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.
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.
* Heavily rewrites the `PKH` abstractions.
* Uses HOME's core-side classes as the transfer middlemen instead of direct A->B transfers.
* Revises logic to account for most of HOME's quirks (scale/height copying, safe refuge PLA)
Future revisions hinge on better handling of evotree (need better metadata about existing as specific evolutions in each game).

Much easier to read.
Optionals no longer store the 3-byte header in their memory reference.
If they were smart, they could track per-game visitation date/time in a future header format...
Fixes adding new side-formats and an updated header not writing the first time.
Fixes GameDataPK8.CopyTo where PokeJob data copies from the wrong segment
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".
* 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.
