## Ramp Prize (was "rubyPondBumper")
- `rubyPondBumperHitFlag` -> `rampPrizeType` -- controls Nuzleaf ramp prize (0=none, 1=1UP, 2-100=powerUp). Not pond-related at all, it's the prize platform at the top of the Ruby ramp.
- `rubyPondBumperTimer` -> `rampPrizeRespawnTimer` -- 600-frame cooldown before ramp prize respawns with random type.
Files: global.h, board_process3_ruby.c, collision_checks.c, ruby_ramp_entities.c + PC port (26 total)
## Screen Shake
- `horizontalShakeOffset` -> `screenShakeX` -- X-axis camera shake (Whiscash + Rayquaza). Shorter, clearer.
- `bonusBoardYOffset` -> `screenShakeY` -- Y-axis camera shake (Rayquaza + Groudon, bonus stages only). Pairs with screenShakeX.
Files: global.h, board_process2.c, board_process3_rayquaza.c, board_process3_groudon.c, board_process7.c, ruby_board_entities.c + PC port (44 total)
## Gauntlet Flash (drop "Boss")
- `gauntletBossFlashTimer` -> `gauntletFlashTimer` -- not a boss fight, it's a projectile launcher board feature. "Boss" was misleading.
- `gauntletBossFlashActive` -> `gauntletFlashActive` -- same. The `gauntletProjectile*` fields were already correct and kept as-is.

## Egg Delivery System (was "TravelMode"/"EvolutionMode")
Two delivery paths exist after the hatch cave: Pelipper (rare, Totodile) and egg drop (common, Aerodactyl). The old names "Travel" and "Evolution" referred to the delivery mechanism, not the game modes of the same name. This was confusing.
Fields:
- `travelSpriteFrame` -> `pelipperDeliveryFrame`
- `pikaSaverAnimFrameTimer` -> `pelipperDeliveryTimer` -- "PikaSaver" was a leftover decompilation artifact
- `modeSpriteTimer` -> `eggDropTimer`
- `modeSpriteX` -> `eggDeliveryX`
- `modeSpriteY` -> `eggDeliveryY`
- `modeSpriteVelX` -> `eggDeliveryVelX`
- `modeSpriteVelY` -> `eggDeliveryVelY`
- `eggAnimTravelState` -> `eggDeliveryState` -- dropped misleading "Travel"
Functions:
- `InitTravelModeSprites` -> `InitPelipperEggDelivery`
- `AnimateTravelModeSprite` -> `AnimatePelipperEggDelivery`
- `InitEvolutionModeSprites` -> `InitEggDropDelivery`
- `AnimateEvolutionModeSprite` -> `AnimateEggDropDelivery`
Files: global.h, functions.h, catch_hatch_animations.c, ruby_catch_mode.c + PC port (132 total)
## Catch Hole Animation (was "sharpedo")
- `sharpedoOamIndex` -> `catchHoleAnimFrame` -- used by both Sharpedo (Ruby) and Wailmer (Sapphire). Named after the shared mechanic, matches adjacent `catchHolePauseTimer`.
- `sharpedoTileVariant` -> `catchHoleTileVariant` -- same, shared between both boards.

## Renames
### gravityFrozen -> ballGrabbed
This field is set to 1 when a legendary boss grabs the ball during its attack sequence, and cleared to 0 when the ball is released. The old name described what happens as a side effect (gravity stops updating), but the actual state being tracked is whether the boss is holding the ball. Used by Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza boss fights.
### bossColorState -> kecleonFramesetBase
Only used by the Kecleon bonus stage. It stores a base animation frameset index derived from Kecleon's movement direction angle (via `gKecleonVisibleWalkDirectionMap`), then various offsets are added to select specific walk/stand/fall frames. Nothing to do with color.
### bossSubEntityState -> dusclopsWalkFootIndex
Only used by the Dusclops bonus stage. Cycles through values 0-4 to track which foot Dusclops is leading with during its walk cycle. The parity (`& 1`) determines animation direction. Other bonus stages initialize it to 0 and never touch it again.
### kecleonHitState -> kecleonBoardHitState
Tracks collision with any of the 14 berry zones on the Kecleon board (4 large + 10 small, collision cases 8-12), not just Kecleon's body being hit directly. The broader name better reflects that this covers all scope/berry overlay collisions.
### catchSpinRadius -> trapSpinRadius
### captureAngleQ16 -> trapAngleQ16
These two fields control the ball's spiral orbit during trap captures (boss fights, center hole traps, Jirachi bonus). They are not used by the regular catch system (Sharpedo hole). The old names mixed "catch" and "capture" inconsistently and were ambiguous with the separate catch mode. "trap" distinguishes this mechanic clearly.
### travelPelipperPosX/PosY/VelX/VelY -> travelPainterPosX/PosY/VelX/VelY
### gRubyTravelPelipper_Gfx -> gRubyTravelVolbeat_Gfx
### gSapphireTravelPelipper_Gfx -> gSapphireTravelIllumise_Gfx
The travel cutscene entity is Volbeat (Ruby board) and Illumise (Sapphire board), not Pelipper. The actual Pelipper has its own separate fields (`pelipperState`, `pelipperPosX`, `pelipperPosY` at offsets 0x306-0x322) and its own graphics (`gPelipper_Gfx` from `pelipper.4bpp`). The travel sprites at ROM 0x08483D8C / 0x08488A0C are 44-53% different from real Pelipper pixel data, and the Ruby and Sapphire variants differ from each other by 22-37% per frame, consistent with two distinct but related Pokemon. The previous "travelPelipper" labels were a misidentification.
### rouletteSpeciesId -> rouletteAreaIndex
This array stores area-based portrait indices (0-12) used to look up graphics sets, not actual species IDs. The lookup table `gAreaToSpeciesTable` is essentially an identity mapping (area N maps to index N). The old name made it sound like the roulette was selecting a specific Pokemon species, when it is selecting an area index for portrait rendering.

## Changes Made
### Misidentified Pokemon Entities (6 functions + 2 fields)
Wrong Pokemon names from initial decompilation. Corrected based on in-game sprite identification.
| Old Name | New Name | File | Notes |
|----------|----------|------|-------|
| `InitPelipperEggDelivery` | `InitTotodileEggDelivery` | rom_27E08.c | Sprite group 82; Totodile carries egg when `rubyPondState == RUBY_POND_STATE_LOTAD` |
| `AnimatePelipperEggDelivery` | `AnimateTotodileEggDelivery` | rom_27E08.c | Same entity |
| `InitEggDropDelivery` | `InitAerodactylEggDelivery` | rom_27E08.c | Sprite group 12; Aerodactyl flies in with the egg |
| `AnimateEggDropDelivery` | `AnimateAerodactylEggDelivery` | rom_27E08.c | Same entity |
| `UpdateGauntletBossAnimation` | `UpdateChikoritaAttackAnimation` | rom_201B8.c | Sprite groups 13-14; Chikorita shoots leaf projectiles at bumpers |
| `AnimateGauntletBossSprite` | `AnimateChikoritaSprite` | rom_201B8.c | Sprite group 53, flash animation |
| `pelipperDeliveryFrame` | `totodileDeliveryFrame` | global.h (0x2C3) | Misattributed to Pelipper |
| `pelipperDeliveryTimer` | `totodileDeliveryTimer` | global.h (0x2C4) | Same |
### Chikorita Fields (7 fields, 0x2B0-0x2BC)
| Old | New |
|-----|-----|
| `gauntletFlashTimer` | `chikoritaFlashTimer` |
| `gauntletFlashActive` | `chikoritaFlashActive` |
| `gauntletProjectileX` | `chikoritaProjectileX` |
| `gauntletProjectileY` | `chikoritaProjectileY` |
| `gauntletProjectileVelX` | `chikoritaProjectileVelX` |
| `gauntletProjectileUnused` | `chikoritaProjectileUnused` |
| `gauntletProjectileTimer` | `chikoritaProjectileTimer` |
### Chikorita Data Labels (3)
| Old | New |
|-----|-----|
| `gGauntletExplosionTiles` | `gChikoritaExplosionTiles` |
| `gGauntletProjectileTiles` | `gChikoritaProjectileTiles` |
| `gGauntletBossFlashFrameIndices` | `gChikoritaFlashFrameIndices` |
### Spheal Stage Entity Disambiguation (3 functions + 1 struct + 1 data label)
The Spheal bonus stage has two Pokemon: Spheal (flying enemies) and Sealeo (ground minions that get knocked down). Functions were lumping both under "Spheal."
| Old Name | New Name | Notes |
|----------|----------|-------|
| `UpdateSphealMinionLogic` | `UpdateSealeoEntityLogic` | "Minions" use `minionState`/`minionFramesetIx` - these are Sealeo |
| `UpdateSphealFlyingEnemyLogic` | `UpdateSphealEntityLogic` | Flying enemies ARE Spheal; dropped redundant "FlyingEnemy" |
| `UpdateSphealKnockdownPhysics` | `UpdateSealeoKnockdownPhysics` | Knockdown targets are Sealeo (operates on `minionState[var0]`) |
| `struct FlyingEnemyPath` | `struct SphealFlightPath` | Flight path data for Spheal patterns |
| `gSphealFlyingEnemyPathData` | `gSphealFlightPathData` | Matching struct rename |
### Ruby Board Distinction (4 functions)
These are Ruby-only but lacked the "Ruby" prefix. Sapphire counterparts already had it.
| Old Name | New Name |
|----------|----------|
| `DispatchCatchModeInit` | `DispatchRubyCatchModeInit` |
| `UpdateCatchModeAnimation` | `UpdateRubyCatchModeAnimation` |
| `InitEvolutionShopMode` | `InitRubyEvolutionShopMode` |
| `AnimateEvolutionShopSequence` | `AnimateRubyEvolutionShopSequence` |
### Improved Descriptiveness (3 functions + 2 data labels + 1 field)
| Old Name | New Name | Notes |
|----------|----------|-------|
| `ProcessMainBoardBallDrain` | `ProcessMainBoardBallDrainAndLaunch` | Also handles plunger charging/launch (lines 421-438) |
| `HideCaughtPokemonSprite` | `CleanupCaughtPokemonSprite` | Sets OAM off-screen AND sets `available=0` |
| `HideJirachiSprites` | `CleanupJirachiSprites` | Hides sprite group 33 AND deactivates 4 star tag groups (45-48) |
| `gMonIconTilesGfx` | `gPikaSaverTilesGfx` | Pikachu saver icon tiles, indexed via `gPikaSaverAnimFrameTable` |
| `monIconTileIndex` | `pikaSaverTileIndex` | Indexes into `gPikaSaverTilesGfx` |
| `field` (0x10FD) | `savedField` | Adjacent fields are `savedTempField`, `savedIsBonusField`, etc. |
### Comments Added (4)
| Location | Comment |
|----------|---------|
| `progressLevel` (0x70E) | Becomes bonusMultiplier at end-of-ball; displayed on the blue bonus sign |
| `ballLaunchTimer` (0x1328) | Countdown to activate secondaryBall (multiball) |
| Fields 0x1106-0x110E | Values applied by the pause process (set when pausing) |
| Fields 0x1110-0x1118 | Values preserved from before pause (restored when unpausing) |
