  ? ITEM DESCRIPTION CRASHES THE GAME, YOU AVOID THIS BY SWAPPING ITEMS

swap poke ball x7 with bicycle
toss poke ball x10 to get poke ball x245
scroll 1 down, use hm03 three times (gives you bad clones)
toss poke ball x202 to get poke ball x43
use max repel
select max repel
scroll up to third ? item from the master ball and press select
visual guide:
  ? x0 <- press select here
  ? x0
  ? x1
  master ball x6

press select on max repel
scroll down to master ball x6
cancel select
press select on master ball
scroll to ? below max repel
press select to swap master ball
do the same thing you did with master ball for teru-sama
  goal is to get 4 non-? items in those specific slots
  last item will be tm01 generated later

press select on teru-sama
scroll down to master ball x7
cancel select
press select on master ball x7
press down 6 (overshooting is fine as long as you swap below the cancels)
press select to swap
press select again
scroll up to poke ball x255

go to move mon w/o mail
move kingdra in box 2 to slot 1 of party
move bad clone to slot 1 of party
exit bill's pc
go to party menu

do the following swaps:
2 (kingdra L5) <> 7 (hex00)
5 (V,) <> 1 (bad clone)
1 (V,) <> 7 (kingdra L5)
take off HM02 from V, (now ?)
7 (chikorita) <> 1 (kingdra L5)
3 (?????? chikorita) <> 6 (hex00 L120)
7 (kingdra, might have cut) <> 3 (hex00 L120)
5 (bad clone) <> 2 (hex00 L120)
2 (bad clone) <> 8 (dragonite)
6 (?????? chikorita) <> 1 (chikorita)
1 (?????? chikorita) <> 8 (hexFF)

final party should be:
- hexFF fainted
- dragonite fainted
- kingdra L76 (anything >L51 is fine)
- kingdra L1
- hex00 L120
- chikorita L1
- hex00
- hex00

  three dragon sprites are necessary because of hex00's type
  reads from 0:8091, which is party mon sprites in the current context
  the dragon sprite is the only sprite with no characters that can crash (<MOBILE>, <TARGET>, <USER>, <ENEMY>), no click control characters (<CONT>, <PARA>, <_CONT>, <PROMPT>) and four terminator characters (specifically <DEXEND>)
  empirical unscientific testing suggests 3 dragon sprites will almost never crash (has never crashed once in testing)
  2 dragon sprites is possible but crashes can occur
  1 dragon sprite will almost certainly crash

  1st two pokemon have to be fainted
  later, oob move swaps are used to set party count to 2
  this is much easier than needing to faint all 8 pokemon (and almost definitely faster)
  3rd pokemon must be a dragon sprite and must be L52 or greater
  with morning time, highest level mon is L51 golbat in the last silver cave room
  dragonite is used because it's the only mon with id corresponding to a nicknameable character
  and can learn fly, which means it can be put in slot 2 (which is also good to reduce hex00's type lag)
  also means no longer need to exclusively catch pidgey, can catch rattata or hoppip

exit pokemon center

use bike, enter guide gent's house (the one with a sign)
  sets wDigWarpNumber to 04, adjacent to wVisitedSpawns, we swap this into byte that contains mt. silver fly flag

bike to route 29
go immediately down to bottom left corner of route 29 in grass
  sets wYCoord to 15/$0f
  we swap this into wMapGroup
  goal is to set map to $0f 14
  this is equivalent to hall of fame room due to out of bounds array access
    see: data/maps/maps.asm#L341

open party menu
open move menu of slot 8
mash right, scroll through pokemon moves
  move hexFF (bunch of junk tiles as move name) need click to pass through
  if you crash that means you got insanely unlucky with vram timing (RNG)

pay attention to mon with:
- cut PP 0/30
- pound PP 0/30

keep going, look for mon with:
- spikes PP 0/20
- leer PP 0/30
- pound PP 0/35
- pay day PP 0/20

  these moves might be slightly different depending on how you shuffled around items in key items pocket

scroll left 3 pokemon
swap move 2 with 4 (gives you fly badge)

go back right, look for mon with:
- doubleslap PP 0/10
- doubleslap PP 8/10
- doubleslap PP 63/16
- mega punch PP 21/28

  the moves may be slightly different, important thing is the PP 0 followed by PP 8

scroll left 1
swap move 3 with move 4 (sets mt. silver fly flag)

scroll right 11 pokemon (10 from doubleslap mon)
  there will be hexFF moves here, press A/B to advance

swap move 2 with move 4 (sets map group to 15)
  if you aren't able to scroll to move 4, switch back and forth between previous mon until 4 moves show up
  if moves change to -- after swap, that means swap might not have happened? how to determine this conclusively?

exit move and party menu
if you did this right fast ship should show up and player sprite should disappear

go up 4, right 4
  wYCoord was set to 24/$18 in first map swap
  up 4 sets wYCoord to 20/$14, the map number we want
  right 4 sets the last byte of wScreenSave to 02
  which is adjacent to party count
  so we can swap that into party count
  to efficiently clear out party, no need to set all party member hp to 0 and deal with 9th pokemon being alive with high level for repel

open party menu
go to slot 8, open move menu AGAIN

scroll until mon with following moves:
- dragon rage PP 2/10
- razor leaf PP 8/25
- thunder PP 63/16
- mimic PP 21/28

  moves might be different (maybe?), important part is PP 2 and PP 8

swap move 1 with move 2 (sets party count to 2)
scroll right 10 pokemon
  there will be hexFF moves here, press A/B to advance

swap move 3 with move 4 (sets map number to 20)
  if you aren't able to scroll to move 4, switch back and forth between previous mon until 4 moves show up

if done correctly you should have 2 party pokemon left
exit party menu
go to item menu
move to tm/hm pocket (right 1)
teach fly to dragonite (slot 2)

save and quit

if done correctly you should now be in the HoF room, lance should be talking to you
  this is the fastest way to set red's flag. all attempts at memory corruption for it failed

soft reset the moment saving textbox disappears (you can soft reset before it actually saves)

fly to mt. silver (down 1 in fly menu)
get owned by prof. elm (pokegear call)
bike to red
