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.
EncounterEgg now indicates FixedBall(Poke) for Gen2-5
EncounterSlot2 now indicates Form Random for Gen2 Unown, database
EncounterStatic3 now generates FRLG Gen2 Roamers with correct location
EncounterCriteria now used more heavily for requested IVs
EncounterPossible3 now correctly skips Eggs if eggs are not requested
EncounterGift3Colo now generates Japanese Bonus disk gifts only in Japanese, doesn't validate non-Japanese
Relocate checksum adders to Checksums class, improve performance by eliminating slice calls
Improve HOME sharing for GO8 and IMoveset encounters: actually sanity check GO8, and skip other non-PK7/PB7 cases.
Runtime/jit repoints these to the dll rather than heap if we're Little Endian (always, otherwise will allocate like before).
Eliminates quite a few static constructors, so even faster startup. Items later.
* 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.
Existing `get`/`set` logic is flawed in that it doesn't work on Big Endian operating systems, and it allocates heap objects when it doesn't need to.
`System.Buffers.Binary.BinaryPrimitives` in the `System.Memory` NuGet package provides both Little Endian and Big Endian methods to read and write data; all the `get`/`set` operations have been reworked to use this new API. This removes the need for PKHeX's manual `BigEndian` class, as all functions are already covered by the BinaryPrimitives API.
The `StringConverter` has now been rewritten to accept a Span to read from & write to, no longer requiring a temporary StringBuilder.
Other Fixes included:
- The Super Training UI for Gen6 has been reworked according to the latest block structure additions.
- Cloning a Stadium2 Save File now works correctly (opening from the Folder browser list).
- Checksum & Sanity properties removed from parent PKM class, and is now implemented via interface.
More in line with modernizing the codebase with latest c# syntax
improve web-qr decode speed slightly (no linq skiptake)
get money/coin mask without a temporary string (lol performance)
Extract RSBOX checksum logic to checksum class
Allocate half as much for gen3 save detect
Simplify some expressions for GC save loading (x - size + offset, when x==size)
