTEST` | Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, and not already run today | set the RTC weekday; `ENGINE_DAILY_BUG_CONTEST` clears on the daily reset |
| Contest entry refused | same scripts - `readvar VAR_PARTYCOUNT` / `VAR_BOXSPACE` / `special CheckFirstMonIsEgg` / `special ContestDropOffMons` | lead mon is not an EGG, is not fainted, and there is party-or-box room for a caught bug | reorder the party, heal, free a box slot |
| Kenya not given | `maps/Route35GoldenrodGate.asm:RandyScript` (`56:59ce`) - `readvar VAR_PARTYCOUNT` / `ifequal PARTY_LENGTH, .partyfull` | fewer than 6 party mons | deposit one |
| Arthur / Sunny absent | `Route36ArthurCallback` (`4b:619e`) / `Route37SunnyCallback` - `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS` + `VAR_WEEKDAY` | Thursday / Sunday | RTC weekday |
| Officer Dirk will not battle | `maps/Route35.asm:TrainerOfficerDirk` - `checktime NITE` / `iffalse .NotNight` | night time of day | wait, or set the RTC |

## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map geometry, warps, bg/object events for all nine maps | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` (extracted into the cache), consumed by `src/world/gen2/World.lua` / `Map.lua` | implemented (data-driven; nothing map-specific is hand written) |
| Script bytecode for every label above (`FlowerShopTeacherScript`, `RandyScript`, `SudowoodoScript`, `Route36RockSmashGuyScript`, `ArthurScript`, both contest officers, `BugContestResultsScript`) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` + extracted bytecode | implemented - the opcodes these scripts use (`checkevent`, `checkflag`, `checkitem`, `verbosegiveitem`, `givepoke`, `givepokemail`, `loadwildmon`, `variablesprite`, `appear`/`disappear`, `setscene`, `sdefer`, `askforphonenumber`, `checkcellnum`, `checktime`, `fruittree`) all have branches in `Vm.lua` / `Opcodes.lua` |
| `VAR_WEEKDAY` (Arthur, Sunny, contest days) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:1201` `World:weekday`, `World.lua:101` `VAR_WEEKDAY = 0x0b` | implemented |
| `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS` day-of-week NPC swaps | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5991` `World:runMapCallback`, called from `World.lua:5700` | implemented; assertion driver `tests/drivers/gold_map_callbacks.lua` exists but does **not** cover Route 36 / Route 37 / either park gate |
| Bug Catching Contest rules, timer, park balls, scoring, AI contestants, prizes | `src/core/gen2/BugContest.lua` (815 lines; transcribed from `bug_contest/judging.asm`, `contest.asm`, `contest_2.asm`, `caught_mon.asm`, `bug_contest_mons.asm`) | implemented - `BugContest.score`, `rollContestant`, `judge`, `prizeFor`, `pickContestants`, `dropOffMons`, `returnMons`, `start/stop/tickTimer`, `chooseWild` |
| Contest comparison / debug UI | `src/ui/gen2/ContestMenu.lua` | implemented (a comparison screen, not the cart's HUD) |
| Contest super-tall-grass doubled encounter rate | `src/world/gen2/Permissions.lua:85` `SUPER_TALL_GRASS`, `BugContest.encounterRate` | implemented |
| Squirtbottle field check | `src/script/gen2/CallAsm.lua:411` `H.CheckCanUseSquirtbottle` (registered as `"14:4786"`), tested in `tests/gen2_callasm_test.lua:224-244` | implemented |
| **Using the SQUIRTBOTTLE from the PACK** | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:3294` `World:useFieldItem` | **missing** - the dispatch has arms only for `ITEMFINDER`, `BICYCLE`, `SACRED_ASH`, repels, trophy boxes and rods. There is no `SQUIRTBOTTLE` arm, so `_Squirtbottle` is unreachable from the PACK. The talk-to-the-tree path (`SudowoodoScript`'s `checkitem`) still works, which is the route the walkthrough takes |
| **Item ball pickup** (TM04 on Route 35, TM28 DIG and PARLYZ HEAL in National Park) | extractor reads them (`src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:2969` `obj.itemball = readItemBall(...)`) but `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5257` `World:interact` only dispatches on `npc.def.trainer`, strength boulders, `npc.def.scriptKey`, bg events and hidden items | **missing** - `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` objects have no `scriptKey` by design, and nothing consumes `obj.itemball`. A bot cannot pick up any of this section's three item balls |
| Hidden item (National Park FULL HEAL, Route 37 ETHER) | `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua`, wired into `World:interact` | implemented |

---
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
1. **"Talk to Floria... while she goes away to get the Squirtbottle."** No such script
exists in pokegold. `maps/GoldenrodFlowerShop.asm` has a `GOLDENRODFLOWERSHOP_FLORIA`
object at (5, 6) whose `FlowerShopFloriaScript` only prints text, and the girl on
Route 36 at (51, 8) is an anonymous `ROUTE36_LASS1` running `Route36LassScript`, which
also only prints text. The SQUIRTBOTTLE comes from `FlowerShopTeacherScript` gated on
`ENGINE_PLAINBADGE` alone, with no Route 36 precondition. The described sequence looks
like Crystal behaviour that leaked into a Gold/Silver walkthrough.
2. **Contest Pokemon list.** The walkthrough lists "Caterpie/Weedle, Nincada, Scyther,
Pinsir, Volbeat, Wurmple" at "Levels 28-31". `data/wild/bug_contest_mons.asm` has
CATERPIE, WEEDLE, METAPOD, KAKUNA, BUTTERFREE, BEEDRILL, VENONAT, PARAS, SCYTHER,
PINSIR at levels 7-18 (plus VENOMOTH 30-40 on the `-1` terminator row, which is never
selected). NINCADA, VOLBEAT and WURMPLE do not exist in Gen 2 at all. Treat the
walkthrough's list and levels as wrong for this game.
3. **"20 Sport Balls."** The item is `PARK_BALL` (`constants/item_constants.asm:185`),
given by `special GiveParkBalls`, count `BUG_CONTEST_BALLS = 20`. "Sport Ball" is the
Gen 3+ name.
4. **"If you win the contest, you can win a Shiny Stone!"** First place gives `SUN_STONE`
(`BugContestResults_FirstPlace`, `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:346`). The
walkthrough's own item list ("Sun Stone (1st Prize)") agrees; the prose line does not.
There is no Shiny Stone in Gen 2.
5. **"If you catch a Scyther at full HP, it may be worth around 342 points."** Not
verifiable from the asm without a concrete mon: `ContestScore` (`04:7cbc`) is
`MaxHP*4 + Atk + Def + Spe + SpA + SpD + DVbonus + HP/8 + heldItem`, all taken from the
high byte of each stat word. The walkthrough's qualitative claim ("score takes HP into
consideration") is confirmed; the specific number is not checked here.
6. **National Park species list.** The walkthrough lists Butterfree, Weedle, Kakuna,
Beedrill, Paras, Venonat, Scyther and Pinsir as "found in National Park". None of them
appear in `def_grass_wildmons NATIONAL_PARK`; they are Contest-only
(`data/wild/bug_contest_mons.asm`). Sunkern, Caterpie, Metapod, Pidgey and Hoothoot are
the only real National Park grass encounters in Gold.
7. **"Routes 36 & 37" item and species lists are merged.** Everything the walkthrough
attributes to "Routes 36 & 37" except the ICE BERRY, HARD STONE and TM08 actually lives
on Route 37 (`RED_APRICORN`, `BLU_APRICORN`, `BLK_APRICORN`; Ledyba/Spinarak/Pidgeotto),
which this section never enters. Vulpix/Growlithe and Stantler appear on both routes.
8. **"Route 35 & National Park" item list omits the hidden FULL HEAL** at National Park
bg (6, 47) and lists no hidden items at all. Not a contradiction, just incomplete.
9. **"Head back to Arnie and talk to *her*."** `BUG_CATCHER, ARNIE1` uses the male phone
std scripts (`AskNumber1MScript`, `RegisteredNumberMScript`). Cosmetic only.
10. **"Then, we're ready to head into Route 35 after Liz's offer for a rematch on Route
32."** Liz's rematch is a phone event outside this section's maps; no code on any map
in this section references it, so it was not resolved here.
11. **`EVENT_FOUGHT_SUDOWOODO` is set before the DRAW check** in
`WateredWeirdTreeScript`, and both the win branch and `DidntCatchSudowoodo` run
`disappear ROUTE36_WEIRD_TREE`. So the walkthrough's "catch it or else" is a
preference, not a gate - fainting or fleeing still opens the road and still unlocks
TM08. Worth confirming in-game that a *black-out* mid-battle does not leave a
half-applied state, which the asm alone cannot answer.
12. **`MAP_NATIONAL_PARK_BUG_CONTEST` warps 2 and 4 point at destination warp 1**, not 2,
in `maps/NationalParkBugContest.asm:228,230`. Transcribed verbatim; a bot pathing off
those rows should expect the asymmetry rather than assume a typo.

# Section 09 - Olivine City Gym
Source: `../section-09-olivine-city-gym.txt`
Maps covered: `MAP_GOLDENROD_CITY` (fly stop, optional), `MAP_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_SWITCH_ROOM_ENTRANCES` (transit), `MAP_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND`, `MAP_OLIVINE_CITY`, `MAP_OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_1F` .. `MAP_OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_6F`, `MAP_OLIVINE_GYM`
Badges / key milestones in this section: **MINERALBADGE** (`ENGINE_MINERALBADGE`), `EVENT_BEAT_JASMINE`, `TM_IRON_TAIL` (TM23), `EVENT_JASMINE_RETURNED_TO_GYM` (set on Lighthouse 6F, the gate for the gym even existing), the 6th-badge Rocket trigger (`GoldenrodRocketsScript`).
This section assumes the player already has the SECRETPOTION from Cianwood (section 8) and
`ENGINE_STORMBADGE` (Chuck), which is what makes `FLY` usable at all.

| 4 | `OLIVINE_CITY` | `maps/OlivineCity.asm` | Fly (`SPAWN_OLIVINE`, `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_OLIVINE`) | warp 9 at (29, 27) -> `OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_1F` warp 1 | Head for the lighthouse |

Spill into the next section: the walkthrough offers "fly to Ecruteak and go through the Lake of
Rage" as an alternative to fighting Jasmine now. `MAP_LAKE_OF_RAGE` and the Route 42/43 chain
belong to the next section; nothing in this section's asm depends on them.

Object-event visibility convention (verified in `engine/overworld/scripting.asm:879-898`): `appear`
*clears* the flag and `disappear` *sets* it, so **an object is on the map only while its event flag
is clear.**
**Scripts of interest**
- `GoldenrodUndergroundCheckDayOfWeekCallback` (`callback MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS`): `readvar VAR_WEEKDAY`
and appear/disappear the four merchants. Who is standing there:
- Sunday: younger brother + granny
- Monday: gramps only, and only during `MORN` (`checktime MORN`)
- Tuesday / Thursday: **older brother**
- Wednesday / Friday: younger brother
- Saturday: older brother + granny
The walkthrough's "500 haircut" therefore only exists on **Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday**.
- `OlderHaircutBrotherScript` (`46:4129`): `readvar VAR_WEEKDAY`, bails to
`GoldenrodUndergroundScript_ShopClosed` unless TUE/THU/SAT. Then
`checkflag ENGINE_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_GOT_HAIRCUT` (one cut per day, cleared by the daily
reset), `yesorno`, `checkmoney YOUR_MONEY, 500`, `special OlderHaircutBrother`, then
`takemoney YOUR_MONEY, 500`. `DEF GOLDENRODUNDERGROUND_OLDER_HAIRCUT_PRICE EQU 500` is at the top
of the file. The special returns 0/1 (cancel or Egg) or 2/3/4, which the script mirrors into
`EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_1/2/3` just to pick which of three "looks happier" lines to
print.
- `special OlderHaircutBrother` -> `engine/events/haircut.asm:15` -> `HaircutOrGrooming`, weighted
roll over `HappinessData_OlderHaircutBrother` (`data/events/happiness_probabilities.asm:1`):
30% -> `HAPPINESS_OLDERCUT1`, 50%+1 -> `HAPPINESS_OLDERCUT2`, remainder -> `HAPPINESS_OLDERCUT3`.
The actual deltas are `data/events/happiness_changes.asm:13-15`:
`+1/+1/+1`, `+3/+3/+1`, `+5/+5/+2` (columns are happiness <100 / <200 / otherwise).
The younger brother (300, SUN/WED/FRI) rolls 60%+1 / 30% / rest for `+1/+1/+1`, `+3/+3/+1`,
`+10/+10/+4` - **its jackpot row is strictly better than the older brother's**, which the
walkthrough does not mention.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_GOT_HAIRCUT` (id 89) | `constants/engine_flags.asm` | checked+set by both `*HaircutBrotherScript` | one haircut per day, either brother |
| `EVENT_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_OLDER_HAIRCUT_BROTHER` (0x754) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1270` | day-of-week callback | clear = older brother is standing at (7, 14) |
| `EVENT_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_YOUNGER_HAIRCUT_BROTHER` (0x755) | `constants/event_flags.asm` | day-of-week callback | clear = younger brother at (7, 15) |
| `EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_1/2/3` (0x000-0x002) | `constants/event_flags.asm:5-7` | haircut scripts | scratch, do not persist |
**Items** - nothing the walkthrough takes here; the Coin Case itemball and the three hidden items
belong to earlier sections.
**Trainers** - the four in the table above are optional and already beaten by this point in a
linear run.
**Wild encounters** - none (indoor `DUNGEON`, no entry in `data/wild/johto_grass.asm`).

| `SCENE_OLIVINECITY_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER` (= 0) | 13 | 13 | `OlivineCityRivalSceneBottom` | same, mirrored movement |
Scene ids come from the `scene_script` macro's own `const_def` (`macros/scripts/maps.asm:12-36`):
`SCENE_OLIVINECITY_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER` = 0, `SCENE_OLIVINECITY_NOOP` = 1. By this section the scene is
already 1 (the rival scene fires on the *first* Olivine visit, section 8), so both trip-wires are
inert and a bot may walk x=13 freely.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)

Note the rival object sits **on the gym door tile** (10, 11). `InitializeEventsScript`
(`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:520`) sets `EVENT_RIVAL_OLIVINE_CITY` at new game, so he is hidden
except during the cutscene, and the door is walkable.
**Scripts of interest**
- `OlivineCityFlypointCallback` (`callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`): `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_OLIVINE`
(engine flag id 70). This is what makes "fly straight back to Olivine City" legal; it was already
set in section 8.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_OLIVINE` (id 70) | `constants/engine_flags.asm:85` | set by `OlivineCityFlypointCallback` | Olivine selectable on the Fly map |
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_GOLDENROD` (id 69) | `constants/engine_flags.asm:84` | set by `maps/GoldenrodCity.asm:24` | Goldenrod selectable on the Fly map |
| `EVENT_RIVAL_OLIVINE_CITY` | `constants/event_flags.asm` | set by `InitializeEventsScript`, `appear`/`disappear` in the scene scripts | clear = rival standing on the gym door |
**Items** - none taken in this section.
**Trainers** - none on the overworld map.
**Wild encounters** - `data/wild/johto_water.asm:239`:
```
def_water_wildmons OLIVINE_CITY
db 6 percent ; encounter rate

No grass table (`data/wild/johto_grass.asm` has no `OLIVINE` entry). Fish group is

**6F swaps the music to `MUSIC_VIOLET_CITY`** (line 117), which is a cheap way for a bot to

**Which warps are ladders and which are pits.** Derived by decoding each floor's `.blk` against
`data/tilesets/lighthouse_collision.asm`. Block `$3a` and `$31` carry `LADDER` in their bottom-right
tile; block `$28` is `tilecoll FLOOR, FLOOR, PIT, PIT`, i.e. its two bottom tiles drop you a floor.
| floor | tile | block | kind | goes to |

The pit destination coordinates always match the pit's own coordinates on the floor below - the
warp row on the lower floor exists purely as a landing slot and its own destination is never
triggered (the landing tile is plain `FLOOR`).
**Coord events** - none on any floor.
**BG events** - only 5F: `bg_event 3, 13, BGEVENT_ITEM, OlivineLighthouse5FHiddenHyperPotion`.
**Object events** (trainers a bot will be forced into on the climb)
| floor | const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |

`TrainerLassConnie` at 4F (11, 2) is "that one lass". The pit at 4F (8, 3) / (9, 3) is the tile
pair immediately left-and-below her, which matches the walkthrough's "falling to the left of that
one lass".
**6F object events** (`def_object_events`, `maps/OlivineLighthouse6F.asm:270-273`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |

**Scripts of interest**
- `OlivineLighthouseJasmine` (`44:6ccd`, `maps/OlivineLighthouse6F.asm:11`):
1. `faceplayer` / `opentext`
2. `checkitem SECRETPOTION` -> `.BroughtSecretpotion` (`44:6ce7`). Without the potion it falls
into the `EVENT_JASMINE_EXPLAINED_AMPHYS_SICKNESS` (0x37) branch and just repeats the request.
3. `.BroughtSecretpotion`: `writetext JasmineCureAmphyText`, `yesorno`. **`iffalse .Refused`** -
answering No leaves everything unset and the gym stays empty, so a bot must answer Yes.
4. `takeitem SECRETPOTION`, a long cutscene (`turnobject`, `playmusic MUSIC_HEAL`,
`special RestartMapMusic`, `cry AMPHAROS`, `special FadeOutToWhite` / `FadeInFromWhite`).
5. **`setevent EVENT_JASMINE_RETURNED_TO_GYM`** (0x20) and
**`clearevent EVENT_OLIVINE_GYM_JASMINE`** (0x6d3) - this pair is the entire gate on the gym.
6. `readvar VAR_FACING` picks one of three exit movements
(`OlivineLighthouseJasmineLeaves{Up,Down,Right}Movement`) then `disappear OLIVINELIGHTHOUSE6F_JASMINE`.
- `OlivineLighthouseAmphy`: cosmetic; branches on `EVENT_JASMINE_RETURNED_TO_GYM` for the healthy
cry.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_JASMINE_RETURNED_TO_GYM` (0x20) | `constants/event_flags.asm:41` | set by `OlivineLighthouseJasmine`; read by `OlivineGymGuideScript` and `maps/EcruteakCity.asm:47` | the section's real progress bit |
| `EVENT_OLIVINE_GYM_JASMINE` (0x6d3) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1141` | set at new game by `InitializeEventsScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:511`), cleared by `OlivineLighthouseJasmine` | clear = Jasmine is standing in her gym |
| `EVENT_OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_JASMINE` (0x6d2) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1140` | `disappear` at the end of the cure | set = she has left the lighthouse |
| `EVENT_JASMINE_EXPLAINED_AMPHYS_SICKNESS` (0x37) | `constants/event_flags.asm:64` | `OlivineLighthouseJasmine` | first-visit text latch only |
**Items** - `SECRETPOTION` is consumed (`takeitem SECRETPOTION`). Nothing is given.
**Wild encounters** - none on any lighthouse floor (indoor `DUNGEON`, no table).

### MAP_OLIVINE_GYM
- Script: `maps/OlivineGym.asm` (`51:410e OlivineGym_MapScripts`, `51:4507 OlivineGym_MapEvents`)
- Blocks: `maps/OlivineGym.blk` (`2b:7c7b OlivineGym_Blocks`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:51` -> `map OlivineGym, TILESET_CHAMPIONS_ROOM, INDOOR, LANDMARK_OLIVINE_CITY, MUSIC_GYM, TRUE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:40` -> `map_const OLIVINE_GYM, 5, 8` = 10 x 16 tiles (group 1, id 2)
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:473` -> `map_attributes OlivineGym, OLIVINE_GYM, $00`, no connections
- `def_scene_scripts` and `def_callbacks` are both **empty** - no scene variable, no map callbacks.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |

| 1 | 4 | 15 | `OLIVINE_CITY` | 2 |
| 2 | 5 | 15 | `OLIVINE_CITY` | 2 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`) - **none**. There is no trip-wire in this gym; every
interaction is a `faceplayer` talk.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)

The walkthrough's "there are no apprentices of any kind" is literally true in the asm: the object
table has exactly two rows and neither is `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`.
**Walkable shape** (decoded from `maps/OlivineGym.blk` against
`data/tilesets/champions_room_collision.asm`, `.` = FLOOR, `#` = WALL, `W` = `WARP_CARPET_DOWN`,
`U` = `UP_WALL`; x across 0..9, y down 0..15):
```

Columns x=4 and x=5 are floor from y=14 straight up to y=3, so a bot can enter at (4, 15) or
(5, 15) and hold UP to reach Jasmine at (5, 3) with no turns. The two statues are the wall tiles at
(3, 13) and (6, 13); the gym guide stands at (7, 13), reachable from (7, 14).
**Scripts of interest**
- `OlivineGymJasmineScript` (`51:4110`, `maps/OlivineGym.asm:10`). Opcode-by-opcode:
```
faceplayer / opentext
checkevent EVENT_BEAT_JASMINE -> iftrue .FightDone
writetext Jasmine_SteelTypeIntro / waitbutton / closetext
winlosstext Jasmine_BetterTrainer, 0
loadtrainer JASMINE, JASMINE1
startbattle
reloadmapafterbattle
setevent EVENT_BEAT_JASMINE
opentext / writetext Text_ReceivedMineralBadge
playsound SFX_GET_BADGE / waitsfx
setflag ENGINE_MINERALBADGE
readvar VAR_BADGES
scall OlivineGymActivateRockets
.FightDone:
checkevent EVENT_GOT_TM23_IRON_TAIL -> iftrue .GotIronTail
writetext Jasmine_BadgeSpeech / promptbutton
verbosegiveitem TM_IRON_TAIL
iffalse .NoRoomForIronTail
setevent EVENT_GOT_TM23_IRON_TAIL
writetext Jasmine_IronTailSpeech / waitbutton / closetext / end
```
Two bot-relevant consequences: (a) `winlosstext ..., 0` means there is **no loss-warp script**,
losing just blacks you out normally; (b) if the bag has no room in the TM pocket,
`verbosegiveitem` returns false and `EVENT_GOT_TM23_IRON_TAIL` is **not** set - re-talking to
Jasmine retries the give from `.FightDone`. Keep TM room free.
- `OlivineGymActivateRockets` (`51:4159`): the `scall`ed tail, dispatching on the `readvar
VAR_BADGES` value that was just pushed:
```
ifequal 7, .RadioTowerRockets -> jumpstd RadioTowerRocketsScript
ifequal 6, .GoldenrodRockets -> jumpstd GoldenrodRocketsScript
end
```
`VAR_BADGES` is `CountSetBits` over the two `wBadges` bytes
(`engine/overworld/variables.asm:80-86`), so it counts Johto **and** Kanto badges. Since
`setflag ENGINE_MINERALBADGE` runs first, MINERALBADGE is included in the count. On the
walkthrough's route (Zephyr, Hive, Plain, Fog, Storm, Mineral) the count is **6** and
`GoldenrodRocketsScript` fires: `clearevent EVENT_GOLDENROD_CITY_ROCKET_TAKEOVER`
(`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:251-253`), which makes the two Rocket grunts appear in Goldenrod
City at (28, 20) and (8, 15) (`maps/GoldenrodCity.asm:376-377`). Every gym carries the same
`scall` (`maps/VioletGym.asm:31`, `maps/MahoganyGym.asm:34`, ...), so whichever gym hands you
badge 6 is the one that arms the Rockets - beating Jasmine *before* Chuck simply moves the
trigger to Chuck.
- `OlivineGymGuideScript` (`51:4168`): three-way on `EVENT_BEAT_JASMINE`, then
`EVENT_JASMINE_RETURNED_TO_GYM`. Text only, no flags written.
- `OlivineGymStatue` (`51:418a`): `checkflag ENGINE_MINERALBADGE`, `jumpstd GymStatue1Script`
before, `gettrainername STRING_BUFFER_4, JASMINE, JASMINE1` + `jumpstd GymStatue2Script` after.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_OLIVINE_GYM_JASMINE` (0x6d3) | `constants/event_flags.asm:1141` | set by `InitializeEventsScript`; cleared by `OlivineLighthouseJasmine` | **precondition**: while set, the gym is empty and unbeatable |
| `EVENT_BEAT_JASMINE` (0x4c1) | `constants/event_flags.asm:710` | set by `OlivineGymJasmineScript` | postcondition of the battle |
| `ENGINE_MINERALBADGE` (engine flag id 30) | `constants/engine_flags.asm:42`, `data/events/engine_flags.asm:50` (`engine_flag wJohtoBadges, MINERALBADGE`) | `setflag` here, `checkflag` in `OlivineGymStatue` | the badge bit; `MINERALBADGE` bit index in `wJohtoBadges` is `constants/ram_constants.asm:256` |
| `EVENT_GOT_TM23_IRON_TAIL` (0x0d) | `constants/event_flags.asm:19` | `OlivineGymJasmineScript` | one-time TM guard |
| `EVENT_JASMINE_RETURNED_TO_GYM` (0x20) | `constants/event_flags.asm:41` | read by `OlivineGymGuideScript` | flavour only inside the gym |
| `EVENT_GOLDENROD_CITY_ROCKET_TAKEOVER` (0x6cd) | `constants/event_flags.asm` | cleared by `GoldenrodRocketsScript` | side effect of reaching 6 badges |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `TM_IRON_TAIL` (TM23, item id `$d6`, `constants/item_constants.asm:243`) | `verbosegiveitem` after the battle | `OlivineGymJasmineScript` | `EVENT_GOT_TM23_IRON_TAIL` |
| 3500 prize money | battle reward | see below | - |
Prize money check: `TrainerClassAttributes` for Jasmine (`data/trainers/attributes.asm`, the sixth
gym-leader block) is `db HYPER_POTION, NO_ITEM ; items` and `db 25 ; base reward`.
`ComputeTrainerReward` (`engine/battle/read_trainer_party.asm:300-317`) sets
`wBattleReward = 25 * wCurPartyLevel` = `25 * 35` = **875**, and the payout loop in
`engine/battle/core.asm:2340-2360` adds `wBattleReward` **four times** (`ld c, 4`). 875 x 4 =
**3500**, which matches the walkthrough exactly. (Note Jasmine's AI holds a `HYPER_POTION`.)
Badge effect check: `BadgeStatBoosts` (`engine/battle/core.asm:6533-6588`) - the comment block
states "MineralBadge: Defense", and the code deliberately swaps the PlainBadge and MineralBadge
bits before the every-other-badge walk, boosting the stat at `wBattleMonDefense` by 1/8
(`BoostStat`). Separately `data/types/badge_type_boosts.asm:7` maps MINERALBADGE to `STEEL` for the
type-matching trainer-card/boost table. So the walkthrough's "raises your Pokemon's defense
slightly" is correct.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `JASMINE` / `JASMINE1` | `JASMINE` (trainer class 6, `constants/trainer_constants.asm:42-43`) | 1 | `JasmineGroup` (`0e:5a42`, `data/trainers/parties.asm:53`) | `OlivineGymJasmineScript` | none (gym leaders have no phone row) |
`JasmineGroup`, verbatim (`TRAINERTYPE_MOVES`):
```
db "JASMINE@", TRAINERTYPE_MOVES
db 30, MAGNEMITE, THUNDERBOLT, SUPERSONIC, SONICBOOM, THUNDER_WAVE
db 30, MAGNEMITE, THUNDERBOLT, SUPERSONIC, SONICBOOM, THUNDER_WAVE
db 35, STEELIX, SCREECH, SUNNY_DAY, ROCK_THROW, IRON_TAIL
db -1 ; end
```
EXP check against the walkthrough's numbers: trainer EXP is `base * level / 7 * 3 / 2`.
Magnemite base exp 89 (`data/pokemon/base_stats/magnemite.asm:8`) -> `89*30/7 = 381`, `*3/2 = 571`.
Steelix base exp 196 (`data/pokemon/base_stats/steelix.asm:8`) -> `196*35/7 = 980`, `*3/2 = 1470`.
Both match.
**Wild encounters** - none (`INDOOR`).

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jasmine is not in her gym | `maps/OlivineGym.asm:212` object row, event flag `EVENT_OLIVINE_GYM_JASMINE`; visibility semantics in `engine/overworld/scripting.asm:879-898` | flag must be **clear** | `clearevent EVENT_OLIVINE_GYM_JASMINE` at `maps/OlivineLighthouse6F.asm:69` |
| Jasmine will not leave the lighthouse | `maps/OlivineLighthouse6F.asm:14` `checkitem SECRETPOTION` | `SECRETPOTION` in the bag (from the Cianwood Pharmacy, section 8) | hand it over and answer **Yes** to `JasmineCureAmphyText` (`yesorno` at line 29; `iffalse .Refused` aborts the whole scene) |
| Cannot Fly to Olivine / Goldenrod | `engine/events/overworld.asm:544-547` (`FlyFunction.TryFly` -> `ld de, ENGINE_STORMBADGE` / `call CheckBadge`), mirrored in the port at `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:107` (`FLY = "STORM"`), plus `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_OLIVINE` (id 70) / `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_GOLDENROD` (id 69) set by each town's `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` (`maps/OlivineCity.asm:22`, `maps/GoldenrodCity.asm:24`) | `ENGINE_STORMBADGE` + having visited the town on foot | both already true entering this section |
| Haircut unavailable | `OlderHaircutBrotherScript` `readvar VAR_WEEKDAY` + `GoldenrodUndergroundCheckDayOfWeekCallback` | in-game weekday must be TUE/THU/SAT for the 500 brother | wait for the day, or use the younger brother SUN/WED/FRI for 300 |
| Second haircut same day | `checkflag ENGINE_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_GOT_HAIRCUT` (engine flag 89) | flag clear | daily reset |
| 4F of the lighthouse is a dead end from the (13, 3) ladder | geometry: 4F pit at (8, 3)/(9, 3), block `$28` in `maps/OlivineLighthouse4F.blk`, warps 7/8 | must step into the pit and re-climb via 3F warp 3 at (9, 5) | no flag, purely navigational |
| No TM pocket room | `verbosegiveitem TM_IRON_TAIL` -> `iffalse .NoRoomForIronTail` (`maps/OlivineGym.asm:35-36`) | free TM slot | drop a TM and re-talk to Jasmine |
Nothing in this section requires `CUT`, `SURF`, `STRENGTH`, `WHIRLPOOL`, `WATERFALL` or `FLASH`.

## 4. Bot checklist
Optional Eevee-happiness detour (steps 1-5) can be skipped entirely.
1. **Fly** to `SPAWN_GOLDENROD`. Precondition: `ENGINE_STORMBADGE` set and `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_GOLDENROD` (id 69) set. Postcondition: on `GOLDENROD_CITY`.
2. `GOLDENROD_CITY`: walk to (11, 29), step onto warp 15. Postcondition: on `GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_SWITCH_ROOM_ENTRANCES` at warp 5 (4, 29).
3. `GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_SWITCH_ROOM_ENTRANCES`: walk to (5, 25), step onto warp 4. Postcondition: on `GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND` at warp 2 (3, 34).
4. `GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND`: precondition `VAR_WEEKDAY in {TUESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY}` and `ENGINE_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_GOT_HAIRCUT` clear and money >= 500. Walk to (6, 14) and face RIGHT (the brother stands at (7, 14) facing left); talk. Answer **Yes**, pick the Eevee. Postcondition: `ENGINE_GOLDENROD_UNDERGROUND_GOT_HAIRCUT` set, money -500, Eevee happiness +1/+3/+5.
5. Retrace warps out (warp 2 at (3, 34) -> switch-room warp 5/6 at (4, 29)/(5, 29) -> `GOLDENROD_CITY`).
6. **Fly** to `SPAWN_OLIVINE`. Precondition: `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_OLIVINE` (id 70). Postcondition: on `OLIVINE_CITY`.
7. `OLIVINE_CITY`: walk to (29, 27), step onto warp 9. Postcondition: on `OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_1F` at warp 1 (10, 17).
8. `1F`: walk to (3, 11), step on ladder-up. -> `2F` (3, 11).
9. `2F`: walk to (5, 3), ladder-up. -> `3F` (5, 3). (Sailor Huey (9, 3) and Gentleman Alfred (17, 8) are already beaten; their `EVENT_BEAT_*` flags guard re-battle.)
10. `3F`: walk to (13, 3), ladder-up. -> `4F` (13, 3).
11. `4F`: walk to the pit at (8, 3) or (9, 3) - "left of Lass Connie at (11, 2)". Step in. -> `3F` (8, 3)/(9, 3).
12. `3F`: walk to (9, 5), ladder-up. -> `4F` (9, 5).
13. `4F`: walk to (9, 7), ladder-up. -> `5F` (9, 7). (Alternative: 4F (3, 5) -> 5F (3, 5).)
14. `5F`: walk to (9, 15), ladder-up. -> `6F` (9, 15). Confirm arrival by `MUSIC_VIOLET_CITY` playing (6F is the only lighthouse floor with it).
15. `6F`: precondition `SECRETPOTION` in bag and `EVENT_OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_JASMINE` clear. Walk to (8, 9) and face UP (Jasmine at (8, 8) faces down) and talk. Answer **Yes** to `JasmineCureAmphyText`. Sit through ~120 frames of cutscene (`pause 60`, `pause 15`, several `pause 10`). Postcondition: `SECRETPOTION` removed, `EVENT_JASMINE_RETURNED_TO_GYM` set, `EVENT_OLIVINE_GYM_JASMINE` **cleared**, `EVENT_OLIVINE_LIGHTHOUSE_JASMINE` set.
16. Descend: `6F` pit at (16, 5)/(17, 5) -> `5F`; `5F` pit at (16, 7)/(17, 7) -> `4F`; `4F` pit at (16, 9)/(17, 9) -> `3F`; `3F` pit at (16, 11)/(17, 11) -> `2F`; `2F` pit at (16, 13)/(17, 13) -> `1F`. Then `1F` (10, 17)/(11, 17) facing DOWN -> `OLIVINE_CITY` warp 9 at (29, 27).
17. `OLIVINE_CITY`: (optional) heal at the Pokecenter, warp 1 at (13, 21). Save before the gym.
18. `OLIVINE_CITY`: walk to (10, 11), step onto warp 2. Postcondition: on `OLIVINE_GYM` at warp 1 (4, 15).
19. `OLIVINE_GYM`: (optional) talk to the guide by walking to (7, 14) and facing UP.
20. `OLIVINE_GYM`: hold UP along x=5 from (5, 14) to (5, 4), face UP, talk to Jasmine at (5, 3). Precondition: `EVENT_OLIVINE_GYM_JASMINE` clear, `EVENT_BEAT_JASMINE` clear, a free TM slot. Battle `loadtrainer JASMINE, JASMINE1`.
21. Win. Postconditions in order: `EVENT_BEAT_JASMINE` set -> `ENGINE_MINERALBADGE` set -> money +3500 -> `VAR_BADGES` re-read -> if it equals 6, `EVENT_GOLDENROD_CITY_ROCKET_TAKEOVER` cleared (Rockets appear in Goldenrod) -> `verbosegiveitem TM_IRON_TAIL` -> `EVENT_GOT_TM23_IRON_TAIL` set.
22. Leave via (4, 15)/(5, 15) facing DOWN -> `OLIVINE_CITY` warp 2 (10, 11).
Battle notes for the driver: lead a Fire or Fighting attacker; both Magnemite carry
`THUNDER_WAVE` (paralysis risk) and `SONICBOOM` (fixed 20 damage, ignores type - it will connect on
a Ground type); Steelix has `IRON_TAIL` and `SUNNY_DAY` (which boosts your own Fire moves too).

## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **"Climb up the Olivine Lighthouse in the EXACT same way you came up."** The ladder/pit graph in
section 2 is fully decoded from the `.blk` files and `data/tilesets/lighthouse_collision.asm`, but
I did **not** flood-fill each floor to prove the specific walking path between a ladder and the
next pit. Steps 8-14 of the checklist are the geometrically obvious route (and the pit at 4F
(8, 3)/(9, 3) really is left of Lass Connie at (11, 2)), but the intermediate tile-by-tile route
on 3F, 4F and 5F should be confirmed in-game before a driver hard-codes it.
- **"Talk to the man who is running the second/middle shop."** The asm has four merchant objects in
one column at x=7: gramps y=11, older brother y=14, younger brother y=15, granny y=21, and
`GoldenrodUndergroundCheckDayOfWeekCallback` hides most of them on any given day. "Middle" is
therefore day-dependent; the unambiguous identifier is the **500 price**
(`GOLDENRODUNDERGROUND_OLDER_HAIRCUT_PRICE`), i.e. the older brother at (7, 14), available
TUE/THU/SAT only. The walkthrough does not mention the weekday restriction at all.
- **"Eevee's happiness meter should get a nice boost."** The older brother's roll is +1 (30%),
+3 (50%) or +5 (20%) at happiness < 200. The younger brother's top roll is +10. The walkthrough's
implied "500 is the better option" is not supported by
`data/events/happiness_probabilities.asm` / `data/events/happiness_changes.asm`.
- **"Say Yes to the fact that Ampharos will be cured by the medicine."** Confirmed as a hard
requirement (`yesorno` / `iffalse .Refused` at `maps/OlivineLighthouse6F.asm:29-30`), but note the
refusal path is *recoverable*: it sets nothing, so the player can simply talk again.
- **EXP values (571 / 1470)** are reproduced by the standard trainer formula from the base-exp bytes
I read, but I did not open the EXP-award routine itself to confirm the `*3/2` trainer multiplier
in this disassembly; treat those two numbers as arithmetic agreement rather than a code citation.
- **`data/trainers/attributes.asm` Jasmine row**: the file has no per-class labels, only ordered
comment headers. I identified Jasmine's row by the `; Jasmine` comment (sixth block, `db 25 ;
base reward`, `db HYPER_POTION, NO_ITEM`). If that comment ever drifts from the class order in
`constants/trainer_constants.asm`, the 3500 derivation drifts with it.
- The walkthrough's "you can go to the Lake of Rage first" branch is out of scope here; nothing in
the Olivine Gym asm checks for it.

- Connections: `data/maps/attributes.asm:152-155` -> north `Route43`, west `Route42`, east `Route44`
- Scene ids (declared inline by `scene_script`): `SCENE_MAHOGANYTOWN_TRY_RAGECANDYBAR` = 0, `SCENE_MAHOGANYTOWN_NOOP` = 1
- Callback: `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP, MahoganyTownFlypointCallback` -> `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_MAHOGANY`
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)

**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`)
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_MAHOGANYTOWN_TRY_RAGECANDYBAR` (0) | 19 | 8 | `MahoganyTownTryARageCandyBarScript` | merchant steps in front of you and pitches a RAGECANDYBAR |
| `SCENE_MAHOGANYTOWN_TRY_RAGECANDYBAR` (0) | 19 | 9 | `MahoganyTownTryARageCandyBarScript` | same |
The script never calls `setscene`, so the pitch re-fires every time you cross x=19
until `RadioTowerRocketsScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:263`) runs
`setmapscene MAHOGANY_TOWN, SCENE_MAHOGANYTOWN_NOOP`.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)

Object-event flag polarity (verified in `engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm`
`CheckObjectFlag`): the flag being **set** masks (hides) the object; `-1` means
always visible. So `EVENT_MAHOGANY_TOWN_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_GYM` clear = the fisher
stands on `6,14`, one cell south of the gym warp at `6,13`, blocking it. That flag
is set by `RocketBaseElectrodeScript` at the end of the hideout, which is the real
gate on the Mahogany gym (see section 3).

### MAP_MAHOGANY_MART_1F
- Script: `maps/MahoganyMart1F.asm` (`45:4000 MahoganyMart1F_MapScripts`)

**Scripts of interest**
`MahoganyMart1FLanceUncoversStaircaseScript` (`45:4046`), reached as
`scene_script ... SCENE_MAHOGANYMART1F_LANCE_UNCOVERS_STAIRS` via `sdefer`, so it
fires on map entry without any player input:
1. Dragonite `big_step LEFT / big_step RIGHT` into the Black Belt, `disappear MAHOGANYMART1F_DRAGONITE`
2. Lance walks over (`MahoganyMart1FLanceApproachPlayerMovement`), `follow MAHOGANYMART1F_LANCE, PLAYER`, shoves the pharmacist aside
3. `changeblock 6, 2, $1e` + `refreshmap` + `setevent EVENT_UNCOVERED_STAIRCASE_IN_MAHOGANY_MART`
4. `disappear MAHOGANYMART1F_LANCE`, `setscene SCENE_MAHOGANYMART1F_NOOP`
`changeblock`'s operands are **map cell coordinates**, not block coordinates
(`Script_changeblock` at `engine/overworld/scripting.asm:2031` adds 4 to each and
calls `GetBlockLocation`, which halves them - `home/map.asm:2099`). `6,2` is
therefore block (3,1), covering cells (6..7, 2..3); block `$1e` in
`data/tilesets/traditional_house_collision.asm` is `FLOOR, FLOOR, FLOOR, LADDER`,
putting the LADDER on cell `7,3` - exactly the warp row above.
Marts: `MahoganyMart1FPharmacistScript` -> `pokemart MARTTYPE_STANDARD, MART_MAHOGANY_1`
(closed once `EVENT_DECIDED_TO_HELP_LANCE` is set),
`MahoganyMart1FGrannyScript` -> `pokemart MARTTYPE_STANDARD, MART_MAHOGANY_2`.

- Dimensions: `map_const TEAM_ROCKET_BASE_B1F, 15, 9` (group 3, map id 41) = 30x18 cells
- Scene ids: `SCENE_TEAMROCKETBASEB1F_TRAPS` = 0 (the only one)
- Callback: `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS, TeamRocketBaseB1FHideSecurityGruntCallback` -> `disappear TEAMROCKETBASEB1F_ROCKET1` (the camera grunt is parked off-screen at `0,0` and teleported in by `moveobject`)
The whole floor is one connected walkable region (flood-filled from
`maps/TeamRocketBaseB1F.blk` against `data/tilesets/underground_collision.asm`).
**Warps**

Safe cells inside the 5x7 trap field (x 1..5, y 7..13) are exactly those with no

`(1,11)`, `(3,11)`, `(5,11)`, `(3,12)`, `(2,13)`. `(3,11)` is also the hidden REVIVE.
That is the "zig-zag" the walkthrough describes.

**Scripts of interest**
- `SecurityCamera1a` .. `SecurityCamera5`: `checkevent EVENT_SECURITY_CAMERA_n` -> bail;
`PlaySecurityCameraSounds` (6x `SFX_LICK`); `checkevent EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_BASE_POPULATION`
-> bail (never true, see below); `showemote EMOTE_SHOCK, PLAYER`;
`playmusic MUSIC_ROCKET_ENCOUNTER`; `moveobject TEAMROCKETBASEB1F_ROCKET1, <x>, <y>`;
`appear`; `applymovement SecurityCameraMovement*`; `scall TrainerCameraGrunt1`;
repeat for `TrainerCameraGrunt2`; `setevent EVENT_SECURITY_CAMERA_n`.
Both grunt scripts use `loadtrainer` + `startbattle` directly (no `trainer` macro,
so no per-trainer beat flag) - the same two teams are re-fought at every camera.
- `TeamRocketBaseB1FSecretSwitch` (`45:4757`): if `EVENT_TURNED_OFF_SECURITY_CAMERAS`
is already set, prints "the switch is turned off"; otherwise
`playsound SFX_TALLY` and sets
`EVENT_TURNED_OFF_SECURITY_CAMERAS` + `EVENT_SECURITY_CAMERA_1..5` in one go.
Cell `19,11` is a wall, read from `19,12` facing up.
- `TrainerScientistJed` -> `.Script` after-battle text tells you about the warp panel.
- `TrainerGruntM16` -> after-battle text about the traps.

`data/wild/johto_grass.asm`, `johto_water.asm`, `fish.asm` or `treemons.asm`. The
only wild battles are the `loadwildmon` traps above and the three Electrode on B2F.

The Electrodes on the right (`22,5/7/9`) mirror the left three and share their flags;
`RocketElectrodeN` disappears both of a pair, so Lance's three "count" without ever
being battled.
**Scripts of interest**
- `LanceHealsCommon` (`45:4d4c`): `special FadeOutToWhite`, `playsound SFX_FULL_HEAL`,
`special HealParty`, `special FadeInFromWhite`,
`setscene SCENE_TEAMROCKETBASEB2F_ROCKET_BOSS`,
`setevent EVENT_LANCE_HEALED_YOU_IN_TEAM_ROCKET_BASE`, then `readvar VAR_FACING`
picks one of two exit movements and `disappear TEAMROCKETBASEB2F_LANCE`.
**This is a hard ordering dependency**: the boss ambush coord events only exist
on scene 1, so the transmitter room cannot be entered until Lance has healed you.
- `TeamRocketBaseB2FLockedDoor` (`45:4e8f`): `conditional_event` on
`EVENT_OPENED_DOOR_TO_ROCKET_HIDEOUT_TRANSMITTER`; `.Script` checks
`EVENT_LEARNED_HAIL_GIOVANNI`. If known: `playsound SFX_ENTER_DOOR`,
`changeblock 14, 12, $07`, `refreshmap`, `setevent EVENT_OPENED_DOOR_TO_ROCKET_HIDEOUT_TRANSMITTER`.
- `RocketBaseBossFScript` (`45:4c67`): cutscene, then
`loadtrainer EXECUTIVEF, EXECUTIVEF_2` + `startbattle`;
sets `EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_BASE_B2F_EXECUTIVE`, `..._GRUNT_WITH_EXECUTIVE`,
`..._LANCE`, `EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_EXECUTIVEF_2`; then
`setscene SCENE_TEAMROCKETBASEB2F_ELECTRODES`, `clearevent EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_BASE_B2F_LANCE`
(re-showing Lance), the Electrode briefing, `disappear TEAMROCKETBASEB2F_LANCE`.
- `RocketElectrode1/2/3`: `cry ELECTRODE`, `loadwildmon ELECTRODE, 23`, `startbattle`.
`iftrue TeamRocketBaseB2FReloadMap` covers the "you lost/fled" path. After all three
events are set, the player is auto-walked out by
`RocketBasePlayerLeavesElectrodesMovement1/2/3` into `RocketBaseElectrodeScript`.
No `BATTLETYPE_*` is armed here, so these are catchable ordinary wild battles.
- `RocketBaseElectrodeScript` (`45:4e3c`) - the section's payoff:
`verbosegiveitem HM_WHIRLPOOL`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_HM06_WHIRLPOOL`, then
`setevent EVENT_CLEARED_ROCKET_HIDEOUT`,
`clearflag ENGINE_ROCKET_SIGNAL_ON_CH20`,
`setevent EVENT_ROUTE_43_GATE_ROCKETS`,
`setevent EVENT_MAHOGANY_TOWN_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_GYM` (hides the fisher -> gym opens),
`setscene SCENE_TEAMROCKETBASEB2F_NOOP`,
`clearevent EVENT_LAKE_OF_RAGE_CIVILIANS`,
`setevent EVENT_TURNED_OFF_SECURITY_CAMERAS` + `EVENT_SECURITY_CAMERA_1..5`.
**Items** (B2F)

| `HM_WHIRLPOOL` (HM06) | `verbosegiveitem` from Lance | `RocketBaseElectrodeScript` | `EVENT_GOT_HM06_WHIRLPOOL` |
TM numbering check: `constants/item_constants.asm` `add_tm THIEF ; ee` is the 46th
`add_tm` (the `const ITEM_C3` / `const ITEM_DC` holes do not consume TM numbers), so
TM46 = Thief, matching the walkthrough. `add_tm ICY_WIND ; cf` is the 16th = TM16.

The Murkrow the walkthrough talks to is the object using `SPRITE_MOLTRES` at `7,2`;
its script is `RocketBaseMurkrow` and its text says MURKROW. The sprite constant is
the generic large-bird overworld sprite, not a Moltres encounter.
**Scripts of interest**
- `LanceGetPasswordScript` (`45:5cb4`): both the `sdefer` scene script for scene 0
and the Lance object's own script. Runs on entry to the right region, prints
`LanceGetPasswordText`, `disappear TEAMROCKETBASEB3F_LANCE` (which sets
`EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_BASE_B3F_LANCE_PASSWORDS`), `setscene SCENE_TEAMROCKETBASEB3F_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER`.
- `SlowpokeTailGrunt` -> `trainer GRUNTF, GRUNTF_5, EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTF_5, ...`;
`GruntF5Script` (the after-battle arm) does `setevent EVENT_LEARNED_SLOWPOKETAIL`.
**Sight range 0** - she never initiates; the bot must walk up and talk, then talk
a second time for the password.
- `RaticateTailGrunt` -> `trainer GRUNTM, GRUNTM_28, EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_GRUNTM_28, ...`;
`GruntM28Script` does `setevent EVENT_LEARNED_RATICATE_TAIL`. Sight 3,
`SPINRANDOM_FAST` (the "spinning Team Rocket member").
- `TeamRocketBaseB3FLockedDoor` (`45:5da9`): `.Script` requires
`EVENT_LEARNED_SLOWPOKETAIL` **and** `EVENT_LEARNED_RATICATE_TAIL`; on success
`changeblock 10, 8, $07`, `refreshmap`, `setevent EVENT_OPENED_DOOR_TO_GIOVANNIS_OFFICE`.
- `RocketBaseRival` (`45:5cd1`): `appear TEAMROCKETBASEB3F_RIVAL`, walk-in, dialogue,
`applymovement PLAYER, RocketBaseRivalShovesPlayerMovement` (a `big_step RIGHT`
with `fix_facing`), `disappear`, `setscene SCENE_TEAMROCKETBASEB3F_ROCKET_BOSS`.
No battle - matches the walkthrough ("He can't battle you though").
- `RocketBaseBoss` (`45:5d0e`): `loadtrainer EXECUTIVEM, EXECUTIVEM_4`, `startbattle`,
`setevent EVENT_BEAT_ROCKET_EXECUTIVEM_4`, long exit movement,
`disappear TEAMROCKETBASEB3F_ROCKET1`, `setscene SCENE_TEAMROCKETBASEB3F_NOOP`.
- `RocketBaseMurkrow` (`45:5d49`): text, then `setevent EVENT_LEARNED_HAIL_GIOVANNI`.

Sliding rule (`engine/overworld/player_movement.asm`): `CheckIceTile` on the tile
you land on -> `STEP_ICE`; `.CheckForced` / `CheckStandingOnIce` re-injects the same
d-pad direction, so a single press slides until you land on a non-ice tile, hit a
wall, or hit an NPC.
Simulating that rule against the grid above (NPCs treated as blockers) reproduces
the walkthrough's directions exactly:
| from | press | lands on | who |
|---|---|---|---|
| `4,17` (warp) | `UP` | `4,16` | - |
| `4,16` | `LEFT`, `LEFT`, `LEFT` | `3,16` -> `2,16` -> `0,16` | faces Boarder Ronald `0,17` |
| `0,16` | `UP`,`UP`,`RIGHT`,`DOWN`,`LEFT` | `0,8` -> `0,2` -> `6,2` -> `6,5` -> `2,5` | faces Boarder Douglas `2,4` |
| `2,5` | `DOWN`,`RIGHT` | `2,10` -> `5,10` | faces Boarder Brad `5,9` |
| `5,10` | `RIGHT`,`DOWN` | `9,10` -> `9,16` | faces Skier Clarissa `9,17` |
| `9,16` | `UP`,`UP`,`LEFT` | `9,10` -> `9,7` -> `4,7` | faces Skier Roxanne `4,6` |
| `4,7` | `DOWN` | `4,14` | back toward the exit |
| `2,14` ("just left of the left pillar", pillar block at `3,14`/`3,15`) | `UP`,`UP`,`RIGHT`,`DOWN`,`LEFT`,`UP`,`RIGHT` | `2,10` -> `2,5` -> `6,5` -> `6,13` -> `3,13` -> `3,4` -> `5,4` | standing directly below Pryce `5,3` |
Reaching `2,14` from the entrance: `UP` (to `4,16`), `LEFT` (`3,16`), `LEFT`
(`2,16`), `UP` (`2,15`), `UP` (`2,14`) - `2,15`/`2,16`/`2,14` are ordinary floor,
not ice, so those are single steps.
**Scripts of interest**
`MahoganyGymPryceScript` (`51:536e`):
1. `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_PRYCE` -> `.FightDone`
2. `writetext PryceText_Intro`; `winlosstext PryceText_Impressed, 0`;
`loadtrainer PRYCE, PRYCE1`; `startbattle`; `reloadmapafterbattle`
3. `setevent EVENT_BEAT_PRYCE`; `Text_ReceivedGlacierBadge`;
`playsound SFX_GET_BADGE`; `setflag ENGINE_GLACIERBADGE`
4. `readvar VAR_BADGES`; `scall MahoganyGymActivateRockets` -
`ifequal 7, .RadioTowerRockets` / `ifequal 6, .GoldenrodRockets`.
Badge count is read **after** GLACIERBADGE is set, so the normal route
(Glacier as the 7th badge) takes `jumpstd RadioTowerRocketsScript`
(`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:255`), which sets
`ENGINE_ROCKETS_IN_RADIO_TOWER`, `EVENT_GOLDENROD_CITY_CIVILIANS`,
`EVENT_RADIO_TOWER_BLACKBELT_BLOCKS_STAIRS`,
`EVENT_MAHOGANY_TOWN_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_EAST`,
`specialphonecall SPECIALCALL_WEIRDBROADCAST`, and
`setmapscene MAHOGANY_TOWN, SCENE_MAHOGANYTOWN_NOOP`.
Skipping Jasmine first (Glacier as the 6th) takes
`GoldenrodRocketsScript` instead, which only clears
`EVENT_GOLDENROD_CITY_ROCKET_TAKEOVER`.
5. `.FightDone`: if `EVENT_GOT_TM16_ICY_WIND` is set -> farewell text. Otherwise
`setevent EVENT_BEAT_SKIER_ROXANNE / _CLARISSA / _BOARDER_RONALD / _BRAD / _DOUGLAS`
(so the five gym trainers never battle again), `PryceText_GlacierBadgeSpeech`,
`verbosegiveitem TM_ICY_WIND`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_TM16_ICY_WIND`.
`MahoganyGymStatue`: `checkflag ENGINE_GLACIERBADGE`; before the badge
`jumpstd GymStatue1Script`, after it `gettrainername STRING_BUFFER_4, PRYCE, PRYCE1`
+ `jumpstd GymStatue2Script`.

## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map headers / warps / coord events / bg events / objects for all six maps | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua`, `src/world/gen2/Map.lua` | implemented (generic extraction, nothing map-specific needed) |
| Map scenes + `sdefer` scene scripts | `src/world/gen2/World.lua` (`World:scene`, `mapScenes`), `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` (`sdefer`, `setscene`, `setmapscene`) | implemented |
| Coord-event trip-wires | `src/world/gen2/World.lua` (coord event dispatch) | implemented |
| `changeblock` (mart staircase, both password doors) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:1006` - the comment cites `MahoganyMart1F`'s `changeblock 6, 2, $1e` and cell `(7,3)` by name | implemented |
| `BGEVENT_IFNOTSET` / `conditional_event` (both password doors) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5147 World:bgEventAt` only matches `(ev.kind or 0) == 0`; `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua` handles kind 7 | **missing** - pressing A on the transmitter door or Giovanni's door does nothing in the port |
| Ice sliding (`STEP_ICE`, `CheckStandingOnIce` forced d-pad) | `src/world/gen2/Permissions.lua:128 ICE` exists but is only consumed by `FieldMoves.canEncounterWildMon`; `World:movePlayer` picks step frames from `Bike.stepFrames` only | **missing** - Mahogany Gym floor behaves as ordinary floor, so the puzzle and the trainer sight lines are wrong |
| Trainer sight range / approach | `src/world/gen2/Trainers.lua` (`Trainers.sees`, `Trainers.approach`) | implemented (`sight 0` on GruntF5 falls out naturally) |
| `itemball` / `hiddenitem` | `src/script/gen2/CallAsm.lua`, `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua` | implemented |
| `verbosegiveitem HM_WHIRLPOOL` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua`, `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua` | implemented |
| Whirlpool field move + GLACIERBADGE gate | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:109` (`WHIRLPOOL = "GLACIER"`), `.somethingToWhirlpool`, `.whirlpoolFromMenu`, `.tryWhirlpoolOW`, `WHIRLPOOL_BLOCKS` | implemented |
| `loadwildmon` + `BATTLETYPE_TRAP` | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:4587` (names "TRAP 9 (the Rocket base)"), `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:699` | implemented |
| `special HealParty` / `FadeOutToWhite` / `FadeInFromWhite` / `PlayMapMusic` / `ReloadSpritesNoPalettes` / `FadeOutToBlack` / `FadeInFromBlack` / `RestartMapMusic` / `FadeOutMusic` | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:450, 992-1066` | implemented |
| `moveobject` / `appear` / `disappear` / `applymovement` / `follow` / `showemote` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua`, `src/script/gen2/Movement.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua` | implemented |
| `jumpstd` (`TeamRocketOathScript`, `GymStatue1/2Script`, `PokecenterSignScript`, `RadioTowerRocketsScript`) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:742`, `data/generated/std_scripts.lua` via `World.lua:635` | implemented (generic) |
| `readvar VAR_BADGES` for `MahoganyGymActivateRockets` | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:117,1240` | implemented |
| `specialphonecall SPECIALCALL_WEIRDBROADCAST` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:1364` stores the id; `src/core/gen2/Phone.lua` delivers | implemented |
| `ENGINE_ROCKET_SIGNAL_ON_CH20` radio behaviour | `src/ui/gen2/Pokegear.lua:816-821, 1097` | implemented |
| Driver coverage for this stretch | `tests/drivers/gold_*.lua` - none touches Mahogany, the hideout or Pryce (`gold_icepath_boulder.lua` is the only Mahogany-adjacent one, and it is Ice Path boulders) | **missing** |
The two "missing" rows are the blocking ones: without `BGEVENT_IFNOTSET` the
hideout cannot be completed, and without ice sliding the gym cannot be crossed.
---
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Floor labels in the walkthrough are wrong past the first password.** It says
"go up the stairs at the upper-right part of the floor, then head left on Negative
Floor 2 ... Head up the stairs to Negative Floor 1. Head right and then before you
reach the locked door, your rival will come." The rival coord event
(`8,10`) and Giovanni's office are both on **B3F**, not B1F. The route is
B3F(right) -> B2F(top) -> B3F(left). Verified by flood-filling
`maps/TeamRocketBaseB2F.blk` / `maps/TeamRocketBaseB3F.blk`: the four B2F warps
and four B3F warps sit in disconnected rooms, and B2F warp 2 `(3,2)` reaches
B3F `(3,2)` which is the region containing `8,10`.
- **Boarder Ronald's party order.** Walkthrough lists Seel 24 / Seel 24 / Dewgong 25;
`data/trainers/parties.asm` `BOARDER (1)` is SEEL 24, DEWGONG 25, SEEL 24.
Same three mon, different lead order. Same class of discrepancy for
`GRUNTM_18` (walkthrough Rattata/Rattata/Zubat, asm Rattata/Zubat/Rattata).
- **Item list is incomplete.** The walkthrough's "Items in the Team Rocket Hideout"
block lists six; the asm has ten: the six named plus `FULL_HEAL` and `DIRE_HIT`
item balls on B3F (mentioned later in the prose) and two hidden items the
walkthrough never mentions - `REVIVE` at B1F `(3,11)` and `FULL_HEAL` at B2F
`(26,7)`.
- **"Every time you pass one of those statues, two Team Rocket grunts will fight
you"** is right, but the walkthrough implies only two statues on the first floor.
There are five (`bg_event` at `24,1`, `6,1`, `24,5`, `8,15`, `22,15`) with eight
trigger cells, i.e. up to ten grunt battles if none are skipped.
- **`EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_BASE_POPULATION` is dead.** It is the shared visibility flag
of eleven base NPCs and is read by all eight `SecurityCamera*` scripts, but a
full-tree grep finds no `setevent`, `clearevent` or `disappear` that writes it.
Those `checkevent ... iftrue NoSecurityCamera` arms therefore never take, and the
Rocket NPCs stay on the maps forever - including after the hideout is cleared.
Flagged in case a bot author expects the base to empty out.
- **Lance's three right-hand Electrodes are never battled.** `RocketElectrodeN`
disappears both members of a mirrored pair, and the objects at `22,5`/`22,7`/`22,9`
point at the no-op `ObjectEvent` script. The walkthrough's "Lance runs to the right
to take the Electrodes on the right" is flavour; the game just hides them.
- **Exact reachability of `19,11` (the secret switch)** was checked by collision
(`19,11` is a WALL, `19,12` is FLOOR and in the single B1F region), but the
in-game facing direction for the `BGEVENT_READ` was not observed running - the
bg event type is `BGEVENT_READ`, not `BGEVENT_UP`, so any adjacent facing should
work; worth confirming on hardware if a driver misses it.
- The gym slide table in section 2 was produced by simulating
`engine/overworld/player_movement.asm`'s ice rule against the decoded
`maps/MahoganyGym.blk`, treating NPCs as blockers. It reproduces every direction
string in the walkthrough, but it has not been executed in an emulator.

# Section 15 - Mount Mortar and Dark Cave
Source: `../section-15-mount-mortar-and-dark-cave.txt`
Maps covered: `MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_OUTSIDE`, `MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_INSIDE`,
`MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_2F_INSIDE`, `MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_B1F`,
`MAP_DARK_CAVE_BLACKTHORN_ENTRANCE`, `MAP_DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE`.
Touched in passing (owned by neighbouring sections): `MAP_MAHOGANY_TOWN`,
`MAP_ROUTE_42`, `MAP_BLACKTHORN_CITY`, `MAP_ROUTE_45`, `MAP_ROUTE_31`,
`MAP_ROUTE_46`.
Badges / key milestones in this section: **no badge**. The milestones are
`EVENT_BEAT_BLACKBELT_KIYO` + `EVENT_GOT_TYROGUE_FROM_KIYO` (a free level 10
`TYROGUE`, the only one in the game) and `EVENT_GOT_BLACKGLASSES_IN_DARK_CAVE`.
Everything else here is optional loot. Nothing in this section gates any later
section.
A note on coordinates: every table below is transcribed verbatim from the map's
`_MapEvents` block in the named `maps/*.asm` file. `warp_event`, `coord_event`,
`bg_event` and `object_event` all share one coordinate space (the
`object_event` macro in `macros/scripts/maps.asm` applies the +4 border offset
itself), so the numbers are directly comparable. A map declared
`map_const NAME, W, H` spans x in `0 .. 2W-1` and y in `0 .. 2H-1`.
A note on the `event flag` column of `object_event`:
`engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm` `CheckObjectFlag` **hides** the object when
the flag is set, and `-1` means always visible. So for a Poke Ball, "flag set =
already taken = gone".
A note on darkness: all six maps in this section are `PALETTE_DARK` in
`data/maps/maps.asm`. `engine/tilesets/timeofday_pals.asm`
`ReplaceTimeOfDayPals` (`23:43e9`) sends `PALETTE_DARK` down `.NeedsFlash`,
which writes `DARKNESS_PALSET` unless `STATUSFLAGS_FLASH_F` is set in
`wStatusFlags`. That bit is set by `BlindingFlash` (`engine/events/field_moves.asm`)
and cleared by `ResetFlashIfOutOfCave` (`home/flag.asm`, `00:2f1d`) on any map
whose `wEnvironment` is `ROUTE` or `TOWN`. **A bot must re-cast Flash every time
it re-enters, including after every Fly.**

## 1. Route order
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `MAP_MAHOGANY_TOWN` | `data/maps/maps.asm:74`, `data/maps/spawn_points.asm` `spawn MAHOGANY_TOWN, 15, 14` | Fly (`ENGINE_FLYPOINT_MAHOGANY`) | west map connection -> `ROUTE_42` | heal, buy Max Repels / Escape Ropes, drop to 5 party members so Tyrogue fits |
| 2 | `MAP_ROUTE_42` | `maps/Route42.asm` | east connection from Mahogany, or warps 1/2 at (0,8)/(0,9) from the Ecruteak gate | warp 3 (10,5) west entrance, warp 4 (28,9) middle entrance, warp 5 (46,7) east entrance -> `MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_OUTSIDE` warps 1/2/3 | "three cave entrances to Mt. Mortar" |
| 3 | `MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_OUTSIDE` | `maps/MountMortar1FOutside.asm` | warps 1/2/3 at (3,33)/(17,33)/(37,33) | warp 4 (17,5) -> 2F after Waterfall; warp 7 (17,29) -> B1F | all three Route 42 doors land on this one map; the Surf lake and the waterfall live here |
| 4 | `MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_INSIDE` | `maps/MountMortar1FInside.asm` | 1F Outside warps 5/6 (11,21)/(29,21) or 8/9 (7,13)/(33,13) | warp 5 (3,19) -> B1F; warp 6 (9,9) -> 2F | the "giant room" with the Strength boulder, Escape Rope and Hyper Potion |
| 5 | `MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_2F_INSIDE` | `maps/MountMortar2FInside.asm` | warp 1 (17,33) from 1F Outside warp 4 (top of the waterfall) | warp 2 (3,5) -> `MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_INSIDE` warp 6 | Rare Candy, Max Potion, TM40, Dragon Scale, Elixer, Escape Rope, hidden Full Restore |
| 6 | `MAP_MOUNT_MORTAR_B1F` | `maps/MountMortarB1F.asm` | warp 1 (3,3) from 1F Inside warp 5 | Escape Rope, or Strength the boulder at (9,10) and take warp 2 (19,29) -> 1F Outside warp 7 | **Blackbelt Kiyo, then the free Tyrogue** |
| 7 | `MAP_BLACKTHORN_CITY` | `data/maps/maps.asm:187`, `data/maps/spawn_points.asm` `spawn BLACKTHORN_CITY, 21, 30` | Fly (`ENGINE_FLYPOINT_BLACKTHORN`) | south map connection (`data/maps/attributes.asm:161` `connection south, Route45, ROUTE_45, 0`) | heal, then head south |
| 8 | `MAP_ROUTE_45` | `maps/Route45.asm` | north connection from Blackthorn | warp 1 (2,5) -> `DARK_CAVE_BLACKTHORN_ENTRANCE` warp 1 | "enter the Dark Cave to the left before there are even any jumps" |
| 9 | `MAP_DARK_CAVE_BLACKTHORN_ENTRANCE` | `maps/DarkCaveBlackthornEntrance.asm` | warp 1 (23,3) | warp 2 (3,25) -> `DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE` warp 2 | Blackglasses NPC, Revive, TM13 Snore, Wobbuffet |
| 10 | `MAP_DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE` | `maps/DarkCaveVioletEntrance.asm` | warp 2 (17,1) | warp 1 (3,15) -> `ROUTE_31` warp 3 | "surf down, rock smash the rock, grab the Potion, head out onto Route 31" |
| 11 | `MAP_ROUTE_31` | `maps/Route31.asm` | warp 3 (34,5) | Fly back to Blackthorn | walkthrough exit |
Spill into the next section: the walkthrough's video links name Blackthorn Gym,
Route 45/46, Tohjo Falls, Routes 26/27, Victory Road and the Elite Four, but its
**prose** stops at "head back south to actually take Route 45". `MAP_ROUTE_45`
proper, `MAP_ROUTE_46`, `MAP_BLACKTHORN_GYM` and everything past them belong to
the next section; only the Route 45 warp that reaches Dark Cave is documented
here.
`MAP_DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE` is also reachable from `ROUTE_46` warp 3 at
(14,5) (-> Dark Cave warp 3 at (35,33)) and from `ROUTE_31` warp 3; the earlier
sections that visit Route 31 already touch the north end of this map. This
section only walks it top-to-bottom-left, from the Blackthorn side out to
Route 31.

`MountMortarB1FKiyoScript` (`46:5eec`) - the whole point of this section. Note
it is `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, **not** `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`: Kiyo has no `trainer`
header, no sight range, and never walks up to you. He must be talked to.

```
Bot-relevant control flow:
- The battle is unconditional on first talk (no `checkevent` guard before
`loadtrainer`), and the win-flag write is **after** `startbattle`, so a
blackout means the whole script re-runs from the top.
- `readvar VAR_PARTYCOUNT` / `ifequal PARTY_LENGTH` is the "you have no room"
branch. `PARTY_LENGTH` is 6. **If the party is full, `EVENT_BEAT_BLACKBELT_KIYO`
is already set but `EVENT_GOT_TYROGUE_FROM_KIYO` is not**, so re-talking
re-enters at `.BeatKiyo` and offers the Tyrogue again. This is why the
walkthrough tells you to free a slot in advance - but it is recoverable, not
missable.
- `givepoke TYROGUE, 10` - level 10, no held item, no nickname prompt in this
form of the opcode.
`MountMortarB1FBoulder` - `jumpstd StrengthBoulderScript`, same as 1F Inside.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_BEAT_BLACKBELT_KIYO` | `constants/event_flags.asm:684` | set by `MountMortarB1FKiyoScript` after `startbattle` | Kiyo will not fight again |
| `EVENT_GOT_TYROGUE_FROM_KIYO` | `constants/event_flags.asm:106` | set by `MountMortarB1FKiyoScript` after `givepoke` | the Tyrogue is banked; the script becomes pure flavour |
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `KIYO` (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:500`) | `BLACKBELT_T` | 6th entry of `BlackbeltGroup` | `data/trainers/parties.asm:2455` `; BLACKBELT_T (6)` `db "KIYO@", TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL` / `db 34, HITMONLEE` / `db 34, HITMONCHAN` | `MountMortarB1FKiyoScript` | none - no `trainer` header, so no phone number, no rematch |
`TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL` means **no custom moves and no held items**: both mons use
their level-34 learnset defaults. The walkthrough's "816G" prize and the
1012/1020 EXP figures were not verified against `data/trainers/attributes.asm` -

`TM_SNORE` is **TM13** by the `add_tm` ordering in
`constants/item_constants.asm:233`, which matches the walkthrough's "TM 13".
**Scripts of interest**
`DarkCaveBlackthornEntrancePharmacistScript` (`47:436c`):
```
faceplayer
opentext

setevent EVENT_GOT_BLACKGLASSES_IN_DARK_CAVE

writetext DarkCaveBlackthornEntrancePharmacistText2
waitbutton

end
```
Bot-relevant: `verbosegiveitem` returns 0 when the pack is full, and the
`setevent` is **after** the give, so a full item pocket leaves the flag clear
and the NPC re-offers. Not missable. The NPC spins
(`SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_SLOW`), so the bot must stand adjacent and press A;
`faceplayer` handles the turn.

Note the four rocks all share one script label; the smash `disappear LAST_TALKED`

despite the shared pointer. Rocks have **no event flag** (`-1`) - they come back
on every map reload.

(`wScriptVar = 1` when the party does NOT know ROCK SMASH); on 0 it prompts
yes/no and falls into `RockSmashScript` (`03:4f35`):

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darkness on all six maps | `engine/tilesets/timeofday_pals.asm` `ReplaceTimeOfDayPals` (`23:43e9`) `.NeedsFlash` -> `DARKNESS_PALSET`, because `data/maps/maps.asm` lines 127-130 / 148-149 all say `PALETTE_DARK` | FLASH cast, i.e. `STATUSFLAGS_FLASH_F` set in `wStatusFlags` | `engine/events/overworld.asm` `FlashFunction.CheckUseFlash` (`03:48f1`): `ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE` **and** `wTimeOfDayPalset == DARKNESS_PALSET`. The bit is cleared by `home/flag.asm` `ResetFlashIfOutOfCave` (`00:2f1d`) on any `ROUTE`/`TOWN` map, so **re-cast after every exit and every Fly** |
| Mt. Mortar middle entrance (`ROUTE_42` warp 4 at (28,9)) | terrain: the tile is across water on Route 42 | SURF | `engine/events/overworld.asm` `SurfFunction` (`03:493b`), `.TrySurf` arm / `TrySurfOW` (`03:4a06`): `ENGINE_FOGBADGE` + a party member knowing SURF |
| The lake and the waterfall between 1F Outside and 2F | terrain on `MountMortar1FOutside.blk`; the only route to warp 4 at (17,5) | SURF, then WATERFALL | `WaterfallFunction.TryWaterfall` (`03:4af6`) / `TryWaterfallOW` (`03:4b5f`): `ENGINE_RISINGBADGE`, then `CheckMapCanWaterfall` - **player must be facing UP and the tile ABOVE (`wTileUp`) must be a waterfall tile** |
| `MOUNTMORTAR1FINSIDE_BOULDER` at (21,43) | `MountMortar1FBoulder` -> `jumpstd StrengthBoulderScript` -> `AskStrengthScript` (`03:4d4e`) | STRENGTH toggled on | `TryStrengthOW` (`03:4d7b`): party knows STRENGTH **and** `ENGINE_PLAINBADGE` **and** `BIKEFLAGS_STRENGTH_ACTIVE_F` set. `StrengthFunction.TryStrength` (`03:4cf1`) only checks the badge. Note `ResetBikeFlags` clears the active bit on **every map load** - Strength must be re-activated per floor |
| `MOUNTMORTARB1F_BOULDER` at (9,10) | `MountMortarB1FBoulder`, same std script | STRENGTH | as above. This is the walkthrough's "move the rock with HM Strength to get out"; the alternative is an Escape Rope |
| Kiyo's Tyrogue | `MountMortarB1FKiyoScript` `readvar VAR_PARTYCOUNT` / `ifequal PARTY_LENGTH, .NoRoom` | 5 or fewer party members | free a slot and re-talk; `EVENT_BEAT_BLACKBELT_KIYO` stays set so the battle is not repeated |
| Dark Cave water crossings (both entrances) | terrain | SURF | `ENGINE_FOGBADGE` as above |
| `DARKCAVEVIOLETENTRANCE_ROCK1..4` | `DarkCaveVioletEntranceRock` -> `jumpstd SmashRockScript` -> `AskRockSmashScript` (`03:4f60`) | a party member knowing ROCK SMASH (TM08) | `HasRockSmash` (`03:4f7f`) - **no badge check at all** for Rock Smash |
| Fly between Mahogany and Blackthorn | `engine/events/overworld.asm:545` (the `.TryFly` arm of the Fly jumptable) `ld de, ENGINE_STORMBADGE` | `ENGINE_STORMBADGE` + the destination's `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_*` (`constants/engine_flags.asm:87`, `:89`) | both flypoints are set by visiting the towns in earlier sections |
Badge constants used above: `ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE` (`constants/engine_flags.asm:38`),
`ENGINE_PLAINBADGE` (`:40`), `ENGINE_FOGBADGE` (`:41`), `ENGINE_STORMBADGE`
(`:43`), `ENGINE_RISINGBADGE` (`:45`). All are checked through
`engine/events/overworld.asm` `CheckBadge` (line 50), which prints
"Badge required" and returns carry.
**Nothing in this section gates anything else.** Both Mt. Mortar and Dark Cave
are entirely optional; a bot that skips them loses only items, the Tyrogue and
the Blackglasses.

wants them: `DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE` objects at (36,22) FULL_HEAL and (35,9)
HYPER_POTION plus the hidden ELIXER bg at (26,3) - all three sit on the
north-east lobe of the map that the earlier Route 31 section already reaches.

---
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
1. **The walkthrough's Mt. Mortar item list is the HGSS list, not the GS list.**
It names Carbos, Escape Rope x2, Full Restore, Hyper Potion x2, Max Ether,
Max Potion, Max Revive, PP Up, Rare Candy, Dragon Scale and "TM40 Aerial
Ace". What is actually in `maps/MountMortar*.asm` is: ETHER, GUARD_SPEC,
hidden HYPER_POTION (1F Outside); ESCAPE_ROPE, MAX_REVIVE, HYPER_POTION,
hidden MAX_REPEL (1F Inside); MAX_POTION, RARE_CANDY, TM_DEFENSE_CURL,
DRAGON_SCALE, ELIXER, ESCAPE_ROPE, hidden FULL_RESTORE (2F Inside);
HYPER_POTION, FULL_HEAL, hidden MAX_REVIVE (B1F). **No CARBOS, no PP_UP, no
MAX_ETHER, no IRON anywhere in Mt. Mortar.** TM40 is the right *number* but
the move is DEFENSE_CURL (`constants/item_constants.asm:261`); Aerial Ace is
a Gen 3 move that does not exist in this disassembly.
2. **"grab the free Iron on the cliff" (1F Inside, after coming down from 2F).**
There is no IRON object on any Mt. Mortar map. The nearest items to warp 6 at
(9,9) are the MAX_REVIVE ball at (16,10) and the hidden MAX_REPEL bg event at
(31,9). Treat "Iron" as an HGSS-only pickup.
3. **"surf clockwise around and reach a Hyper Potion and a Max Ether."** There is
no MAX_ETHER in Mt. Mortar. If the intended floor is B1F (the ladder from the
central entrance) the pair is HYPER_POTION (31,17) + FULL_HEAL (4,16); if 2F,
the closest analogue is ELIXER (8,9). Which one the author meant could not be
determined from the asm.
4. **Kiyo's prize money and EXP yields.** The walkthrough gives 816G and
1012/1020 EXP. `data/trainers/parties.asm` only carries the class, name, type
byte and party; the money formula lives in the battle engine's
`data/trainers/attributes.asm` base-money table times level, which was not
opened for this document. The party itself is verified: L34 HITMONLEE, L34
HITMONCHAN, `TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL` (default moves, no held items).
5. **"a giant room where you can zig zag around ... and get two items, to include
a Hyper Potion and Escape Rope."** `MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_INSIDE` actually holds
*three* balls (ESCAPE_ROPE (33,22), MAX_REVIVE (16,10), HYPER_POTION (12,21))
plus a hidden MAX_REPEL - but MAX_REVIVE and the hidden item sit on the
section of the map only reachable from 2F, which is presumably why the
walkthrough counts two.
6. **"The west entrance and east entrance lead to each other."** All three Route
42 doors land on the same map, `MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_OUTSIDE`; the west/east link
runs through `MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_INSIDE` via warp pairs 5/6 (at y=21) and 8/9
(at y=13). The blk files were not decoded, so the exact walkable path between
any two of these warps is not verified here - only the warp graph is.
7. **Dark Cave Pokemon list.** The walkthrough lists Zubat, Golbat, Geodude,
Graveler, Magikarp and Wobbuffet - that is the `DARK_CAVE_BLACKTHORN_ENTRANCE`
table exactly. It omits DUNSPARCE, which is slot 7 of
`DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE` and is on the map the route exits through.
8. **Dark Cave item list.** The walkthrough lists Blackglasses, Full Heal, Hyper
Potion, Revive and TM13. The Full Heal (36,22) and Hyper Potion (35,9) are on
`DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE`'s north-east lobe, which this route does not pass
through; the hidden ELIXER at (26,3) is not mentioned at all. The POTION at
(6,8) is named in the prose but missing from the list.
9. **The Shuckle/Krabby rock-smash table** (`data/wild/treemon_maps.asm:46`,
`data/wild/treemons.asm:91`) is real and reachable at
`DARK_CAVE_VIOLET_ENTRANCE`, but the walkthrough never mentions it. Worth
flagging to a bot author as a cheap Shuckle source.
10. **`MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_OUTSIDE` object 2 flag naming.** The item is
`GUARD_SPEC` but the event flag is `EVENT_MOUNT_MORTAR_1F_OUTSIDE_REVIVE`
(`constants/event_flags.asm:1053`). Verbatim from the disassembly; not a
transcription error here, but it will look like one to anyone grepping by
item name.
11. **Mahogany Town and Blackthorn City interiors** (Poke Center, Mart, gym) were
not opened for this document - only their `data/maps/maps.asm` header rows
and `data/maps/spawn_points.asm` entries. Those maps belong to neighbouring
sections.

# Section 17 - Victory Road
Source: `../section-17-victory-road.txt` (the FAQ numbers this chapter "23 > Victory Road")
Maps covered: `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD`, `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD_GATE` (entry gate, badge check)
Badges / key milestones in this section: no badge. Milestones are the fifth and
final `RIVAL1` battle (`EVENT_RIVAL_VICTORY_ROAD`), TM26 Earthquake, and the
north exit onto Route 23 / Indigo Plateau.
Important structural fact the walkthrough hides: **Gold/Silver Victory Road is a
single 10x36-block map**, not three floors. What the FAQ calls "first / second /
third floor" are three vertically stacked regions of the same map joined by
`warp_event` rows whose destination map is `VICTORY_ROAD` itself. Every "ladder"
and the "hole" are self-warps inside `maps/VictoryRoad.asm`.
## 1. Route order
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD_GATE` | `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm` | gate warps 3/4 at (9,17)/(10,17), arriving from Route 26 (`maps/Route26.asm:397` warps to `VICTORY_ROAD_GATE, 3`) | gate warps 5/6 at (9,0)/(10,0) -> `VICTORY_ROAD` warp 1 | 8-badge check at coord event (10,11); belongs to the previous section but is the only door in |
| 1 | `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD` (entrance region, y 48..71) | `maps/VictoryRoad.asm` | warp 1 at (9,67) | warp 2, the ladder at (1,49) | "Head up the stairway and up the cliff"; Full Heal (15,48) and Max Revive (12,48) sit here, plus the hidden Full Heal at (3,65) |
| 2 | `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD` (mid region, y 32..43) | same | warp 3 at (1,35) | warp 4, the ladder at (13,31) | "second floor" - X Special at (7,38), then "up along the path ... another ladder" |
| 3 | `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD` (top region, y 5..21) | same | warp 5 at (13,17) | warp 7, the ladder at (17,19) | "Save when you get to the third floor. Go up the cliff to your left, go down the ladder" |

| 9 | `MAP_ROUTE_23` | `maps/Route23.asm` | warp 3 at (9,13) | - | **next section** (Indigo Plateau / Pokemon League). `Route23FlypointCallback` sets `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_INDIGO_PLATEAU` on arrival. Stop here. |
## 2. Maps
### MAP_VICTORY_ROAD
- Script: `maps/VictoryRoad.asm` (included from `data/maps/scripts.asm:24`)
- Blocks: `maps/VictoryRoad.blk` (360 bytes; `data/maps/blocks.asm:962`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:160`
`map VictoryRoad, TILESET_CAVE, CAVE, LANDMARK_VICTORY_ROAD, MUSIC_VICTORY_ROAD, TRUE, PALETTE_NITE, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
(per the `map` macro at the head of `data/maps/maps.asm`: tileset, environment,
location, music, phone-service flag TRUE = phone calls suppressed, time-of-day
palette, fishing group.)
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:494` `map_attributes VictoryRoad, VICTORY_ROAD, $1d` - border block `$1d`, and **no `connection` rows follow**, so the map has no overworld connections.
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:147` `map_const VICTORY_ROAD, 10, 36` -> 10x36 blocks = **20x72 walk cells**. Group `DUNGEONS` (group 3), map id 82.
- Scene variable: `data/maps/scenes.asm:60` `scene_var VICTORY_ROAD, wVictoryRoadSceneID` (sym `01:d6eb`)
- Callbacks: `def_callbacks` is empty - no `MAPCALLBACK_*` for this map.
- Connections: none.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`, transcribed from `maps/VictoryRoad.asm:242-252`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | 67 | `VICTORY_ROAD_GATE` | 5 |
| 2 | 1 | 49 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 3 |
| 3 | 1 | 35 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 2 |
| 4 | 13 | 31 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 5 |
| 5 | 13 | 17 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 4 |
| 6 | 17 | 33 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 7 |
| 7 | 17 | 19 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 6 |
| 8 | 0 | 11 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 9 |
| 9 | 0 | 27 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 8 |
| 10 | 13 | 5 | `ROUTE_23` | 3 |
Self-warp pairs, as a bot should read them: 2<->3, 4<->5, 6<->7, 8->9.
Warp 8's tile is `COLL_PIT` and warp 9's tile is plain `COLL_FLOOR`, so **warp 9
never fires**: the hole at (0,11) is one-way down to (0,27). (Tile kinds verified
below.)
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`, `maps/VictoryRoad.asm:254-256`)
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_VICTORYROAD_RIVAL_BATTLE` (0) | 12 | 8 | `VictoryRoadRivalLeft` (sym `42:59ba`) | rival is teleported to (18,11), walks LEFTx6 + UPx2 to (12,9), battle, then leaves DOWNx2 + RIGHTx6 |
| `SCENE_VICTORYROAD_RIVAL_BATTLE` (0) | 13 | 8 | `VictoryRoadRivalRight` (sym `42:59dd`) | rival walks from (18,13) UPx2 + LEFTx5 + UPx2 to (13,9), battle, then leaves DOWNx2 + RIGHTx5 + DOWNx2 |
These two tiles are the entire width of the corridor that leads to the exit
(y=8 is walkable only at x=6,7 and x=12,13), so the ambush is unavoidable.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`, `maps/VictoryRoad.asm:258-260`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 29 | `BGEVENT_ITEM` | `VictoryRoadHiddenMaxPotion` = `hiddenitem MAX_POTION, EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_MAX_POTION` |
| 3 | 65 | `BGEVENT_ITEM` | `VictoryRoadHiddenFullHeal` = `hiddenitem FULL_HEAL, EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL` |
Both target tiles are `COLL_WALL`, i.e. the player stands next to them and
presses A into the wall. (3,29) is faced from (2,29), (4,29) or (3,28);
(3,65) is faced from (2,65), (4,65), (3,64) or (3,66).
**Object events** (`def_object_events`, `maps/VictoryRoad.asm:262-268`)
Column order follows the `object_event` macro in `macros/scripts/maps.asm:113`:
x, y, sprite, movement, radius x, radius y, hour1, hour2, palette, type, sight,
script, event flag.
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `VICTORYROAD_RIVAL` | `SPRITE_RIVAL` | 18 | 13 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `ObjectEvent` (shared ROM0 stub, sym `00:2812`) | `EVENT_RIVAL_VICTORY_ROAD` |
| `VICTORYROAD_POKE_BALL1` | `SPRITE_POKE_BALL` | 3 | 28 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` | `VictoryRoadTMEarthquake` = `itemball TM_EARTHQUAKE` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_TM_EARTHQUAKE` |
| `VICTORYROAD_POKE_BALL2` | `SPRITE_POKE_BALL` | 12 | 48 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` | `VictoryRoadMaxRevive` = `itemball MAX_REVIVE` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_MAX_REVIVE` |
| `VICTORYROAD_POKE_BALL3` | `SPRITE_POKE_BALL` | 18 | 29 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` | `VictoryRoadFullRestore` = `itemball FULL_RESTORE` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_RESTORE` |
| `VICTORYROAD_POKE_BALL4` | `SPRITE_POKE_BALL` | 15 | 48 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` | `VictoryRoadFullHeal` = `itemball FULL_HEAL` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_HEAL` |
| `VICTORYROAD_POKE_BALL5` | `SPRITE_POKE_BALL` | 7 | 38 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STILL` | `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` | `VictoryRoadXSpecial` = `itemball X_SPECIAL` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_X_SPECIAL` |
All rows use radius 0,0, hours -1,-1 (always present), palette 0, sight 0.
Object-flag polarity (this bites bot authors): `CheckObjectFlag` in
`engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm:32` masks an object when its event flag is
**set**, and shows it when the flag is clear or is `-1`. `Script_appear` clears
the flag, `Script_disappear` sets it (`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:879-897`).
`InitializeEventsScript` in `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:521` sets
`EVENT_RIVAL_VICTORY_ROAD` at new game, so the rival object starts hidden and is
only revealed by the `appear` inside the ambush script.
**Derived collision map** (not verbatim asm - built by decoding
`maps/VictoryRoad.blk` through `data/tilesets/cave_collision.asm` and
`data/collision/collision_permissions.asm`, with the quadrant index
`(x & 1) + 2 * (y & 1)` taken from `GetCoordTileCollision` in
`home/map.asm:2065`). It is included because Victory Road is the one map in this
section where "which tile can I stand on" is the whole problem.
Verification: all ten `warp_event` tiles land on the expected collision
(`WARP_CARPET_DOWN`, six `LADDER`, `PIT`, `FLOOR`, `CAVE`) and all six
`object_event` tiles land on walkable tiles, so the decode is aligned.
Legend: `.` floor, `#` wall (impassable), `^` `COLL_UP_WALL` (walkable, but you
cannot step *down* into it and cannot step *up* off it), `L` ladder, `P` pit,
`C` cave exit, `W` warp carpet (needs a DOWN press), `<` `HOP_LEFT`,
`>` `HOP_RIGHT`, `v` `HOP_DOWN` (all three are walkable land; pressing the
matching direction while standing on one jumps two tiles - see `.TryJump` and
`.ledge_table` in `engine/overworld/player_movement.asm:354-391`, which reads the
tile the player is **standing on**, not the tile ahead).

One-way transitions a bot must respect (all derived from the grid above):
- (0,11) `PIT` -> (0,27). No route back up from (0,27); the return is a ledge.
- (8,28) or (8,29) `HOP_RIGHT` + RIGHT -> (10,28) / (10,29), which reaches the (13,31) ladder. This is the short way out of the TM pocket.
- (2,30) or (3,30) `HOP_DOWN` + DOWN -> (2,32) / (3,32), which drops into the pocket that holds the (1,35) ladder. This is the long way out of the TM pocket.
- (16..19, 34) `HOP_DOWN` + DOWN -> (16..19, 36). This is the only exit from the Full Restore shelf, and it is why the FAQ says "jump down".
- (8,20) or (8,21) `HOP_RIGHT` + RIGHT -> (10,20) / (10,21) in the top region.
- Rows of `^` (`COLL_UP_WALL`) are walkable dead strips: you may enter them from the side or from below and leave sideways or downward, never upward, and you can never step down onto one.
**Scripts of interest**
- `VictoryRoadRivalLeft` (`maps/VictoryRoad.asm:22`, sym `42:59ba`)
`moveobject VICTORYROAD_RIVAL, 18, 11` / `turnobject PLAYER, DOWN` /
`showemote EMOTE_SHOCK, PLAYER, 15` / `special FadeOutMusic` / `pause 15` /

`disappear VICTORYROAD_RIVAL` / `setscene SCENE_VICTORYROAD_NOOP` /
`playmapmusic` / `end`.
- `VictoryRoadRivalRight` (`maps/VictoryRoad.asm:37`, sym `42:59dd`) - identical
except there is no `moveobject` (he starts at his object_event position 18,13),
the approach is `VictoryRoadRivalBattleApproachMovement2` (UP x2, LEFT x5,
UP x2) and the exit is `VictoryRoadRivalBattleExitMovement2` (DOWN x2,
RIGHT x5, DOWN x2).
- `VictoryRoadRivalNext` (`maps/VictoryRoad.asm:51`, sym `42:59fc`) - the shared
body. `turnobject PLAYER, DOWN`, `playmusic MUSIC_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER`, text
`VictoryRoadRivalBeforeText`, then `setevent EVENT_RIVAL_VICTORY_ROAD`
(**before** the battle, so a reset or blackout mid-battle still leaves the
object hidden), then a three-way starter branch:
- `checkevent EVENT_GOT_TOTODILE_FROM_ELM` -> `.GotTotodile` -> `loadtrainer RIVAL1, RIVAL1_5_CHIKORITA`
- `checkevent EVENT_GOT_CHIKORITA_FROM_ELM` -> `.GotChikorita` -> `loadtrainer RIVAL1, RIVAL1_5_CYNDAQUIL`
- fall-through (player picked Cyndaquil) -> `loadtrainer RIVAL1, RIVAL1_5_TOTODILE`
Each arm runs `winlosstext VictoryRoadRivalDefeatText, VictoryRoadRivalVictoryText`,
`setlasttalked VICTORYROAD_RIVAL`, `startbattle`, `dontrestartmapmusic`,
`reloadmapafterbattle`, then `.AfterBattle`: `playmusic MUSIC_RIVAL_AFTER` and
`VictoryRoadRivalAfterText`.
- `VictoryRoadTMEarthquake` / `MaxRevive` / `FullRestore` / `FullHeal` /
`XSpecial` (`maps/VictoryRoad.asm:97-110`) - each is a bare
`itemball <ITEM>` (two bytes: item, quantity 1; `macros/scripts/maps.asm:155`),
not bytecode. Do not try to disassemble them.
- `VictoryRoadHiddenMaxPotion` / `VictoryRoadHiddenFullHeal`
(`maps/VictoryRoad.asm:112-116`) - `hiddenitem item, flag`, three bytes laid
down as `dwb flag, item` (`macros/scripts/maps.asm:165`).
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_RIVAL_VICTORY_ROAD` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1124` | set by `InitializeEventsScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:521`) and again by `VictoryRoadRivalNext`; cleared by the `appear` in the ambush scripts | set = rival object masked. Postcondition of the ambush. |
| `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_TM_EARTHQUAKE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1092` | itemball object flag | set once TM26 is taken |
| `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_MAX_REVIVE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1093` | itemball object flag | set once Max Revive is taken |
| `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_RESTORE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1094` | itemball object flag | set once Full Restore is taken |
| `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_HEAL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1095` | itemball object flag | set once Full Heal is taken |
| `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_X_SPECIAL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1096` | itemball object flag | set once X Special is taken |
| `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_MAX_POTION` | `constants/event_flags.asm:168` | `hiddenitem` operand at bg (3,29) | set once dug up |
| `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:169` | `hiddenitem` operand at bg (3,65) | set once dug up |
| `EVENT_GOT_TOTODILE_FROM_ELM` (`:37`), `EVENT_GOT_CHIKORITA_FROM_ELM` (`:38`) | `constants/event_flags.asm` | read by `VictoryRoadRivalNext` | selects which of the three rival parties loads. `EVENT_GOT_CYNDAQUIL_FROM_ELM` (`:36`) is never read here; Cyndaquil is the fall-through case |
| `SCENE_VICTORYROAD_RIVAL_BATTLE` = 0 | defined inline by the `scene_script` macro (`macros/scripts/maps.asm:25`, `const_def` starting at 0) via `maps/VictoryRoad.asm:11` | compared by both coord events | the scene the map starts a new game on |
| `SCENE_VICTORYROAD_NOOP` = 1 | same, `maps/VictoryRoad.asm:12` | written by `setscene` at the end of both ambush scripts | rival ambush disarmed |
Both scene scripts (`VictoryRoadNoop1Scene`, `VictoryRoadNoop2Scene`) are a bare
`end`; the scene id only gates the coord events.
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `TM_EARTHQUAKE` (TM26 - counted off the `add_tm` list in `constants/item_constants.asm:218-246`) | Poke Ball at (3,28), only reachable through the pit at (0,11) | `VictoryRoadTMEarthquake` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_TM_EARTHQUAKE` |
| `MAX_REVIVE` | Poke Ball at (12,48) | `VictoryRoadMaxRevive` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_MAX_REVIVE` |
| `FULL_RESTORE` | Poke Ball at (18,29), reached by ladder warp 7 -> (17,33) then north | `VictoryRoadFullRestore` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_RESTORE` |
| `FULL_HEAL` | Poke Ball at (15,48) | `VictoryRoadFullHeal` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_HEAL` |
| `X_SPECIAL` | Poke Ball at (7,38), standing on the `HOP_LEFT` column; walk north from (7,42) | `VictoryRoadXSpecial` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_X_SPECIAL` |
| `MAX_POTION` | hidden, face the wall at (3,29) | `bg_event 3, 29, BGEVENT_ITEM` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_MAX_POTION` |
| `FULL_HEAL` (second one) | hidden, face the wall at (3,65) | `bg_event 3, 65, BGEVENT_ITEM` | `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL` |
**Trainers**
There are no `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER` objects on this map. The single battle is a
scripted `loadtrainer` with no `EVENT_BEAT_*` flag of its own.
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `RIVAL1_5_CHIKORITA` | `RIVAL1` (trainer class 9, `constants/trainer_constants.asm:51`) | 13th member of the class | `Rival1Group` "RIVAL1 (13)" (`data/trainers/parties.asm:164`, sym `0e:5a92` for the group) | `VictoryRoadRivalNext.GotTotodile` (sym `42:5a27`) | none |
| `RIVAL1_5_CYNDAQUIL` | `RIVAL1` | 14th | `Rival1Group` "RIVAL1 (14)" (`data/trainers/parties.asm:174`) | `VictoryRoadRivalNext.GotChikorita` (sym `42:5a37`) | none |
| `RIVAL1_5_TOTODILE` | `RIVAL1` | 15th | `Rival1Group` "RIVAL1 (15)" (`data/trainers/parties.asm:184`) | fall-through arm of `VictoryRoadRivalNext` | none |

Note the send-out order: Sneasel, Golbat, Magneton, Haunter, Kadabra, starter.
The FAQ lists the starter fourth; the asm puts it last.
**Wild encounters**
`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:144` `def_grass_wildmons VICTORY_ROAD` (Victory Road
lives in the Kanto grass table even though it is Johto-side).
Encounter rates: `db 6 percent, 6 percent, 6 percent` (morn / day / nite - all
equal). Slot weights come from `GrassMonProbTable`
(`data/wild/probabilities.asm:6`): 30 / 30 / 20 / 10 / 5 / 4 / 1 percent.
Gold (`IF DEF(_GOLD)`), identical for morn, day and nite:
| slot | % | level | species |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 | 32 | `GRAVELER` |
| 2 | 30 | 32 | `GOLBAT` |
| 3 | 20 | 33 | `URSARING` |
| 4 | 10 | 34 | `ONIX` |
| 5 | 5 | 36 | `ONIX` |
| 6 | 4 | 35 | `RHYHORN` |
| 7 | 1 | 35 | `RHYHORN` |
Silver (`ELIF DEF(_SILVER)`) is the same table with slot 3 replaced by
`db 33, DONPHAN`.
No water, fishing, headbutt or rock-smash data: there is no `VICTORY_ROAD` row in
`data/wild/kanto_water.asm`, `data/wild/johto_water.asm`, `data/wild/fish.asm` or
`data/wild/treemons.asm`, and the decoded collision map contains no water tiles.
The `FISHGROUP_SHORE` in the header is therefore unreachable. No roamer either
(`VICTORY_ROAD` is absent from `data/wild/roammon_maps.asm`).
### MAP_VICTORY_ROAD_GATE
Included here because it is the only entrance and it carries the badge gate. The
NPC beats themselves belong to the previous / later sections.
- Script: `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm` (`data/maps/scripts.asm:452`)
- Blocks: `maps/VictoryRoadGate.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:943`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:467`
`map VictoryRoadGate, TILESET_GATE, GATE, LANDMARK_ROUTE_26, MUSIC_INDIGO_PLATEAU, FALSE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:666`, border block `$00`, no connections.
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:433` `map_const VICTORY_ROAD_GATE, 10, 9` -> 20x18 cells. Group `VIRIDIAN` (group 23), map id 13.
- Scene variable: `data/maps/scenes.asm:16` `scene_var VICTORY_ROAD_GATE, wVictoryRoadGateSceneID` (sym `01:d6bf`)
**Warps** (`maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:101-109`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 17 | 7 | `ROUTE_22` | 1 |

| 7 | 1 | 7 | `ROUTE_28` | 2 |
| 8 | 2 | 7 | `ROUTE_28` | 2 |
Cross-checked from the other side: `maps/Route22.asm:20` warps to
`VICTORY_ROAD_GATE, 1`, `maps/Route26.asm:397` warps to `VICTORY_ROAD_GATE, 3`,
`maps/Route28.asm:21` warps to `VICTORY_ROAD_GATE, 7`.
**Coord events**
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_VICTORYROADGATE_BADGE_CHECK` (0) | 10 | 11 | `VictoryRoadGateBadgeCheckScript` (sym `5f:4fdc`) | turns the player LEFT and falls into `_VictoryRoadGateBadgeCheckScript` |
**BG events**: none.
**Object events** (`maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:116-119`)

Row 11 is walkable only at x=8 (where the officer stands) and x=10, so
**(10,11) is a mandatory chokepoint**: the badge check cannot be walked around.
**Scripts of interest**
- `_VictoryRoadGateBadgeCheckScript` (`maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:25`, sym `5f:4fe3`):
`writetext VictoryRoadGateOfficerText`, `promptbutton`, `readvar VAR_BADGES`,
`ifgreater NUM_JOHTO_BADGES - 1, .AllEightBadges`. On failure it prints
`VictoryRoadGateNotEnoughBadgesText` and `applymovement PLAYER,
VictoryRoadGateStepDownMovement` (one `step DOWN`, pushing the player back
south). On success it prints `VictoryRoadGateEightBadgesText` and
`setscene SCENE_VICTORYROADGATE_NOOP`, permanently disarming the coord event.
- `VictoryRoadGateOfficerScript` (`maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:23`) - `faceplayer`
then the same body, so talking to the officer also opens the gate.
## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry to Victory Road | `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:19` `VictoryRoadGateBadgeCheckScript` / `_VictoryRoadGateBadgeCheckScript` | `readvar VAR_BADGES` then `ifgreater NUM_JOHTO_BADGES - 1` (that is, badge count must be >= 8). `NUM_JOHTO_BADGES` = 8 (`constants/ram_constants.asm:260`). `VAR_BADGES` resolves to `.CountBadges` in `engine/overworld/variables.asm:80`, which is `CountSetBits` over **two** bytes (`wBadges`, b = 2), i.e. Johto **and** Kanto badges together | own all eight Johto badges. The script then sets `SCENE_VICTORYROADGATE_NOOP`, so the check runs at most once |
| Physical block west to Route 28 | `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:118` object `VICTORYROADGATE_BLACK_BELT1` at (7,5), masked when `EVENT_OPENED_MT_SILVER` is set | row 5 is the only east-west corridor in the gate and he stands in it | out of scope here (Mt. Silver, later section) |
| Physical block east to Route 22 | `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:119` object `VICTORYROADGATE_BLACK_BELT2` at (12,5), masked when `EVENT_FOUGHT_SNORLAX` is set | same corridor | out of scope here (Kanto, later section) |
| Rival ambush before the exit | `maps/VictoryRoad.asm:255-256` coord events at (12,8) and (13,8), gated on `SCENE_VICTORYROAD_RIVAL_BATTLE` | those two tiles are the whole corridor to the exit at (13,5) | win the battle; the script then runs `setscene SCENE_VICTORYROAD_NOOP` |
| TM26 Earthquake | geometry only, no flag: (3,28) is inside the y=26..30 pocket whose only entrance is the `COLL_PIT` at (0,11) | reach the top region first (so: beat the ladders, not the rival) | none |
| Full Restore | geometry only: (18,29) is on a shelf whose only entrance is warp 7 (17,19) -> (17,33) | reach the top region | none |
Field moves: **none required**. There is no `COLL_CUT_TREE`, no water, no
strength boulder and no whirlpool anywhere in the decoded map, and the header
palette is `PALETTE_NITE`, not `PALETTE_DARK`, so **Flash is not needed** either.
The FAQ's "no puzzles to solve now" is accurate.
## 4. Bot checklist
Coordinates are map cells `(x, y)` on the named map. "step" means walk onto the
tile; ladders and the pit fire on arrival (`Permissions.isImmediateWarp`
equivalent: `COLL_LADDER` = `$72` and `COLL_PIT` = `$60` are warp collisions),
while the entrance carpet at (9,67) fires on a DOWN press.
1. `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD_GATE`: from the Route 26 door at (9,17)/(10,17) walk north along x=10. Precondition: 8 Johto badges. Step (10,11) -> `VictoryRoadGateBadgeCheckScript` fires. Postcondition: `wVictoryRoadGateSceneID` = `SCENE_VICTORYROADGATE_NOOP`. If badges < 8 the script pushes you one step DOWN and you cannot pass.
2. `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD_GATE`: step (9,0) or (10,0) -> warp to `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD` (9,67).
3. `MAP_VICTORY_ROAD` entrance region. Waypoints that were checked against the
collision map: (9,66) -> west along y=66 to (7,66) -> north x=7 through
y=65,64 to (7,63) -> (7,62) -> east along y=62 to (11,62)/(12,62) -> north
x=11/12 through y=61..55 -> (11,54) -> the long y=53/54 corridor (x=5..16).
4. Max Revive and Full Heal: from the y=53/54 corridor go east to (15,54) ->
(15,55) -> (15,56) -> east along y=56 to (18,56) -> north along x=18 through
y=55,54,53,52 to (18,51) -> west along y=51 to (15,51) -> (15,50) -> (16,50)
-> (16,49) -> (16,48), press A facing LEFT
into (15,48) -> Full Heal (`EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_HEAL`). Then west along
y=50 to (12,50) -> (12,49) -> press A facing UP into (12,48) -> Max Revive
(`EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_MAX_REVIVE`).
5. Optional hidden Full Heal: face the wall at (3,65) from (2,65), (4,65),
(3,64) or (3,66) and press A. Postcondition
`EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL`.
6. Back along the y=53/54 corridor to its west end, (3,53) -> (2,52) -> (2,51)
-> (2,50) -> (1,49); the ladder fires on arrival -> warp 2 -> (1,35).
7. X Special. Verified chain from the ladder landing: (1,35) -> (1,36) -> (1,37)
-> (1,38) -> east along y=38 to (5,38) -> (5,37) -> (5,36) -> east along y=36
to (9,36)/(10,36) -> (9,37)/(10,37) -> (9,38)/(10,38) -> south through
y=39,40 (x=9..16 is open) -> (13,41) -> (13,42) -> west along y=42 to (7,42)
-> north along x=7 (the `HOP_LEFT` column is walkable) through y=41,40,39 to
(7,38). Press A -> X Special. Postcondition `EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_X_SPECIAL`.
Do **not** press LEFT while on that column (it triggers a two-tile jump into
a wall column).
8. To the (13,31) ladder: back to (7,42) -> east along y=42 to (18,42) -> north
along x=18 through y=41,40,39,38 to (18,37) -> west along y=37 then y=36 to
(13,36) -> north (13,35), (13,34), (13,33), (13,32) -> step (13,31) -> warp 4
-> arrive (13,17). Note you cannot climb x=13 straight up from y=41: (13,38)
is `COLL_UP_WALL` and blocks the step up out of it, and the x=11 column walls
off the y=34..36 strip on its west side.
9. Optional Full Restore detour. The verified chain from the ladder to (17,19) is:
(13,17) -> (13,16) -> east along y=16 to (16,16) -> (16,15) -> (16,14) ->
west along y=14 to (9,14)/(10,14) -> south x=9/10 through y=15,16,17 to
(9,18)/(10,18) -> west along y=18 to (5,18) -> (5,17) -> (5,16) -> west along
y=16 to (3,16) -> (3,17) -> (3,18) -> (3,19) -> (3,20) -> east along y=20 to
(8,20) -> **press RIGHT to hop the ledge**, landing (10,20) -> east/north to
(16,19) -> (17,19). On the cart that `HOP_RIGHT` is the only way into the
(17,19) pocket. Step (17,19) -> warp 7 -> arrive (17,33). Walk north along
x=17..19 to (18,29), press A -> Full Restore. Postcondition
`EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_FULL_RESTORE`. Return to y=34 (x=16..19) and press DOWN to
hop the ledge, landing on y=36 - which is already the y=36 corridor, so go
west to (13,36) and north to (13,31), warp 4, back to (13,17).
10. From (13,17): (13,16) -> east along y=16 to (18,16) -> north along x=18
through (18,15), (18,14), (18,13) (the rival's masked object tile), (18,12)
to (18,11) -> west along y=11 to (13,11) -> north (13,10), (13,9) to (13,8).
11. Step (12,8) or (13,8) -> rival ambush. Precondition `wVictoryRoadSceneID` = 0. Battle `RIVAL1` member 13/14/15 depending on the starter events. Postconditions: `EVENT_RIVAL_VICTORY_ROAD` set, `wVictoryRoadSceneID` = `SCENE_VICTORYROAD_NOOP`.
12. TM26 detour. The x=6,7 wall pair on y=10 and the x=5..8 wall run on y=11 mean
you cannot walk straight west; the verified chain is (9,11) -> (9,10) ->
(8,10) -> (8,9) -> west along y=9 to (5,9) -> (5,10) -> west along y=10 to
(0,10) -> (0,11), the `COLL_PIT`, which fires on arrival -> land at (0,27).
Then (0,28) -> east along y=28 to (2,28), press A facing RIGHT into the ball
object at (3,28) -> TM26 Earthquake (`EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_TM_EARTHQUAKE`).
Optionally step to (2,29) and press A facing RIGHT into the wall at (3,29)
-> hidden Max Potion (`EVENT_VICTORY_ROAD_HIDDEN_MAX_POTION`).
13. Leave the pocket: east along y=28 to (7,28) -> step onto (8,28), the
`HOP_RIGHT` tile -> press RIGHT to hop to (10,28) -> (10,29) -> east to
(12,29) -> (12,30) -> (12,31) -> step (13,31) -> warp 4 -> (13,17).
(Alternative, longer: stand on (2,30) or (3,30) and press DOWN, landing at
y=32, which drops you back in the (1,35) ladder pocket and forces a full
re-cross of the middle region via steps 7 and 8.)
14. Repeat step 10 to return to the exit corridor. The coord events no longer fire.
15. Walk (13,7) -> (13,6) -> step (13,5) (`COLL_CAVE`) -> warp 10 -> `MAP_ROUTE_23` (9,13). End of section.
## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map header, dimensions, warps, coord events, bg events, object events for any Gold map | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` (map event reader at lines 785-865, `extractMaps` from 866) | implemented - data driven off the ROM, so `VICTORY_ROAD` needs no hand port |
| `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` item data extraction | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:2968` (`obj.itemball = readItemBall(...)`) | implemented (extraction only) |
| **Picking up a Poke Ball object** (all five Victory Road items) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5257` `World:interact` | **missing** - the A-press path handles trainers, strength boulders, `scriptKey` NPCs, `BGEVENT_READ` signs, `BGEVENT_ITEM` hidden items and the tile-collision field moves. Nothing consumes `obj.itemball`, and an itemball object has no `scriptKey`, so the press falls through |
| Hidden items (`BGEVENT_ITEM`, the two here) | `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua`, used at `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5290` | implemented |
| Ladder / cave / pit warps | `src/world/gen2/Permissions.lua:162` `isWarpCollision` (covers `$60` PIT and the `$7x` block) and `isImmediateWarp` | implemented - the (0,11) hole and all six ladders work |
| Warp carpet needing a direction press (the (9,67) entrance) | `src/world/gen2/Permissions.lua:170` `CARPET_DIR` | implemented |
| Walkability from `CollisionPermissionTable` | `src/world/gen2/Permissions.lua:11` (256-entry table), `src/world/gen2/Map.lua:59` | implemented |
| **Ledge hops** (`COLL_HOP_LEFT/RIGHT/DOWN`, five of them in this map) | - | **missing** - no `$a0..$a7` handling anywhere under `src/world/gen2/`. The tiles are LAND in the port's permission table, so a bot can walk over them freely. Net effect: the one-way ledges become two-way, and the Full Restore shelf / TM pocket exits behave differently from the cart |
| **Directional side walls** (`COLL_UP_WALL`, heavily used here) | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:313` `BLOCKED_BY` | partial - the `$b0..$b7` table exists but is only consulted by `FieldMoves.directionBlocked` for surf/field-move refusals. There is no port equivalent of `GetMovementPermissions` (`home/map.asm:1868`), so `UP_WALL` does not restrict ordinary walking |
| Coord events gated on the map scene | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5007` `World:tryCoordScript`, scene storage at `World.lua:740` / `World:scene` at 1161 | implemented |
| Scene scripts / `setscene` persistence across save | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:558-584`, `src/core/gen2/Save.lua` | implemented |
| Rival ambush opcodes (`moveobject`, `turnobject`, `showemote`, `appear`, `disappear`, `applymovement`, `scall`, `setscene`, `playmapmusic`, `playmusic`, `winlosstext`, `setlasttalked`, `loadtrainer`, `startbattle`, `dontrestartmapmusic`, `reloadmapafterbattle`) | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua` (table), `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` (`moveobject` 337, `showemote` 961, `loadtrainer` 806, `winlosstext` 918, `reloadmapafterbattle` 886) | implemented |
| `special FadeOutMusic` | `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:1066` | implemented |
| `VAR_BADGES` (the gate check) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:1240` - counts `player.badges` + `player.kantoBadges`, matching `CountSetBits` over two bytes | implemented |
| Object masking by event flag | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` object `eventFlag` field; `src/world/gen2/Npc.lua` | partial - the flag is extracted, but confirm the mask polarity (hidden when **set**) matches `CheckObjectFlag`; not verified in this pass |
| Wild encounters for this map | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:3720` (`JohtoGrassWildMons` / `KantoGrassWildMons`), `src/battle/gen2/Encounter.lua` | implemented |
| Battle music landmark split | `src/battle/gen2/BattleMusic.lua:45-56` explicitly names the Victory Road landmark boundary | implemented |
| A driver that walks Victory Road | - | **missing** - no `tests/drivers/gold_*.lua` mentions Victory Road |
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Rival Magneton level.** The FAQ says "Level 34 Magneton". The asm has 35 in
RIVAL1 (13) and RIVAL1 (14) and 34 only in RIVAL1 (15), the Feraligatr set
loaded when the player picked Cyndaquil. The FAQ appears to have been written
from one playthrough.
- **Rival party order.** The FAQ lists the starter evolution fourth. The asm
order is Sneasel, Golbat, Magneton, Haunter, Kadabra, starter (starter last).
- **"You get: 2280G"** and the per-mon EXP figures were not verified; base money
for the `RIVAL1` class lives in the trainer class attribute table, which was
not opened for this pass.
- **Wild list.** The FAQ lists only Golbat, Graveler, Rhyhorn and "Donphan
(Silver only)". The asm table also carries Onix (two slots, L34 and L36) and,
in Gold, Ursaring at L33 in the slot Silver gives to Donphan.
- **Item list.** The FAQ's item list omits the hidden Max Potion at (3,29) and
does not distinguish the itemball Full Heal at (15,48) from the hidden Full
Heal at (3,65).
- **"Head up the stairway"** - there is no `COLL_STAIRCASE` in the decoded
Victory Road map. What the FAQ calls stairways and cliffs are ordinary floor
plus the `COLL_UP_WALL` strips; the only vertical transitions are the six
ladders, the pit and the five ledges.
- **"Head back up the ladder to get back to the third floor"** (after TM26).
There is no ladder inside the TM pocket. The two ways out are the `HOP_RIGHT`
at (8,28)/(8,29) into the x=10..13 corridor that reaches the (13,31) ladder,
and the `HOP_DOWN` at (2,30)/(3,30) into the (1,35) pocket. The checklist above
prefers the first; which one the FAQ author meant is not recoverable from the
text.
- **X Special tile.** The Poke Ball at (7,38) sits on a `COLL_HOP_LEFT` tile with
`COLL_WALL` on both sides and above. Ledge tiles are `LAND_TILE` in
`CollisionPermissionTable`, so the column x=7, y=38..41 is walkable from
(7,42) upward and the ball is reachable; but this should be confirmed on
hardware or in an emulator, because it is the one placement in this map that
looks like a mistake rather than a design.
- **The gate's black belts as physical blockers.** The claim that
`VICTORYROADGATE_BLACK_BELT1` at (7,5) and `BLACK_BELT2` at (12,5) block the
only east-west corridor is inferred from the decoded gate collision (row 5 is
the sole corridor and rows 4/6 are walls beside it) plus the fact that NPCs are
solid. It is not stated in any script, and it belongs to later sections
(Route 28 / Route 22) rather than this one.
- **Object flag polarity in the port** was not tested; see the Port coverage row.

## 2. Maps
### MAP_ROUTE_23
- Script: `maps/Route23.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route23.blk`
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:349`): `map Route23, TILESET_KANTO, TOWN, LANDMARK_ROUTE_23, MUSIC_INDIGO_PLATEAU, FALSE, PALETTE_AUTO, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:322` -> `map_const ROUTE_23, 10, 9` (10 x 9 blocks = 20 x 18 tiles)
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:397` -> `map_attributes Route23, ROUTE_23, $0f`, **no connections** (despite `TOWN` environment)
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | 5 | `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` | 1 |
| 2 | 10 | 5 | `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` | 2 |
| 3 | 9 | 13 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 10 |
| 4 | 10 | 13 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | 10 |
**Coord events** - none (`def_coord_events` is empty).
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 7 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `IndigoPlateauSign` (`IndigoPlateauSignText`) |
**Object events** - none (`def_object_events` is empty).
**Scripts of interest**
- `Route23FlypointCallback` (`50:5888`), registered as `callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`.
Body is two opcodes: `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_INDIGO_PLATEAU` / `endcallback`.
This is the whole of the walkthrough's "You'll now be able to fly to this
location directly", and it is also the gate on the Kanto half of the Fly map
(see section 5 - Blockers).
- `IndigoPlateauSign` -> `jumptext IndigoPlateauSignText`.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_INDIGO_PLATEAU` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:78` | set by `Route23FlypointCallback` | after one step onto Route 23, Fly to Indigo Plateau is available; also unlocks the Kanto Fly map |
**Items** - none.
**Trainers** - none.
**Wild encounters** - none. `ROUTE_23` has no entry in `data/wild/johto_grass.asm`,
`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm`, `data/wild/johto_water.asm` or
`data/wild/kanto_water.asm` (grepped; `kanto_grass.asm` jumps
`ROUTE_22` -> `ROUTE_24`). The header's `FISHGROUP_SHORE` is the header default and
there is no water to fish from.

### MAP_INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F
- Script: `maps/IndigoPlateauPokecenter1F.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/IndigoPlateauPokecenter1F.blk`
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:350`): `map IndigoPlateauPokecenter1F, TILESET_POKECENTER, INDOOR, LANDMARK_INDIGO_PLATEAU, MUSIC_INDIGO_PLATEAU, FALSE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:323` -> `map_const INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F, 9, 7` (18 x 14 tiles)
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:598`, border `$00`, no connections
`object_const_def` order (the ids `moveobject` / `applymovement` / `appear` take):
```
0 INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_NURSE

3 INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_RIVAL
4 INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_GRAMPS
5 INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_ABRA
```
(the macro is `const_def 2`, so the emitted numbers start at 2)
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 13 | `ROUTE_23` | 1 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_RIVAL_BATTLE` (= 0) | 16 | 4 | `PlateauRivalBattle1` (`5a:48ff`) | rival walks up from the left column and blocks you |
| `SCENE_INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_RIVAL_BATTLE` (= 0) | 17 | 4 | `PlateauRivalBattle2` (`5a:4940`) | same fight, approached from the right column |
**BG events** - none.
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `..._NURSE` | `SPRITE_NURSE` | 3 | 7 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `IndigoPlateauPokecenter1FNurseScript` | -1 |
| `..._CLERK` | `SPRITE_CLERK` | 11 | 7 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `IndigoPlateauPokecenter1FClerkScript` | -1 |
| `..._COOLTRAINER_M` | `SPRITE_COOLTRAINER_M` | 11 | 11 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_WANDER` (radius 2,2) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `IndigoPlateauPokecenter1FCooltrainerMScript` | -1 |
| `..._RIVAL` | `SPRITE_RIVAL` | 16 | 9 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `ObjectEvent` | `EVENT_INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_RIVAL` |
| `..._GRAMPS` | `SPRITE_GRAMPS` (`PAL_NPC_BLUE`) | 1 | 9 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `TeleportGuyScript` | `EVENT_TELEPORT_GUY` |
| `..._ABRA` | `SPRITE_JYNX` (`PAL_NPC_BROWN`) | 0 | 9 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_POKEMON` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `AbraScript` | `EVENT_TELEPORT_GUY` |
Note the last row: the "Abra" the walkthrough names is declared with
`SPRITE_JYNX` (`constants/sprite_constants.asm:122`; `data/sprites/sprite_mons.asm`
maps that slot to `JYNX`). Its script is `AbraScript`, which does
`cry ABRA`. Verbatim from the file, not a typo of mine.
An object's event flag hides it when the flag is **set** (`Script_disappear`
sets, `Script_appear` clears - `engine/overworld/scripting.asm:879-898`).
`EVENT_INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_RIVAL` is set on New Game by
`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:556` (the `EVENT_INITIALIZED_EVENTS` block), so
the rival starts hidden. `EVENT_TELEPORT_GUY` is not in that block, so the old
man and his Pokémon are visible from the first visit.
**Scripts of interest**
- `IndigoPlateauPokecenter1FPrepareElite4Callback` (`5a:48b6`), a
`callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`. **This is the single most important script in
the section for a bot**: every time you set foot in the lobby it resets the
whole Elite Four run.
```
setmapscene WILLS_ROOM, SCENE_WILLSROOM_LOCK_DOOR
setmapscene KOGAS_ROOM, SCENE_KOGASROOM_LOCK_DOOR
setmapscene BRUNOS_ROOM, SCENE_BRUNOSROOM_LOCK_DOOR
setmapscene KARENS_ROOM, SCENE_KARENSROOM_LOCK_DOOR

clearevent EVENT_BEAT_CHAMPION_LANCE
setevent EVENT_LANCES_ROOM_OAK_AND_MARY ; hide Oak + Mary again
endcallback
```
Consequences: the five `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_*` flags are **not** durable
progress markers - they only survive within one uninterrupted run. The durable
"I beat the League" flag is `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_FOUR`, set in `HallOfFameEnterScript`.
- `PlateauRivalBattle1` / `PlateauRivalBattle2` -> `PlateauRivalBattleCommon`.
Guards, in order:
1. `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON` / `iffalse` -> done (so this only
ever fires post-game, after the Mt. Moon rematch),
2. `checkflag ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT` / `iftrue` -> done (once a day),
3. `readvar VAR_WEEKDAY` with `ifequal SUNDAY / TUESDAY / THURSDAY / FRIDAY /
SATURDAY` -> done. **Only Monday and Wednesday.**
Then `moveobject`/`appear` the rival, `showemote EMOTE_SHOCK`,
`special FadeOutMusic`, a 5-step `applymovement`, `playmusic MUSIC_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER`,
`setevent EVENT_INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_RIVAL`, then a starter-dependent
`loadtrainer RIVAL2, RIVAL2_2_*` + `startbattle`. Afterwards
`PlateauRivalPostBattle` plays `MUSIC_RIVAL_AFTER`, walks him off with
`disappear`, and `setflag ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT`.
- `IndigoPlateauPokecenter1FNurseScript` -> `jumpstd PokecenterNurseScript` (free heal).
- `IndigoPlateauPokecenter1FClerkScript` -> `pokemart MARTTYPE_STANDARD, MART_INDIGO_PLATEAU`.
- `TeleportGuyScript` (`5a:49e5`): `yesorno`; on yes, `playsound SFX_WARP_TO`,
`special FadeOutToWhite`, `warp NEW_BARK_TOWN, 13, 6`. The walkthrough's "Abra
will teleport you back" lands you in **New Bark Town**, specifically, not
"back to Johto" generically.
- `AbraScript`: text + `cry ABRA`, nothing else.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_RIVAL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1309` | set by `std_scripts.asm:556` on New Game and by `PlateauRivalBattleCommon`; cleared by `appear` | hides the rival object |
| `EVENT_TELEPORT_GUY` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1310` | set by `HallOfFameEnterScript` | after the Hall of Fame the old man **and** his Pokémon vanish; the ride home is a pre-champion service only |
| `EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON` | `constants/event_flags.asm:456` | read by both `PlateauRivalBattle*` | precondition for the lobby ambush |
| `ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:111` (in the `wDailyFlags2` block) | read/set by `PlateauRivalBattle*` | daily one-shot; cleared with the rest of the daily flags at midnight |
| `SCENE_INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_RIVAL_BATTLE` | the map's own `def_scene_scripts` (value 0) | coord events | see the quirk note below |
Scene quirk worth knowing: this map declares exactly one scene script, so
`SCENE_INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_RIVAL_BATTLE == 0`, which is also the default
value of `wMapScenes` for the map. `PlateauRivalPostBattle`'s
`setscene SCENE_INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_RIVAL_BATTLE` therefore writes 0 over

`ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT` and the weekday check.
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ULTRA_BALL`, `MAX_REPEL`, `HYPER_POTION`, `MAX_POTION`, `FULL_RESTORE`, `REVIVE`, `FULL_HEAL` | bought | `MartIndigoPlateau` (`data/items/marts.asm:384`, symbol `05:645a`), opened by `IndigoPlateauPokecenter1FClerkScript` | n/a |
This is where the walkthrough's "ten Hyper Potions, ten Revives, ten Full Heals"
shopping list is actually satisfiable - the mart carries all three plus Full
Restore.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `RIVAL2` | `RIVAL2` (`$2a`) | `RIVAL2_2_CHIKORITA` / `RIVAL2_2_CYNDAQUIL` / `RIVAL2_2_TOTODILE` (chosen by which starter the player took: `checkevent EVENT_GOT_TOTODILE_FROM_ELM` -> Chikorita team, `EVENT_GOT_CHIKORITA_FROM_ELM` -> Cyndaquil team, else Totodile team) | `Rival2Group` entries 4/5/6 | `PlateauRivalBattleCommon` | daily, Mon/Wed only, post Mt. Moon |
`Rival2Group` (4)-(6), all `TRAINERTYPE_MOVES`:
`45 SNEASEL`, `48 CROBAT`, `45 MAGNETON`, `46 GENGAR`, `46 ALAKAZAM`, and then
`50 MEGANIUM` / `50 TYPHLOSION` / `50 FERALIGATR` respectively. The walkthrough
does not mention this fight at all - a bot that walks the lobby on a Monday
will hit it whether or not it planned to.

### MAP_WILLS_ROOM
- Script: `maps/WillsRoom.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/WillsRoom.blk`
- Header (`data/maps/maps.asm:351`): `map WillsRoom, TILESET_ELITE_FOUR_ROOM, INDOOR, LANDMARK_INDIGO_PLATEAU, MUSIC_INDIGO_PLATEAU, TRUE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE` (the `TRUE` is the phone-service flag: **no phone calls** in any Elite Four room)
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:324` -> `map_const WILLS_ROOM, 5, 9` (10 x 18 tiles)
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:599`, border `$00`, no connections
`object_const_def`: `WILLSROOM_WILL` (emitted id 2).
Scene ids from the map's own `def_scene_scripts`:
`SCENE_WILLSROOM_LOCK_DOOR = 0`, `SCENE_WILLSROOM_NOOP = 1`.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 17 | `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` | 4 |
| 2 | 4 | 2 | `KOGAS_ROOM` | 1 |
| 3 | 5 | 2 | `KOGAS_ROOM` | 2 |
**Coord events** - none. The door-lock cutscene is a **scene script**, not a
coord event: `scene_script WillsRoomLockDoorScene, SCENE_WILLSROOM_LOCK_DOOR`
fires on map load via `sdefer`.
**BG events** - none.
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `WILLSROOM_WILL` | `SPRITE_WILL` (`PAL_NPC_RED`) | 5 | 7 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `WillScript_Battle` | -1 |
**Scripts of interest**
- `WillsRoomDoorLocksBehindYouScript` (`5a:4d8c`), deferred by the scene script:
`applymovement PLAYER, WillsRoom_EnterMovement` (4 x `step UP`, so you enter at
`(5, 17)` and end at `(5, 13)`), `reanchormap $85`, `playsound SFX_STRENGTH`,
`earthquake 80`, `changeblock 4, 14, $2a` (wall), `refreshmap`,
`setscene SCENE_WILLSROOM_NOOP`, `setevent EVENT_WILLS_ROOM_ENTRANCE_CLOSED`.
`changeblock` operands are in the same tile space as warps but are halved
internally (`Script_changeblock` adds 4 then `GetBlockLocation` shifts right,
`home/map.asm:2099`), so `4, 14` is the block covering tiles `(4..5, 14..15)` -
the corridor square immediately below where the walk-in leaves you. That is
what makes the walkthrough's "You can't go back to the Pokémon Center to heal
between battles" literally true.
- `WillsRoomDoorsCallback`, `callback MAPCALLBACK_TILES`: re-applies
`changeblock 4, 14, $2a` while `EVENT_WILLS_ROOM_ENTRANCE_CLOSED` is set and
`changeblock 4, 2, $16` (open door) while `EVENT_WILLS_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN` is set,
so the room's geometry survives a battle reload.
- `WillScript_Battle` (`5a:4da4`): `faceplayer`, `opentext`,
`checkevent EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_WILL` / `iftrue WillScript_AfterBattle`,
`writetext WillScript_WillBeforeText`, `winlosstext WillScript_WillBeatenText, 0`,
`loadtrainer WILL, WILL1`, `startbattle`, `reloadmapafterbattle`,
`setevent EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_WILL`, defeat text, `playsound SFX_ENTER_DOOR`,
`changeblock 4, 2, $16` (open the north door), `refreshmap`,
`setevent EVENT_WILLS_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN`.
Note there is **no `winlosstext` loss branch** (the second operand is `0`) and
no `BATTLETYPE_CANLOSE`: losing to any Elite Four member is an ordinary
blackout, which is why the FAQ says "If you lose, you have to start all over".

text, `SFX_ENTER_DOOR`, `changeblock 4, 0, $0b` (open the north door),
`setevent EVENT_LANCES_ROOM_ENTRANCE_CLOSED` (again - the script re-sets the
entrance flag here, it does not clear it), then
`musicfadeout MUSIC_BEAUTY_ENCOUNTER, 16` and the cutscene:
`appear LANCESROOM_MARY` -> `LancesRoomMovementData_MaryRushesIn` ->
`appear LANCESROOM_OAK` -> `LancesRoomMovementData_OakWalksIn` ->
`follow`/`stopfollow` pairs -> Mary's interview attempt -> Lance leads the

`special FadeOutToWhite` and `warp HALL_OF_FAME, 4, 13`.

| `HALLOFFAME_LANCE` | `SPRITE_LANCE` | 4 | 12 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `ObjectEvent` | -1 |
**Scripts of interest**
- `HallOfFameEnterScript` (`5a:5cff`), deferred from
`scene_script HallOfFameEnterScene, SCENE_HALLOFFAME_ENTER`. In order:
`follow HALLOFFAME_LANCE, PLAYER`,
`applymovement HALLOFFAME_LANCE, HallOfFame_WalkUpWithLance` (8 x `step UP`,
1 x `step RIGHT`, `turn_head LEFT`), `stopfollow`, Lance's speech,
`applymovement PLAYER, HallOfFame_SlowlyApproachMachine` (one `slow_step UP`),
`setscene SCENE_HALLOFFAME_NOOP`, then the state writes:
```
setval HEALMACHINE_HALL_OF_FAME ; constants/script_constants.asm:295
special HealMachineAnim
setevent EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_FOUR ; constants/event_flags.asm:77
setevent EVENT_TELEPORT_GUY ; removes the Abra ride home
setevent EVENT_RIVAL_SPROUT_TOWER
clearevent EVENT_RED_IN_MT_SILVER ; Red becomes available later
setevent EVENT_OLIVINE_PORT_SPRITES_BEFORE_HALL_OF_FAME
clearevent EVENT_OLIVINE_PORT_SPRITES_AFTER_HALL_OF_FAME
setmapscene SPROUT_TOWER_3F, SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_NOOP
special HealParty
checkevent EVENT_GOT_SS_TICKET_FROM_ELM / iftrue .SkipPhoneCall
specialphonecall SPECIALCALL_SSTICKET ; constants/phone_constants.asm:49

```
So the S.S. Ticket call from Elm is queued **here**, and the Kanto half of the
game is switched on by this one script.
- `halloffame` ($9f) -> `Script_halloffame` (`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:2207`)
-> `HallOfFame` (`21:640a`, `engine/events/halloffame.asm:3`):
fade out music, `wSpawnAfterChampion = SPAWN_LANCE`,
`set STATUSFLAGS_HALL_OF_FAME_F`, bump `wHallOfFameCount` (capped at
`HOF_MASTER_COUNT = 200`), `farcall SaveGameData`, `GetHallOfFameParty`,
`AddHallOfFameEntry`, `AnimateHallOfFame`, then `jp Credits` with the
**pre-set** copy of `wStatusFlags` (which is why a first-time champion cannot
hold B to skip the roll).
- After the credits, `ReturnFromCredits` (`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:2216`)
ends the script and returns `MAPSTATUS_DONE`; the game goes to the title
screen. On the next CONTINUE, `engine/menus/intro_menu.asm:296` `.SpawnAfterE4`
sets `wDefaultSpawnpoint = SPAWN_NEW_BARK` and enters via `MAPSETUP_WARP` -
the walkthrough's "the game isn't actually over".
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_FOUR` | `constants/event_flags.asm:77` | set by `HallOfFameEnterScript` | the durable "League cleared" flag; the five `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_*` flags are wiped by the lobby callback and must not be used for this |
| `EVENT_TELEPORT_GUY` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1310` | set here | Abra ride home disappears |
| `EVENT_RED_IN_MT_SILVER` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1284` | set on New Game (`std_scripts.asm:526`), **cleared** here | Red can now exist at Mt. Silver once the rest of his gate is met |
| `EVENT_RIVAL_SPROUT_TOWER` / `SCENE_SPROUTTOWER3F_NOOP` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1126` / Sprout Tower 3F's scenes | set here | post-game Sprout Tower state |
| `EVENT_OLIVINE_PORT_SPRITES_BEFORE_HALL_OF_FAME` / `_AFTER_HALL_OF_FAME` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1241-1242` | flipped here | Olivine Port repopulates for the Fast Ship |
| `EVENT_GOT_SS_TICKET_FROM_ELM` | `constants/event_flags.asm:45` | read here | if unset, `specialphonecall SPECIALCALL_SSTICKET` queues Elm's call (`engine/phone/scripts/elm.asm:69`) |
| `STATUSFLAGS_HALL_OF_FAME_F` | `constants/ram_constants.asm` | set by `HallOfFame::` | unlocks the Kanto Pokégear map, gates credit skipping |
| `SCENE_HALLOFFAME_ENTER` / `_NOOP` | this map's `def_scene_scripts` (0 / 1) | `setmapscene` from the lobby callback; `setscene` mid-script | 0 = play the induction |
**Items** - none. **Trainers** - none. **Wild encounters** - none.

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry to Victory Road (and therefore to this whole section) | `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:_VictoryRoadGateBadgeCheckScript` - `readvar VAR_BADGES` / `ifgreater NUM_JOHTO_BADGES - 1, .AllEightBadges` | all 8 Johto badges | `.AllEightBadges` does `setscene SCENE_VICTORYROADGATE_NOOP`; otherwise you get `applymovement PLAYER, VictoryRoadGateStepDownMovement` and are pushed back. **This gate belongs to the previous section**, listed here only because it is the precondition for everything below |
| Fly to Indigo Plateau | `maps/Route23.asm:Route23FlypointCallback` | one `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` on Route 23 | `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_INDIGO_PLATEAU` |
| No retreat once inside an Elite Four room | `maps/WillsRoom.asm:WillsRoomDoorLocksBehindYouScript` (and the Koga/Bruno/Karen/Lance twins) - `changeblock 4, 14, $2a` (Lance: `changeblock 4, 22, $34`) plus `EVENT_*_ROOM_ENTRANCE_CLOSED` re-applied by each map's `MAPCALLBACK_TILES` | none - it is unconditional on entry | never, within a run. The lobby's `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` clears the flags, but you can only reach the lobby by finishing or blacking out |
| Each room's north door | `WillScript_Battle` / `KogaScript_Battle` / `BrunoScript_Battle` / `KarenScript_Battle` - `changeblock 4, 2, $16` + `setevent EVENT_*_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN`, replayed by the map's `MAPCALLBACK_TILES` | beat that member | door block becomes `$16` (open) and warps at `(4, 2)`/`(5, 2)` become reachable |
| Lance's north door | `maps/LancesRoom.asm:LancesRoomLanceScript` - `changeblock 4, 0, $0b` | beat Lance | opened, but the script warps you through immediately anyway |
| Approaching Lance at all | `def_coord_events` at `(4, 5)` / `(5, 5)` gated on `SCENE_LANCESROOM_APPROACH_LANCE` | that scene is only set at the end of `LancesRoomDoorLocksBehindYouScript` | walking in through warp 1/2 always sets it; a bot teleported straight to y < 5 would skip the fight |
| Lobby rival ambush | `maps/IndigoPlateauPokecenter1F.asm:PlateauRivalBattle1/2` | `EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON` set, `ENGINE_INDIGO_PLATEAU_RIVAL_FIGHT` clear, `VAR_WEEKDAY` in {MONDAY, WEDNESDAY} | not a progress gate - a hazard. Avoid tiles `(16, 4)` / `(17, 4)` if the run cannot afford a level-45-50 six-mon fight |
| No HM field move is required anywhere in this section | grep: no `Route23`/Elite Four map references any `engine/overworld/` field-move script; the walkthrough's "you do NOT need to have every HM" is correct | - | - |

## 4. Bot checklist
Coordinates are the raw asm map coordinates (tile grid, origin top-left, before
the +4 border offset the object/warp readers apply).
| # | Map | Target | Intent | Precondition | Postcondition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `VICTORY_ROAD` | warp at `(13, 5)` | walk onto warp | 8 Johto badges (already spent at `VictoryRoadGate`) | on `ROUTE_23` at warp 3 `(9, 13)` |
| 2 | `ROUTE_23` | any tile (map load) | step | - | `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_INDIGO_PLATEAU` set |
| 3 | `ROUTE_23` | `(9, 5)` or `(10, 5)` | walk onto warp | - | in `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` at `(5, 13)`/`(6, 13)`; the `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` resets all Elite Four scenes/flags |
| 4 | `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` | `INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_NURSE` at `(3, 7)` | talk (A, facing up from `(3, 8)`) | - | party healed (`jumpstd PokecenterNurseScript`) |
| 5 | `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` | `INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_CLERK` at `(11, 7)` | talk, buy | money | stock Hyper Potion / Full Heal / Revive / Full Restore from `MartIndigoPlateau` |
| 6 | `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` | avoid `(16, 4)` and `(17, 4)` | pathing constraint | only matters if `EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON` is set and today is Mon/Wed | skipping avoids `RIVAL2_2_*` |
| 7 | `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` | warp at `(14, 3)` | walk onto warp | - | in `WILLS_ROOM` at `(5, 17)`; scene 0 fires `WillsRoomDoorLocksBehindYouScript` |
| 8 | `WILLS_ROOM` | (automatic) | wait out `applymovement` | - | player at `(5, 13)`, `EVENT_WILLS_ROOM_ENTRANCE_CLOSED` set, scene = 1 |
| 9 | `WILLS_ROOM` | `WILLSROOM_WILL` at `(5, 7)` | walk to `(5, 8)`, face up, A | - | win -> `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_WILL`, `EVENT_WILLS_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN` |
| 10 | `WILLS_ROOM` | `(4, 2)` or `(5, 2)` | walk onto warp | `EVENT_WILLS_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN` | in `KOGAS_ROOM` at `(4, 17)`/`(5, 17)` |
| 11 | `KOGAS_ROOM` | `KOGASROOM_KOGA` at `(5, 7)` | walk to `(5, 8)`, face up, A | door-lock cutscene done (player at `(4|5, 13)`) | `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_KOGA`, `EVENT_KOGAS_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN` |
| 12 | `KOGAS_ROOM` | `(4, 2)` / `(5, 2)` | walk onto warp | exit open | in `BRUNOS_ROOM` at `(4, 17)`/`(5, 17)` |
| 13 | `BRUNOS_ROOM` | `BRUNOSROOM_BRUNO` at `(5, 7)` | talk | cutscene done | `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_BRUNO`, `EVENT_BRUNOS_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN` |
| 14 | `BRUNOS_ROOM` | `(4, 2)` / `(5, 2)` | walk onto warp | exit open | in `KARENS_ROOM` at `(4, 17)`/`(5, 17)` |
| 15 | `KARENS_ROOM` | `KARENSROOM_KAREN` at `(5, 7)` | talk | cutscene done | `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_KAREN`, `EVENT_KARENS_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN` |
| 16 | `KARENS_ROOM` | `(4, 2)` / `(5, 2)` | walk onto warp | exit open | in `LANCES_ROOM` at `(4, 23)`/`(5, 23)` |
| 17 | `LANCES_ROOM` | (automatic) | wait out `applymovement` | - | player at `(4|5, 19)`, `EVENT_LANCES_ROOM_ENTRANCE_CLOSED` set, scene = `SCENE_LANCESROOM_APPROACH_LANCE` |
| 18 | `LANCES_ROOM` | walk to `(4, 5)` (or `(5, 5)`) | walk onto coord event | scene = 1 | `Script_ApproachLanceFromLeft/Right` -> Champion battle vs `CHAMPION`/`LANCE` |
| 19 | `LANCES_ROOM` | (automatic) | hold A through the Mary / Oak cutscene | won | `EVENT_BEAT_CHAMPION_LANCE`, then `warp HALL_OF_FAME, 4, 13` |
| 20 | `HALL_OF_FAME` | (automatic) | hold A through Lance's speech | scene = `SCENE_HALLOFFAME_ENTER` | `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_FOUR`, `EVENT_TELEPORT_GUY`, S.S. Ticket call queued if needed, `halloffame` runs |
| 21 | (screens) | Hall of Fame roster -> credits -> "The End" | wait; B skips **only** if `STATUSFLAGS_HALL_OF_FAME_F` was already set before this induction | - | back to title; save has been written by `SaveGameData` inside the ceremony |
| 22 | (title) | CONTINUE | select | `wSpawnAfterChampion == SPAWN_LANCE` | game resumes at `SPAWN_NEW_BARK`, not at Indigo Plateau |
Bot notes:
- Do **not** re-enter `INDIGO_PLATEAU_POKECENTER_1F` mid-run to heal. You cannot
(the doors are sealed), and if some other path got you there, its
`MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` wipes `EVENT_BEAT_ELITE_4_*` and re-arms all five
door-lock scenes, restarting the gauntlet from Will.
- Every fight uses `winlosstext <win>, 0` - no loss branch, no
`BATTLETYPE_CANLOSE` - so a loss is a full blackout to the last Pokémon Center.
- After each `startbattle` the scripts run `reloadmapafterbattle`, which re-runs
the map's `MAPCALLBACK_TILES` and therefore restores both the sealed south door
and (once its flag is set) the opened north door.

| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map/warp/coord/object tables for all 8 maps | extracted generically by `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` into the Gold cache and read by `src/world/gen2/World.lua` + `src/world/gen2/Map.lua` | implemented (data-driven; nothing map-specific is hand-written) |
| `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` / `MAPCALLBACK_TILES` dispatch (the lobby reset, the door callbacks) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua`, asserted end-to-end by `tests/drivers/gold_map_callbacks.lua` | implemented |
| `changeblock` / `refreshmap` door swaps | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:1454` (`World:changeBlock`), `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua` | implemented |
| `reanchormap` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:166` - grouped with `opentext`/`closetext` as a no-op | partial (the camera re-anchor the cart does after the wall drops is not reproduced; cosmetic, but the seal-in frame may differ) |
| `earthquake 80` shake | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:1044` -> `earthquakeFn`, `World:earthquake` (`src/world/gen2/World.lua:1537`) | implemented |
| Scene scripts / `sdefer` (all five door locks, the Hall of Fame induction) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:92` - `sdefer` is executed **immediately** rather than deferred until the map settles | partial (ordering deviation, called out in the source comment) |
| `setmapscene` / `setscene` | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua`, `World:mapSceneOf` (`src/world/gen2/World.lua:1179`) | implemented |

| Trainer party data (`WillGroup``ChampionGroup`), class DVs, class items | extracted by `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` (`TrainerGroups`, ~line 3871) | implemented (data-driven) |
| AI item use (Koga/Lance Full Restore, Will/Bruno Max Potion, Karen Full Heal) | `src/battle/gen2/Ai.lua:1369-1375`, `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua:1747` | implemented |
| Prize money `base x last level` | `src/battle/gen2/Prize.lua` (`Prize.rewardLevel`), used at `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua:1438` | implemented |

| Hall of Fame roster screen + credits, first-time-champion skip lockout | `src/ui/gen2/HallOfFame.lua`, `src/ui/gen2/Credits.lua`; eyeball driver `tests/drivers/gold_halloffame_shots.lua` | implemented |
| `wSpawnAfterChampion` -> post-credits respawn at `SPAWN_NEW_BARK` | `src/core/gen2/HallOfFame.lua:51` (`POST_CREDITS_SPAWN`) and `:254` (`consumePostGameSpawn`) | **partial** - the logic exists and is unit-tested (`tests/gen2_halloffame_test.lua:164`), but grepping `src/` finds **no caller**: nothing on the CONTINUE path consumes it, so a port save resumes where it stood rather than at New Bark Town |
| `specialphonecall SPECIALCALL_SSTICKET` from the induction | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` (`specialphonecall`), `src/core/gen2/Phone.lua:394` (`SPECIALCALL_SSTICKET`, id 5) | implemented |

| A Gold-side driver that actually walks Route 23 -> Hall of Fame | none found (`tests/drivers/gold_*.lua` has boot/walk/battle/HOF-screen drivers but no League run; `tests/drivers/bot_route.lua` and `tests/parity_lance.lua` are the **Gen 1** Kanto Elite Four) | missing |
---
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
1. **"Route 32 is very short, and you'll immediately be at the Pokémon League
building."** The map between Victory Road and the Plateau is `MAP_ROUTE_23`
(`constants/map_constants.asm:322`), not Route 32 (which is south of Violet
City). Walkthrough typo.
2. **The walkthrough is describing HeartGold/SoulSilver parties, not Gold.** Four
concrete divergences, all verified against `data/trainers/parties.asm`:
- Will's send-out order is Xatu, Jynx, **Exeggutor, Slowbro**, Xatu; the FAQ
lists Slowbro third and Exeggutor fifth.
- Koga's order is Ariados, **Venomoth, Forretress**, Muk, Crobat; the FAQ
swaps 2 and 3.
- Bruno's order is Hitmontop, **Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan**, Onix, Machamp; the
FAQ swaps 2 and 3.
- Karen and Lance match in order and level.
3. **Prize money.** The FAQ's 4200 / 4400 / 4600 / 4700 / 5000 G are 100 x the
last mon's level (HGSS). GS pays `base reward x level`
(`ComputeTrainerReward`, `engine/battle/read_trainer_party.asm:300`) with a
base reward of 25 for every one of these classes
(`data/trainers/attributes.asm`), i.e. **1050 / 1100 / 1150 / 1175 / 1250 G**.
The EXP figures quoted per Pokémon were not checked against
`data/pokemon/base_stats/` and should be treated as HGSS numbers too.
4. **Held items and AI items.** "Koga has three Full Restores", "Karen has one
Full Restore", "Lance has three Full Restores", "Houndoom holding a Sitrus
Berry", "One of the Dragonites may be holding a Sitrus Berry". In GS these
parties are `TRAINERTYPE_MOVES`, which carries **no held item field at all**,
and the AI's item pool is the two-byte class row: Will `MAX_POTION, NO_ITEM`;
Bruno `MAX_POTION, NO_ITEM`; Karen `FULL_HEAL, MAX_POTION` (no Full Restore);
Koga `FULL_HEAL, FULL_RESTORE`; Champion `FULL_HEAL, FULL_RESTORE`. Sitrus
Berry does not exist in Gen 2.
5. **Move names.** "Dragon Rush" (Lance's Dragonites) is a Gen 4 move; the GS
Dragonites run Thunder Wave / Twister / Thunder or Blizzard / Hyper Beam, and
the level-50 one runs Fire Blast / Safeguard / Outrage / Hyper Beam. Lugia's
"Aero Blast" and Donphan/Sudowoodo suggestions in the sample lineup are fine
as species, but none of that is asm-checkable.
6. **"Routes 46 and 47 aren't bad, either."** `ROUTE_47` does not exist in
pokegold (`constants/map_constants.asm` has `ROUTE_45` and `ROUTE_46` and then
moves on). Route 47/48 are HGSS additions.
7. **"You can go back to the Move Deleter in Blackthorn City."** There is a
`maps/MoveDeletersHouse.asm` reached from `maps/BlackthornCity.asm`; I did not
read its script, so the claim is plausible but unverified here.
8. **"If you trade a Red Scale to Mr. Pokémon, he will give you EXP Share."**
`maps/MrPokemonsHouse.asm` does `checkitem RED_SCALE` (line 53),
`verbosegiveitem EXP_SHARE` (line 72), `takeitem RED_SCALE` (line 74), so the
claim holds; the surrounding flag guards were not read (out of scope).
9. **The "Abra" sprite.** `maps/IndigoPlateauPokecenter1F.asm:324` declares
`SPRITE_JYNX` for the object whose script is `AbraScript` and whose cry is
`cry ABRA`. There is no `SPRITE_ABRA` in `constants/sprite_constants.asm`.
Whether this renders as a Jynx on hardware, or whether some `variablesprite`
elsewhere rewrites it, was not chased down - no `variablesprite` targeting
`SPRITE_JYNX` appears in `engine/events/std_scripts.asm`'s init block.
10. **`EVENT_LANCES_ROOM_EXIT_OPEN` is never set.** `LancesRoomDoorsCallback`
reads it, the lobby callback clears it, but no script in the tree sets it
(grepped `maps/`). The champion's north door is opened by a bare
`changeblock 4, 0, $0b`, which does not survive a map reload. Harmless in
practice because the script warps you out immediately, but a bot that
somehow re-enters Lance's room post-battle will find the door shut again.
11. **`setevent EVENT_LANCES_ROOM_ENTRANCE_CLOSED` appears twice**: once in
`LancesRoomDoorLocksBehindYouScript` (correct) and again immediately after
the champion's after-battle text in `LancesRoomLanceScript`. The second one
looks like it was meant to be the `EXIT_OPEN` set in item 10; recorded as
observed, not corrected.
12. **The lobby's redundant `setscene`.** `PlateauRivalPostBattle` sets the scene
to `SCENE_INDIGOPLATEAUPOKECENTER1F_RIVAL_BATTLE`, which is 0, which is the
map's only scene and its default. Whether this was intended to disarm the
coord events (it does not) is a judgement call; the effective guards are the
engine flag and the weekday check.
13. **"Fully heal your Pokémon and save after every trainer battle."** There is
no heal source inside the sealed rooms - no nurse object, no
`special HealParty` until `HallOfFameEnterScript`. The advice is about bag
items, and the asm agrees that nothing else is available.

Spillover: the walkthrough's opening line ("Heal at the Pokémon Center") refers to Vermilion City, and its closing text ends inside the Saffron Gym exit - nothing past Saffron is described. `MAP_COPYCATS_HOUSE_1F` (Saffron warp 8, `(9, 11)`) exists on this map but the walkthrough never enters it in this section.
## 2. Maps
### MAP_ROUTE_6
- Script: `maps/Route6.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route6.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:562` `Route6_Blocks`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:294` -> `TILESET_KANTO`, `ROUTE`, `LANDMARK_ROUTE_6`, `MUSIC_ROUTE_3`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_AUTO`, `FISHGROUP_POND`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:271` `map_const ROUTE_6, 10, 9` (10x9 blocks = 20x18 cells)
- Connections: `data/maps/attributes.asm:346-348` - north `SaffronCity` (offset -5), south `VermilionCity` (offset -5). No east/west.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 17 | 3 | `ROUTE_6_UNDERGROUND_PATH_ENTRANCE` | 1 |
| 2 | 6 | 1 | `ROUTE_6_SAFFRON_GATE` | 3 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`) - none.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | 5 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `Route6UndergroundPathSign` (`Route6UndergroundPathSignText`) |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `ROUTE6_POKEFAN_M` | `SPRITE_POKEFAN_M` | 17 | 4 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` (sight field 2, unused) | `Route6PokefanMScript` (`4f:581a`) | `EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH` |
**Scripts of interest**
- `Route6PokefanMScript` (`maps/Route6.asm:9`, sym `4f:581a`): a bare `jumptextfaceplayer Route6PokefanMText` - "The road is closed until the problem at the POWER PLANT is solved." No flag reads. He stands at `(17, 4)`, directly south of the Underground Path door at `(17, 3)`, so his body is the block, not a script check.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1299` | set by `maps/PowerPlant.asm:164`; consumed as the object's event flag on `maps/Route6.asm:43` and `maps/Route5.asm:56` | Flag **set** hides the object (`CheckObjectFlag`, `engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm:32`). Clear (default) = the man is standing there = Underground Path shut |
**Items** - none on this map.
**Trainers** - none on this map.
**Wild encounters**
`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:480` `def_grass_wildmons ROUTE_6`, encounter rates 10/10/10 percent (morn/day/nite). Gold block (`IF DEF(_GOLD)`, lines 483-506):
| slot | morn | day | nite |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | L13 `PIDGEY` | L13 `PIDGEY` | L13 `ODDISH` |
| 2 | L13 `BELLSPROUT` | L13 `BELLSPROUT` | L14 `ODDISH` |
| 3 | L14 `PIDGEY` | L14 `PIDGEY` | L13 `BELLSPROUT` |
| 4 | L15 `MAGNEMITE` | L15 `MAGNEMITE` | L15 `MAGNEMITE` |
| 5 | L12 `ABRA` | L12 `ABRA` | L12 `ABRA` |
| 6 | L14 `ABRA` | L14 `ABRA` | L14 `ABRA` |
| 7 | L14 `ABRA` | L14 `ABRA` | L14 `ABRA` |
Silver (`ELIF DEF(_SILVER)`, lines 508-531) swaps the third slot for `MEOWTH` (L14) morn/day and slots 2/3 for `MEOWTH`/`BELLSPROUT` at nite.
Water: `data/wild/kanto_water.asm:12` `def_water_wildmons ROUTE_6`, 2 percent - L10 `PSYDUCK`, L5 `PSYDUCK`, L10 `GOLDUCK`.
Fishing group is `FISHGROUP_POND` (`data/maps/maps.asm:294`).
### MAP_ROUTE_6_UNDERGROUND_PATH_ENTRANCE
- Script: `maps/Route6UndergroundPathEntrance.asm`
- Blocks: shared `maps/UndergroundPathEntrance.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:466`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:306` -> `TILESET_GATE`, `GATE`, `LANDMARK_ROUTE_6`, `MUSIC_ROUTE_3`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_DAY`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:283` `map_const ROUTE_6_UNDERGROUND_PATH_ENTRANCE, 4, 4`
- Connections: none (indoor)
**Warps**
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 7 | `ROUTE_6` | 1 |
| 2 | 4 | 7 | `ROUTE_6` | 1 |
| 3 | 4 | 3 | `UNDERGROUND_PATH` | 2 |
No coord events, no bg events, no object events. Nothing gates warp 3 from the inside - the only block is the NPC body on Route 6.
### MAP_ROUTE_6_SAFFRON_GATE
- Script: `maps/Route6SaffronGate.asm`
- Blocks: shared `maps/NorthSouthGate.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:210,215`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:305` -> `TILESET_GATE`, `GATE`, `LANDMARK_ROUTE_6`, `MUSIC_ROUTE_3`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_DAY`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:282` `map_const ROUTE_6_SAFFRON_GATE, 5, 4`
- Scene scripts: one entry, `scene_script Route6SaffronGateNoopScene` with no scene-id argument (`maps/Route6SaffronGate.asm:6`), so no `SCENE_*` constant is generated and the scene is a bare `end`.
**Warps**
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 0 | `SAFFRON_CITY` | 12 |
| 2 | 5 | 0 | `SAFFRON_CITY` | 13 |
| 3 | 4 | 7 | `ROUTE_6` | 2 |
| 4 | 5 | 7 | `ROUTE_6` | 2 |
**Coord events** - none. **BG events** - none.
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `ROUTE6SAFFRONGATE_OFFICER` | `SPRITE_OFFICER` | 0 | 4 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_RIGHT` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `Route6SaffronGuardScript` (`59:523c`) | -1 (always) |
**Scripts of interest**
- `Route6SaffronGuardScript` (`maps/Route6SaffronGate.asm:13`, sym `59:523c`): `faceplayer` / `opentext` / `checkevent EVENT_RETURNED_MACHINE_PART` / `iftrue .ReturnedPart`. Before the Power Plant is fixed he explains the Magnet Train is dead; after, a one-liner. He stands at `(0, 4)`, off the walking lane - he never blocks passage.
### MAP_SAFFRON_CITY
- Script: `maps/SaffronCity.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/SaffronCity.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:24`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:490` -> `TILESET_KANTO`, `TOWN`, `LANDMARK_SAFFRON_CITY`, `MUSIC_VIRIDIAN_CITY`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_AUTO`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`

Every Saffron City NPC is `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`; none of them blocks a warp tile.
**Scripts of interest**
- `SaffronCityFlypointCallback` (`maps/SaffronCity.asm:17`), registered as `callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`: `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_SAFFRON` / `endcallback`. Walking in from the Route 6 gate is what unlocks Fly to Saffron - there is no NPC or item involved.
- `SaffronCityLass1Script`, `SaffronCityPokefanMScript`, `SaffronCityFisherScript` all branch on `checkevent EVENT_RETURNED_MACHINE_PART`. Purely dialogue; useful only as a state probe.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_SAFFRON` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:74` | set by `SaffronCityFlypointCallback` | Fly destination unlocked; also the `SPAWN_SAFFRON` blackout target once the player has been here |
| `EVENT_RETURNED_MACHINE_PART` | `constants/event_flags.asm:200` | set in `maps/PowerPlant.asm:161`; read by four Saffron scripts and `Route6SaffronGuardScript` | Not set in this section. Its absence is what keeps the Magnet Train shut |
**Items** - none directly on the city map.
**Trainers** - none.
**Wild encounters** - none. `SAFFRON_CITY` has no entry in `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm`, `kanto_water.asm`, `fish.asm` or `treemons.asm` (grep over `data/wild/` for `SAFFRON` returns nothing).

One `verbosegiveitem`; a full bag drops through `.Done` **without** setting the flag, so a bot must re-talk after making room.

**Scripts of interest**
- `FightingDojoFocusBand` (`maps/FightingDojo.asm:19`, sym `61:400b`): the two-byte `itemball FOCUS_BAND` struct (macro at `macros/scripts/maps.asm:154`, quantity defaults to 1), not a script. The engine's own item-ball path runs it.
- There are **no trainers** in the Fighting Dojo in Gen 2. `FightingDojoBlackBeltText` explains the Karate King is away in a Johto cave (Rock Tunnel-era content elsewhere), so nothing here fights back.
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `FOCUS_BAND` (`constants/item_constants.asm:127`, `$77`) | walk onto / press A at `(3, 1)` | `FightingDojoFocusBand` (`OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL`) | `EVENT_PICKED_UP_FOCUS_BAND` (`constants/event_flags.asm:1312`) - once set the ball object is masked |

**Teleporter graph, resolved to landing coordinates.** Every pair is mutual, so the graph is 15 undirected edges. Room labels are derived from the pad clusters and the object coordinates; they are a reading aid, the coordinates are the ground truth.

`(1,5)` in the top-left room is the only pad that reaches Sabrina, and `(11,9)` is the only way out of her chamber. This matches the walkthrough's "go to the bottom left teleporter and you'll go straight to the gym leader".
**Coord events** - none. The gym has no trip-wires; every transition is a warp tile.

All four trainers spin (`SPINRANDOM_FAST`), so their line of sight rotates - a bot cannot assume a fixed approach lane; walking into the room will trigger them.
**Scripts of interest**
- `SaffronGymSabrinaScript` (`maps/SaffronGym.asm:14`, sym `61:40cf`):
`faceplayer` / `opentext` / `checkflag ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` / `iftrue .FightDone` / `writetext SabrinaIntroText` / `waitbutton` / `closetext` / `winlosstext SabrinaWinLossText, 0` / `loadtrainer SABRINA, SABRINA1` / `startbattle` / `reloadmapafterbattle` / then a burst of five `setevent`s: `EVENT_BEAT_SABRINA`, `EVENT_BEAT_MEDIUM_REBECCA`, `EVENT_BEAT_MEDIUM_DORIS`, `EVENT_BEAT_PSYCHIC_FRANKLIN`, `EVENT_BEAT_PSYCHIC_JARED` / `opentext` / `writetext ReceivedMarshBadgeText` / `playsound SFX_GET_BADGE` / `waitsfx` / `setflag ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` / `writetext SabrinaMarshBadgeText` / `waitbutton` / `closetext` / `end`.
Two consequences a bot should exploit: **the four gym trainers are auto-cleared when Sabrina falls**, so they are entirely skippable; and the badge is a `setflag` on `ENGINE_MARSHBADGE`, which is also the re-entry guard (`.FightDone`).
- `TrainerMediumRebecca` / `TrainerPsychicFranklin` / `TrainerMediumDoris` / `TrainerPsychicJared` (`maps/SaffronGym.asm:47,58,69,80`): each is a `trainer CLASS, ID, EVENT_BEAT_*, SeenText, BeatenText, 0, .Script` struct (`macros/scripts/maps.asm:142`; field order is group, id, flag, seen, win, loss, after) followed by an `endifjustbattled` / `opentext` / `writetext ...AfterBattleText` / `waitbutton` / `closetext` / `end` after-battle script.
- `SaffronGymStatue` (`maps/SaffronGym.asm:107`, sym `61:4170`): `checkflag ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` / `iftrue .Beaten` / `jumpstd GymStatue1Script`; the beaten arm does `gettrainername STRING_BUFFER_4, SABRINA, SABRINA1` then `jumpstd GymStatue2Script`. Handy as a cheap post-badge assertion.
- `SaffronGymGuideScript` (`maps/SaffronGym.asm:91`): branches on `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_SABRINA`; no items, no flags written.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:52` (bit 5 of `wKantoBadges`; Kanto order is Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, Rainbow, Soul, **Marsh**, Volcano, Earth) | `checkflag` in `SaffronGymSabrinaScript` and `SaffronGymStatue`; `setflag` after the win | The section's terminal postcondition |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SABRINA` | `constants/event_flags.asm:720` | set by `SaffronGymSabrinaScript`; read by `SaffronGymGuideScript` | Leader defeated |
| `EVENT_BEAT_MEDIUM_REBECCA` | `constants/event_flags.asm:935` | trainer struct flag; also force-set by the Sabrina script | Rebecca cleared |
| `EVENT_BEAT_MEDIUM_DORIS` | `constants/event_flags.asm:936` | as above | Doris cleared |
| `EVENT_BEAT_PSYCHIC_FRANKLIN` | `constants/event_flags.asm:564` | as above | Franklin cleared |
| `EVENT_BEAT_PSYCHIC_JARED` | `constants/event_flags.asm:573` | as above | Jared cleared |
**Items** - none in the gym.
**Trainers**

| `MEDIUM` / `REBECCA` | `MEDIUM` | 6 (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:590`) | `MediumGroup` `; MEDIUM (6)`: L35 `DROWZEE`, L35 `HYPNO` | `TrainerMediumRebecca` | none |
| `PSYCHIC_T` / `FRANKLIN` | `PSYCHIC_T` (class 34) | 2 (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:513`) | `PsychicGroup` `; PSYCHIC_T (2)` (`data/trainers/parties.asm:2516`): L37 `KADABRA` | `TrainerPsychicFranklin` | none |
| `MEDIUM` / `DORIS` | `MEDIUM` | 7 (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:591`) | `MediumGroup` `; MEDIUM (7)`: L34 `SLOWPOKE`, L36 `SLOWBRO` | `TrainerMediumDoris` | none |
| `PSYCHIC_T` / `JARED` | `PSYCHIC_T` | 11 (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:522`) | `PsychicGroup` `; PSYCHIC_T (11)` (`data/trainers/parties.asm:2569`): L32 `MR__MIME`, L32 `EXEGGCUTE`, **L35** `EXEGGCUTE` | `TrainerPsychicJared` | none |
Prize money: `ComputeTrainerReward` (`engine/battle/read_trainer_party.asm:300`) is `base reward x last mon's level`, and `engine/battle/core.asm:2344-2358` pays that quarter out **four times**, so the visible payout is `4 x base x level`. Base rewards: Sabrina 25 (`data/trainers/attributes.asm:211`), Medium 10 (`:343`), Psychic T 8 (`:313`). That reproduces the walkthrough's 4800G / 1400G / 1440G / 1184G / 1120G exactly. Sabrina also carries a `HYPER_POTION` as an AI item (`data/trainers/attributes.asm:210`).
**Wild encounters** - none (indoor gym).

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underground Path (Route 6 warp 1 at `(17, 3)`) | `maps/Route6.asm:43` - `ROUTE6_POKEFAN_M` object standing at `(17, 4)` with event flag `EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH`; visibility decided by `CheckObjectFlag`, `engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm:32` | Nothing the player can do in this section | `maps/PowerPlant.asm:164` `setevent EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH` (flag set = object masked), which is part of returning the `MACHINE_PART` |
| Magnet Train Saffron -> Goldenrod | `maps/SaffronMagnetTrainStation.asm:19` `checkevent EVENT_RESTORED_POWER_TO_KANTO`, then `checkitem PASS` at `:30` | `EVENT_RESTORED_POWER_TO_KANTO` **and** `PASS` in bag | `maps/PowerPlant.asm:165` sets the event; the `PASS` comes from elsewhere. Both false here, so the officer only prints "isn't operating now" |
| Silph Co. upper floors | `maps/SilphCo1F.asm:69` - `SILPHCO1F_OFFICER` object at `(13, 1)` with event flag `-1` (never hides). No stairs warp exists on `SilphCo1F` at all | Permanently blocked in Gen 2 | Never; this is not a gate that opens |
| Saffron Gym maze | The 30 pad warps at `maps/SaffronGym.asm:296-326`. Pads are teleport panels (`COLL_WARP_PANEL`-class tiles), so they fire on landing, not on a directional press | Navigation only - no badge, item or flag check anywhere in `SaffronGym.asm` | n/a. The single route to Sabrina is `(11,15) -> (19,17) -> ... -> (1,5) -> (11,9)`; see the pad table |
| MARSHBADGE re-fight guard | `maps/SaffronGym.asm:17` `checkflag ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` / `iftrue .FightDone` | Badge not yet held | Beating Sabrina once; afterwards she only talks |
| Gym trainers | Each `trainer` struct's `EVENT_BEAT_*` flag; the trainer only challenges while its flag is clear | Walking into their sight cone (sight 3 for Rebecca/Franklin, 2 for Doris/Jared) | Beating them, **or** beating Sabrina, which sets all four flags at `maps/SaffronGym.asm:27-30` |
No HM field move is required anywhere in this section - no `engine/overworld/cut.asm`, `surf.asm`, `strength.asm` or `whirlpool.asm` check is reachable from these maps. The Bicycle the walkthrough recommends is convenience only.
## 4. Bot checklist
Coordinates are asm cell coordinates on the named map. "Warp N" means the `def_warp_events` index in that map's table.
1. `MAP_ROUTE_6` - walk north along the route to warp 2 at `(6, 1)`. Precondition: none. Postcondition: on `MAP_ROUTE_6_SAFFRON_GATE` warp 3 `(4, 7)`.
- Optional: read the sign at `(19, 5)`. Do **not** try warp 1 at `(17, 3)`; `ROUTE6_POKEFAN_M` occupies `(17, 4)` while `EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH` is clear.
2. `MAP_ROUTE_6_SAFFRON_GATE` - walk from `(4, 7)` to warp 1 at `(4, 0)`. Postcondition: on `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` warp 12 `(16, 33)`; `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` fires and `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_SAFFRON` becomes set.
3. `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` - walk to warp 5 at `(27, 29)`. Enter `MAP_MR_PSYCHICS_HOUSE`.
4. `MAP_MR_PSYCHICS_HOUSE` - talk to `MRPSYCHICSHOUSE_FISHING_GURU` at `(5, 3)` (approach from `(4, 3)` facing right, he faces left). Precondition: `EVENT_GOT_TM29_PSYCHIC` clear and TM pocket has room. Postcondition: `TM_PSYCHIC_M` in bag, `EVENT_GOT_TM29_PSYCHIC` set. Exit warp 1 `(2, 7)`.
5. `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` - walk to warp 7 at `(18, 21)`. Enter `MAP_SILPH_CO_1F`.
6. `MAP_SILPH_CO_1F` - talk to `SILPHCO1F_OFFICER` at `(13, 1)`. Precondition: `EVENT_GOT_UP_GRADE` clear, item pocket has room. Postcondition: `UP_GRADE` in bag, `EVENT_GOT_UP_GRADE` set. Exit warp 1 `(2, 7)`.
7. (Optional, dialogue only) `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` warp 6 at `(8, 3)` -> `MAP_SAFFRON_MAGNET_TRAIN_STATION`; talk to `SAFFRONMAGNETTRAINSTATION_OFFICER` at `(9, 9)`. Expect the "isn't operating now" arm because `EVENT_RESTORED_POWER_TO_KANTO` is clear. Exit warp 1 `(8, 17)`.
8. (Optional) `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` warp 3 at `(25, 11)` -> `MAP_SAFFRON_MART`; talk to `SAFFRONMART_CLERK` at `(1, 3)` for `MART_SAFFRON`. Exit warp 1 `(2, 7)`.
9. `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` - warp 1 at `(26, 3)` -> `MAP_FIGHTING_DOJO`. Walk onto / face `FIGHTINGDOJO_POKE_BALL` at `(3, 1)`. Precondition: `EVENT_PICKED_UP_FOCUS_BAND` clear. Postcondition: `FOCUS_BAND` in bag, `EVENT_PICKED_UP_FOCUS_BAND` set (ball object masked from then on). Exit warp 1 `(4, 11)`.
10. (Optional heal) `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` warp 4 at `(9, 29)` -> `MAP_SAFFRON_POKECENTER_1F`; talk to nurse at `(3, 1)`. Exit warp 1 `(3, 7)`.
11. `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` - warp 2 at `(34, 3)` -> `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM`, landing on warp 1 `(8, 17)`.
12. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` - walk to the pad at `(11, 15)`. Warps to `(19, 17)`.
13. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` BR room - battle `SAFFRONGYM_GRANNY1` (Medium Rebecca) at `(17, 16)`, sight 3. Precondition: `EVENT_BEAT_MEDIUM_REBECCA` clear. Postcondition: that flag set. (Skippable: her flag is force-set by the Sabrina script.)
14. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` - step on pad `(15, 17)`. Warps to `(5, 15)`.
15. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` BL room - battle `SAFFRONGYM_YOUNGSTER1` (Psychic Franklin) at `(3, 16)`, sight 3. Postcondition: `EVENT_BEAT_PSYCHIC_FRANKLIN` set.
16. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` - step on pad `(1, 15)`. Warps to `(19, 5)`.
17. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` TR room - battle `SAFFRONGYM_YOUNGSTER2` (Psychic Jared) at `(17, 4)`, sight 2. Postcondition: `EVENT_BEAT_PSYCHIC_JARED` set.
18. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` - step on pad `(15, 5)`. Warps to `(1, 3)`.
19. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` TL room - battle `SAFFRONGYM_GRANNY2` (Medium Doris) at `(3, 4)`, sight 2. Postcondition: `EVENT_BEAT_MEDIUM_DORIS` set.
20. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` - step on pad `(1, 5)`. Warps to `(11, 9)`, Sabrina's chamber.
21. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` - talk to `SAFFRONGYM_SABRINA` at `(9, 8)` (stand at `(9, 9)` facing up, or `(10, 8)` facing left). Precondition: `ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` clear. Battle `SABRINA`/`SABRINA1`. Postcondition: `EVENT_BEAT_SABRINA`, the four trainer flags, and `ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` all set; +4800G.
22. `MAP_SAFFRON_GYM` exit - `(11, 9)` -> `(1, 5)`; walk right to `(5, 5)` -> `(1, 11)`; walk right to `(5, 11)` -> `(5, 17)`; walk up to `(5, 15)` -> `(15, 17)`; walk right to `(19, 17)` -> `(11, 15)`; walk down to warp 1/2 at `(8, 17)`/`(9, 17)` -> `MAP_SAFFRON_CITY` warp 2 `(34, 3)`.
23. Mid-gym heal-and-return (if step 21 needs a fresh party): exit via step 22, heal at `MAP_SAFFRON_POKECENTER_1F`, re-enter, then `(11,15) -> (19,17)`, up to `(19,15) -> (19,9)`, left to `(15,9) -> (15,3)`, down to `(15,5) -> (1,3)`, down to `(1,5) -> (11,9)`. This is the walkthrough's "1st teleporter, then up, left, down, down" and it checks out against the pad table.
## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map load, block grid, `COLL_*` collision, connections | `src/world/gen2/Map.lua`, `src/world/gen2/Permissions.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua` | Implemented (generic; Gold maps come from `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua`, not hand-ported) |
| Warp panels / teleport pads (the whole gym maze) | `src/world/gen2/Permissions.lua:195` `COLL_WARP_PANEL = 0x7c` in `WARP_FACING_DOWN`, `Permissions.warpFacesDown`; warp taking in `src/world/gen2/World.lua:1566` `World:warpTo` | Implemented (panels warp on landing, which is what all 30 gym pads are) |
| Map-to-self warps (every gym pad targets `SAFFRON_GYM`) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua` warp handling | Implemented, but untested for this map - no driver exercises a same-map warp chain |
| `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` -> `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_SAFFRON` | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5659` `self:runMapCallback("MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP")`; fly-point row at `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:365` (`LANDMARK_SAFFRON_CITY` / `SPAWN_SAFFRON` / flag 59) | Implemented |
| Script opcodes used by every script in this section (`checkevent`, `iftrue`, `iffalse`, `setevent`, `checkflag`, `setflag`, `verbosegiveitem`, `promptbutton`, `writetext`, `waitbutton`, `jumptext`, `jumptextfaceplayer`, `jumpstd`, `gettrainername`, `pokemart`, `yesorno`, `checkitem`, `applymovement`, `special`, `warpcheck`, `newloadmap`, `loadtrainer`, `startbattle`, `reloadmapafterbattle`, `winlosstext`, `endifjustbattled`, `playsound`, `waitsfx`) | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua`, `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` (`checkflag` :195, `verbosegiveitem` :490, `pokemart` :597, `jumpstd` :742, `loadtrainer` :806, `startbattle` :817, `winlosstext` :918) | Implemented |
| Object visibility from event flags (the Route 6 blocker, the station's hidden Teacher/Lass, the picked-up Focus Band ball) | `src/world/gen2/Events.lua:1-2` documents and implements "flag SET -> object hidden", matching `CheckObjectFlag` | Implemented |
| Overworld trainer sight + battle handoff (Rebecca, Franklin, Doris, Jared) | `src/world/gen2/Trainers.lua` (eyesight from `home/trainers.asm`, party build) | Implemented |
| Gym leader battle, badge grant, prize money x4 | `src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua`; `src/battle/gen2/Prize.lua:82` `Prize.reward(baseMoney, level)` and `:181` `local quarter = ...` (the four-way payout) | Implemented |
| Item ball pickup (`FOCUS_BAND` in the Fighting Dojo) | Extracted at `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:2968-2969` into `obj.itemball`, but **nothing reads `obj.itemball` at runtime** (grep for `.itemball` in `src/` hits only the extractor). `src/script/gen2/CallAsm.lua:551` explicitly stubs `TryReceiveItem` | **Missing** - the ball object will exist and be masked correctly by its flag, but stepping on it grants nothing |
| Magnet Train ride (`special MagnetTrain`) | `src/core/gen2/MagnetTrain.lua`, `src/ui/gen2/MagnetTrainRide.lua` | Implemented (not exercised in this section - the officer's gate is false here) |
| Mart (`pokemart MARTTYPE_STANDARD, MART_SAFFRON`) | `src/ui/gen2/MartMenu.lua`, `Vm.lua:597` | Implemented |
| Pokecenter heal (`jumpstd PokecenterNurseScript`) | std scripts extracted (`src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:2901`), heal hook `src/script/gen2/Specials.lua:451` | Implemented |
| Bicycle | `src/world/gen2/Bike.lua` | Implemented |
| Any Saffron-specific hand-ported content | none | **Missing by design** - the Gen 2 port is data-driven off the ROM; there are no `SAFFRON` symbols anywhere under `src/` except Gen 1 save-conversion tables (`src/save_convert/`), which are unrelated |
| Driver coverage for this section | `tests/drivers/gold_*.lua` (25 drivers: boot, walk, warp, trainer, battle, map callbacks, ...) | **Missing** - no driver reaches Kanto or Saffron; `gold_warp_scene.lua` / `gold_walk_smoke.lua` are Johto-early smoke tests |
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Psychic Jared's third Pokemon.** The walkthrough lists "Level 32 Exeggcute (672 EXP)" twice. `data/trainers/parties.asm:2569-2574` gives `PSYCHIC_T (11) JARED` as L32 `MR__MIME`, L32 `EXEGGCUTE`, **L35** `EXEGGCUTE`. The asm wins; the walkthrough's second Exeggcute level and its EXP figure are both wrong.
- **EXP values.** None of the per-Pokemon EXP numbers in the walkthrough (765, 1237, 1149, 735, 672, 720, 1264, 1941, 1339, 1912) were checked against `data/pokemon/base_stats/` - they are outside what a bot needs and were not verified.
- **"PokeMart ... upper-right corner of Saffron City".** The mart door is warp 3 at `(25, 11)` on a 40x36-cell map, i.e. north-of-centre and east of the middle, not the corner. The two gyms it says are "further north" are at `(26, 3)` and `(34, 3)`, which is correct.
- **"Silph Co ... the multi-story building above the Pokémon Center".** Silph is warp 7 at `(18, 21)`; the Pokecenter is warp 4 at `(9, 29)`. Silph is north-**east** of it, and `SilphCo1F` has no stairs warp - only the two street doors. There is no upper floor in Gen 2.
- **"You now have 10 badges!"** `ENGINE_MARSHBADGE` is bit 5 of `wKantoBadges` (`constants/engine_flags.asm:52`), so it is the 6th Kanto badge in flag order, not the 10th badge overall. The count of 10 only holds for a player who took Vermilion before Saffron, as this FAQ's chapter order does. Nothing in the asm enforces that order.
- **The walkthrough's mid-maze "left/right (whichever way works) till you find that one trainer again (Franklin)" heal route** is deliberately vague in the source text and was not reduced to a single pad sequence. The precise post-heal route it gives afterwards ("1st teleporter, then up, left, down, down") *does* resolve cleanly and is recorded in bot checklist step 23.
- **The "large man who blocks the entire entrance to the Underground Path"** is described as taunting the player about moving boulders. `Route6PokefanMText` (`maps/Route6.asm:15`) contains only the Power Plant line; no boulder or strength text exists on this map. Treat the boulder remark as FAQ colour.

# Section 21 - Power Plant and Cerulean City Gym
Source: `../section-21-power-plant-and-cerulean-city-gym.txt`
Maps covered: `MAP_ROUTE_5`, `MAP_ROUTE_5_SAFFRON_GATE`, `MAP_ROUTE_5_CLEANSE_TAG_HOUSE`,
`MAP_ROUTE_5_UNDERGROUND_PATH_ENTRANCE`, `MAP_CERULEAN_CITY`, `MAP_CERULEAN_GYM`,
`MAP_ROUTE_9`, `MAP_ROUTE_10_NORTH`, `MAP_POWER_PLANT`, `MAP_ROUTE_24`,
`MAP_ROUTE_25`, `MAP_BILLS_HOUSE`
Badges / key milestones in this section: CASCADEBADGE (`ENGINE_CASCADEBADGE`) from Misty;
the whole Machine Part chain (`EVENT_MET_MANAGER_AT_POWER_PLANT` ->
`EVENT_MET_ROCKET_GRUNT_AT_CERULEAN_GYM` -> Route 24 grunt battle ->
`EVENT_FOUND_MACHINE_PART_IN_CERULEAN_GYM`); Misty's date on Route 25 clears
`EVENT_TRAINERS_IN_CERULEAN_GYM` and is what actually populates the gym.
Coordinate note: `warp_event` / `bg_event` / `object_event` / `coord_event` x,y are in
*map cells* (walk tiles), while `map_const NAME, W, H` in `constants/map_constants.asm`
is in *blocks*. Cells = 2x blocks, so `map_const ROUTE_9, 30, 9` is a 60x18 cell map and
`warp_event 48, 15` is inside it.

| 2 | `MAP_ROUTE_5` | `maps/Route5.asm` | gate warps | north connection -> `CERULEAN_CITY` | walk north; optional detour to the old Day Care building |
| 3 | `MAP_ROUTE_5_CLEANSE_TAG_HOUSE` | `maps/Route5CleanseTagHouse.asm` | `ROUTE_5` warp 4 at `10,11` | warps 1/2 at `2,7` / `3,7` -> `ROUTE_5` warp 4 | granny gives CLEANSE_TAG |
| 4 | `MAP_CERULEAN_CITY` | `maps/CeruleanCity.asm` | south connection from `ROUTE_5` | warp 5 at `30,23` -> `CERULEAN_GYM` | first (empty) gym visit |
| 5 | `MAP_CERULEAN_GYM` | `maps/CeruleanGym.asm` | `CERULEAN_CITY` warp 5 | warps 1/2 at `4,15` / `5,15` | gym is empty: `EVENT_TRAINERS_IN_CERULEAN_GYM` is still set from `InitializeEventsScript` |
| 6 | `MAP_ROUTE_9` | `maps/Route9.asm` | east connection from `CERULEAN_CITY` | south connection -> `ROUTE_10_NORTH` | six trainers; needs CUT at the west entrance |

Spills into the next section: `maps/Route9.asm` warp 1 at `48,15` leads to `ROCK_TUNNEL_1F`,
and the Machine Part is *returned* to `PowerPlantManager` (which is what unlocks the Magnet
Train and the Underground Path). The walkthrough text stops at Misty; Rock Tunnel / Lavender
and the return trip belong to the neighbouring sections.

### MAP_ROUTE_5
- Script: `maps/Route5.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route5.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:489` -> `map Route5, TILESET_KANTO, ROUTE, LANDMARK_ROUTE_5, MUSIC_ROUTE_3, FALSE, PALETTE_AUTO, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:453` -> `map_const ROUTE_5, 10, 9` (group `SAFFRON` = 25, id 1)
- Connections (`data/maps/attributes.asm:356`): north `CERULEAN_CITY` (offset -5), south `SAFFRON_CITY` (offset -5)
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)

**Coord events** - none (`def_coord_events` is empty).
**BG events**
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 17 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `Route5UndergroundPathSign` |
| 10 | 11 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `HouseForSaleSign` |
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |

**Scripts of interest**
- `Route5PokefanMScript` - one `jumptextfaceplayer Route5PokefanMText`: "The road is closed
until the problem at the POWER PLANT is solved." He stands at `17,16`, directly below the
Underground Path door at `17,15`, so the tile is physically blocked. His object row carries
`EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH`; object events are hidden when their
flag is *set*, and that flag is not in `InitializeEventsScript`, so at this point in the
game it is clear and he is present. `PowerPlantManager` `setevent`s it after the part is
returned (`maps/PowerPlant.asm:164`), removing him.
- `Route5UndergroundPathSign` / `HouseForSaleSign` - plain `jumptext`. Note the "House for
Sale" sign shares the exact tile `10,11` with warp 4 into the Cleanse Tag house.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_ROUTE_5_6_POKEFAN_M_BLOCKS_UNDERGROUND_PATH` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1299` | object row `maps/Route5.asm:56` and `maps/Route6.asm:43`; `setevent` at `maps/PowerPlant.asm:164` | clear = NPC present and Underground Path door unreachable; set = NPC gone |
**Items** - none on the route proper.
**Wild encounters** - `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:425` `def_grass_wildmons ROUTE_5`,
10/10/10 percent. Gold morn+day: L13 PIDGEY, L13 BELLSPROUT, L14 PIDGEY, L15 PIDGEY,
L12 ABRA, L14 ABRA, L14 ABRA. Gold nite: L13 ODDISH, L14 ODDISH, L13 BELLSPROUT,
L15 GLOOM, L12 ABRA, L14 ABRA, L14 ABRA. No water table. Fishing group `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
(`data/wild/fish.asm` `.Shore_*`).

Nothing here gates progress: the officer is a single `jumptextfaceplayer`, and there are no
coord or bg events.

### MAP_ROUTE_5_CLEANSE_TAG_HOUSE
- Script: `maps/Route5CleanseTagHouse.asm`
- Blocks: shared, `data/maps/blocks.asm:196` (`Route5CleanseTagHouse_Blocks`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:503` -> `map Route5CleanseTagHouse, TILESET_HOUSE, INDOOR, LANDMARK_ROUTE_5, MUSIC_VIRIDIAN_CITY, FALSE, PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:467` -> `map_const ROUTE_5_CLEANSE_TAG_HOUSE, 4, 4` (group 25, id 15)

**Scripts of interest**
- `Route5CleanseTagHouseGrannyScript` (`pokegold.sym` `61:57de`) -
`faceplayer` / `opentext` / `checkevent EVENT_GOT_CLEANSE_TAG` / `iftrue .GotCleanseTag`;
otherwise `writetext Route5CleanseTagHouseGrannyText1`, `promptbutton`,
`verbosegiveitem CLEANSE_TAG`, `iffalse .NoRoom`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_CLEANSE_TAG`,
then the "you are protected now" line. Bag-full drops straight to `.NoRoom` without
setting the flag, so a bot must have a free pocket slot or repeat the talk.
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `CLEANSE_TAG` | talk to `ROUTE5CLEANSETAGHOUSE_GRANNY` at `2,5` | `Route5CleanseTagHouseGrannyScript`, `verbosegiveitem CLEANSE_TAG` | `EVENT_GOT_CLEANSE_TAG` (`constants/event_flags.asm:218`) |

| 1 | 3 | 7 | `ROUTE_5` | 1 |
| 2 | 4 | 7 | `ROUTE_5` | 1 |
| 3 | 4 | 3 | `UNDERGROUND_PATH` | 1 |
Only reachable once the Route 5 Pokefan is gone. Listed here because the walkthrough calls
him out; nothing in this section actually enters it.

That is the in-game hint for the hidden BERSERK_GENE at `2,12`.

once `ENGINE_CASCADEBADGE` is set). If true (gym empty) they print the "Sorry, I'll be out

This is why the first gym visit is empty. |
| `EVENT_CERULEAN_GYM_ROCKET` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1295` | set at `std_scripts.asm:547`; cleared by `PowerPlantManager` (`maps/PowerPlant.asm:146`) | clear = grunt object exists so the scene can run |

Base rewards (`data/trainers/attributes.asm`): SWIMMERF 5, SWIMMERM 2, MISTY 25. Payout is
`ComputeTrainerReward` (`engine/battle/read_trainer_party.asm:300`) = base x last mon level,
added four times by the `ld c, 4` loop in `engine/battle/core.asm:2340`, i.e. base x level x 4.
That reproduces every number in the walkthrough (Misty 25 x 47 x 4 = 4700).

**Scripts of interest**
- `BillsGrandpa` - a five-step chain, each step gated on the previous. Order in the asm:
1. LICKITUNG -> `EVENT_SHOWED_LICKITUNG_TO_BILLS_GRANDPA` -> `verbosegiveitem EVERSTONE`
(`EVENT_GOT_EVERSTONE_FROM_BILLS_GRANDPA`)
2. ODDISH -> `EVENT_SHOWED_ODDISH_TO_BILLS_GRANDPA` -> `verbosegiveitem LEAF_STONE`
(`EVENT_GOT_LEAF_STONE_FROM_BILLS_GRANDPA`)
3. STARYU -> `EVENT_SHOWED_STARYU_TO_BILLS_GRANDPA` -> `verbosegiveitem WATER_STONE`
(`EVENT_GOT_WATER_STONE_FROM_BILLS_GRANDPA`)
4. GROWLITHE (Gold) / VULPIX (Silver, selected by `checkver` / `iftrue .AskVulpix`) ->
`EVENT_SHOWED_GROWLITHE_VULPIX_TO_BILLS_GRANDPA` -> `verbosegiveitem FIRE_STONE`
(`EVENT_GOT_FIRE_STONE_FROM_BILLS_GRANDPA`)
5. PICHU -> `EVENT_SHOWED_PICHU_TO_BILLS_GRANDPA` -> `verbosegiveitem THUNDERSTONE`
(`EVENT_GOT_THUNDERSTONE_FROM_BILLS_GRANDPA`, which also ends the chain)
Mechanics: `writetext ... AskToSeeMonText`, `yesorno`, `scall .ExcitedToSee`,
`special BillsGrandfather` (party pick; `iffalse` = cancelled), `ifnotequal <SPECIES>, .WrongPokemon`.
`EVENT_TEMPORARY_UNTIL_MAP_RELOAD_1` (`constants/event_flags.asm:5`) is set after each
successful hand-over, so he only accepts **one mon per visit** - a bot must leave and
re-enter the house between stones.
- First talk sets `EVENT_MET_BILLS_GRANDPA` (`constants/event_flags.asm:457`).
**Items**

| Scene scripts on map load + `sdefer` (`CeruleanGymGruntRunsOutScene`) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua` `World:trySceneScript`; `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:92` | partial - `sdefer` is run immediately rather than queued until the map settles (comment at `Vm.lua:93` says so). Cosmetic ordering risk on the gym grunt scene. |
| `setscene` / `setmapscene` / `checkmapscene` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:274`, `:279`, `:284` | implemented, including the `0xff` "no scene var" sentinel |
| `checkevent` / `setevent` / `clearevent` and `checkflag` / `setflag` (`ENGINE_CASCADEBADGE`, `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_CERULEAN`) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:198-229`, `engineFlags` store at `:1661` | implemented - generic id-keyed stores, no per-flag work needed |
| Hidden items (`BGEVENT_ITEM`): MACHINE_PART, ETHER, POTION, BERSERK_GENE | `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua` | implemented (the header notes this was previously unreachable because `World:bgEventAt` only answered `BGEVENT_READ`) |
| Item ball (`Route25Protein`) | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:2968` (`OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL`) | implemented |
| Trainer sight lines / `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER` sight radius | `src/world/gen2/Trainers.lua:98` `Trainers.sees` | implemented |

| Kanto Gen 2 wild tables (`kanto_grass`/`kanto_water`, Gold/Silver split on Route 9) | extracted by `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua`; consumed by `src/battle/gen2/Encounter.lua` | implemented - version split comes from the ROM, so it is correct by construction |
| End-to-end driver coverage for this stretch | `tests/drivers/gold_*.lua` (25 drivers: boot, walk, warp, trainer, battle, roamers, ice path, etc.) | missing - no Kanto / Cerulean / Power Plant driver exists |
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Cut tree positions.** The walkthrough says "Cut the tree at the entrance" (Route 9) and
"Cut the tree above Pat" (Route 25). Cut trees are block data in `maps/Route9.blk` /
`maps/Route25.blk`, not events, so no coordinate for them appears anywhere in the asm text.
A bot needs the decoded block map (or the port's `Permissions.isCutTree` over the loaded
collision) to find them. The Protein ball at `32,4` sitting two cells above Pat at `31,7`
is consistent with the walkthrough's claim, but the tree cell itself is unverified here.
- **Kevin's battle is omitted from the walkthrough.** The text says only "that guy will give
you a Nugget". `TrainerCooltrainermKevin` gives the NUGGET and then immediately battles you
with L38 RHYHORN / L35 CHARMELEON / L35 WARTORTLE. Treat the walkthrough as incomplete here,
not the asm.
- **Wild lists are abridged in the walkthrough.** Route 24 also has VENONAT / SUNKERN /
ODDISH / VENOMOTH, and Route 25 also has PIDGEY / PIDGEOTTO / VENONAT / WEEPINBELL /
ODDISH / VENOMOTH, none of which the FAQ lists. Route 5's own table (PIDGEY / BELLSPROUT /
ABRA / ODDISH / GLOOM) is not listed at all.
- **"Surf down the river ... and you'll be at the Power Plant."** The Power Plant door is
`warp_event 3, 9` on `ROUTE_10_NORTH`, and the water table for both `ROUTE_9` and
`ROUTE_10_NORTH` exists, so surfing is clearly the route - but the exact water path across
the Route 9 / Route 10 North connection boundary is block data and was not traced.
- **EXP values.** Every per-mon EXP number in the walkthrough (e.g. "Level 42 Golduck
(1566 EXP)") depends on the player's own level and participation; nothing in
`data/trainers/parties.asm` carries them. Money values were all reproduced from
`data/trainers/attributes.asm` base reward x last-mon level x 4 and check out.
- **"the 11th gym badge".** The asm has no badge counter tied to this; `ENGINE_CASCADEBADGE`
is just one bit in `constants/engine_flags.asm:48`. The ordinal is walkthrough prose.
- **Route 5 "Day Care Center from Red, Blue and Yellow".** The building is
`ROUTE_5_CLEANSE_TAG_HOUSE` and its sign at `10,11` reads "House for Sale... Nobody lives
here." Nothing in Gen 2 calls it a Day Care; that identification is the FAQ's own history
note. Also note the sign and the door share the tile `10,11`, so an A-press there may hit
either depending on facing - worth verifying against the port's bg-event-vs-warp priority.
- **`POWERPLANT_GYM_GUIDE3` / `PowerPlantGymGuide4Script` naming mismatch** in
`maps/PowerPlant.asm` (there is no `PowerPlantGymGuide3Script`). Harmless, but a
label-driven bot should not assume the const and script numbers line up.

## 1. Route order
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | `FUCHSIA_CITY` | - | previous section | south connection, or `ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE` warps 1/2 at (4,0)/(5,0) | **Belongs to the previous section**; only the hop south is listed |
| 1 | `ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE` | `maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.asm` | warps 1/2 at (4,0)/(5,0) from `FUCHSIA_CITY` 10/11 | warps 3/4 at (4,7)/(5,7) -> `ROUTE_19` 1 | Officer explains why Route 19 is shut |
| 2 | `ROUTE_19` | `maps/Route19.asm` | warp 1 at (7,3) from the gate | dead end - back through warp 1 | **Blocked.** `Route19ClearRocksCallback` paints six boulders while `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` is clear |
| 3 | `VERMILION_CITY` | `maps/VermilionCity.asm` | FLY (`ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VERMILION`, set by `VermilionCityFlypointCallback`) | warp 10 at (34,7) -> `DIGLETTS_CAVE` 1 | Wake and battle the SNORLAX at (34,8) with the POKe FLUTE radio channel |
| 4 | `VERMILION_POKECENTER_1F` | `maps/VermilionPokecenter1F.asm` | city warp 2 at (9,5) | warps 1/2 at (3,7)/(4,7) back | Heal and withdraw the caught SNORLAX |

Spillover: the FAQ's video-link header also names Tin Tower, Ho-Oh, Routes 1-4

**Scripts of interest**
- `Route19ClearRocksCallback` (`callback MAPCALLBACK_TILES`). `checkevent
EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` / `iftrue .Done`; otherwise it runs six
`changeblock` writes that lay a rock block (`$7a`) over block coordinates
`(6,6) (8,6) (10,6) (12,8) (4,8) (10,10)`. This is the wall the FAQ hits.
Block coordinates, so the blocked cells are `x = 2*bx .. 2*bx+1`,
`y = 2*by .. 2*by+1`.
- `Route19Fisher1Script` / `Route19Fisher2Script` both branch on
`EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` for flavour text only. Neither one clears the
rocks - see "Blockers and gates".
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` | `constants/event_flags.asm:214` | read by `Route19ClearRocksCallback`, `Route19Fisher1Script`, `Route19Fisher2Script`, `Route19FuchsiaGateOfficerScript`; **set** by `Route20ClearRocksCallback` (`maps/Route20.asm:13`, `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`) | Route 19 stays blocked until the player has stood on Route 20, which is reached from the Cinnabar side (Pallet -> Route 21 -> Cinnabar -> Route 20) |
**Items** - none on this map.
**Trainers** - four Swimmers, all reachable only by Surf and all beyond the
boulders in the FAQ's play order; not part of this section's critical path.

**Scripts of interest**
- `Route19FuchsiaGateOfficerScript`: `checkevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED`,
two text branches. Pure flavour; the officer does not gate the warp.

Note the object-flag polarity (`CheckObjectFlag`,
`engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm:32`): an object with an `EVENT_*` flag is
**masked when the flag is set**. So the SNORLAX is present only while
`EVENT_VERMILION_CITY_SNORLAX` is clear, and `disappear` is what sets it.
**Scripts of interest**
- `VermilionSnorlax` (`4f:5291`). `opentext` -> `special SnorlaxAwake` ->
`iftrue .Awake`. Asleep branch writes `VermilionCitySnorlaxSleepingText` and
ends. `.Awake` writes `VermilionCityRadioNearSnorlaxText`, `pause 15`,
`cry SNORLAX`, then
`loadvar VAR_BATTLETYPE, BATTLETYPE_FORCEITEM` /
`loadwildmon SNORLAX, 50` / `startbattle` /
`disappear VERMILIONCITY_BIG_SNORLAX` / `setevent EVENT_FOUGHT_SNORLAX` /
`reloadmapafterbattle`.
The `disappear` and `setevent` run **unconditionally after the battle**, so a
fled-from or fainted Snorlax is still gone: catching it is a one-shot.
- `SnorlaxAwake` (`engine/events/specials.asm:358`, symbol `03:45d6`). Returns
`TRUE` only when *both* hold:
1. `[wMapMusic] == MUSIC_POKE_FLUTE_CHANNEL`;
2. the player stands on one of `.ProximityCoords`
(`engine/events/specials.asm:399`): `(33,8) (34,10) (35,10) (36,8) (36,9)`.
The POKe FLUTE channel is the Pokegear radio at knob 78 / "20.0"
(`engine/pokegear/pokegear.asm:1447`, `.PokeFluteRadio` at 1487): it needs
**not-Johto** and `POKEGEAR_EXPN_CARD_F` in `wPokegearFlags`. Tuning the radio
and closing the Pokegear leaves that song as `wMapMusic`.
- `VermilionGymBadgeGuy`: `checkevent EVENT_GOT_HP_UP_FROM_VERMILION_GUY`, then
`readvar VAR_BADGES` with `ifequal NUM_BADGES` / `ifgreater 13` /
`ifgreater 9`. `verbosegiveitem HP_UP` only at all 16 badges. Not this
section's business, but a bot walking Vermilion will trip the text.
- `VermilionCityFlypointCallback` (`MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`):
`setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VERMILION`. This is what makes the FAQ's "fly back to
Vermilion City" legal - it must already have been visited on foot.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_VERMILION_CITY_SNORLAX` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1298` | object flag on `VERMILIONCITY_BIG_SNORLAX`; set by `disappear` in `VermilionSnorlax` | clear = Snorlax on the map; set = gone, cave door walkable |
| `EVENT_FOUGHT_SNORLAX` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1266` | set by `VermilionSnorlax`; read by `VermilionPokecenter1FFishingGuruScript` (`maps/VermilionPokecenter1F.asm:18`) and used as the object flag of the right Black Belt in `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:119` | "the Snorlax encounter has happened" |
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VERMILION` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:72` | `VermilionCityFlypointCallback` | Fly destination unlocked |
| `POKEGEAR_EXPN_CARD_F` | `constants/ram_constants.asm:280` | read by `.PokeFluteRadio` | without the EXPN CARD the flute channel is static and `SnorlaxAwake` can never be true |
| `EVENT_VERMILION_CITY_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:252` | `VermilionCityHiddenFullHeal` | hidden FULL_HEAL at (12,19) |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source (label / bg_event / hidden) | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `LEFTOVERS` | attached to the wild SNORLAX | `data/pokemon/base_stats/snorlax.asm:9` `db LEFTOVERS, LEFTOVERS` forced by `BATTLETYPE_FORCEITEM` (`engine/battle/core.asm:5771`) | - |
| `FULL_HEAL` | hidden | `bg_event 12, 19, BGEVENT_ITEM, VermilionCityHiddenFullHeal` | `EVENT_VERMILION_CITY_HIDDEN_FULL_HEAL` |
**Wild encounters** - the scripted SNORLAX is not a table entry; it is
`loadwildmon SNORLAX, 50`. Level 50 learnset from
`data/pokemon/evos_attacks.asm:1932`: the four most recent are SNORE (36),
REST (36), BODY_SLAM (43), ROLLOUT (50) - which is exactly the FAQ's "Rest" and
"Rollout". Catch rate 25, base exp 154 (`data/pokemon/base_stats/snorlax.asm`).

### MAP_VERMILION_POKECENTER_1F
- Script: `maps/VermilionPokecenter1F.asm`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm` (`VERMILION` group); dimensions
`constants/map_constants.asm:275` `map_const VERMILION_POKECENTER_1F, 5, 4`
Only the one script matters here:
- `VermilionPokecenter1FFishingGuruScript`: `checkevent EVENT_FOUGHT_SNORLAX`,
two text branches ("A sleeping #MON is lying in front of DIGLETT'S CAVE" ->
after-text). It is a read-only confirmation that the Snorlax beat is done; the
PC withdraw the FAQ asks for is the standard `POKECENTER_2F` / PC menu, not a
map script.

### MAP_DIGLETTS_CAVE
- Script: `maps/DiglettsCave.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/DiglettsCave.blk` (180 bytes = 10 x 18 blocks)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:153` -> `TILESET_CAVE, CAVE, LANDMARK_DIGLETTS_CAVE, MUSIC_MT_MOON, TRUE (no phone), PALETTE_NITE, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:140` `map_const DIGLETTS_CAVE, 10, 18` (group `DUNGEONS`, id 75) = 20 x 36 cells
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:487` `map_attributes DiglettsCave, DIGLETTS_CAVE, $09`; no connections
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 33 | `VERMILION_CITY` | 10 |
| 2 | 5 | 31 | `DIGLETTS_CAVE` | 5 |
| 3 | 15 | 5 | `ROUTE_2` | 5 |
| 4 | 17 | 3 | `DIGLETTS_CAVE` | 6 |
| 5 | 17 | 33 | `DIGLETTS_CAVE` | 2 |
| 6 | 3 | 3 | `DIGLETTS_CAVE` | 4 |
Warps 2<->5 and 4<->6 are the two internal ladders. Reading `DiglettsCave.blk`
against `data/tilesets/kanto_collision.asm` (block `$1f`/`$1b` = ladder, `$24` =
door) the map is three disconnected pockets:
- pocket A (bottom-left, blocks (1,15)-(2,17)): warp 1 (VERMILION door) + warp 2
(ladder);
- pocket B (the long cave): warp 5 at (17,33) up to warp 6 at (3,3);
- pocket C (top-right, blocks (7,1)-(8,3)): warp 4 (ladder) + warp 3 (ROUTE_2
door).
So the traversal is: `(3,33)` -> ladder `(5,31)` -> emerge `(17,33)` -> walk the
long cave to `(3,3)` -> ladder -> emerge `(17,3)` -> door `(15,5)` -> Route 2
`(12,7)`. That is exactly the FAQ's "down the ladder, ride up, up that ladder,
exit the door".
**Coord events** - none.

**Trainers** - none, matching the FAQ.
**Items**

**Wild encounters** - `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:5` `def_grass_wildmons
DIGLETTS_CAVE`, rates `4 / 2 / 8` percent (morn/day/nite). All three time slots
carry the same seven rows:
| slot | level | species |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15 | DIGLETT |
| 2 | 17 | DIGLETT |
| 3 | 19 | DIGLETT |
| 4 | 13 | DIGLETT |
| 5 | 19 | DUGTRIO |
| 6 | 24 | DUGTRIO |
| 7 | 29 | DUGTRIO |
The FAQ's "capture both Diglett and Dugtrio here" is correct, and night is the
best time (8% vs 2% by day).
The FAQ's "ride your bike" is legal here: `BikeFunction`'s `.CheckEnvironment`
(`engine/events/overworld.asm:1665`) allows outdoor maps, `CAVE` and `GATE`.

text, `promptbutton`, `verbosegiveitem SILVER_WING`,
`setevent EVENT_GOT_SILVER_WING`. Note there is **no `iffalse` guard** on

otherwise `verbosegiveitem RAINBOW_WING`, `setevent EVENT_GOT_RAINBOW_WING`,
`setevent EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED`.
This gramps is the *second* source for the wing pair: the Radio Tower director

**Scripts of interest**
- `Chris` (`5a:46f5`): `faceplayer` / `opentext` / `trade NPC_TRADE_CHRIS` /
`waitbutton` / `closetext` / `end`. The trade row is
`data/events/npc_trades.asm:18`:
`npctrade TRADE_DIALOGSET_HAPPY, GLOOM, RAPIDASH, "RUNNY", $96, $66,
BURNT_BERRY, 15616, "CHRIS", TRADE_GENDER_EITHER` - the player gives GLOOM and
receives a RAPIDASH nicknamed RUNNY, DVs `$96/$66`, holding a BURNT_BERRY, OT
"CHRIS" ID 15616. The FAQ's "trade a Gloom for a Rapidash" is exact. Note the
NPC sprite is `SPRITE_POKEFAN_M`, not a lady.

Two consequences for a bot: (1) Camper Jerry is optional - beating Brock marks
him beaten; (2) the badge is a `setflag` on the ENGINE namespace, not an
`EVENT_*`.

## 4. Bot checklist
Coordinates are asm cell coordinates. "clear" / "set" refer to event flags.
1. `ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE` -> `ROUTE_19`: walk warp 3/4 at (4,7)/(5,7).
Precondition: none. Expect to be stopped; `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` is
clear, so blocks `(6,6) (8,6) (10,6) (12,8) (4,8) (10,10)` are rock. Turn
around through warp 1 at (7,3).
2. FLY to `VERMILION_CITY`. Precondition: `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VERMILION` set.
3. Open the Pokegear, RADIO card, tune the knob to 78 ("20.0"). Precondition:
`POKEGEAR_EXPN_CARD_F` set and the landmark is Kanto. Postcondition:
`wMapMusic == MUSIC_POKE_FLUTE_CHANNEL`.
4. Close the Pokegear and walk to one of (33,8) / (34,10) / (35,10) / (36,8) /

5. Battle: catch or defeat. Either way, postcondition
`EVENT_VERMILION_CITY_SNORLAX` set (object removed) and
`EVENT_FOUGHT_SNORLAX` set. **Save before step 4** - a failed catch is not
repeatable.

---
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Brock's party order.** The FAQ lists Graveler, Omastar, Rhyhorn, Onix,
Kabutops. `data/trainers/parties.asm:270` `BrockGroup` is Graveler (41),
**Rhyhorn (41), Omastar (42)**, Onix (44), Kabutops (42) - slots 2 and 3 are
swapped relative to the FAQ. Levels and species set match.
- **All the FAQ's prize money figures are exactly 4x the asm value.**
`ComputeTrainerReward` (`engine/battle/read_trainer_party.asm:300`) is
`base reward x last mon level`, with no multiplier. Brock 25 x 42 = 1050 (FAQ
says 4,200); Rob 4 x 32 = 128 (FAQ 512); Doug 4 x 34 = 136 (FAQ 544); Ed
4 x 30 = 120 (FAQ 480); Jerry 5 x 37 = 185 (FAQ 740). The FAQ's EXP figures
likewise do not come from GS. Treat the money/EXP numbers in this section as
belonging to a different game (most likely HeartGold/SoulSilver, which the
text references) and ignore them for a GS bot.
- **"Viridian Forest".** The FAQ says the Max Potion is "in Viridian Forest".
There is no Viridian Forest map in `constants/map_constants.asm`; the
MAX_POTION is `ROUTE2_POKE_BALL2` at (2,23) on `ROUTE_2`, in the area the
forest used to occupy.
- **"the man just to the right of the Pokemart".** `PEWTERCITY_GRAMPS` spawns at
(29,17) with a `WALK_LEFT_RIGHT` radius of 2 (so x 27..31); the mart door is
warp 3 at (23,17). He is to the right of the mart but not adjacent.
- **"The Pokemon Center has a lady".** The trade NPC is `Chris`, sprite
`SPRITE_POKEFAN_M` at (7,2). Male sprite, name CHRIS.
- **Which cut tree the FAQ means.** The two trees named in step 14 and step 17
above are inferred from the block dump of `maps/Route2.blk` plus the item/warp
positions; they are not labelled anywhere in asm. Three other `CUT_TREE`
blocks exist on Route 2 (see the cut-tree table) and one of those may be the
intended route instead. Verify with a real walk.
- **Diglett's Cave pocket connectivity.** The three-pocket reading is derived by
hand from `maps/DiglettsCave.blk` block ids against
`data/tilesets/kanto_collision.asm`; the per-tile collision of the "long cave"
interior was not fully traced, only that every warp block is reachable within
its pocket. The FAQ's described route is consistent with it.
- **"the route is cleared to Diglett's Cave and through Route 8".** Nothing in
`maps/VermilionCity.asm` or `maps/Route11.asm` gates Route 11 / Route 8 on the
Snorlax; the only thing `EVENT_FOUGHT_SNORLAX` unlocks outside Vermilion is the
right-hand Black Belt object in `maps/VictoryRoadGate.asm:119`. The Snorlax
blocks only the Diglett's Cave door tile at (34,7).
- **"Keep around those four Ultra Balls"** and the Rest/Thunder Wave catch
advice are strategy, not asm; nothing enforces a ball count.
- **`src/world/gen2/Bike.lua` CAVE permission.** Marked partial in section 5 -
the port file was read but the equivalent of `BikeFunction.CheckEnvironment`
(`engine/events/overworld.asm:1665`) was not located, so "you can bike through
Diglett's Cave in the port" is unverified.

# Section 25 - Lugia (Gold) and Ho-Oh (Silver)
Source: `../section-25-lugia-gold-and-ho-oh-silver.txt`
Maps covered: `ROUTE_41`, `WHIRL_ISLAND_NE`, `WHIRL_ISLAND_NW`, `WHIRL_ISLAND_SW`,
`WHIRL_ISLAND_SE`, `WHIRL_ISLAND_CAVE`, `WHIRL_ISLAND_B1F`, `WHIRL_ISLAND_B2F`,
`WHIRL_ISLAND_LUGIA_CHAMBER`, `ECRUTEAK_CITY`, `ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE`,
`ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_BACK_ENTRANCE`, `TIN_TOWER_1F` .. `TIN_TOWER_9F`,
`TIN_TOWER_ROOF`
Badges / key milestones in this section: no badges. The milestone is catching the
*other* version mascot post-Elite-Four - `EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA` /
`EVENT_FOUGHT_HO_OH`, armed by the wing the Pewter City gramps hands over
(`maps/PewterCity.asm`, `PewterCityGrampsScript`).
This section is two mutually exclusive branches. The walkthrough labels them
"Whirl Islands - Gold Version" and "Tin Tower - Silver Version", and the asm
agrees: `Script_checkver` (`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:1471`) returns
`GS_VERSION` (`constants/misc_constants.asm:21-23`: 0 = Gold, 1 = Silver), so on
each mascot the `checkver / iftrue .Silver` pair picks the level. In Gold, Lugia
is **level 70** and Ho-Oh was already caught at level 40; in Silver it is the
mirror image.
---
## 1. Route order
The walkthrough opens on the Magnet Train back to Johto - that hop belongs to the
neighbouring Kanto section, and the only thing this section needs from it is that
the player already holds the version-opposite wing.

## 2. Maps
### ROUTE_41
- Script: `maps/Route41.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route41.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:443` -> `TILESET_JOHTO`, `ROUTE`, `LANDMARK_ROUTE_41`, `MUSIC_ROUTE_36`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_AUTO`, `FISHGROUP_OCEAN`

Note the sight ranges: Kara is `4`, the widest on the route, which is why the
walkthrough uses her as the landmark for the northeast whirlpool ("the whirlpool
is just northwest of where you fought Swimmer Kara"). Her object sits at
`(44, 28)`; the trainer flag is `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_KARA`, so once beaten she is
still standing there (`event flag` on the row is `-1`, i.e. never masked) and
still walks into your path - the walkthrough's joke about swimmer stamina is
literally the object table.
**Scripts of interest**
- `TrainerSwimmerfKara` - `trainer SWIMMERF, KARA, EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_KARA, ...`.
Post-battle it only prints `SwimmerfKaraAfterBattleText` ("I heard roars from
deep inside the ISLANDS"). No flag beyond the beat flag, no gate.
**Whirlpools**: they are *map blocks*, not events. `data/collision/field_move_blocks.asm:48-55`
gives `WhirlpoolBlockPointers` -> `TILESET_JOHTO` -> `db $07, $36, 0` (facing
block `$07`, replacement `$36`, animation type 0). A bot that wants the whirlpool
coordinates has to scan `maps/Route41.blk` for block id `$07`; the collision
value under it is `COLL_WHIRLPOOL` `$24` (`constants/collision_constants.asm:27`,
tested by `CheckWhirlpoolTile`, `home/map_objects.asm:176-183`).
**Wild encounters**
- Surfing, `data/wild/johto_water.asm:170-181`, `def_water_wildmons ROUTE_41`,
encounter rate `6 percent`. Gold: `20 TENTACOOL`, `20 TENTACRUEL`, `20 MANTINE`.
Silver: `20 TENTACOOL`, `20 TENTACRUEL`, `15 TENTACOOL`.
- Fishing: header fish group is `FISHGROUP_OCEAN` (`data/wild/fish.asm:13`,
`.Ocean_Old/.Ocean_Good/.Ocean_Super`).
- The walkthrough's Max Repel advice is aimed squarely at this 6% table.

### WHIRL_ISLAND_NE

- Blocks: `maps/WhirlIslandNE.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:137` -> `TILESET_DARK_CAVE`, `CAVE`, `LANDMARK_WHIRL_ISLANDS`, `MUSIC_UNION_CAVE`, phone `TRUE`, `PALETTE_DARK`, `FISHGROUP_WHIRL_ISLANDS`

`WhirlIslandNEUltraBall` is a bare `itemball ULTRA_BALL`.

### WHIRL_ISLAND_NW
- Script: `maps/WhirlIslandNW.asm` - no scripts at all, warps only
- Blocks: `maps/WhirlIslandNW.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:136`, same row shape as NE

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7 | 5 | `WHIRL_ISLAND_B1F` | 9 |
| 2 | 3 | 13 | `WHIRL_ISLAND_NW` | 4 |
This is the "you can now head out the door to breathe, but that's pointless" room:
it is a pure corridor between B1F and the NW island.

### WHIRL_ISLAND_B1F
- Script: `maps/WhirlIslandB1F.asm` (`47:4096` `WhirlIslandB1F_MapScripts`)

The boulder at `(23, 26)` sits two tiles east of the Escape Rope ball and is the
only Strength object in the dungeon. The walkthrough never mentions it.
**Wild encounters**: grass/cave-floor, `data/wild/johto_grass.asm:1213-1239`,
`def_grass_wildmons WHIRL_ISLAND_B1F`, rates `6 percent` for all three times of
day, and the morn/day/nite slot lists are identical:
`23 KRABBY`, `24 ZUBAT`, `25 KRABBY`, `23 SEEL`, `24 GOLBAT`, `25 SEEL`, `25 SEEL`.
No water table for B1F.

`(6, 4)` is the single `MAX_REVIVE` in the whole Whirl Islands (see Unresolved
for the walkthrough's "Max Revive x2").
**Wild encounters**
- Floor: `data/wild/johto_grass.asm:1241-1267`, rate `6 percent`, identical to B1F
(`23 KRABBY / 24 ZUBAT / 25 KRABBY / 23 SEEL / 24 GOLBAT / 25 SEEL / 25 SEEL`).
- Water: `data/wild/johto_water.asm:86-91`, rate `4 percent`: `15 HORSEA`,
`20 HORSEA`, `20 TENTACRUEL`.
The "two items on the cliff but you can't reach those" line matches the two balls
on the west shelf (`(5, 12)` Max Elixer and `(10, 11)` Full Restore are reachable
from the other side of the floor; exactly which two the FAQ means is a `.blk`
question, see Unresolved).

### WHIRL_ISLAND_LUGIA_CHAMBER
- Script: `maps/WhirlIslandLugiaChamber.asm` (`47:418c` callback, `47:41a0 Lugia`)

- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:130` -> `10, 9` (group 3, map 65)
**Warps**
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | 13 | `WHIRL_ISLAND_B2F` | 3 |
**Coord events**: none. **BG events**: none.
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `WHIRLISLANDLUGIACHAMBER_LUGIA` | `SPRITE_LUGIA` | 9 | 5 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_POKEMON` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, palette `PAL_NPC_BLUE` | `Lugia` | `EVENT_WHIRL_ISLAND_LUGIA_CHAMBER_LUGIA` |
**Scripts of interest**
- `WhirlIslandLugiaChamberLugiaCallback` - `callback MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS`.
`checkevent EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA / iftrue .NoAppear`, then
`checkitem SILVER_WING / iftrue .Appear`, else `.NoAppear`. So Lugia is on the
map **only while the SILVER_WING is in the bag and the fight has not happened**.
The wing is a `checkitem`, not an event - selling or storing it makes Lugia
vanish again.
- `Lugia` (`47:41a0`) - `faceplayer`, `opentext`, `writetext LugiaText`
("Gyaaas!"), `cry LUGIA`, `pause 15`, `closetext`,
**`setevent EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA`**, `checkver`, `iftrue .Silver`.
- Gold arm: `loadvar VAR_BATTLETYPE, BATTLETYPE_FORCEITEM`,
`loadwildmon LUGIA, 70`, `startbattle`,
`disappear WHIRLISLANDLUGIACHAMBER_LUGIA`, `reloadmapafterbattle`, `end`.
- `.Silver`: identical but `loadwildmon LUGIA, 40`.
- `EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA` is set **before** the battle, so fleeing, fainting or
knocking it out all consume the encounter. This is exactly why the
walkthrough insists on saving first: there is no re-arm path in the asm.
- `BATTLETYPE_FORCEITEM` (`constants/battle_constants.asm:101`) makes
`InitEnemyMon`'s `.WildItem` arm hand over `wBaseItem1` unconditionally
(`engine/battle/core.asm:5765-5773`). Lugia's `data/pokemon/base_stats/lugia.asm`
row is `db NO_ITEM, NO_ITEM`, so it holds nothing - the forced-item type is
inherited boilerplate here.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA` | `constants/event_flags.asm:455` | read by the callback, set by `Lugia` before `startbattle` | one-shot. Once set, Lugia never reappears |
| `EVENT_WHIRL_ISLAND_LUGIA_CHAMBER_LUGIA` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1247` | the object row's mask flag, driven by `appear`/`disappear` | object visibility only |
| `EVENT_GOT_SILVER_WING` | `constants/event_flags.asm:130` | set by `PewterCityGrampsScript` (Gold) / `RadioTower5F` (Silver) | prerequisite for holding `SILVER_WING` |
**Wild encounters**
- Floor: `data/wild/johto_grass.asm:1269-1295`, rate `6 percent`:
`24 KRABBY`, `25 ZUBAT`, `26 KRABBY`, `24 SEEL`, `25 GOLBAT`, `26 SEEL`, `26 SEEL`.
- Water: `data/wild/johto_water.asm:93-98`, rate `4 percent`: `20 HORSEA`,
`20 TENTACRUEL`, `20 SEADRA`. This is the only Seadra slot in the dungeon, and
it is on the water directly in front of Lugia.
**Catch math** (`data/pokemon/base_stats/lugia.asm`): `db 3 ; catch rate`.
`UltraBallMultiplier` doubles it to 6; `HeavyBallMultiplier`
(`engine/items/item_effects.asm:752`) adds a flat offset by dex weight, and
Lugia's dex weight is `4760` tenths of a pound = 216 kg
(`data/pokemon/dex_entries/gold/lugia.asm`), which lands in the `+20` bracket ->
effective 23. Thard_Verad's tip in the FAQ is correct and is worth ~4x the Ultra
Ball rate.

### ECRUTEAK_CITY (transit only)
- Script: `maps/EcruteakCity.asm`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:173` -> `TILESET_JOHTO`, `TOWN`, `LANDMARK_ECRUTEAK_CITY`, `MUSIC_ECRUTEAK_CITY`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_AUTO`, `FISHGROUP_POND`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:159` -> `20, 18` (group 4, map 9)
**Warps** (only the rows this section uses)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |

There is a `bg_event 38, 10, BGEVENT_READ, TinTowerSign` next to the tower door.

### ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE
- Script: `maps/EcruteakTinTowerEntrance.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/EcruteakTinTowerEntrance.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:165` -> `TILESET_TOWER`, `INDOOR`, `LANDMARK_ECRUTEAK_CITY`, `MUSIC_ECRUTEAK_CITY`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_DAY`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:151` -> `10, 9` (group 4, map 1)
**Warps**
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 17 | `ECRUTEAK_CITY` | 3 |
| 2 | 5 | 17 | `ECRUTEAK_CITY` | 3 |
| 3 | 5 | 3 | `ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE` | 4 |
| 4 | 17 | 15 | `ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE` | 3 |
| 5 | 17 | 3 | `ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_BACK_ENTRANCE` | 3 |
Warps 3 and 4 are a self-referential pair: the map holds two disconnected
corridors and the "walk up the stairs" is a same-map teleport from `(5, 3)` to
`(17, 15)`.
**Coord events**
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_SAGE_BLOCKS` (0) | 4 | 7 | `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceSageBlocksLeft` (`52:400c`) | sage 2 side-steps LEFT, sage 1 is `moveobject`d to `(4, 6)` and `appear`ed, sage 2 `disappear`s |
| `SCENE_ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_SAGE_BLOCKS` (0) | 5 | 7 | `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceSageBlocksRight` (`52:4021`) | mirror image, sage 2 ends at `(5, 6)` |
Scene ids come from the `scene_script` macro's inline `const` block
(`macros/scripts/maps.asm:12-33`): `SAGE_BLOCKS` = 0, `NOOP` = 1. Both scene
bodies are `end`; the scene id exists only to arm/disarm the two coord events.
**BG events**: none.
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_SAGE1` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 4 | 6 | `STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceSageScript` (`52:4037`) | `EVENT_ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE_SAGE_LEFT` |
| `ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_SAGE2` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 5 | 6 | `STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceSageScript` | `EVENT_ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE_SAGE_RIGHT` |
| `ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_SAGE3` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 6 | 9 | `WANDER` (1,1) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceWanderingSageScript` (`52:404b`) | -1 |
| `ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_GRAMPS` | `SPRITE_GRAMPS` | 3 | 11 | `WANDER` (1,1) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceGrampsScript` | -1 |
Object rows are masked when their flag is **set** (`CheckObjectFlag`,
`engine/overworld/map_objects_2.asm:32-61`: `EventFlagAction`/`CHECK_FLAG`
non-zero -> `.masked`). `InitializeEventsScript`
(`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:438`, line 533) does
`setevent EVENT_ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE_SAGE_LEFT` at new game, so on a fresh
save only SAGE2 at `(5, 6)` is standing there.
**Scripts of interest**
- `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceSageScript` - `faceplayer`, `opentext`,
`checkflag ENGINE_FOGBADGE`, `iftrue .BlockPassage_GotFogBadge`. Both arms are
pure text (`EcruteakTinTowerEntranceSageText` vs `..._GotFogBadge`); **the
script never opens the path**.
- The actual unblock is `maps/EcruteakGym.asm:34`:
`setmapscene ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_ENTRANCE, SCENE_ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_NOOP`,
run in the same block as `setflag ENGINE_FOGBADGE` after beating Morty. With
the scene at `NOOP` the two coord events no longer match and the sage never
steps into the doorway. By section 25 the player has all 16 badges, so this is
already open - the walkthrough's "talk to the man and he'll let you through" is
flavour text, not a required action.
- `EcruteakTinTowerEntranceWanderingSageScript` - `checkevent EVENT_GOT_RAINBOW_WING`;
the post-wing line is "The TIN TOWER shook! A #MON must have returned to the
top!". This is the only in-map confirmation that Ho-Oh is now spawnable.

### ECRUTEAK_TIN_TOWER_BACK_ENTRANCE
- Script: `maps/EcruteakTinTowerBackEntrance.asm` - warps only, no scripts
- Blocks: `maps/EcruteakTinTowerBackEntrance.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:166` -> `TILESET_TRADITIONAL_HOUSE`, `INDOOR`, `LANDMARK_ECRUTEAK_CITY`, `MUSIC_ECRUTEAK_CITY`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_DAY`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:152` -> `4, 4` (group 4, map 2)

### TIN_TOWER_1F
- Script: `maps/TinTower1F.asm` (`42:4b1d TinTowerSageScript`)
- Blocks: `maps/TinTower1F.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:82` -> `TILESET_TOWER`, `DUNGEON`, `LANDMARK_TIN_TOWER`, `MUSIC_TIN_TOWER`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_DAY`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:69` -> `10, 9` (group 3, map 4)
**Warps**
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | 15 | `ECRUTEAK_CITY` | 12 |
| 2 | 10 | 15 | `ECRUTEAK_CITY` | 12 |
| 3 | 10 | 2 | `TIN_TOWER_2F` | 2 |
**Coord events**: none. **BG events**: none.
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `TINTOWER1F_SAGE` | `SPRITE_SAGE` | 10 | 2 | `STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | `TinTowerSageScript` | `EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED` |
**This is the real gate for the whole Silver branch.** The sage's coordinates are
`(10, 2)`, byte-for-byte the coordinates of warp 3. While the object is visible
the stair tile is occupied and 2F is unreachable. The object is masked - i.e. the
sage disappears - when `EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED`
(`constants/event_flags.asm:1283`) is **set**, and that flag is only ever set by
the two Rainbow Wing hand-offs:
- `maps/RadioTower5F.asm:124-130` (Gold): `verbosegiveitem RAINBOW_WING` (124),
`setevent EVENT_GOT_RAINBOW_WING` (129), `setevent EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED` (130).
- `maps/PewterCity.asm:42-51` `.RainbowWing` (Silver): the gramps gives
`RAINBOW_WING` (49), `setevent EVENT_GOT_RAINBOW_WING` (50),
`setevent EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED` (51).
So the walkthrough's "another bald man will let you through because you have the
beautiful Rainbow Wing" is literally true, but the mechanism is a masked object
keyed on `EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED`, not a `checkitem RAINBOW_WING`.
**Wild encounters**: none - `TIN_TOWER_1F` has no `def_grass_wildmons` row
(`data/wild/johto_grass.asm` starts the tower at `TIN_TOWER_2F`, line 61).

### TIN_TOWER_2F
- Script: `maps/TinTower2F.asm` - warps only
- Blocks: `maps/TinTower2F.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:83`; Dimensions `constants/map_constants.asm:70` -> `10, 9` (group 3, map 5)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 14 | `TIN_TOWER_3F` | 1 |
| 2 | 10 | 2 | `TIN_TOWER_1F` | 3 |
**Wild encounters**: `data/wild/johto_grass.asm:61-87`,
`def_grass_wildmons TIN_TOWER_2F`, rates `2 percent` morn/day/nite.
- morn/day: `20 RATTATA`, `21 RATTATA`, `22 RATTATA`, `22 RATTATA`, `23 RATTATA`, `24 RATTATA`, `24 RATTATA`
- nite: `20 GASTLY`, `21 GASTLY`, `22 GASTLY`, `22 RATTATA`, `23 RATTATA`, `24 RATTATA`, `24 RATTATA`
Every floor 2F..9F carries the identical table (checked 2F at line 61 and 9F at
line 257). The walkthrough only lists Rattata; Gastly at night is real.

### TIN_TOWER_ROOF
- Script: `maps/TinTowerRoof.asm` (`5b:68ff` callback, `5b:6913 TinTowerHoOh`)
- Blocks: `maps/TinTowerRoof.blk` (`2b:62b9`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:344` -> `TILESET_TOWER`, **`ROUTE`**, `LANDMARK_TIN_TOWER`, `MUSIC_TIN_TOWER`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_AUTO`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:318` -> `10, 9`, and note the group:
`TIN_TOWER_ROOF` is map 12 of **group 15 (`FAST_SHIP`)**, not group 3 with the
rest of the tower.
**Warps**
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | 13 | `TIN_TOWER_9F` | 4 |
**Coord events**: none. **BG events**: none.
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `TINTOWERROOF_HO_OH` | `SPRITE_HO_OH` | 9 | 5 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_POKEMON` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, palette `PAL_NPC_RED` | `TinTowerHoOh` | `EVENT_TIN_TOWER_ROOF_HO_OH` |
**Scripts of interest**
- `TinTowerRoofHoOhCallback` - `callback MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS`:
`checkevent EVENT_FOUGHT_HO_OH / iftrue .NoAppear`, then
`checkitem RAINBOW_WING / iftrue .Appear`. Same shape as Lugia's: the wing must
be **in the bag**, not merely once-received.
- `TinTowerHoOh` (`5b:6913`) - text "Shaoooh!", `cry HO_OH`, `pause 15`,
`setevent EVENT_FOUGHT_HO_OH` **before** the fight, `checkver / iftrue .Silver`.
- Gold arm: `loadwildmon HO_OH, 40`.
- `.Silver`: `loadwildmon HO_OH, 70` - the level the walkthrough quotes.
- Both arms run `loadvar VAR_BATTLETYPE, BATTLETYPE_FORCEITEM` first, and
Ho-Oh's base row is `db SACRED_ASH, SACRED_ASH`
(`data/pokemon/base_stats/ho_oh.asm:9`), so **Ho-Oh always holds a SACRED_ASH**.
That is a guaranteed item a bot should strip before/after the catch.
**Escape Rope caveat**: `EscapeRopeFunction` -> `.CheckCanDig`
(`engine/events/overworld.asm:724-754`) only succeeds when
`GetMapEnvironment` is `CAVE` or `DUNGEON`. `TIN_TOWER_ROOF` is `ROUTE`, so the
walkthrough is right that you must go back down to 9F first. Every Whirl Island
map including `WHIRL_ISLAND_LUGIA_CHAMBER` is `CAVE`, so the rope works on the
spot there.
**Catch math**: Ho-Oh's catch rate is also `3`
(`data/pokemon/base_stats/ho_oh.asm:7`). Its dex weight is `4390`
(`data/pokemon/dex_entries/gold/ho_oh.asm`) = 199 kg, which falls in the
`HeavyBallMultiplier` "add 0" bracket - so unlike Lugia, a Heavy Ball is *worse*
than an Ultra Ball on Ho-Oh.

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reaching Route 41 at all | `SurfFunction.TrySurf`, `engine/events/overworld.asm:322` (badge test at `:340`) | `ENGINE_FOGBADGE` + a party member that knows `SURF` | Fog Badge (Morty) |
| Whirlpools guarding the Whirl Islands | `WhirlpoolFunction` `engine/events/overworld.asm:1061` (badge test at `:1077`) and `TryWhirlpoolOW` `:1167` (badge test at `:1171`) | `ENGINE_GLACIERBADGE` + `WHIRLPOOL` in the party | Glacier Badge (Pryce, badge 7) - **not** eight badges, see Unresolved |
| Darkness inside every Whirl Island map | `FlashFunction.CheckUseFlash`, `engine/events/overworld.asm:271` | `ENGINE_ZEPHYRBADGE` + `FLASH`, and `wTimeOfDayPalset == DARKNESS_PALSET` (the map header's `PALETTE_DARK`) | Zephyr Badge. Flash is *refused* on any non-dark map, so a bot must only try it inside |
| Climbing back up the B2F waterfall | `WaterfallFunction` `engine/events/overworld.asm:611` (badge test at `:618`) and `TryWaterfallOW` `:683` (badge test at `:687`); direction check `CheckMapCanWaterfall` (must face UP, `wTileUp` is a waterfall tile) | `ENGINE_RISINGBADGE` + `WATERFALL` | Rising Badge (Clair). Descending needs nothing - only the UP direction is gated |
| B1F boulder at `(23, 26)` | `WhirlIslandB1FBoulder` -> `jumpstd StrengthBoulderScript` | `STRENGTH` + `ENGINE_PLAINBADGE` | optional; not on the Lugia path |
| Lugia not on the map | `WhirlIslandLugiaChamberLugiaCallback` | `checkitem SILVER_WING` true **and** `EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA` clear | `EVENT_GOT_SILVER_WING` via `PewterCityGrampsScript` (Gold) or `RadioTower5F` (Silver) - and keep the wing in the bag |
| Ho-Oh not on the map | `TinTowerRoofHoOhCallback` | `checkitem RAINBOW_WING` true **and** `EVENT_FOUGHT_HO_OH` clear | `EVENT_GOT_RAINBOW_WING` via `RadioTower5F` (Gold) or `PewterCityGrampsScript` `.RainbowWing` (Silver) |
| Tin Tower stairs to 2F | `TinTower1F` object row: sage stands on `(10, 2)`, masked by `EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED` | flag must be **set** | `setevent EVENT_TEAM_ROCKET_DISBANDED` in `maps/RadioTower5F.asm:130` or `maps/PewterCity.asm:51` |
| Tin Tower entrance corridor | `coord_event 4, 7` / `5, 7` under `SCENE_ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_SAGE_BLOCKS` | scene must be `NOOP` | `maps/EcruteakGym.asm:34` `setmapscene ... SCENE_ECRUTEAKTINTOWERENTRANCE_NOOP` on the Fog Badge |
| One-shot mascot | `Lugia` / `TinTowerHoOh` set `EVENT_FOUGHT_LUGIA` / `EVENT_FOUGHT_HO_OH` **before** `startbattle` | n/a | none. Save-before-fight is the only recovery |
---
## 4. Bot checklist
**Preconditions for either branch**: 8 Johto badges (Zephyr, Fog, Plain, Glacier,

## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map headers, warps, coord/bg/object events for all of these maps | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` (walks all 26 map groups, `MAP_GROUP_COUNT` at line 47), consumed by `src/world/gen2/Map.lua` / `World.lua` | implemented (generic - no map-specific code, so these maps come in with everything else) |
| `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS` (the Lugia / Ho-Oh appear-check) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5700` `runMapCallback("MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS")`; regression driver `tests/drivers/gold_map_callbacks.lua` | implemented |
| Object masking by event flag (`CheckObjectFlag`) - the Tin Tower 1F sage, every item ball | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5106,5122` `events:objectVisible(obj.eventFlag)` | implemented |
| `checkver` version split (Lv70 vs Lv40 mascot) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:774-783`; opcode table `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:29` | implemented (comments even cite `WhirlIslandLugiaChamber` by name) |
| `loadwildmon` / `startbattle` / `reloadmapafterbattle` | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:98-101`, `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:817-896` | implemented |
| `BATTLETYPE_FORCEITEM` -> Ho-Oh's guaranteed `SACRED_ASH` | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:107-111` and `:4571-4579` | implemented |
| Whirlpool field move, badge gate and block replacement | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:109` (`WHIRLPOOL = "GLACIER"`), `:219` `WHIRLPOOL_BLOCKS`, `:247` `somethingToWhirlpool`, `:542` `whirlpoolFromMenu`, `:626` `tryWhirlpoolOW` | implemented |
| Flash + `PALETTE_DARK` darkness | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:105,468`; `src/world/gen2/Palettes.lua:53,75-103` | implemented |
| Waterfall (up-only gate, `RISINGBADGE`) | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:110,258,646` | implemented |
| Hidden items (`hiddenitem` bg events) | `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua:1373,5286` | implemented |
| Catch rate formula incl. the two cart bugs | `src/battle/gen2/Catching.lua:1-90` | implemented |
| **Heavy Ball weight bonus** (the FAQ's Lugia tip) | `src/battle/gen2/Catching.lua:36` - `HEAVY_BALL = 1`, a flat multiplier with a comment saying the specialty balls "key off conditions the caller supplies", and no dex-weight lookup anywhere | **missing** - a Heavy Ball currently behaves as a plain Poke Ball on Lugia |
| Magnet Train hop that opens the section | `src/core/gen2/MagnetTrain.lua` | implemented (not re-verified for this section) |
| Escape Rope environment check (`CAVE`/`DUNGEON` only, roof excluded) | not located in `src/world/gen2/` or `src/battle/gen2/` by grep | **unverified** - could not find an `EscapeRopeFunction` equivalent; a bot should not assume the roof refusal is modelled |
| Hand-ported scripts for these specific maps | none - grep for `whirl`/`tintower`/`lugia`/`hooh` across `src/` returns only battle-anim and title-screen hits | not applicable (all script bodies are extracted, run through `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua`) |
---
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
1. **"You'll need eight badges in order to use Whirlpool."** The asm gates
Whirlpool on `ENGINE_GLACIERBADGE` alone (`engine/events/overworld.asm:1077`
and `:1171`), i.e. seven badges. Eight is wrong, though harmless in practice
for a post-game section.
2. **Whirl Islands item list.** The FAQ lists Calcium, Escape Rope, Guard Specs,
Max Revive x2, Ultra Ball. The asm has *one* Max Revive in the entire dungeon
(`WhirlIslandB2FMaxRevive` at B2F `(6, 4)`) and additionally a `FULL_RESTORE`,
`CARBOS`, `NUGGET` on B1F, a second `FULL_RESTORE` and a `MAX_ELIXER` on B2F,
plus three hidden items on B1F that the FAQ never mentions. The walkthrough's
two "grab the Max Revive" beats cannot both be the B2F ball; the first one is
unlocatable.
3. **Tin Tower item list.** The FAQ names a PP Up, an HP Up, a Max Potion item
ball, and a second Full Heal. None exist in pokegold: there is no `PP_UP` or
`HP_UP` anywhere in `maps/TinTower*.asm`, the only Max Potion is the *hidden*
`TinTower4FHiddenMaxPotion` at `(11, 6)`, and the only Full Heal is
`TinTower3FFullHeal`. Conversely the FAQ omits `SUPER_POTION` (4F),
`NUGGET`/`FULL_RESTORE` (8F) and the three hidden items on 4F/5F. The list
looks like it was written against a different version of the game.
4. **"On the next level, go up and you'll get a Max Potion ... Full Heal"** places
two items on the 6F-shaped floor; `maps/TinTower6F.asm` has an empty
`def_bg_events` and an empty `def_object_events`. Not locatable.
5. **Ho-Oh's moveset.** The FAQ says "Safeguard and Ancient Power ..., Punishment,
and Sacred Fire". `PUNISHMENT` does not exist in Gen 2 at all
(`data/pokemon/evos_attacks.asm:3324-3336` is the whole learnset). Derived
from that table plus `FillMoves` (`engine/pokemon/evolve.asm:478`, which keeps
the last four moves learnable at or below the level), a level-70 Ho-Oh should
have `RECOVER`, `FIRE_BLAST`, `SUNNY_DAY`, `SWIFT`, and a level-40 one
`SACRED_FIRE`, `SAFEGUARD`, `GUST`, `RECOVER`. Worth confirming in-engine
before a bot plans around Sacred Fire; the `FillMoves` derivation is mine, not
a literal table in the asm.
6. **Lugia's Pokemon list at the Whirl Islands.** The FAQ lists Zubat, Seel,
Krabby, Horsea, Seadra and omits `GOLBAT` (in every grass slot 5),
`TENTACOOL` / `TENTACRUEL` (SW and B2F water). Seadra only appears in
`WHIRL_ISLAND_LUGIA_CHAMBER`'s water table.
7. **"Swimmer Kara" as a whirlpool landmark.** Her object is at `(44, 28)` on
Route 41; the whirlpool "just northwest" of her is a `.blk` block, not an
event, so the exact coordinate could not be pinned from the asm text. A bot
must scan `maps/Route41.blk` for `TILESET_JOHTO` block `$07`.
8. **The Whirl Islands ledge/jump routing** ("leap the ledge to the right on that
bike", "two items on the cliff but you can't reach those") is entirely block
and collision data in `maps/WhirlIsland*.blk`. None of it is expressible from
the event tables; a bot needs the decoded block/collision grid.
9. **The Tin Tower jump-platform routing** (the long "left x5, down, right x2 ..."
sequences) is likewise `.blk` data. Only the warp endpoints above are asm
facts.
10. **"go into the Bell Tower entry house"** - the map, the sign and every text
string in pokegold call it TIN TOWER (`TinTowerSign`,
`EcruteakTinTowerEntranceSageText`). "Bell Tower" is the post-GS rename.
11. **Escape Rope on the port.** Could not find the port's equivalent of
`EscapeRopeFunction`'s `CAVE`/`DUNGEON` environment check, so I cannot say
whether the port correctly refuses the rope on `TIN_TOWER_ROOF`.

Column order comes from `macros/scripts/maps.asm:113` (`object_event x, y, sprite, movement, radius_x, radius_y, hour1, hour2, palette, type, sight_range, script, event_flag`). All four here have radius 0/0 and hour limits `-1, -1` (always present).
**Scripts of interest**
- `TrainerFirebreatherOtis` / `TrainerYoungsterWarren` / `TrainerYoungsterJimmy` / `TrainerFirebreatherBurt`: each is a plain `trainer CLASS, ID, EVENT_BEAT_*, SeenText, BeatenText, 0, .Script` header. `.Script` is `endifjustbattled / opentext / writetext <After>Text / waitbutton / closetext / end`. No items, no flags beyond the trainer's own beaten flag, no warps.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_BEAT_FIREBREATHER_OTIS` | `constants/event_flags.asm:576` | `trainer` header | set on win; trainer will not re-challenge |

**Items**
None on this map.
**Trainers**

| `BURT` | `FIREBREATHER` | FIREBREATHER (4), line 2353 | L32 KOFFING, L32 SLUGMA | `TrainerFirebreatherBurt` | none |
All four are `TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL`, i.e. level+species only, moves come from the learnset.
**Wild encounters**
`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:314` `def_grass_wildmons ROUTE_3`, rates `10 percent, 10 percent, 10 percent` (morn/day/nite). The table is version-split:
- `IF DEF(_GOLD)` - morn/day: L5 SPEAROW, L5 RATTATA, L8 SPEAROW, L6 JIGGLYPUFF, L10 RATTATA, L8 SPEAROW, L8 SPEAROW; nite: L5 RATTATA, L5 ZUBAT, L8 RATTATA, L6 JIGGLYPUFF, L10 RATTATA, L8 RATTATA, L8 RATTATA.

### MAP_MOUNT_MOON
- Script: `maps/MountMoon.asm` (`MountMoon_MapEvents` = `42:587e`, `MountMoonRivalBattleScript` = `42:55b0`)
- Blocks: `maps/MountMoon.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:154` -> `map MountMoon, TILESET_CAVE, CAVE, LANDMARK_MT_MOON, MUSIC_MT_MOON, TRUE, PALETTE_NITE, FISHGROUP_SHORE` (the `TRUE` column is the phone/"requires flash-style" fixed palette flag position in the `map` macro; palette is `PALETTE_NITE`, so the cave is dark-toned regardless of clock)
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:141` -> `map_const MOUNT_MOON, 15, 9` (15x9 blocks = 30x18 walk cells), group `CERULEAN`-adjacent index 76 in its group listing
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:488` -> `map_attributes MountMoon, MOUNT_MOON, $09`. **No connections** - the map is entered and left only through warps.
- Scene var: `data/maps/scenes.asm:46` -> `wMountMoonSceneID`
**Scene scripts** (`def_scene_scripts`, ids allocated from 0 by `macros/scripts/maps.asm:12`)
| scene id | constant | script |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | `SCENE_MOUNTMOON_RIVAL_BATTLE` | `MountMoonRivalEncounterScene` -> `sdefer MountMoonRivalBattleScript` |
| 1 | `SCENE_MOUNTMOON_NOOP` | `MountMoonNoopScene` -> `end` |
Nothing in the game sets scene 0; it is the power-on default, so the very first entry to Mt. Moon fires the rival cutscene. `RunSceneScript` is polled in `engine/overworld/events.asm:256`, after `CheckTrainerEvent` and `CheckTileEvent`, so it lands on the first player-event poll after the warp completes.
**Callbacks**: none.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 3 | `ROUTE_3` | 1 |
| 2 | 15 | 15 | `ROUTE_4` | 1 |
| 3 | 13 | 3 | `MOUNT_MOON` | 7 |
| 4 | 15 | 11 | `MOUNT_MOON` | 8 |
| 5 | 25 | 5 | `MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE` | 1 |
| 6 | 25 | 15 | `MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE` | 2 |
| 7 | 25 | 3 | `MOUNT_MOON` | 3 |
| 8 | 25 | 13 | `MOUNT_MOON` | 4 |
Warps 3<->7 and 4<->8 are the two internal ladder pairs. Read as a graph:
`ROUTE_3 -(1)- (3,3) ... (13,3) -(3/7)- (25,3) ... (25,5) -(5)- SQUARE`
and `SQUARE -(2/6)- (25,15) ... (25,13) -(8/4)- (15,11) ... (15,15) -(2)- ROUTE_4`.
**Coord events**: none. **BG events**: none.
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `MOUNTMOON_RIVAL` | `SPRITE_RIVAL` | 7 | 3 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_LEFT` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, sight 0 | `ObjectEvent` (the shared ROM0 stub) | `EVENT_MT_MOON_RIVAL` |
Flag semantics (`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:879-898`): `appear` clears the object's event flag, `disappear` sets it. `EVENT_MT_MOON_RIVAL` therefore starts **clear** = rival visible, and `disappear MOUNTMOON_RIVAL` at the end of the cutscene sets it = rival gone forever.
**Scripts of interest**
`MountMoonRivalBattleScript` (`42:55b0`), reached through `sdefer` from scene 0:
1. `turnobject PLAYER, RIGHT`, `showemote EMOTE_SHOCK, PLAYER, 15`, `special FadeOutMusic`, `pause 15`.
2. `applymovement MOUNTMOON_RIVAL, MountMoonRivalMovementBefore` = three `step LEFT` (rival walks from (7,3) toward the player at the (3,3) entrance).
3. `playmusic MUSIC_RIVAL_ENCOUNTER`, `opentext`, `writetext MountMoonRivalTextBefore`, `waitbutton`, `closetext`.
4. Starter branch:
- `checkevent EVENT_GOT_TOTODILE_FROM_ELM` -> `.Totodile` -> `loadtrainer RIVAL2, RIVAL2_1_CHIKORITA`
- `checkevent EVENT_GOT_CHIKORITA_FROM_ELM` -> `.Chikorita` -> `loadtrainer RIVAL2, RIVAL2_1_CYNDAQUIL`
- fallthrough (player took Cyndaquil) -> `loadtrainer RIVAL2, RIVAL2_1_TOTODILE`
Note the label names describe the *player's* starter; the constant names describe the *rival's*. Each arm does `winlosstext MountMoonRivalTextWin, MountMoonRivalTextLoss`, `setlasttalked MOUNTMOON_RIVAL`, `startbattle`, `dontrestartmapmusic`, `reloadmapafterbattle`.
5. `.FinishBattle`: `playmusic MUSIC_RIVAL_AFTER`, after-text, `turnobject PLAYER, UP`, `turnobject PLAYER, RIGHT`, `applymovement MOUNTMOON_RIVAL, MountMoonRivalMovementAfter` (`RIGHT, RIGHT, DOWN x5`), `disappear MOUNTMOON_RIVAL`, `setscene SCENE_MOUNTMOON_NOOP`, `setevent EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON`, `playmapmusic`, `end`.
The battle is unavoidable: there is no `iftrue` skip and no branch that reaches the rest of the map without running it, because the scene id is 0 until `setscene` runs at the very end of the script.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_MT_MOON_RIVAL` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1308` | object row; `disappear` in `MountMoonRivalBattleScript` | clear = rival object on the map |
| `EVENT_BEAT_RIVAL_IN_MT_MOON` | `constants/event_flags.asm:456` | set here; read by `maps/DragonsDenB1F.asm:13` and `maps/IndigoPlateauPokecenter1F.asm:45,67` | unlocks both post-game rival re-encounters |
| `EVENT_GOT_TOTODILE_FROM_ELM` | `constants/event_flags.asm:37` | read here | selects rival party |
| `EVENT_GOT_CHIKORITA_FROM_ELM` | `constants/event_flags.asm:38` | read here | selects rival party |
| `SCENE_MOUNTMOON_RIVAL_BATTLE` = 0 | `maps/MountMoon.asm:6` (allocated by `def_scene_scripts`) | `wMountMoonSceneID` | 0 = cutscene armed |
| `SCENE_MOUNTMOON_NOOP` = 1 | `maps/MountMoon.asm:7` | `setscene` at end of script | 1 = cutscene spent |
**Items**: none on this map.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm`) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `RIVAL2_1_CHIKORITA` | `RIVAL2` (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:424`) | RIVAL2 (1), line 2042 | L41 SNEASEL (Quick Attack, Screech, Faint Attack, Fury Cutter); L42 GOLBAT (Leech Life, Bite, Confuse Ray, Wing Attack); L41 MAGNETON (ThunderShock, SonicBoom, Thunder Wave, Swift); L43 GENGAR (Mean Look, Curse, Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray); L43 ALAKAZAM (Disable, Recover, Future Sight, Psychic); **L45 MEGANIUM** (Razor Leaf, PoisonPowder, Body Slam, Light Screen) | `MountMoonRivalBattleScript` `.Totodile` | rematch at Indigo Plateau / Dragon's Den, see gates |

| `RIVAL2_1_TOTODILE` | `RIVAL2` | RIVAL2 (3), line 2062 | same first five, **L45 FERALIGATR** (Rage, Water Gun, Scary Face, Slash) | fallthrough | same |
`TRAINERTYPE_MOVES`, so the four move slots above are exactly what the rival fields. `RIVAL2_2_*` (rows 4-6, levels 45-50 with Crobat) are the Indigo Plateau rematch parties, not this fight.
**Wild encounters**
`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:33` `def_grass_wildmons MOUNT_MOON`, rates `6 percent, 6 percent, 6 percent`.
- `IF DEF(_GOLD)` - identical morn/day/nite: L6 ZUBAT, L8 GEODUDE, L8 SANDSHREW, L12 PARAS, L10 SANDSLASH, L8 CLEFAIRY, L8 CLEFAIRY.
- `ELIF DEF(_SILVER)` - L6 ZUBAT, L8 GEODUDE, L8 ZUBAT, L12 PARAS, L10 GEODUDE, L8 CLEFAIRY, L8 CLEFAIRY.
The walkthrough's "Zubat / Parus [sic, Paras] / Geodude" is a subset of both columns. Gold additionally has Sandshrew and Sandslash, and both versions have a 2-slot Clefairy line the walkthrough does not mention.

### MAP_MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE
- Script: `maps/MountMoonSquare.asm` (`MountMoonSquare_MapEvents` = `5b:6827`, `ClefairyDance` = `5b:676a`)
- Blocks: `maps/MountMoonSquare.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:342` -> `map MountMoonSquare, TILESET_KANTO, ROUTE, LANDMARK_MT_MOON, MUSIC_MT_MOON_SQUARE, FALSE, PALETTE_AUTO, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:316` -> `map_const MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE, 15, 9` (30x18 walk cells), group `FAST_SHIP`
- Attributes: `data/maps/attributes.asm:595` -> `$2d`, no connections
- Scene var: `data/maps/scenes.asm:66` -> `wMountMoonSquareSceneID`
**Scene scripts**
| scene id | constant | script |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | `SCENE_MOUNTMOONSQUARE_CLEFAIRY_DANCE` | `MountMoonSquareNoopScene` -> `end` (the constant only exists to name the coord_event's scene, the scene script itself is a no-op and the id is never changed) |
**Callbacks**
- `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` -> `MountMoonSquareDisappearMoonStoneCallback`: `setevent EVENT_MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE_HIDDEN_MOON_STONE` / `endcallback`. Every fresh entry re-hides the Moon Stone.
- `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS` -> `MountMoonSquareDisappearRockCallback`: `disappear MOUNTMOONSQUARE_ROCK` / `endcallback`. The smashable rock is hidden on every object refresh; it exists on-screen only during the dance cutscene, which `appear`s it mid-script.
**Warps**
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 5 | `MOUNT_MOON` | 5 |
| 2 | 22 | 11 | `MOUNT_MOON` | 6 |

**Coord events**
| scene | x | y | script label | effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SCENE_MOUNTMOONSQUARE_CLEFAIRY_DANCE` (0) | 7 | 11 | `ClefairyDance` (`5b:676a`) | the Monday-night Clefairy cutscene; always armed because the scene id is never advanced |
**BG events**
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | `BGEVENT_ITEM` | `MountMoonSquareHiddenMoonStone` (`5b:67e8`) = `hiddenitem MOON_STONE, EVENT_MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE_HIDDEN_MOON_STONE` |
| 17 | 7 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `DontLitterSign` -> `DontLitterSignText` |
**Object events**
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `MOUNTMOONSQUARE_FAIRY1` | `SPRITE_FAIRY` | 6 | 6 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, sight 0 | `ObjectEvent` | `EVENT_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY` |
| `MOUNTMOONSQUARE_FAIRY2` | `SPRITE_FAIRY` | 7 | 6 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, sight 0 | `ObjectEvent` | `EVENT_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY` |
| `MOUNTMOONSQUARE_ROCK` | `SPRITE_ROCK` | 7 | 7 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SMASHABLE_ROCK` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT`, sight 0 | `MtMoonSquareRock` (`5b:67ee`) = `jumpstd SmashRockScript` | `EVENT_MT_MOON_SQUARE_ROCK` |
**Scripts of interest**
`ClefairyDance` - the whole cutscene is guarded by three conditions in a row, all of which must pass:
```
checkflag ENGINE_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY ; iftrue .NoDancing (once per save)
readvar VAR_WEEKDAY / ifnotequal MONDAY, .NoDancing
checktime NITE / iffalse .NoDancing
```
Then: `appear` both fairies, `applymovement PLAYER, PlayerWalksUpToDancingClefairies` (one `step UP`, so the player ends on (7, 10)), `pause 15`, `appear MOUNTMOONSQUARE_ROCK`, a long `follow`/`applymovement`/`cry CLEFAIRY` dance across `ClefairyDanceStep1..7`, `showemote EMOTE_SHOCK` when the Clefairy notice the player, `applymovement ... ClefairyFleeMovement`, `disappear` both fairies, `stopfollow`, then the payoff:
```
clearevent EVENT_MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE_HIDDEN_MOON_STONE
setflag ENGINE_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY
```
So the Moon Stone at bg_event (7, 7) becomes takeable, but the rock object was `appear`ed onto that exact cell during the cutscene and is only cleared by `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS` on the next map load. That is the asm behind Thard_Verad's "Bring Rock Smash": you either smash the rock at (7, 7) in the same visit, or leave and come back (the `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` callback then re-sets the Moon Stone flag and re-hides the item, so leaving loses it). See section 6.
`MtMoonSquareRock` -> `jumpstd SmashRockScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:199`) -> `farsjump AskRockSmashScript` (`engine/events/overworld.asm:1365`), which is `callasm HasRockSmash` (`engine/events/overworld.asm:1386`: `ld d, ROCK_SMASH / call CheckPartyMove`) then a yes/no prompt. **No badge check** - Rock Smash in Gen 2 is TM08, not an HM.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE_HIDDEN_MOON_STONE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:236` | set by `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`; cleared at the end of `ClefairyDance`; consumed by `hiddenitem` | set = Moon Stone not present |
| `EVENT_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1307` | object rows; `appear`/`disappear` in `ClefairyDance` | clear = the two Clefairy are on the map (only during the cutscene) |
| `EVENT_MT_MOON_SQUARE_ROCK` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1306` | object row; `disappear` in the OBJECTS callback, `appear` mid-cutscene | clear = rock is standing on (7, 7) |
| `ENGINE_MT_MOON_SQUARE_CLEFAIRY` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:106` | `checkflag`/`setflag` in `ClefairyDance` | set = the dance has been seen once and will never replay |
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `MOON_STONE` | hidden item on (7, 7), only after the Clefairy dance clears its flag | `bg_event 7, 7, BGEVENT_ITEM, MountMoonSquareHiddenMoonStone` | `EVENT_MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE_HIDDEN_MOON_STONE` |
**Trainers**: none. **Wild encounters**: no `MOUNT_MOON_SQUARE` entry in `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm` or `kanto_water.asm`.

### MAP_MOUNT_MOON_GIFT_SHOP
- Script: `maps/MountMoonGiftShop.asm` (`MountMoonGiftShop_MapEvents` = `5b:68b6`, `MountMoonGiftShopClerkScript` = `5b:6877`)
- Blocks: `data/maps/blocks.asm:701` -> `INCBIN "maps/GiftShop.blk"` (shared blocks file, no `MountMoonGiftShop.blk`)

The `hour1 = -1` form means `hour2` is a time-of-day mask (`macros/scripts/maps.asm:123`). **There is no NITE clerk**: at night the shop is unattended, which the walkthrough does not mention.
**Scripts of interest**
`MountMoonGiftShopClerkScript`: `faceplayer / opentext / pokemart MARTTYPE_STANDARD, MART_MT_MOON / closetext / end`.
**Items** (`MartMtMoon`, `data/items/marts.asm:374`, 6 items)

**Scripts of interest**
All three trainer scripts are the standard `endifjustbattled / opentext / writetext <After>Text / waitbutton / closetext / end`. `Route4HPUp` is not bytecode at all - `itemball HP_UP` is two raw bytes (`macros/scripts/maps.asm`, `dwb`-style), read by the engine's item-ball path rather than the script VM.
**Flags and events**

`TRAINERHOUSEB1F_CHRIS` is the opponent sprite in the battle room; `setlasttalked TRAINERHOUSEB1F_CHRIS` points the battle at it.
**Scripts of interest**
`TrainerHouseReceptionistScript`:
1. `turnobject PLAYER, UP`, `opentext`.
2. `checkflag ENGINE_FOUGHT_IN_TRAINER_HALL_TODAY` -> `iftrue .FoughtTooManyTimes` (refusal text, `applymovement PLAYER, Movement_TrainerHouseTurnBack`).
3. `special TrainerHouse` (`engine/events/specials.asm:454`: reads `sMysteryGiftTrainerHouseFlag` into `wScriptVar`). True -> name from `gettrainername STRING_BUFFER_3, CAL, CAL2`; false -> `CAL, CAL3`.
4. `yesorno`. No -> `.Declined`. Yes -> `setflag ENGINE_FOUGHT_IN_TRAINER_HALL_TODAY`, text, `applymovement PLAYER, Movement_EnterTrainerHouseBattleRoom` (`LEFT x3, DOWN x8, LEFT, turn_head RIGHT`).
5. `special TrainerHouse` again. True -> `loadtrainer CAL, CAL2`; false -> `.NoSpecialBattle` -> `loadtrainer CAL, CAL3`. Both arms `winlosstext TrainerHouseB1FCalBeatenText, 0`, `setlasttalked TRAINERHOUSEB1F_CHRIS`, `startbattle`, `reloadmapafterbattle`.
6. `.End`: `applymovement PLAYER, Movement_ExitTrainerHouseBattleRoom`.
`CAL, CAL2` is the only trainer in the game whose party is **not** read from `data/trainers/parties.asm`: `engine/battle/read_trainer_party.asm:17-22` branches to `.cal2` and reads `sMysteryGiftTrainer` out of SRAM, and `GetTrainerName` (same file, line 326) reads `sMysteryGiftPartnerName`. With no Mystery Gift ever performed the flag is 0 and the game always fights `CAL3`.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_FOUGHT_IN_TRAINER_HALL_TODAY` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:104` | `checkflag`/`setflag` here | set = already battled today; cleared by the daily reset |
| `SCENE_TRAINERHOUSEB1F_ASK_BATTLE` = 0 | `maps/TrainerHouseB1F.asm:7` | `wTrainerHouseB1FSceneID` | always 0, so the coord_event is always armed |
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm`) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| `CAL2` | `CAL` | CAL (2), line 214 - **dead data** | table row is L30 BAYLEEF/QUILAVA/CROCONAW, but `ReadTrainerParty` never reaches it; the real party comes from `sMysteryGiftTrainer` | `TrainerHouseReceptionistScript` main arm | Mystery Gift only |
The walkthrough's "Level 50 Meganium / Typhlosion / Feraligatr" is `CAL3`, and its Thard_Verad note ("Cal is a placeholder; if you Mystery Gift with anyone, they can show up") is exactly the `CAL2` branch.

**Scripts of interest**
`Route1FruitTree` is one command: `fruittree FRUITTREE_ROUTE_1` (`constants/script_constants.asm:232`). The item comes from `FruitTreeItems` (`data/items/fruit_trees.asm`), whose `ROUTE_1` row is `db BITTER_BERRY`. This is the walkthrough's "Item on Route 1: Bitter Berry" - it is a **fruit tree**, not a ground item, so it is a daily respawn rather than a one-time pickup (`engine/events/fruit_trees.asm`, `TryResetFruitTrees`).
Both trainer scripts are the standard `endifjustbattled` after-battle text.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_BEAT_SCHOOLBOY_DANNY` | `constants/event_flags.asm:621` | `trainer` header | set on win |
| `EVENT_BEAT_COOLTRAINERF_QUINN` | `constants/event_flags.asm:890` | `trainer` header | set on win |
The fruit tree's picked state is **not** an `EVENT_*` - it is a per-tree bit in the fruit-tree flag array with a daily reset (see `engine/events/fruit_trees.asm`).
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `BITTER_BERRY` | face the tree object at (3, 7) and press A | `Route1FruitTree` -> `FruitTreeItems` row `ROUTE_1` | daily per-tree flag, not an event flag |
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm`) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| `QUINN` | `COOLTRAINERF` | COOLTRAINERF (14), line 948 | L38 IVYSAUR, L38 STARMIE | `TrainerCooltrainerfQuinn` | none |
**Wild encounters**
`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:231` `def_grass_wildmons ROUTE_1`, rates `10/10/10 percent`. **No version split.**
- morn/day: L2 PIDGEY, L2 RATTATA, L3 SENTRET, L3 PIDGEY, L6 FURRET, L4 PIDGEY, L4 PIDGEY.
- nite: L2 HOOTHOOT, L2 RATTATA, L3 RATTATA, L3 HOOTHOOT, L6 RATTATA, L4 HOOTHOOT, L4 HOOTHOOT.
The walkthrough's "Pidgey / Furret" is the morn/day column minus Rattata and Sentret; at night there is no Pidgey or Furret at all.

- Spawn: `data/maps/spawn_points.asm:14` -> `spawn PALLET_TOWN, 5, 6`; flypoint `data/maps/flypoints.asm:18` -> `db LANDMARK_PALLET_TOWN, SPAWN_PALLET`
**Scene scripts**: none. **Callbacks**: `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` -> `PalletTownFlypointCallback` = `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_PALLET / endcallback`. This is the asm behind "You can now fly to Pallet Town" - it fires the moment the map loads, before any NPC is talked to.
**Warps**

The walkthrough's "He notices your Kanto badges. He tells you that he'll give you a prize if you get all the badges" is the `.AhGood` arm; the actual prize is the Mt.

| Surf south from Pallet to Route 21 (next section) | `engine/events/overworld.asm:338 SurfFunction .TrySurf` -> `ld de, ENGINE_FOGBADGE / call CheckBadge` | Fog Badge + a party member that knows Surf | out of scope here |

Nothing in this section requires a badge, an HM or a key item to pass through. The only hard stop is the Mt. Moon rival battle.

## 4. Bot checklist
Coordinates are asm walk cells `(x, y)` on the named map.
1. `ROUTE_3` - enter from the west connection from `PEWTER_CITY`. Walk east.

## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Kanto map geometry, warps, connections, bg/coord/object rows | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` (extracts all map events), `src/world/gen2/Map.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua` | implemented (generic - every map in the ROM comes through the same path, no per-map Kanto code needed) |
| Scene scripts / `wMapSceneID` (Mt. Moon rival, Trainer House coord_event) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:1175-1183` (`GetMapSceneID` port), `:5014-5040` (coord event and scene script lookup) | implemented |
| `sdefer` timing for the Mt. Moon rival cutscene | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:92-93` | partial - the comment says "sdefer queues after the map settles in retail; run immediately here", so the rival scene starts a frame or two earlier than the cart. Cosmetic for a bot, visible in a screenshot diff. |
| Map callbacks (`MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` / `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS`) - the flypoint setters and the Mt. Moon Square rock/moon-stone callbacks | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5969`, driver `tests/drivers/gold_map_callbacks.lua` | implemented, with an assertion driver |
| `appear` / `disappear` object visibility via the event bitfield | `src/world/gen2/Events.lua` (header comment cites `CheckObjectFlag`) | implemented |
| Overworld trainers: `trainer` struct, eyesight, party build | `src/world/gen2/Trainers.lua`, `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5257-5264`, driver `tests/drivers/gold_trainer_smoke.lua` | implemented |
| `loadtrainer` / `startbattle` / `winlosstext` / `setlasttalked` (the rival and CAL fights) | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:99,100,105,109`, `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:806` | implemented |
| Trainer House daily CAL battle + Mystery Gift fallback | `src/world/gen2/TrainerHouse.lua` | implemented (deliberately answers `CAL3`; Mystery Gift is out of scope, documented in the file header) |
| Cutscene opcodes used by `ClefairyDance` and the rival scene: `showemote`, `follow`, `stopfollow`, `cry`, `moveobject`, `applymovement` | `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua:117-137`, `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:961`, `src/script/gen2/Movement.lua` | implemented |
| `checktime` / `VAR_WEEKDAY` (the Monday-night Clefairy guard) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:784`, `src/core/gen2/BugContest.lua:112` (`weekday`) | implemented |
| Hidden items (`BGEVENT_ITEM`: Mt. Moon Square Moon Stone, Route 4 Ultra Ball) | `src/world/gen2/HiddenItems.lua`, wired at `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5291` | implemented |
| Item balls (`OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL`: the Route 4 HP Up) | extracted at `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:2968-2969` as `obj.itemball`; **nothing reads it** - `World:interact` (`src/world/gen2/World.lua:5257`) only dispatches `npc.def.trainer`, strength boulders, `npc.def.scriptKey`, bg events and hidden items | **missing** - a bot cannot pick up the Route 4 HP Up in this port today |
| Fruit trees (`fruittree FRUITTREE_ROUTE_1` -> Bitter Berry) | `src/core/gen2/Apricorns.lua` (`FruitTreeItems` table, per-tree flag, `tryResetFruitTrees`), `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:1191` | implemented |
| `pokemart` / `MART_MT_MOON` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:597`, `src/ui/gen2/MartMenu.lua:336-348` | implemented (list comes from the extracted `data/generated/marts.lua`) |
| `verbosegiveitem` (Viridian TM42) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:490-498` | implemented |
| Rock Smash on the Mt. Moon Square rock | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua` (comment at :588 lists `ROCK_SMASH` among the field moves); the strength-boulder equivalent is special-cased in `World:interact` | partial - `jumpstd SmashRockScript` is a `farsjump` into ASM, so there is no bytecode for the extractor to find. `World:interact` has an explicit arm for strength boulders (`World.isStrengthBoulder`) but **no equivalent arm for `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SMASHABLE_ROCK`**, so pressing A on the Mt. Moon Square rock reaches a nil `scriptKey`. Verify by hand. |
| Fly / flypoints (`ENGINE_FLYPOINT_PALLET` = 52, `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIRIDIAN` = 53) | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:342-370` (both Kanto rows present) | implemented |
| Kanto wild tables (Gold vs Silver split) | extracted by `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua` from the ROM, so whichever cart was imported is what you get | implemented (no version conditional needed - the ROM already picked) |
---
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
1. **Rival party order contradicts the walkthrough.** The walkthrough lists Sneasel, Golbat, *Starter Evolution*, Magneton, Gengar, Alakazam. `data/trainers/parties.asm:2042-2069` lists Sneasel(41), Golbat(42), Magneton(41), Gengar(43), Alakazam(43), **starter last at level 45**. The walkthrough's per-mon strategy text is still correct; only the ordering is wrong. Levels and species otherwise match.
2. **Route 3 and Route 4 wild lists in the walkthrough are the Silver tables.** `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:314` and `:369` both have `IF DEF(_GOLD) / ELIF DEF(_SILVER)` arms. Ekans and Arbok only exist in the `_SILVER` arm. On Gold, Route 3 is Spearow/Rattata/Jigglypuff (+Zubat at nite) and Route 4 is the same. The walkthrough is titled for Gold but quoted the Silver data.
3. **Mt. Moon wild list is incomplete in the walkthrough.** Gold also has L8 SANDSHREW, L10 SANDSLASH and two L8 CLEFAIRY slots (`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:33`). The Clefairy slots mean Clefairy can be caught in the cave at any time, independent of the Monday-night dance.
4. **Route 1 wild list is incomplete and time-dependent.** The walkthrough lists Pidgey and Furret; the nite column (`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:250`) has neither - it is Hoothoot and Rattata only.
5. **"Bitter Berry" on Route 1 is a fruit tree, not a ground item.** `Route1FruitTree` = `fruittree FRUITTREE_ROUTE_1`, and `data/items/fruit_trees.asm` row `ROUTE_1` is `BITTER_BERRY`. It respawns daily rather than being a one-time pickup, which the walkthrough's "Item on Route 1" phrasing implies.
6. **The two Mt. Moon routes described in the walkthrough could not be verified against the collision map.** The warp graph in section 2 is exact, but which of warps 2/3/4 are reachable from the (3, 3) entrance without passing through the Square depends on `maps/MountMoon.blk` collision, which was not decoded here. The walkthrough's "either way, you end up in the same spot" is consistent with warps 4<->8 and 6 meeting on the (25, 13)/(25, 15) side, but confirm by walking it.
7. **"Bring Rock Smash" for the Clefairy Moon Stone.** The asm supports the claim indirectly: `MountMoonSquareDisappearRockCallback` hides `MOUNTMOONSQUARE_ROCK` on every `MAPCALLBACK_OBJECTS`, `ClefairyDance` `appear`s it at (7, 7) mid-cutscene, and (7, 7) is exactly the `BGEVENT_ITEM` tile the dance unlocks. Whether the rock actually blocks the tile-facing A press (as opposed to being walkable) was not verified; the item could also be reachable by facing (7, 7) from an adjacent cell. Verify in-game.
8. **`ULTRA_BALL` at Route 4 (10, 3) and `TM_DREAM_EATER` in Viridian are absent from the walkthrough.** Both are real (`maps/Route4.asm` bg_event, `maps/ViridianCity.asm` `ViridianCityDreamEaterFisher`). Not a contradiction, just an omission worth carrying into a completionist route.
9. **Mt. Moon Gift Shop has no NITE clerk.** Both `SPRITE_GRAMPS` rows are gated `-1, MORN` and `-1, DAY`. A bot that arrives at night finds no shop, which the walkthrough does not warn about.
10. **`ROUTE_3` warp position vs. its sign.** The only warp is at (52, 1) but the "MT.MOON SQUARE / Just go up the stairs" sign is at (49, 13), twelve cells south. That is what the file says; it reads oddly and is worth an eyeball on the rendered map.
11. **Port: `OBJECTTYPE_ITEMBALL` pickup is unimplemented** (see section 5). The Route 4 HP Up is the first item ball this section needs, and `World:interact` has no arm for it. Confirmed by reading `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5257-5310` and grepping the whole `src/` tree for `itemball` (only the extractor and one comment in `src/script/gen2/CallAsm.lua:547` mention it).
12. **Port: smashable-rock objects have no interact arm** (see section 5). Same class of gap as the item ball, but lower stakes because the only rock in this section is optional.

(`clearevent EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE`)
- Hidden RARE_CANDY on Cinnabar Island
- `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` (set silently by walking onto Route 20; this is what
clears the boulders that seal Route 19 to the east)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | `PALLET_TOWN` | - | - | south connection to `ROUTE_21` (`data/maps/attributes.asm:270-272`) | **Pallet Town belongs to the previous section; only the hop south is listed here.** |
| 1 | `ROUTE_21` | `maps/Route21.asm` | north connection from `PALLET_TOWN` (`data/maps/attributes.asm:274-275`) | south connection to `CINNABAR_ISLAND` (`attributes.asm:277`) | Surf south. Three trainers: Nikki, Arnold, Seth |
| 2 | `CINNABAR_ISLAND` | `maps/CinnabarIsland.asm` | north connection from `ROUTE_21` (`attributes.asm:279-280`) | warp 1 at (11,11) -> `CINNABAR_POKECENTER_1F` 1; east connection to `ROUTE_20` (`attributes.asm:281`) | Sets `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_CINNABAR`; heal; talk to Blue; hidden RARE_CANDY |
| 3 | `CINNABAR_POKECENTER_1F` | `maps/CinnabarPokecenter1F.asm` | Cinnabar warp 1 | warps 1/2 at (3,7)/(4,7) back to `CINNABAR_ISLAND` 1 | Heal; the two flavour NPCs the walkthrough quotes ("a year since the volcano erupted", "BLAINE lives alone in the SEAFOAM ISLANDS cave") |
| 4 | `ROUTE_20` | `maps/Route20.asm` | west connection from `CINNABAR_ISLAND` (`attributes.asm:283-284`) | warp 1 at (38,7) -> `SEAFOAM_GYM` 1 | `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` sets `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED`; Swimmer Cameron at (12,13) |
| 5 | `SEAFOAM_GYM` | `maps/SeafoamGym.asm` | Route 20 warp 1 | warp 1 at (5,5) back to `ROUTE_20` 1 | BLAINE -> **VOLCANOBADGE** |
Spillover: Route 20 continues east past the gym to Swimmer Lori (45,13) and Swimmer
Nicole (52,8) and then over the `connection east, Route19, ROUTE_19, -9` boundary into
Fuchsia territory; the walkthrough does not visit them here and they belong to the

| 9 | 1 | `BGEVENT_ITEM` | `CinnabarIslandHiddenRareCandy` -> `hiddenitem RARE_CANDY, EVENT_CINNABAR_ISLAND_HIDDEN_RARE_CANDY` (sym `4e:49a2`) |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`, `maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:142-143`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | sight | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `CINNABARISLAND_BLUE` | `SPRITE_BLUE` | 9 | 6 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_SLOW` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | 0 | `CinnabarIslandBlue` | `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` |
**Scripts of interest**
- `CinnabarIslandFlypointCallback` (`maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:10`, sym `4e:4981`), wired
as `callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` at `:8`. Body is exactly
`setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_CINNABAR` / `endcallback`. Walking in once is the whole
unlock for flying here.
- `CinnabarIslandBlue` (`maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:14`, sym `4e:4985`). Control flow, in
order: `faceplayer`, `opentext`, `writetext CinnabarIslandBlueText`, `waitbutton`,
`closetext`, `playsound SFX_WARP_TO`,
`applymovement CINNABARISLAND_BLUE, CinnabarIslandBlueTeleport`,
`disappear CINNABARISLAND_BLUE`, `clearevent EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE`, `end`.
- There is **no guard flag and no `iftrue`** at the top: the script is one-shot only
because `disappear` sets the object's own `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` (see
`Script_disappear` at `engine/overworld/scripting.asm:887`, `ld b, 1 ; set`).
- `CinnabarIslandBlueTeleport` (`:38`) is a two-byte movement stream:
`teleport_from` (`$4c`, `macros/scripts/movement.asm:148`) then `step_end`. That is
the "levitates and flies off" the walkthrough describes.
- `clearevent EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` is the load-bearing side effect: that flag is
set at boot by `InitializeEventsScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:552`) and it
hides both `VIRIDIANGYM_BLUE` and the Viridian gym guide
(`maps/ViridianGym.asm:183-184`). **Talking to Blue here is the only thing that
puts Blue in Viridian Gym.**
- `CinnabarIslandHiddenRareCandy` (`maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:35`) - a `hiddenitem`
operand, not a script body: `dwb EVENT_CINNABAR_ISLAND_HIDDEN_RARE_CANDY, RARE_CANDY`.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_CINNABAR` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:77` | set by `CinnabarIslandFlypointCallback` | Fly destination unlocked; also the wVisitedSpawns bit for respawn |
| `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1303` | *set* implicitly by `disappear CINNABARISLAND_BLUE`; read by `maps/ViridianCity.asm:37` and `maps/ViridianPokecenter1F.asm:18` for "Blue returned" dialogue | clear = Blue is standing on Cinnabar; set = you have heard the speech |
| `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1304` | set at `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:552`; cleared by `CinnabarIslandBlue` | while set, Viridian Gym is empty |
| `EVENT_CINNABAR_ISLAND_HIDDEN_RARE_CANDY` | `constants/event_flags.asm:254` | the `hiddenitem` at `maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:36` | one-shot guard on the hidden candy |
Note: `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` is **not** in the `InitializeEventsScript` list, so it
starts clear and Blue is visible from the first time you reach the island.
**Items**
| item | how obtained | source | one-time flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| `RARE_CANDY` | face tile (9,1) and press A (or ITEMFINDER) | `bg_event 9, 1, BGEVENT_ITEM, CinnabarIslandHiddenRareCandy` | `EVENT_CINNABAR_ISLAND_HIDDEN_RARE_CANDY` |
The walkthrough never mentions this candy.
**Trainers**
None.
**Wild encounters**
No `def_grass_wildmons`/`def_water_wildmons` row for `CINNABAR_ISLAND` in
`data/wild/kanto_grass.asm` or `data/wild/kanto_water.asm`. The surrounding water belongs
to Route 20 / Route 21. Fishing on the map's own water uses `FISHGROUP_OCEAN`
(`data/maps/maps.asm:199`).

Both flavour NPCs are unconditional `jumptextfaceplayer` - no flags, no branches. These
are the two people the walkthrough tells you to talk to.

### MAP_ROUTE_20
- Script: `maps/Route20.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route20.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:197` -> `TILESET_KANTO, ROUTE, LANDMARK_ROUTE_20, MUSIC_ROUTE_3, FALSE, PALETTE_AUTO, FISHGROUP_OCEAN`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:181` `map_const ROUTE_20, 30, 9` (group `CINNABAR` = 6, map id 6). 60x18 tile coordinates.
- Attributes / border: `data/maps/attributes.asm:283` `map_attributes Route20, ROUTE_20, $43`
- Connections: west `CINNABAR_ISLAND` (offset 0), east `ROUTE_19` (offset -9)
- Landmarks in view: `data/maps/landmarks.asm:93` Route 20, `:94` `SeafoamIslandsName`
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`, `maps/Route20.asm:116-117`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Cameron at x=12 is the only one west of the gym door at x=38, which is why the
walkthrough sees "one trainer" on the way in. Lori (45) and Nicole (52) are east of it.
**Scripts of interest**
- `Route20ClearRocksCallback` (`maps/Route20.asm:12`, sym `4e:4cfa`), wired as
`callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` at `:10`. Body is `setevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED`
/ `endcallback`. It fires silently the first time the map loads.
Consumers: `Route19ClearRocksCallback` (`maps/Route19.asm:15`, sym `4e:4f09`, a
`MAPCALLBACK_TILES` callback) draws six `changeblock ... $7a ; rock` blocks at
(6,6), (8,6), (10,6), (12,8), (4,8), (10,10) **while the flag is clear**; the officer
in `maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.asm:12` and the two fishers in `maps/Route19.asm:74`/`:90`
swap dialogue on it.
- `TrainerSwimmermCameron` (`maps/Route20.asm:38`, sym `4e:4d26`) - plain trainer,
`EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_CAMERON`, `endifjustbattled` + one line.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` | `constants/event_flags.asm:214` | set by `Route20ClearRocksCallback`; read by `maps/Route19.asm:16`, `:74`, `:90` and `maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.asm:12` | while clear, six rock blocks seal the Route 19 water path from the Fuchsia side |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_CAMERON` | `constants/event_flags.asm:957` | `maps/Route20.asm:39` | beat flag |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_NICOLE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:487` | `maps/Route20.asm:17` | beat flag (next section) |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_LORI` | `constants/event_flags.asm:488` | `maps/Route20.asm:28` | beat flag (next section) |
**Items**
None on this map.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm`) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SWIMMERM, CAMERON` | SWIMMERM ($26) | 17 | `; SWIMMERM (17)` at `parties.asm:1749`: L34 MARILL | `TrainerSwimmermCameron` | no |
| `SWIMMERF, NICOLE` | SWIMMERF ($27) | 14 | `; SWIMMERF (14)` at `parties.asm:1854`: L29 MARILL, L29 MARILL, L32 LAPRAS | `TrainerSwimmerfNicole` | no |

Cameron pays 2 x 34 x 4 = **272**, matching the walkthrough.
**Wild encounters**
- Water (`data/wild/kanto_water.asm:54-59`), 6% rate: L35 TENTACOOL / L30 TENTACOOL / L35 TENTACRUEL.
- No `def_grass_wildmons ROUTE_20` row exists in `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm` - there is
no land grass on this route.
- Fishing: `FISHGROUP_OCEAN`, same three rod tables as Route 21 above.
---
### MAP_SEAFOAM_GYM
- Script: `maps/SeafoamGym.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/SeafoamGym.blk`
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:195` -> `TILESET_CAVE, INDOOR, LANDMARK_SEAFOAM_ISLANDS, MUSIC_GYM, TRUE (phone calls blocked), PALETTE_DAY, FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:179` `map_const SEAFOAM_GYM, 5, 4` (group `CINNABAR` = 6, map id 4). 10x8 tile coordinates - smaller than the 20x18 screen, which is the walkthrough's "this gym doesn't even fit the entire screen".
- Attributes / border: `data/maps/attributes.asm:513` `map_attributes SeafoamGym, SEAFOAM_GYM, $09`; no connections
- There is **no** `MAP_SEAFOAM_ISLANDS` dungeon in Gen 2 - `constants/map_constants.asm`
has only `SEAFOAM_GYM` in the whole Seafoam family.
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`, `maps/SeafoamGym.asm:161-162`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 5 | `ROUTE_20` | 1 |
**Coord events**
None (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:164`). The map does declare one scene script,
`scene_script SeafoamGymNoopScene` (`:7`), and the asm itself annotates it
`; unusable` - the body at `:11` is a bare `end`.
**BG events**
None (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:166`).
**Object events** (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:168-170`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | sight | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SEAFOAMGYM_BLAINE` | `SPRITE_BLAINE` | 5 | 2 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | 0 | `SeafoamGymBlaineScript` | -1 (always present) |
| `SEAFOAMGYM_GYM_GUIDE` | `SPRITE_GYM_GUIDE` | 6 | 5 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` | 0 | `SeafoamGymGuideScript` | `EVENT_SEAFOAM_GYM_GYM_GUIDE` |
**Scripts of interest**
- `SeafoamGymBlaineScript` (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:14`, sym `53:516d`). Control flow:
1. `faceplayer`, `opentext`
2. `checkflag ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE` / `iftrue .FightDone` - the entire re-talk guard is
the badge engine flag, **not** an event flag.
3. `writetext BlaineIntroText`, `waitbutton`, `closetext`
4. `winlosstext BlaineWinLossText, 0` (no loss text)
5. `loadtrainer BLAINE, BLAINE1`, `startbattle`
6. `iftrue .ReturnAfterBattle` - i.e. if the battle result is non-zero (you lost /
drew) it *skips* `appear SEAFOAMGYM_GYM_GUIDE`
7. `appear SEAFOAMGYM_GYM_GUIDE` - clears `EVENT_SEAFOAM_GYM_GYM_GUIDE`, which is how
the guide "comes in late"
8. `.ReturnAfterBattle`: `reloadmapafterbattle`, `setevent EVENT_BEAT_BLAINE`,
`opentext`, `writetext ReceivedVolcanoBadgeText`, `playsound SFX_GET_BADGE`,
`waitsfx`, **`setflag ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE`**, `writetext BlaineAfterBattleText`,
`waitbutton`, `closetext`, `end`
- No `verbosegiveitem` anywhere: **Blaine gives no TM**, only the badge.
- Note the ordering quirk: `setevent EVENT_BEAT_BLAINE` / `setflag ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE`
are on the shared `.ReturnAfterBattle` path, reached whether or not you won, but
`startbattle` does not return to the script on a whiteout, so in practice this is
only reached after a win.
- `SeafoamGymGuideScript` (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:46`, sym `53:51a3`) - branches on
`EVENT_TALKED_TO_SEAFOAM_GYM_GUIDE_ONCE`, first line is the apology
("CINNABAR GYM was gone, so I didn't know where to find you"), then a second line
forever after.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:53` (Kanto badge 7; `wKantoBadges` bit 6 per `constants/ram_constants.asm:270`) | checked at `maps/SeafoamGym.asm:17`, set at `:34` | the badge itself; also gates the re-talk branch |
| `EVENT_BEAT_BLAINE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:721` | set at `maps/SeafoamGym.asm:29` | not read by any other map in the checkout; it is the record, not the gate |
| `EVENT_SEAFOAM_GYM_GYM_GUIDE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1305` | set at boot (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:553`), cleared by `appear` at `maps/SeafoamGym.asm:26` | while set, the guide object does not exist |
| `EVENT_TALKED_TO_SEAFOAM_GYM_GUIDE_ONCE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:212` | `maps/SeafoamGym.asm:49`, `:54` | first-talk vs repeat text |
What VOLCANOBADGE actually does mechanically: `data/types/badge_type_boosts.asm:19`
`db FIRE ; VOLCANOBADGE`, consumed by `DoBadgeTypeBoosts` (`engine/battle/misc.asm:146`,
called from `engine/battle/effect_commands.asm:1261`) - a +12.5% damage boost on the
player's FIRE-type moves. It grants no field move.
**Items**
None.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm`) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `BLAINE, BLAINE1` | BLAINE ($2e), `constants/trainer_constants.asm:469-470` | 1 | `BlaineGroup` (sym `0e:6e70`) at `parties.asm:2303`, `TRAINERTYPE_MOVES`: **L45 MAGCARGO** (CURSE, SMOG, FLAMETHROWER, ROCK_SLIDE), **L45 MAGMAR** (THUNDERPUNCH, FIRE_PUNCH, SUNNY_DAY, CONFUSE_RAY), **L50 RAPIDASH** (QUICK_ATTACK, FIRE_SPIN, FURY_ATTACK, FIRE_BLAST) | `SeafoamGymBlaineScript` | no rematch, no phone |
Class attributes (`data/trainers/attributes.asm:275-279`): AI items are
**`MAX_POTION, FULL_HEAL`** (not two Full Restores); base reward 25; AI mask
`AI_BASIC | AI_SETUP | AI_SMART | AI_AGGRESSIVE | AI_CAUTIOUS | AI_STATUS | AI_RISKY`,
`CONTEXT_USE | SWITCH_SOMETIMES`. Payout 25 x 50 x 4 = **5000**, matching the walkthrough.
`BLAINE` is in `KantoGymLeaders` (`data/trainers/leaders.asm`), so the battle uses the
gym-leader music and awards `HAPPINESS_GYMBATTLE`.
**Wild encounters**
None. The map is `INDOOR` with `TILESET_CAVE`; its `FISHGROUP_SHORE` header entry is the
default and has no reachable water.

## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everything in this section is across open sea (Pallet -> Route 21 -> Cinnabar -> Route 20 -> gym door) | `engine/events/overworld.asm:469` `TrySurfOW` (walk-into-water path): `ld de, ENGINE_FOGBADGE` / `CheckEngineFlag` at `:490`, then `ld d, SURF` / `CheckPartyMove`. Menu path is `SurfFunction` `.TrySurf` at `:340` with the same `ENGINE_FOGBADGE`. `CheckBadge` itself is at `:50`. | FOGBADGE + a party mon that knows SURF | already held long before Kanto (Johto badge 4) |
| Fly to Cinnabar Island | `data/maps/flypoints.asm:28`; the flag is `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_CINNABAR`, set by `CinnabarIslandFlypointCallback` (`maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:10`) | STORMBADGE + FLY + having stood on Cinnabar Island once | walk in once |
| Blue is not in Viridian Gym | `maps/ViridianGym.asm:183-184` object rows carry `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE`, set at `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:552` | - | `clearevent EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` at the tail of `CinnabarIslandBlue` (`maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:23`) - **this section is a hard prerequisite for the Viridian Gym leader** |
| Route 19 (east of Route 20) is sealed by six boulder blocks | `maps/Route19.asm:15` `Route19ClearRocksCallback`, a `MAPCALLBACK_TILES` callback that lays `changeblock` rock blocks while `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` is clear | - | `setevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` in `Route20ClearRocksCallback` (`maps/Route20.asm:13`), i.e. simply loading Route 20 once from the Cinnabar side |
| Blaine will not re-battle | `maps/SeafoamGym.asm:17` `checkflag ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE` / `iftrue .FightDone` | - | none in vanilla; `.FightDone` is terminal |
| The gym guide does not exist until Blaine is beaten | object row event flag `EVENT_SEAFOAM_GYM_GYM_GUIDE` (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:170`), set at `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:553` | beat Blaine | `appear SEAFOAMGYM_GYM_GUIDE` (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:26`), only on the win branch |
Nothing in this section needs CUT, STRENGTH, WHIRLPOOL, WATERFALL, FLASH or a key item.
## 4. Bot checklist
Ordered, machine-actionable. `(g,m)` is `(map group, map id)` from
`constants/map_constants.asm`. All coordinates are the raw asm map-event values.
1. `PALLET_TOWN`: SURF south across the connection into `ROUTE_21 (6,7)`.
Pre: FOGBADGE + SURF in the party. Post: none.
2. `ROUTE_21`: battle `TrainerSwimmerfNikki` at (11,16) - sight radius 3, so she will
trigger on approach. Party L28 SEEL x3 + L28 DEWGONG. Post: `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_NIKKI`, +560 money.
3. `ROUTE_21`: battle `TrainerFisherArnold` at (14,22) - sight radius 1, faces up.
Party L34 TENTACRUEL. Post: `EVENT_BEAT_FISHER_ARNOLD`, +1360 money.
4. `ROUTE_21`: surf west then south to `TrainerSwimmermSeth` at (2,30) - sight radius 4,
faces right. Party L29 QUAGSIRE / L29 OCTILLERY / L32 QUAGSIRE.
Post: `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_SETH`, +256 money.
(Both trainers are avoidable - all three are `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER` with a finite sight
radius, none are on a coord event.)
5. `ROUTE_21`: continue south across the connection into `CINNABAR_ISLAND (6,8)`.
Post: `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` sets `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_CINNABAR`; respawn point becomes
`SPAWN_CINNABAR` = (11,12).
6. `CINNABAR_ISLAND`: step on warp 1 at (11,11) -> `CINNABAR_POKECENTER_1F (6,1)`.
Talk to `CINNABARPOKECENTER1F_NURSE` at (3,1) to heal. Optional: the two flavour NPCs
at (7,6) and (2,4). Exit via warp 1/2 at (3,7)/(4,7).
7. `CINNABAR_ISLAND`: optional - face (9,1) and press A for the hidden **RARE_CANDY**.
Pre: `EVENT_CINNABAR_ISLAND_HIDDEN_RARE_CANDY` clear + a free bag slot.
Post: flag set. (Not in the walkthrough.)
8. `CINNABAR_ISLAND`: walk to `CINNABARISLAND_BLUE` at (9,6) and talk.
Pre: `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` clear. Expect a long `writetext` (about 13 pages of
`para` breaks - budget A presses accordingly), then `SFX_WARP_TO` + a `teleport_from`
movement, then the object vanishes.
Post: `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` set (via `disappear`), `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE`
**cleared**. Do not skip this step: it is the only unlock for the Viridian Gym leader.
9. `CINNABAR_ISLAND`: optional signs at (12,11), (9,11), (7,7).
10. `CINNABAR_ISLAND`: SURF east across the connection into `ROUTE_20 (6,6)`.
Post: `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` sets `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` (silent; unseals
Route 19 for the next section).
11. `ROUTE_20`: battle `TrainerSwimmermCameron` at (12,13) - sight radius 3.
Party L34 MARILL. Post: `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_CAMERON`, +272 money.
12. `ROUTE_20`: optional sign at (37,11). Then step onto warp 1 at (38,7) ->
`SEAFOAM_GYM (6,4)`.
13. `SEAFOAM_GYM`: walk to `SEAFOAMGYM_BLAINE` at (5,2) and talk.
Pre: `ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE` clear (otherwise you get `.FightDone` only).
Battle: `loadtrainer BLAINE, BLAINE1` - L45 MAGCARGO / L45 MAGMAR / L50 RAPIDASH,
AI holds MAX_POTION + FULL_HEAL.
Post: `EVENT_BEAT_BLAINE` set, `EVENT_SEAFOAM_GYM_GYM_GUIDE` cleared (guide appears
at (6,5)), **`ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE` set**, +5000 money. No TM, no item.
14. `SEAFOAM_GYM`: optional - talk to `SEAFOAMGYM_GYM_GUIDE` at (6,5).
Post: `EVENT_TALKED_TO_SEAFOAM_GYM_GUIDE_ONCE`.
15. `SEAFOAM_GYM`: exit via warp 1 at (5,5) back to `ROUTE_20` warp 1.
Follow-up (next section): Route 20 continues east past Lori (45,13) and Nicole (52,8)
into `ROUTE_19`, whose rock blocks are now gone because step 10 set
`EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED`.
## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |

Nothing in `src/` ever writes `player.kantoBadges` (only initialised at `src/core/gen2/Save.lua:119`). | **partial** - Blaine's own re-talk guard works (same `engineFlags` id is read back by `checkflag`), but the badge does not show on the trainer card and does not increment `VAR_BADGES` |
| `BadgeTypeBoosts` (VOLCANOBADGE = +12.5% FIRE damage) | no Gen 2 implementation - `grep -rn "badge" src/battle/gen2/` returns nothing; the only badge-boost code is the Gen 1 `src/battle/Damage.lua:35` | **missing** |

## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
- **Blaine's movesets in the walkthrough are not the pokegold movesets.** The FAQ
describes Magcargo with Yawn / Recover / Overheat, Magmar with Confuse Ray, and
Rapidash with Flare Blitz / Bounce. `data/trainers/parties.asm:2303-2308` gives
MAGCARGO (CURSE, SMOG, FLAMETHROWER, ROCK_SLIDE), MAGMAR (THUNDERPUNCH, FIRE_PUNCH,
SUNNY_DAY, CONFUSE_RAY) and RAPIDASH (QUICK_ATTACK, FIRE_SPIN, FURY_ATTACK,
FIRE_BLAST). Only CONFUSE_RAY overlaps; Overheat, Flare Blitz, Bounce and Yawn do not
exist in `constants/move_constants.asm` at all for this generation. **Species and
levels match exactly** (L45 / L45 / L50), so treat the strategy prose as written
against a different (modernised) build and the asm as authoritative.
- **"Blaine will have two Full Restores available."** `data/trainers/attributes.asm:276`
is `db MAX_POTION, FULL_HEAL`. Two different items, neither of them a Full Restore.
The count of *uses* is AI-driven, not a fixed two.
- **"You now have 15 badges!"** Nothing in the asm counts badges as an ordinal; Kanto
gyms have no enforced order (`ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE` is one bit,
`constants/engine_flags.asm:53`). The 15 is walkthrough prose that assumes a specific
visiting order.
- **Route 21 wild list is abridged in the walkthrough.** The FAQ lists Tentacool and
Tangela. `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm:1005` also has **MR__MIME** in all three
time slots, and `data/wild/kanto_water.asm:61` also has **TENTACRUEL**. Route 20's
list is likewise incomplete (TENTACRUEL is there too).
- **"Surf south on Route 21 ... head way left then down."** The trainer coordinates
confirm the shape of the route (16 -> 22 -> 30, then far west), but the actual walkable
water path is block data in `maps/Route21.blk` and was not decoded here.
- **"You should see a small cave at the Seafoam Islands."** The only asm anchor is
`warp_event 38, 7` on `maps/Route20.asm:117` plus `bg_event 37, 11` for the gym sign.
The cave mouth graphic itself is block data in `maps/Route20.blk`; there is no
Seafoam Islands dungeon map in Gen 2 (`constants/map_constants.asm` has only
`SEAFOAM_GYM`), so the walkthrough's "Seafoam Islands" is a landmark name
(`data/maps/landmarks.asm:94` `LANDMARK_SEAFOAM_ISLANDS`) rather than a walkable
dungeon.
- **EXP figures.** The per-mon EXP numbers in the FAQ (600 for a L28 Seel, 1056 for a
L28 Dewgong, 1492 for a L34 Tentacruel) are consistent with the vanilla
`base_exp * level / 7` times the 1.5x trainer-battle bonus, but nothing in
`data/trainers/parties.asm` stores them and they still vary with participation, so
they are not reproducible from the asm as written. The **money** figures all reproduce
exactly and are recorded above.
- **`EVENT_BEAT_BLAINE` has no reader.** Grepping `maps/`, `data/`, `engine/`, `home/`
and `constants/` finds it only at its definition (`constants/event_flags.asm:721`) and
its single `setevent` (`maps/SeafoamGym.asm:29`). If the port needs a "Blaine beaten"
predicate for anything, `ENGINE_VOLCANOBADGE` is the flag the cart actually branches on.

# Section 28 - Routes 19-20 and Viridian City Gym
Source: `../section-28-routes-19-20-and-viridian-city-gym.txt` (the FAQ numbers this chapter "34 > Routes 19-20 and Viridian City Gym")
Maps covered: `MAP_ROUTE_20`, `MAP_ROUTE_19`, `MAP_ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE`, `MAP_VIRIDIAN_CITY`, `MAP_VIRIDIAN_POKECENTER_1F`, `MAP_VIRIDIAN_GYM`
Badges / key milestones in this section: EARTHBADGE (`ENGINE_EARTHBADGE`) from Blue in Viridian Gym, `EVENT_BEAT_BLUE`, five optional Swimmer battles on Routes 19/20. This is the 16th badge, which is what `maps/OaksLab.asm` reads to open Mt. Silver in a later section.
Map group / id pairs a bot needs (from `constants/map_constants.asm`):
| Map constant | group | id |
|---|---|---|
| `MAP_ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE` | 6 (`CINNABAR`, `constants/map_constants.asm:175`) | 3 |
| `MAP_ROUTE_19` | 6 | 5 |
| `MAP_ROUTE_20` | 6 | 6 |
| `MAP_VIRIDIAN_CITY` | 23 (`VIRIDIAN`, `constants/map_constants.asm:420`) | 3 |
| `MAP_VIRIDIAN_GYM` | 23 | 4 |
| `MAP_VIRIDIAN_POKECENTER_1F` | 23 | 9 |
Coordinate convention reminder: `warp_event` / `coord_event` / `bg_event` / `object_event` all take `x, y` in map cell coordinates, 0-based from the top-left (`macros/scripts/maps.asm:63`, `:79`, `:97`, `:113`). A map that is `W, H` blocks is `2W, 2H` cells. `changeblock` also takes cell coordinates and halves them internally (`engine/overworld/scripting.asm:2030` `Script_changeblock`, `home/map.asm:2099` `GetBlockLocation`).
## 1. Route order
| # | Map constant | asm file | Enter via | Leaves via | Why (walkthrough beat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | `MAP_SEAFOAM_GYM` | `maps/SeafoamGym.asm` (previous section) | - | its exit warp back to Route 20 warp 1 | Blaine's gym sits on Route 20; the previous section ends there |
| 1 | `MAP_ROUTE_20` | `maps/Route20.asm` | Seafoam Gym exit -> Route 20 warp 1 `(38, 7)`, or the west connection from Cinnabar Island | east map connection to Route 19 (`data/maps/attributes.asm:285`, offset -9) | "East on Route 20 and to Route 19 are optional ... Surf down and right to face the swimmer in the water" (Lori, then Nicole) |
| 2 | `MAP_ROUTE_19` | `maps/Route19.asm` | west map connection from Route 20 (`data/maps/attributes.asm:289`, offset 9) | Fly (walkthrough), or warp 1 `(7, 3)` -> `ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE` warp 3, or the north connection to Fuchsia City | "You'll find a drowning guy next to a girl" (Tucker, Dawn, then Jerome). "Fly back to Viridian City instead" |
| 2a | `MAP_ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE` | `maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.asm` | Route 19 warp 1 | warps 1/2 `(4, 0)` / `(5, 0)` -> `FUCHSIA_CITY` warps 10 / 11 | Only referenced by the walkthrough's "blocked ... south of Fuchsia City" line; see section 6 |
| 3 | `MAP_VIRIDIAN_CITY` | `maps/ViridianCity.asm` | Fly (`ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIRIDIAN`, spawn `(23, 26)`) | warp 5 `(23, 25)` -> Pokecenter; warp 1 `(32, 7)` -> gym | "fly back to Viridian City ... First, heal at the Pokémon Center" |
| 4 | `MAP_VIRIDIAN_POKECENTER_1F` | `maps/ViridianPokecenter1F.asm` | Viridian warp 5 | warps 1/2 `(3, 7)` / `(4, 7)` -> Viridian warp 5 | Heal before and after Blue |
| 5 | `MAP_VIRIDIAN_GYM` | `maps/ViridianGym.asm` | Viridian warp 1 `(32, 7)` | warps 1/2 `(4, 17)` / `(5, 17)` -> Viridian warp 1 | "GYM LEADER BLUE ... You get: Earth Badge, 5,800G" |
Spillover: the closing line "There are still a few things you can do before you clear Kanto" points at `maps/OaksLab.asm:26` (`readvar VAR_BADGES` / `ifequal NUM_BADGES, .OpenMtSilver`), which belongs to the next section. Nothing past the Viridian Gym exit is described here.
## 2. Maps
### MAP_ROUTE_20
- Script: `maps/Route20.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route20.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:118` `Route20_Blocks`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:197` -> `TILESET_KANTO`, `ROUTE`, `LANDMARK_ROUTE_20`, `MUSIC_ROUTE_3`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_AUTO`, `FISHGROUP_OCEAN`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:181` `map_const ROUTE_20, 30, 9` (30x9 blocks = 60x18 cells)
- Connections: `data/maps/attributes.asm:283-285` - west `CinnabarIsland` (`CINNABAR_ISLAND`, offset 0), east `Route19` (`ROUTE_19`, offset -9). No north/south.
- Map events block: `Route20_MapEvents`, sym `4e:4ecd`
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 38 | 7 | `SEAFOAM_GYM` | 1 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`) - none (`def_coord_events` is empty).
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 37 | 11 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `CinnabarGymSign` (sym `4e:4d3a`) -> `CinnabarGymSignText` |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `ROUTE20_SWIMMER_GIRL1` | `SPRITE_SWIMMER_GIRL` | 52 | 8 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_FAST` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 3, `PAL_NPC_GREEN` | `TrainerSwimmerfNicole` (sym `4e:4cfe`) | -1 (always present) |
| `ROUTE20_SWIMMER_GIRL2` | `SPRITE_SWIMMER_GIRL` | 45 | 13 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_FAST` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 3, `PAL_NPC_GREEN` | `TrainerSwimmerfLori` (sym `4e:4d12`) | -1 |
| `ROUTE20_SWIMMER_GUY` | `SPRITE_SWIMMER_GUY` | 12 | 13 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_FAST` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 3, `PAL_NPC_RED` | `TrainerSwimmermCameron` (sym `4e:4d26`) | -1 |
**Scripts of interest**
- `Route20_MapScripts` (`maps/Route20.asm:6`): no scene scripts; one callback, `callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP, Route20ClearRocksCallback`.
- `Route20ClearRocksCallback` (`maps/Route20.asm:12`, sym `4e:4cfa`): two opcodes, `setevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` then `endcallback`. This is the single most load-bearing fact on this map: merely *entering* Route 20 for the first time permanently clears the Route 19 boulders. There is no other setter of that flag anywhere in `maps/`.
- The three trainer scripts are the stock pattern: `trainer <CLASS>, <ID>, <EVENT>, SeenText, BeatenText, 0, .Script`, and `.Script` is `endifjustbattled / opentext / writetext <AfterBattleText> / waitbutton / closetext / end`. No items, no flags beyond the trainer's own beat flag.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` | `constants/event_flags.asm:214` | set by `Route20ClearRocksCallback`; read by `Route19ClearRocksCallback`, `Route19Fisher1Script`, `Route19Fisher2Script`, `Route19FuchsiaGateOfficerScript` | Once set, the six Route 19 boulder blocks are never placed |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_NICOLE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:487` | `TrainerSwimmerfNicole` | One-time battle |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_LORI` | `constants/event_flags.asm:488` | `TrainerSwimmerfLori` | One-time battle |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_CAMERON` | `constants/event_flags.asm:957` | `TrainerSwimmermCameron` | One-time battle; the walkthrough never mentions him |
**Items** - none on this map (the only `bg_event` is a readable sign; no `hiddenitem`, no item balls).
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `SWIMMERF` / `LORI` | 27 (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:375`) | LORI = `SwimmerFGroup` entry 15 | `data/trainers/parties.asm:1781` `SwimmerFGroup` (sym `0e:69c7`), `TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL`: L32 STARMIE, L32 STARMIE | `TrainerSwimmerfLori` | none (no `phone_call` / rematch entry) |
| `SWIMMERF` / `NICOLE` | 27 | NICOLE = `SwimmerFGroup` entry 14 | `TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL`: L29 MARILL, L29 MARILL, L32 LAPRAS | `TrainerSwimmerfNicole` | none |
| `SWIMMERM` / `CAMERON` | 26 (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:352`) | CAMERON = `SwimmerMGroup` entry 17 | `data/trainers/parties.asm:1640` `SwimmerMGroup` (sym `0e:68a8`), `TRAINERTYPE_NORMAL`: L34 MARILL | `TrainerSwimmermCameron` | none |
Prize money: `data/trainers/attributes.asm:227` gives class Swimmerm base reward 2, `:233` gives Swimmerf base reward 5, no held items. `engine/battle/read_trainer_party.asm:300` `ComputeTrainerReward` = base x level of the last mon, and `engine/battle/core.asm:2340-2362` pays that quarter out four times, so the wallet figure is `4 x base x level`: Lori and Nicole `4 x 5 x 32 = 640` (matches the FAQ), Cameron `4 x 2 x 34 = 272`.
**Wild encounters**
- Surfing: `data/wild/kanto_water.asm:54` `def_water_wildmons ROUTE_20`, encounter rate `6 percent`: L35 TENTACOOL, L30 TENTACOOL, L35 TENTACRUEL. No morn/day/nite split (water tables have a single slot list).
- No entry in `data/wild/kanto_grass.asm` (the map has no grass), none in `data/wild/treemons.asm`.
- Fishing: header fish group is `FISHGROUP_OCEAN` (`data/maps/maps.asm:197`), `data/wild/fish.asm` `.Ocean_Old` / `.Ocean_Good` / `.Ocean_Super` (lines 42-55): Old = MAGIKARP/MAGIKARP/TENTACOOL L10; Good = MAGIKARP L20, TENTACOOL L20, CHINCHOU L20, time group 2; Super = CHINCHOU L40, time group 3, TENTACRUEL L40, LANTURN L40.
### MAP_ROUTE_19
- Script: `maps/Route19.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route19.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:48` `Route19_Blocks`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:196` -> `TILESET_KANTO`, `ROUTE`, `LANDMARK_ROUTE_19`, `MUSIC_ROUTE_3`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_AUTO`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:180` `map_const ROUTE_19, 10, 18` (10x18 blocks = 20x36 cells)
- Connections: `data/maps/attributes.asm:287-289` - north `FuchsiaCity` (`FUCHSIA_CITY`, offset 0), west `Route20` (`ROUTE_20`, offset 9). No south/east.
- Map events block: `Route19_MapEvents`, sym `4e:535c`
**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7 | 3 | `ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE` | 3 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`) - none.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 13 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `Route19Sign` (sym `4e:4fa0`) -> `Route19SignText` |
| 11 | 1 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `CarefulSwimmingSign` (sym `4e:4fa3`) -> `CarefulSwimmingSignText` |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)
| const | sprite | x | y | movement | type | script label | event flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `ROUTE19_SWIMMER_GIRL` | `SPRITE_SWIMMER_GIRL` | 9 | 23 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_LEFT` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight **0**, `PAL_NPC_GREEN` | `TrainerSwimmerfDawn` (sym `4e:4f28`) | -1 |
| `ROUTE19_SWIMMER_GUY1` | `SPRITE_SWIMMER_GUY` | 13 | 28 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_FAST` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 3, `PAL_NPC_RED` | `TrainerSwimmermHarold` (sym `4e:4f3c`) | -1 |
| `ROUTE19_SWIMMER_GUY2` | `SPRITE_SWIMMER_GUY` | 11 | 17 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_FAST` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight 3, `PAL_NPC_RED` | `TrainerSwimmermJerome` (sym `4e:4f50`) | -1 |
| `ROUTE19_SWIMMER_GUY3` | `SPRITE_SWIMMER_GUY` | 8 | 23 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER`, sight **0**, `PAL_NPC_RED` | `TrainerSwimmermTucker` (sym `4e:4f64`) | -1 |
| `ROUTE19_FISHER1` | `SPRITE_FISHER` | 9 | 5 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_DOWN` (radius 0,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` (sight field 1, unused) | `Route19Fisher1Script` (sym `4e:4f78`) | -1 |
| `ROUTE19_FISHER2` | `SPRITE_FISHER` | 11 | 5 | `SPRITEMOVEDATA_WALK_LEFT_RIGHT` (radius 1,0) | `OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT` (sight field 1, unused) | `Route19Fisher2Script` (sym `4e:4f8c`) | -1 |
Note for a bot: Tucker `(8, 23)` and Dawn `(9, 23)` both have sight range 0, so they never initiate a battle by line of sight. They must be talked to, which is exactly the walkthrough's "Talk to the guy for a battle" / "talk to the girl to battle her". Harold and Jerome have sight 3 and will pull the player in.
**Scripts of interest**
- `Route19_MapScripts` (`maps/Route19.asm:9`): no scene scripts; one callback, `callback MAPCALLBACK_TILES, Route19ClearRocksCallback`.
- `Route19ClearRocksCallback` (`maps/Route19.asm:15`, sym `4e:4f09`): `checkevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` / `iftrue .Done`, otherwise six `changeblock` calls writing block `$7a` (a rock) at cells `(6, 6)`, `(8, 6)`, `(10, 6)`, `(12, 8)`, `(4, 8)`, `(10, 10)` - i.e. blocks `(3, 3)`, `(4, 3)`, `(5, 3)`, `(6, 4)`, `(2, 4)`, `(5, 5)`. Block `$7a` in `data/tilesets/kanto_collision.asm:123` is `tilecoll WALL, WALL, WALL, WALL`, so all four quadrants are solid; these are impassable terrain, not Strength boulders. Because this is `MAPCALLBACK_TILES` it re-runs on every map load, and because `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` is set by simply walking onto Route 20, by the time this section runs the rocks are already gone.
- `Route19Fisher1Script` / `Route19Fisher2Script` (`maps/Route19.asm:71` / `:87`): `faceplayer / opentext / checkevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED / iftrue .RocksCleared`. Flavor only, no flags written, no items.
- The four trainer scripts follow the same `endifjustbattled` pattern as Route 20's.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` | `constants/event_flags.asm:214` | read by `Route19ClearRocksCallback` and both Fisher scripts | Gate on whether the north half of Route 19 is walkable |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERF_DAWN` | `constants/event_flags.asm:485` | `TrainerSwimmerfDawn` | One-time battle |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_HAROLD` | `constants/event_flags.asm:941` | `TrainerSwimmermHarold` | One-time battle; not mentioned by the walkthrough |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_JEROME` | `constants/event_flags.asm:954` | `TrainerSwimmermJerome` | One-time battle |
| `EVENT_BEAT_SWIMMERM_TUCKER` | `constants/event_flags.asm:955` | `TrainerSwimmermTucker` | One-time battle |
**Items** - none. Both `bg_event`s are `BGEVENT_READ` signs; there is no `hiddenitem` and no item ball on this map.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |

Prize money using the same `4 x base x last-mon level` rule: Tucker `4 x 2 x 34 = 272`, Dawn `4 x 5 x 34 = 680`, Jerome `4 x 2 x 28 = 224`, Harold `4 x 2 x 30 = 240`. The first three match the FAQ exactly.
**Wild encounters**
- Surfing: `data/wild/kanto_water.asm:47` `def_water_wildmons ROUTE_19`, encounter rate `6 percent`: L35 TENTACOOL, L30 TENTACOOL, L35 TENTACRUEL.
- No grass table, no headbutt table.
- Fishing: `FISHGROUP_SHORE` (`data/maps/maps.asm:196`), `data/wild/fish.asm` `.Shore_Old` / `.Shore_Good` / `.Shore_Super` (lines 28-40): Old = MAGIKARP/MAGIKARP/KRABBY L10; Good = MAGIKARP L20, KRABBY L20 (x2), time group 0; Super = KRABBY L40, time group 1, KRABBY L40, KINGLER L40.
### MAP_ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE
Included because the walkthrough's "blocked by those boulders south of Fuchsia City" line points at it. The walkthrough never actually enters it.
- Script: `maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:204` `Route19FuchsiaGate_Blocks`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:194` -> `TILESET_GATE`, `GATE`, `LANDMARK_ROUTE_19`, `MUSIC_ROUTE_3`, phone `FALSE`, `PALETTE_DAY`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:178` `map_const ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE, 5, 4` (10x8 cells)
- Connections: none (`data/maps/attributes.asm:512` has no connection rows)

**Scripts of interest**
- `Route19FuchsiaGateOfficerScript` (`maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.asm:9`): `faceplayer / opentext / checkevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED / iftrue .RocksCleared`, then one of two texts. He is at `(0, 4)`, off to the side of the `(4, ...)` / `(5, ...)` walkway, so he blocks nothing. There is no coord event and no movement-blocking script in this gate: the officer is flavor, and the actual road closure is the `changeblock` rocks on Route 19 itself.
### MAP_VIRIDIAN_CITY
- Script: `maps/ViridianCity.asm`

**Scripts of interest**
- `ViridianCityFlypointCallback` (`maps/ViridianCity.asm:13`, sym `4e:4005`), hooked as `callback MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`: `setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIRIDIAN / endcallback`. A bot cannot Fly here until it has physically entered Viridian City once.
- `ViridianCityGrampsNearGym` (`maps/ViridianCity.asm:34`): `checkevent EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR`; if true, the "Are you going to battle the LEADER?" line. This is a free read-out of whether Blue has been moved into the gym - see the gate table.
- `ViridianCityDreamEaterFisher` (`maps/ViridianCity.asm:50`): `checkevent EVENT_GOT_TM42_DREAM_EATER / iftrue .GotDreamEater`, else `writetext ... / promptbutton / verbosegiveitem TM_DREAM_EATER / iffalse .NoRoomForDreamEater / setevent EVENT_GOT_TM42_DREAM_EATER`. The walkthrough never mentions this; it is a free TM on the map the walkthrough tells you to fly to.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIRIDIAN` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:68` | set by `ViridianCityFlypointCallback` | Precondition for the walkthrough's "fly back to Viridian City" |
| `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1303` | read by `ViridianCityGrampsNearGym` and `ViridianPokecenter1FCooltrainerMScript`; it is also `CINNABARISLAND_BLUE`'s object event flag | While clear, Blue is standing on Cinnabar Island and has not yet moved to the gym |

**Trainers** - none on the overworld map.
**Wild encounters** - no `kanto_grass.asm` or `kanto_water.asm` entry for `VIRIDIAN_CITY`. Fishing group is `FISHGROUP_POND` (`data/maps/maps.asm:457`).

**Scripts of interest**
- `ViridianPokecenter1FNurseScript` (`maps/ViridianPokecenter1F.asm:12`): `jumpstd PokecenterNurseScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:54`). This is the "heal at the Pokémon Center" beat, both before and after Blue.
- `ViridianPokecenter1FCooltrainerMScript` (`maps/ViridianPokecenter1F.asm:15`): another `checkevent EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` read-out ("There are no GYM TRAINERS at the VIRIDIAN GYM"), which corroborates the walkthrough's "There aren't any other trainers in this gym".
### MAP_VIRIDIAN_GYM
- Script: `maps/ViridianGym.asm`
- Blocks: `maps/ViridianGym.blk` (`data/maps/blocks.asm:877` `ViridianGym_Blocks`)
- Header: `data/maps/maps.asm:458` -> `TILESET_TRAIN_STATION`, `INDOOR`, `LANDMARK_VIRIDIAN_CITY`, `MUSIC_GYM`, phone `TRUE`, `PALETTE_DAY`, `FISHGROUP_SHORE`
- Dimensions: `constants/map_constants.asm:424` `map_const VIRIDIAN_GYM, 5, 9` (10x18 cells)
- Connections: none (`data/maps/attributes.asm:657`)

**Warps** (`def_warp_events`)
| idx | x | y | destination map | dest warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 17 | `VIRIDIAN_CITY` | 1 |
| 2 | 5 | 17 | `VIRIDIAN_CITY` | 1 |
**Coord events** (`def_coord_events`) - none. There is no trip-wire in this gym; Blue is a pure talk-to trigger.
**BG events** (`def_bg_events`)
| x | y | type | script/item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 13 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `ViridianGymStatue` (sym `5f:4047`) |
| 6 | 13 | `BGEVENT_READ` | `ViridianGymStatue` |
**Object events** (`def_object_events`)

Both objects carry `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` as their event flag, so while that flag is **set** the gym is completely empty. `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` is set by `InitializeEventsScript` at new game (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:438`, the `setevent` on line 552) and is cleared only by `CinnabarIslandBlue`.
**Scripts of interest**
- `ViridianGymBlueScript` (`maps/ViridianGym.asm:10`, sym `5f:4002`), the whole badge beat, in order:
1. `faceplayer` / `opentext`
2. `checkflag ENGINE_EARTHBADGE` / `iftrue .FightDone` (sym `5f:402d`) - repeat visits get `LeaderBlueEpilogueText` only
3. `writetext LeaderBlueBeforeText` / `waitbutton` / `closetext`
4. `winlosstext LeaderBlueWinText, 0` (loss text pointer 0 = use the default)
5. `loadtrainer BLUE, BLUE1` / `startbattle` / `reloadmapafterbattle`
6. `setevent EVENT_BEAT_BLUE`
7. `opentext` / `writetext Text_ReceivedEarthBadge` / `playsound SFX_GET_BADGE` / `waitsfx`
8. `setflag ENGINE_EARTHBADGE`
9. `writetext LeaderBlueAfterText` / `waitbutton` / `closetext` / `end`
No `verbosegiveitem`: unlike Johto leaders, the Kanto leaders in GSC hand out no TM. The badge itself is the only reward besides money.
- `ViridianGymGuideScript` (`maps/ViridianGym.asm:39`, sym `5f:4033`): `checkevent EVENT_BEAT_BLUE / iftrue .ViridianGymGuideWinScript`. Pure flavor, no `learnmove`, no items.
- `ViridianGymStatue` (`maps/ViridianGym.asm:55`, sym `5f:4047`): `checkflag ENGINE_EARTHBADGE / iftrue .Beaten`; before the badge, `jumpstd GymStatue1Script` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:638`), after it `gettrainername STRING_BUFFER_4, BLUE, BLUE1` then `jumpstd GymStatue2Script` (`:646`). A cheap read-back a bot can use to confirm the badge landed.
**Flags and events**
| constant | defined in | read/written by | meaning for a bot |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENGINE_EARTHBADGE` | `constants/engine_flags.asm:54` (in `wKantoBadges`) | read by `ViridianGymBlueScript` and `ViridianGymStatue`; set by `ViridianGymBlueScript` | The 16th badge. Post-condition of this section |
| `EVENT_BEAT_BLUE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:722` | set by `ViridianGymBlueScript`, read by `ViridianGymGuideScript` | Set *before* the badge flag, between `reloadmapafterbattle` and `playsound` |
| `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1304` | set by `InitializeEventsScript` (`engine/events/std_scripts.asm:552`); cleared by `CinnabarIslandBlue` (`maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:23`) | While set, both gym objects are absent. This is the real gate on the whole section |
| `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR` | `constants/event_flags.asm:1303` | object flag of `CINNABARISLAND_BLUE` (`maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:143`), set by that script's `disappear` | Once set, Blue is gone from Cinnabar and (necessarily) present in the gym |
**Items** - none. No item balls, no `hiddenitem`, no TM reward.
**Trainers**
| const | class | id | party (`data/trainers/parties.asm` label) | script label | rematch/phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `BLUE` / `BLUE1` | 40 (`constants/trainer_constants.asm:640`) | `BLUE1` (`:641`) | `data/trainers/parties.asm:3154` `BlueGroup` (sym `0e:75ff`), `TRAINERTYPE_MOVES` | `ViridianGymBlueScript` | none (no phone entry; the map header's phone column is `TRUE` but no `phone_call` targets him) |
`BlueGroup` party, verbatim:
| # | level | species | moves |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 56 | PIDGEOT | QUICK_ATTACK, WHIRLWIND, WING_ATTACK, MIRROR_MOVE |
| 2 | 54 | ALAKAZAM | DISABLE, RECOVER, PSYCHIC_M, REFLECT |
| 3 | 56 | RHYDON | FURY_ATTACK, SANDSTORM, ROCK_SLIDE, EARTHQUAKE |
| 4 | 58 | GYARADOS | TWISTER, HYDRO_PUMP, RAIN_DANCE, HYPER_BEAM |
| 5 | 58 | EXEGGUTOR | SUNNY_DAY, LEECH_SEED, EGG_BOMB, SOLARBEAM |
| 6 | 58 | ARCANINE | ROAR, SWIFT, FLAMETHROWER, EXTREMESPEED |
Class attributes (`data/trainers/attributes.asm:383`): items `FULL_RESTORE, FULL_RESTORE` (the AI will use two Full Restores), base reward 25, AI `AI_BASIC | AI_SETUP | AI_SMART | AI_AGGRESSIVE | AI_CAUTIOUS | AI_STATUS | AI_RISKY`, `CONTEXT_USE | SWITCH_SOMETIMES`. Payout `4 x 25 x 58 = 5800`, matching the FAQ. `BLUE` is listed in `KantoGymLeaders` (`data/trainers/leaders.asm:31`), which is what selects the gym-leader battle/victory music and awards `HAPPINESS_GYMBATTLE`.
Walkthrough claims worth flagging against the party data: Pidgeot's flying move is `WING_ATTACK`, not Air Slash (which does not exist in Gen 2); Exeggutor's moves are `SUNNY_DAY, LEECH_SEED, EGG_BOMB, SOLARBEAM`, so it has neither Psychic nor Hypnosis; Arcanine's switch move is `ROAR`, Pidgeot's is `WHIRLWIND`.
**Wild encounters** - none (indoor map).
## 3. Blockers and gates
| Gate | Enforced by (file:label) | Requirement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reaching Routes 19/20 at all | `engine/events/overworld.asm:322` `SurfFunction` -> `.TrySurf` (`ld de, ENGINE_FOGBADGE / call CheckBadge`), and the tile-facing path `engine/events/overworld.asm:469` `TrySurfOW` (`ENGINE_FOGBADGE` via `CheckEngineFlag`, then `CheckPartyMove` for `SURF`) | FOGBADGE + a party member knowing SURF | Both routes are open water; without Surf there is no approach |
| Boulders across northern Route 19 | `maps/Route19.asm:15` `Route19ClearRocksCallback`, six `changeblock ..., $7a` under `checkevent EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED`; block `$7a` is `WALL` on all four quadrants (`data/tilesets/kanto_collision.asm:123`) | `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` | Set unconditionally by `maps/Route20.asm:12` `Route20ClearRocksCallback` on `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP`, i.e. by setting foot on Route 20 |
| Blue is not in the Viridian Gym | Object event flag `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` on both `maps/ViridianGym.asm:183-184` objects; set at new game by `engine/events/std_scripts.asm:552` inside `InitializeEventsScript` | Flag must be **clear** | `maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:14` `CinnabarIslandBlue`: talk to Blue on Cinnabar Island; the script runs `disappear CINNABARISLAND_BLUE` (setting `EVENT_BLUE_IN_CINNABAR`) then `clearevent EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE`. This happens in an earlier section, but a bot that skipped it will find an empty gym |
| Flying to Viridian City | `maps/ViridianCity.asm:13` `ViridianCityFlypointCallback` (`setflag ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIRIDIAN`), plus `engine/events/overworld.asm:529` `FlyFunction` (`ld de, ENGINE_STORMBADGE`) and the landmark row `data/maps/flypoints.asm:19` | STORMBADGE + a party member knowing FLY + Viridian visited once on foot | Walk into Viridian City once (Route 1 north, Route 2 south, or Route 22 east). Otherwise reach the gym overland |
| Re-fighting Blue | `maps/ViridianGym.asm:13` `checkflag ENGINE_EARTHBADGE / iftrue .FightDone` | - | Not possible; the battle is one-shot and there is no rematch or phone entry |
| (Next section) Mt. Silver | `maps/OaksLab.asm:26` `readvar VAR_BADGES / ifequal NUM_BADGES, .OpenMtSilver` -> `setevent EVENT_OPENED_MT_SILVER` | All 16 badges, EARTHBADGE last | Beating Blue here is what satisfies it |
Note on the Route 19 approach: the officer in `maps/Route19FuchsiaGate.asm` never blocks a tile, and `maps/Route19.asm` has no coord events. There is no NPC blocker anywhere in this section - every obstacle is either terrain (`changeblock`) or a hidden object (`EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE`).
## 4. Bot checklist
Preconditions for the whole section: `ENGINE_FOGBADGE` + SURF in party, `EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` clear, `ENGINE_FLYPOINT_VIRIDIAN` set (or an overland plan to Viridian).

## 5. Port coverage
| Beat | Port file | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Map header, blocks, warps, coord/bg/object events for all six maps | `src/import/RomExtractorGen2.lua:782` `readMapEvents`, `:899` (map assembly) | implemented - the tables are read out of the ROM generically, so no per-map data is hand-written |
| `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` / `MAPCALLBACK_TILES` dispatch (needed for both rock callbacks and the Viridian fly point) | `src/world/gen2/World.lua:5659`, `:5664` | implemented |
| `changeblock` (Route 19 boulders) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:1002` (halves x/y to block coords, calls `changeBlockFn`) | implemented |
| `setevent` / `clearevent` / `checkevent`, object-event hide flags | `src/world/gen2/Events.lua`, `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` | implemented |
| `setflag` / `checkflag` on `ENGINE_*` (EARTHBADGE, FLYPOINT_VIRIDIAN) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua:212-223`, `:1584` | implemented |
| Surf field move + FOGBADGE check | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:101` (badge table), `:482` (`SurfFunction` port) | implemented |
| Fly field move + STORMBADGE + flypoint gating | `src/world/gen2/FieldMoves.lua:501-505` | implemented |
| Trainer sight cones / `OBJECTTYPE_TRAINER` (sight 3 swimmers, sight 0 Tucker and Dawn) | `src/world/gen2/Trainers.lua:98` `Trainers.sees` | implemented |
| `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SPINRANDOM_FAST` swimmers | `src/world/gen2/Npc.lua:23`, `:37`, `:68` | implemented |
| `loadtrainer` / `startbattle` / `winlosstext` / `reloadmapafterbattle` / `endifjustbattled` | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua`, `src/script/gen2/Opcodes.lua` | implemented |
| Prize money, including the 4x split and Bank of Mom | `src/battle/gen2/Prize.lua:82` `Prize.reward`, `:181` (four quarters) | implemented |
| Gym-leader battle/victory music via `GymLeaders` / `KantoGymLeaders` | `src/battle/gen2/BattleMusic.lua:15-33` | implemented |
| Kanto badge page on the trainer card (EARTHBADGE displayed) | `src/ui/gen2/TrainerCard.lua:90`, `:161` | implemented |
| `verbosegiveitem` (TM42 in Viridian City) | `src/script/gen2/Vm.lua` (`verbosegiveitem`) | implemented |
| A driver that actually plays this stretch (Routes 19/20 surf trainers, Blue) | none - `tests/drivers/` has `gold_trainer_smoke.lua`, `gold_water_moves.lua`, `gold_map_callbacks.lua`, but nothing that reaches Kanto Route 19/20 or Viridian Gym | missing |
| Section-specific regression coverage for `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` sequencing | not found by grep in `tests/` | missing |
Every "implemented" row above is a generic engine capability, not a hand-port of these maps. Nothing in `src/` names `ROUTE_19`, `ROUTE_20` or `VIRIDIAN_GYM` (the only grep hits are `src/save_convert/data/event_flags_yellow.lua`, which is Gen 1 save conversion data and unrelated). So this section should work if the extractor and VM work, but it has never been exercised end to end.
## 6. Unresolved / verify by hand
1. **The walkthrough's boulder claim contradicts the asm.** "You can't go further north because you'll be blocked by those boulders south of Fuchsia City" is only true while `EVENT_CINNABAR_ROCKS_CLEARED` is clear. `maps/Route20.asm:12` `Route20ClearRocksCallback` sets that event on `MAPCALLBACK_NEWMAP` with no condition at all, and the walkthrough routes the player through Route 20 to reach Route 19. By the time the player is standing on Route 19 the six `changeblock` rocks are never placed, so northern Route 19 and the Fuchsia gate at `(7, 3)` are open. Treat the FAQ line as stale prose, not a gate. (What is genuinely true is that the FAQ's suggested Fly is faster than swimming back.)
2. **Route 19's north connection vs. the gate warp.** `data/maps/attributes.asm:288` declares `connection north, FuchsiaCity, FUCHSIA_CITY, 0`, and there is *also* a warp to `ROUTE_19_FUCHSIA_GATE`. I did not decode `maps/Route19.blk` to determine whether the top block row is actually walkable, so I cannot say whether the north connection is reachable or purely decorative. Verify by hand before a bot relies on either route out.
3. **Two trainers the walkthrough omits.** `TrainerSwimmermCameron` on Route 20 at `(12, 13)` (L34 MARILL) and `TrainerSwimmermHarold` on Route 19 at `(13, 28)` (L32 REMORAID, L30 SEADRA) both exist with sight range 3. The FAQ says "that's all the trainers" for Route 19, which is wrong. A bot surfing the full map will get pulled into both.
4. **Blue's move set does not match the FAQ's strategy text.** The FAQ names Air Slash (Pidgeot) and Psychic + Hypnosis (Exeggutor); `data/trainers/parties.asm:3154` gives Pidgeot `QUICK_ATTACK, WHIRLWIND, WING_ATTACK, MIRROR_MOVE` and Exeggutor `SUNNY_DAY, LEECH_SEED, EGG_BOMB, SOLARBEAM`. Air Slash does not exist in Gen 2. Do not build AI expectations from the FAQ prose here.
5. **The FAQ's "Blue is one of only two trainers tougher than Champion Lance"** is a subjective claim with no asm counterpart; nothing in `data/trainers/` ranks trainers.
6. **`EVENT_VIRIDIAN_GYM_BLUE` is set in a prior section.** The walkthrough never mentions meeting Blue on Cinnabar Island, but `maps/CinnabarIsland.asm:23` is the only `clearevent` for that flag anywhere in the tree. If an earlier section's document does not cover `CinnabarIslandBlue`, this is an orphaned precondition and a bot will find an empty Viridian Gym with no in-game hint beyond `ViridianCityGrampsNearGym`.
7. **Blue's map header sets the phone column to `TRUE`** (`data/maps/maps.asm:458`, the `ViridianGym` row). I found no `phone_call` or rematch entry naming `BLUE`, so I believe this is inert, but I did not exhaustively read `data/phone/`.
