## Issue
We want to discard-but-remember any slots that aren't a perfect fit, on the off chance that a better one exists later in the search space. If there's no better match, then we gotta go with what we got.
## Example:
Wurmple exists in area `X`, and also has a more rare slot for Silcoon, with the same level for both slots.
* We have a Silcoon that we've leveled up a few times.
Was our Silcoon originally a Wurmple, or was it caught as a Silcoon?
* To be sure, we have to check the EC/PID if the Wurmple wouldn't evolve into Cascoon instead.
* We don't want to wholly reject that Wurmple slot, as maybe the Met Level isn't within Silcoon's slot range.

Existing implementation would store "deferred" matches in a list; we only need to keep 1 of these matches around (less allocation!). We also want to differentiate between a "good" deferral and a "bad" deferral; I don't think this is necessary but it's currently used by Mystery Gift matching (implemented for the Eeveelution mystery gifts which matter for evolution moves).
The existing logic didn't use inheritance, and instead had static methods being reused across generations. Quite kludgy. Also, the existing logic was a pain to modify the master encounter yield methods, as one generation's quirks had to not impact all other generations that used the method.
---
The new implementation splits out the encounter yielding methods to be separate for each generation / subset. Now, things don't have to check `WasLink` for Gen7 origin, because Pokémon Link wasn't a thing in Gen7.
---
## Future
Maybe refactoring yielders into "GameCores" that expose yielding behaviors / properties, rather than the static logic. As more generations and side-gamegroups get added (thanks LGPE/GO/GameCube), all this switch stuff gets annoying to maintain instead of just overriding/inheritance.
## Conclusion
This shouldn't impact any legality results negatively; if you notice any regressions, report them! This should reduce false flags where we didn't defer-discard an encounter when we should have (wild area mons being confused with raids).
Closes#3133
not an ideal solution, but the encounter matching API is kinda limited in deferred-invalid vs deferred-notIdeal.
probably need to unify the match logic and generators so they can cache one secondary-check invalid
Retain a stringbuilder to mutate the string rather than finalizing temporary strings
yields some speed improvements (less gen0 string objects allocated)
AltForm & Form & Forme => Form
GenNumber & Generation => Generation
Extract out SpeciesForm interface, and re-add IGeneration
For those using PKHeX as a dependency, this should be a pretty straightforward manual replacement... GenNumber and AltForm should be quick find-replace`s.
Closes#3009
Make QRPK7 implement IEncounterable and remove hardcoded PKHeX strings
Let force hatching for WC3 eggs try to hatch from the savefile's language, then revert to english if failed to set an OT.
Move Home8 location to Locations.cs for documentation
Move FestaFacility to correct folder
Remove unnecessary public modifier on interface method
Pass the program's Version to any loaded plugins, if they wanted to check compatibility...?
Closes#2990 ty @Atrius97 !
Remove the `object Content` accessor only used for Mystery Gifts (used to trickle up the PKM object since the two ribbon interfaces weren't implemented on the IEncounterable). Just make PCD/PGT implement the ribbon interfaces and delegate the get/set to PKM directly.
Rewrite the national ribbon check for clarity
Optimize invalid/missing ribbon string replace to operate on the final string rather than do linq and replace each input. With this we make 1 temp string only, rather than 1-per-ribbon.
Replace hardcoded "Ribbon" strings to use a shared const string in a central spot.
Closes#2984

Still some pending stuff like bad mystery gifts
gen2 static encounters on g/s applying met level and not location
gen6 ralts trade (no nickname) being flagged as nicknamed when it shouldn't
gen4 manaphy egg not having a hatch location (worked fine if you transferred it up)
gen3 antishiny gifts not setting their PIDs (jirachi WC3)
gen5 N's pkm gifts setting the wrong nature
gen3 unown not being generated correctly, cosplay pikachu being allowed form0, non-BugCatchingContest no longer require Sport ball, oras dexnav marill now uses the azurill eggmove table
Revise some logic flow and add comments indicating why
There is no wc.Gender==3 for any gift; that's not how things are specified in GameFreak's internal tool (suspected).
