-----------------------------------------
STUFF TO KNOW
- Running near spinners and rotators causes them to face certain directions. If you try to run past a spinner or rotator, s/he will always catch you.
- Opening the bag or Pokemon menu freezes spinners for 32 frames, assuming you do not run near them.
- The cursors for the main menu and inventory never never reset unless you save+quit (so no point in swapping items to the top of your inventory).
- You cannot buffer inputs in Gen 3, so it is generally best to menu immediately after an event, rather than in the middle of movement.
- When Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert's HP is at 1/3 or less, its Torrent ability will trigger, which boosts the power of Water-type moves by 50%.
