Quicker than creating defensive copies for each Parse call. Do the same for IV-set passing.
Not worth for binlinker as it's never passed multiple times / deref'd often.
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.
More performant byte->str performance (no longer needing to hash byte and fetch bucket), unmeasured str->byte performance, but it is the same implementation as Gen3 which is not a bottleneck.
Reduces the dll size by 80KB, and RAM usage by an unmeasured (likely similar amount). Better startup speeds since multiple dictionaries do not need to be allocated and created.
Moves Gen1 trainer names (0x5D) to Transporter class, and remove Korean entry (not legally obtainable since there's only Gen2 Korean games and Gen2 Korean VC cannot trade with international).
Hard verify Gen1 trainer name for language, since 0x5D is the ROM transfer language. Nickname can still be from any of the connected games.
This refactor makes it easier to use a different charmap for byte<->str for Boxes (see #4027) and the language differences. We have a master table that "works" for all text name entry, but localizations differ for some glyphs accessible in the box naming UI.

Rename `EReader` bool to `IsEReader`
Extract Gender/Nature fetch for unfixed encounters
Remove Unown PIDIV branch when template has no Unown

Fix implementation as all uses are checking IVs Speed Last, but the method wasn't thinking like that.
Improve base ROM raids for SWSH to ensure the Rank roll matches the output.
Skip string fetch for Trade1
Set gender for Trade8
Add record to wrap Gen8 raid generate params, return & use bool for filtering results, fallback to unrestricted if none succeed
Fix gender comparison for Entree5 slot
Simplify gen2 ResetKey fetch (byte sum of Money/ID/OT(used)
Closes#3970 by filtering gender inside the method like Encounter9RNG with an early return
Adds IV filtering inside the method with an early return like Encounter9RNG
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.
