game3 prints every string with the US cart's Latin font, and FrlgFont has
no glyph for a kana, so a Japanese translation of FireRed would print
blank. The US cart still carries its Japanese fonts, which its text
printer draws for a string in Japanese mode (pokefirered/src/text.c:141,
:227): pret builds them into the US ROM, with the normal font's width
table.
The font extractor now bakes both, the normal font from its eight-to-a-row
layout (DecompressGlyph_Normal, text.c:1452) with its widths and the small
one sixteen to a row (DecompressGlyph_Small, text.c:1372), as
chrome/fonts/japanese_{normal,small}_{fg,shadow}.rgba and
japanese_widths.lua. LeafGreen's addresses follow the same -0x24 shift as
the rest of text.o. Cache version 120 re-imports existing caches.
FrlgFont numbers a Japanese character by its byte in the Japanese block of
pokefirered/charmap.txt (kana 01-A0, the full-width space, ！？。ー), plus
the symbols the font keeps at the Latin block's codes in their full-width
forms (digits, letters, 『』「」, 円, ／, ：), offset past the Latin
glyphs. A character with no Latin glyph draws from the Japanese sheet, at
the width the cart gives it (the table for the normal font, 8px for the
small one). Latin text is drawn as before.
The party, the PC boxes and the release animation drew an egg with the icon
of the species it will hatch into, so a Pichu egg showed as a Pichu. pret's
party menu picks the icon from GetMonData(MON_DATA_SPECIES_OR_EGG), which is
SPECIES_EGG for any egg (pokefirered/src/pokemon.c:3245, party_menu.c:2655).
Pokemon.speciesOrEgg does the same, and the icon call sites use it. The
species pass only extracted icons up to NUM_SPECIES - 1, so the egg extractor
now also bakes gMonIconTable[SPECIES_EGG] as pokemon/icons/412.rgba. Cache
version 114 re-imports existing caches so the icon appears.
Two Birth Island visuals were missing against pokefirered.
The rock never reddened as the puzzle progressed. pret loads
sDeoxysObjectPals[num] into the rock's OBJ palette (field_specials.c:2398);
the engine can only substitute colours into the already-baked sprite, and the
ramp it matched against held the .pal ASCII values (32/82/139) while the ROM
bakes 33/82/140, so almost every pixel missed the lookup. ROCK_PALS now holds
the 8-bit expansion of the ROM ramp at 0x3F6206 (verified byte-exact against
all 11 palettes), sourcePalette() supplies the pristine colours the meteorite
is baked with, and recolour_sprite falls back to the nearest source colour
within a small tolerance so a one-unit rounding difference can never silently
kill the swap again. A swap that matches nothing now returns nil and says so.
The rock vanished instead of shattering. FLDEFF_DESTROY_DEOXYS_ROCK already
ran the camera shake and thunder, but the fragment stage had no artwork and
moved the shards wrongly. Added the four 8x8 tiles from ROM 0x3CBDB0 with
palette 0x3F6346 (ramp step 10, the awakened red pret inherits from the rock);
decoding them through the field-effect extractor reproduces the original
graphics exactly, so no nibble handling was needed. The shards now all spawn
at the rock's own corner and travel +/-16 x / +/-12 y per frame with no
gravity (field_effect.c:3993), dropping out once they leave the viewport, while
the shake decays from amplitude 4 and the rock is removed.
Cache version 111 forces existing caches to re-import so the new sheet appears.

- Hidden Items & Itemfinder (fixes#2314):
* Extract BG_EVENT_HIDDEN_ITEM (kind 7) from GBA ROM with proper flag calculation (0x3E8 + id), underfoot flags, and quantities.
* Implement overworld Itemfinder scan logic (7-tile radius, directional response, underfoot detection, SFX 65, and OEM text).
* Wire up Bag Menu Itemfinder dispatch to overworld field runtime.
- Opponent Battle HUD Caught Marker (fixes#2313):
* Add authentic Pokédex caught Poké Ball icon (B_INTERFACE_GFX_BALL_CAUGHT / tile 70) to opponent healthbox.
* Match pokefirered parity in TryAddPokeballIconToHealthbox (wild encounters only, non-tutorial, non-ghost, checked against Dex).
* Ensure status ailment icons (PSN, PAR, SLP, FRZ, BRN) take rendering priority over the caught ball marker.
- Level-Up Learnset & Movepool Assignment (fixes#2315):
* Fix wild and generated Pokémon moveset assignment to assign the 4 most recent level-up moves up to the current level instead of getting stuck on basic moves (e.g. Tackle).
- Easy Chat / Profile Quick Chat:
* Extract full word groups, categories, and dictionary entries from ROM.
* Build Easy Chat interface with group selection, paginated word lists, and alphabetized filtering.
* Fix dialog text overflowing when exiting profile / quick chat prompts.
- Nurse Joy & PC Storage / Map Polishing:
* Implement Nurse Joy healing tray animation flow and audio cues in standard scripts.
* Fix PC storage box header/wallpaper rendering and storage data extraction.
* Correct Sevii Islands / Island 1 map section lookups and region map coordinate handling.
* Fix circular dependency in battle residual handlers (partialTrap).

Add ROM-backed contextual L/R help with article navigation and safe pause/resume. Record recent field scenes and gameplay events for the skippable Continue recap, with playback isolated from live progress.
Integrate extraction and cache validation, preserve bundled script flags during import, and cover navigation, persistence, event recording, playback isolation, and both ROM revisions with tests.
- Change application ID to 'com.theboisclub.pokemonred.dev' for development builds.
- Introduce FireRed manifest handling in build scripts and ensure its validation during packaging.
- Update various scripts to include FireRed resources in the build process.
- fixed a lot of the cachefs extraction to work on android
- Implement pure ROM extraction for Trainer Card backgrounds and badges
- Connect TrainerCardExtract to RomExtractorGen3 and CacheContract
- Update TrainerCard, FrlgFont, Chrome, PcChrome, PokedexChrome, and SummaryChrome to route exclusively through CacheFs
- Remove all legacy fallback paths to src/import/gba/chrome and hardcoded pret directories
- Add standalone procedural fallbacks for field effects and Pokecenter heal
- Align CacheContract firered overrides with pure ROM extraction
- Fix door animation extraction tile sizes, palettes, and strides
- Update storage chrome, pokedex, summary, and battle chrome extractors
- Ensure 100% self-contained ROM extraction without external dependencies
GEN2_STATUS_IDS (psn/brn/frz/par/paralysis/slp -> Gen 2's own registry ids)
was declared verbatim in both PartyMenu.lua and SummaryMenu.lua; move it to
Status.GEN2_ID_ALIASES so a future status alias fix only has one copy to
update.
SummaryMenu.TYPE_NAMES was left behind after this branch switched its two
former internal uses to the shared TypeChart.displayName/DISPLAY_NAMES; it
has no remaining callers anywhere in src/ or tests/.
- Updated .gitignore to include new generated assets for the Surfing Pikachu minigame.
