[RB Alt Starter] Gyarados (Route)

Pokémon Blue - Custom Starter ROM - Gyarados route - Pokédoll/NoIT
-----

NOTES
- - name shortening :
-     DR = Dragon Rage | HP = Hydro Pump  | BB = Bubblebeam
-     BS = Body Slam   | TB = Thunderbolt | IB = Ice Beam
- - bullet point icons :
      - : regular action / additional information
      # : battle
	  } : battle info
      @ : menuing
      $ : mart/
- - in marts :
      $ : buying
      \ : selling
- - 76.9% OHKO (30/39) better than 80% Hydro Pump accuracy
-     because Gyara crit ratio is 40/256 (~15.8%) => 80.5% kill
- - healing thresholds are built as follows :
-     min health assumes a 10% death risk at max.
-     max health assumes max redbar HP at the end of the battle + average damage taken
-     more details here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B57atPxPKLcPsmGrIXQzEjnrcNQt95S0bF7NwxHWsho/edit?usp=sharing
- - during menus, you might see the notation "X Start" with X being a number, sometimes followed by "1/2"
-     these are input aids and work as follows :
-     1 Start = press down and hold, press right and hold, press Start (this scrolls a total of 3 slots)
-     X Start = (X bigger or equal to 2)
-               perform "1 Start"
-               release all but down, press left and hold, press Start
-                 you just performed "2 Start" (this scrolls a total of 5 slots)
-               release all but down, press right and hold, press Start
-                 you just performed "3 Start" (this scrolls a total of 7 slots)
-               etc.
-     "1/2"   = you don't press Start after the last directional input
-     this technique might be surprising, but allows the runner to get rid of most of yoloscrolls when using keyboard
- - beware of "pure" status-healing items during battles
-     ("pure" = healing only status, example : Antidote)
-     they reset all stat modifiers & all badge boosts
-     so you'll hit less than expected
