Old: when an encounter is found, we copied the contents of the list into our analysis list.
Since we stop when we find a suitable encounter, the old list is useless. By sharing the same list, there's no consequence. Reduces allocation by ~56B each analysis object!
Simplification reduces the amount of method calls by 1
EncounterArea now stores a more specific type'd array for encounter slots. Better iteration and less casting, as the nonspecific `Slots` fetch is rarely referenced.
EncounterType renamed to GroundTile to reflect how it actually works in Gen4. Was previously an ambiguous field that was clarified a little; we can describe it a little better now. Keep the GUI the same to not scare the end users.
Change Trash Byte properties to get/set a Span. Trash Byte legality checking easier on the garbage collector?
* Track a PKM's Box,Slot,StorageFlags,Identifier metadata separately
Don't store within the object, track the slot origin data separately.
Batch editing now pre-filters if using Box/Slot/Identifier logic; split up mods/filters as they're starting to get pretty hefty.
- Requesting a Box Data report now shows all slots in the save file (party, misc)
- Can now exclude backup saves from database search via toggle (separate from settings preventing load entirely)
- Replace some linq usages with direct code
* Remove WasLink virtual in PKM
Inline any logic, since we now have encounter objects to indicate matching, rather than the proto-legality logic checking properties of a PKM.
* Use Fateful to directly check gen5 mysterygift origins
No other encounter types in gen5 apply Fateful
* Simplify double ball comparison
Used to be separate for deferral cases, now no longer needed to be separate.
* Grab move/relearn reference and update locally
Fix relearn move identifier
* Inline defog HM transfer preference check
HasMove is faster than getting moves & checking contains. Skips allocation by setting values directly.
* Extract more met location metadata checks: WasBredEgg
* Replace Console.Write* with Debug.Write*
There's no console output UI, so don't include them in release builds.
* Inline WasGiftEgg, WasEvent, and WasEventEgg logic
Adios legality tags that aren't entirely correct for the specific format. Just put the computations in EncounterFinder.
## 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).
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.
