In addition to the Method 1 (and other sibling PIDIV types) correlation, an encounter can only be triggered if the calls prior land on the Method {1} seed. The RNG community has dubbed these patterns as "Method J" (D/P/Pt), "Method K" (HG/SS), and "Method H" (Gen3, coined by yours truly). The basic gist of these is that they are pre-requisites, like the Shadow locks of Colosseum/XD.
Rename/re-type a bunch of properties to get the codebase more in line with correct property names & more obvious underlying types.

With the new version of Visual Studio bringing C# 12, we can revise our logic for better readability as well as use new methods/APIs introduced in the .NET 8.0 BCL.
We implement simple state machine iterators to iterate through every split type encounter array, and more finely control the path we iterate through. And, by using generics, we can have the compiler generate optimized code to avoid virtual calls.
In addition to this, we shift away from the big-5 encounter types and not inherit from an abstract class. This allows for creating a PK* of a specific type and directly writing properties (no virtual calls). Plus we can now fine-tune each encounter type to call specific code, and not have to worry about future game encounter types bothering the generation routines.
Like move validation, evolutions are the earliest thing we wish to traverse when determining what encounters may have originated the current Pokémon. To determine the permitted species-form-levels a Pokémon could originate with, we must devolve a Pokémon by traveling down-generation to origin. Once we have an encounter, we can then evolve it to the current species, traversing upwards from origin to the current format.
Updates from net46->net7, dropping support for mono in favor of using the latest runtime (along with the performance/API improvements). Releases will be posted as 64bit only for now.
Refactors a good amount of internal API methods to be more performant and more customizable for future updates & fixes.
Adds functionality for Batch Editor commands to `>`, `<` and <=/>=
TID/SID properties renamed to TID16/SID16 for clarity; other properties exposed for Gen7 / display variants.
Main window has a new layout to account for DPI scaling (8 point grid)

Fixed: Traded SV eggs are now checked correctly (closes#3692)
In this pull request I've changed a ton of method signatures to reflect the more-narrow types of Species, Move# and Form; additionally, I've narrowed other large collections that stored lists of species / permitted values, and reworked them to be more performant with the latest API spaghetti that PKHeX provides. Roamer met locations, usually in a range of [max-min]<64, can be quickly checked using a bitflag operation on a UInt64. Other collections (like "Is this from Colosseum or XD") were eliminated -- shadow state is not transferred COLO<->XD, so having a Shadow ID or matching the met location from a gift/wild encounter is a sufficient check for "originated in XD".
Rewrites a good amount of legality APIs pertaining to:
* Legal moves that can be learned
* Evolution chains & cross-generation paths
* Memory validation with forgotten moves
In generation 8, there are 3 separate contexts an entity can exist in: SW/SH, BD/SP, and LA. Not every entity can cross between them, and not every entity from generation 7 can exist in generation 8 (Gogoat, etc). By creating class models representing the restrictions to cross each boundary, we are able to better track and validate data.
The old implementation of validating moves was greedy: it would iterate for all generations and evolutions, and build a full list of every move that can be learned, storing it on the heap. Now, we check one game group at a time to see if the entity can learn a move that hasn't yet been validated. End result is an algorithm that requires 0 allocation, and a smaller/quicker search space.
The old implementation of storing move parses was inefficient; for each move that was parsed, a new object is created and adjusted depending on the parse. Now, move parse results are `struct` and store the move parse contiguously in memory. End result is faster parsing and 0 memory allocation.
* `PersonalTable` objects have been improved with new API methods to check if a species+form can exist in the game.
* `IEncounterTemplate` objects have been improved to indicate the `EntityContext` they originate in (similar to `Generation`).
* Some APIs have been extended to accept `Span<T>` instead of Array/IEnumerable
* Revises legality checks to account for traveling between the three game islands (PLA/BDSP/SWSH)
* Adds conversion mechanisms between the three formats, as well as flexible conversion options to backfill missing data (thanks GameFreak/ILCA for opting for lossy conversion instead of updating the games).
* Adds API abstractions for HOME data storage format (EKH/PKH format 1, aka EH1/PH1).
* Revises some APIs for better usage:
- `PKM` now exposes a `Context` to indicate the isolation context for legality purposes.
- Some method signatures have changed to accept `Context` or `GameVersion` instead of a vague `int` for Generation.
- Evolution History is now tracked in the Legality parse for specific contexts, rather than only per generation.
* Make EvolutionCriteria struct
8 bytes per object instead of 26
Unify LevelMin/LevelMax to match EncounterTemplate
bubble up precise array type for better iteration
* Inline queue operations, less allocation
* Inline some logic
* Update EvolutionChain.cs
* Improve clarity on duplicate move check
* Search reverse
For a dual stage chain, finds it first iteration rather than second.
Since we have more metadata with move learn sourcing, we can check if it was traded to gen2 to get new moves / deleted.
Adjust call sites appropriately
might have some issues, to be ironed out maybe
Check per-evolution min level rather than basing it on the original encounter data.
Correctly parses stuff like a captured level 23 Nidorina that immediately evolves into Nidoqueen, then learns Body Slam.
Passing zero is better than passing 1, as 0 requires no value pushing.
tidy up method signatures in MoveLevelUp so that species is followed by form, and the lookups are textually aligned. Clarify "maxLevel" instead of max/lvl, same as min.
Add dragonite to the uncapturable list, removes catchrate comparison for dragonite since it's filtered out.
Skip some linq by doing the loop directly in the method. Replace local methods with captured variables with direct if-returns.
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.
Introducing a new PKM format: SK2
Split ICaughtData2 off of PK2 so it can be shared with SK2 when type-checks occur
Add conversion for PK2<->SK2
Split the split-buffer handling for GBPKM to GBPKML (what a name), so that I can reuse shared accessor logic for SK2.
Move logic closer to where it is used rather than in larger static classes
EncounterStatic(7): move VC transfer template creation to class, simplify some sanity checks
EvoChain: g==2 case is never hit as the generation check at the top of the loop already skips
Get the variable rather than indexing into the array each time
Simplify some expressions in sav7 for readability
Make SAV_EventFlags use comboitem explicitly by type rather than an anonymous type with same member names
Thanks MrPerson0 on discord for notifying us of this mechanic. Stadium 2 can utilize Gen1 learnset data while keeping them in PK2 format, retaining the met data.
