## 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.
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.
all but egg exposed it; now, just make egg expose it and remove the unnecessary interface
we still need to Set generation for non-eggs/mgift, so have a separate Settable interface for internal purposes.
* Handle some nullable cases
Refactor MysteryGift into a second abstract class (backed by a byte array, or fake data)
Make some classes have explicit constructors instead of { } initialization
* Handle bits more obviously without null
* Make SaveFile.BAK explicitly readonly again
* merge constructor methods to have readonly fields
* Inline some properties
* More nullable handling
* Rearrange box actions
define straightforward classes to not have any null properties
* Make extrabyte reference array immutable
* Move tooltip creation to designer
* Rearrange some logic to reduce nesting
* Cache generated fonts
* Split mystery gift album purpose
* Handle more tooltips
* Disallow null setters
* Don't capture RNG object, only type enum
* Unify learnset objects
Now have readonly properties which are never null
don't new() empty learnsets (>800 Learnset objects no longer created,
total of 2400 objects since we also new() a move & level array)
optimize g1/2 reader for early abort case
* Access rewrite
Initialize blocks in a separate object, and get via that object
removes a couple hundred "might be null" warnings since blocks are now readonly getters
some block references have been relocated, but interfaces should expose all that's needed
put HoF6 controls in a groupbox, and disable
* Readonly personal data
* IVs non nullable for mystery gift
* Explicitly initialize forced encounter moves
* Make shadow objects readonly & non-null
Put murkrow fix in binary data resource, instead of on startup
* Assign dex form fetch on constructor
Fixes legality parsing edge cases
also handle cxd parse for valid; exit before exception is thrown in FrameGenerator
* Remove unnecessary null checks
* Keep empty value until init
SetPouch sets the value to an actual one during load, but whatever
* Readonly team lock data
* Readonly locks
Put locked encounters at bottom (favor unlocked)
* Mail readonly data / offset
Rearrange some call flow and pass defaults
Add fake classes for SaveDataEditor mocking
Always party size, no need to check twice in stat editor
use a fake save file as initial data for savedata editor, and for
gamedata (wow i found a usage)
constrain eventwork editor to struct variable types (uint, int, etc),
thus preventing null assignment errors
Closes#2040 , adds test cases:
invalid bulbasaur.wc3: hidden ability
invalid charmander.pcd: hidden ability
valid camerupt: gen3->4 unevolved mismatch
valid leafeon: pcd mismatch -> evolved now matching
should be much easier to maintain; methods are reused with less overall
nesting
If one wanted to extend ConvertToPKM to other IEncounterables, this
would be the provided obj containing the receiver's info
allows pkm gen without a savefile, which is nice?
indicates met location for transferred mons
most gen1/2 encounters won't show values due to the location not being
stored respective to the string tables (anyone wanna do a location remap
after initial load?)
previously was only defined for gen1/2, why not all gens
can now query encounters in Core for encounters per generation via
reflection; can help group encounters for data vis or be faster than
getting individual gen numbers
don't bother converting to pkm then generating the sprite off that; use
the overload with int/bool
removes sav/pkm dependency for generating gift descriptions, and
standardizes the names a little. maybe a PKMBase interface would be
useful...
fixes 10ANIV pikachu having Thunderbolt twice
un-duplicates CHANNEL event data
adds seed->PIDIV generator template for M1/2/4, CXD, Channel, and BACD
improve pkm converter to update nickname of hatched eggs. isn't perfect
(farfetch'd) but works better than before
