Remove hardcoded chunk lengths array
Remove cached chunk index array
Handle new-game files correctly (all blocks present check).
Consistently call things sector instead of chunk or block.
Somehow there was a bug with my FRLG save file's box data, which now loads completely?? Neat
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)
plugin adds a reader -> reader checks if it is a non-PKHeX.Core save type (they'd implement their own savefile/etc type) -> returns a matching save object if so
basically bypasses the base PKHeX logic
path.getfilename will never return null unless you pass null, which we don't do
setchecksums' base method does the AllBlocks.SetChecksums. move the battle team set to right before the usage of SetChecksums
Disassociate pk4/pk6 backing byte[] when converting to pk5|pk7, as we no longer make a copy of the byte[] in the pkm's constructor.
Change UpdatePKM to include isParty, as we want it optional to update FormArgument too.
Change FormArgument saving to be handled by FormConverter; kinda not really good to have it there, but nothing else is handling FormArgument values.
Expand IFormArgument to have all FormArgument values exposed. "Maximum" is furfrou only.
PK6: Max is in the "FormArgument" u32, and the remain/elapsed is in party stats (hence the reverting when boxed)
PK7: u8 remain, u8 elapsed, u8 max, u8 unused.
PK8: assumedly the same as PK7, given the disassembly hints that it's the same as past games (even though Furfrou and Hoopa are not in SWSH).
## 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).
Retain a stringbuilder to mutate the string rather than finalizing temporary strings
yields some speed improvements (less gen0 string objects allocated)
Closes#2954 ; can set directly from propertygrid already, but might as well clean things up a little bit to match the disassembly logic.
Open the simple editor center parent rather than next-form-position
don't use FIPS compliant hashing methods explicitly, no real reason to. hash.Create() will select managed vs csp depending on the framework/core and reg flags.
add >net46 incremental hash logic for swsh
remove static sha256 instance (single threaded overkill)
Further improvements can be made if there's a way to have a union struct (4 u16s, lumped u64) that has a simple 4bit diagonal mirror operation on it. Can be at least twice as fast.
Benchmarking with optimizations shows about 80-90% of the prior time taken, so at least a 10% speed optimization
Rarely used, was fun to try and optimize a little more.
Eliminate bounds checks by accessing/setting the highest element, and only index twice instead of 6x.
Eliminate u16 casts by leaving as int type (same result)
Eliminate temp value caching and instead directly write to storage. (no more _0123).
End result looks neat too, since the >> 0's removed looks like a diagonal, like the nibble rotation :D
Add xmldoc
Remove linq from memecrypto code (speed lmao)
Hide some methods that shouldn't be called directly
Name variables better for accessor const's
GCI, DSV, DUC are already supported, so I've written the abstraction for those and seed the Handler list on startup.
Can add a new class with recognition via SaveUtil.Handlers.Add(myHandler);
