How to fix HG/SS

******************************************************************************************************************************
*********************************************************FIXING HG/SS*********************************************************
******************************************************************************************************************************

***********************************************************THE GOAL***********************************************************
Without changing what the games were at base, streamlining the games and bringing them in line with being Johto not Kanto v. 1.2.1 and truly opening them to the freedom that was possibly without leaving the games ridiculously easy compared to what they were.

Beginning of the games are fine so this will pick up starting at Violet City.

******************************************************************************************************************************

>This is currently a WIP.
>All HMs are usable freely once obtained.
>Side and story areas will still have requirements but in between the cities etc. there will be no blocking at all. Changes to suit this will appear in between Gym Leader notes.
>I will also add optional tutorial bits or changes to side things I feel would be nice to have for new folk as/if I think of them.
>All of the Gen 4 evolutions to Gen 1 and 2 Pokémon are included, as they should've been.
>A Super Contest hall now appears in Cerulean. Misty, the PC friend (Ethan/Lyra), Daisy Oak, and Esuine (after the Suicune arc and only if using a Suicune) take the special guest slots.

Sudowoodo is still to the west, but there's a two lane pathway in either direction at that junction, so you can ignore it if you wish, no badge needed to progress.

Miracle Seed Guy wishes to see a Grass-Type Pokémon, noting that it's one of several types which will do well in the upcoming cave.

Slowpoketail guy, after you decline the offer, will want to see a Water-Type for Mystic Water and that it'll do well in the cave too. Afterwards also saying he's heard of a tree to the north that reportedly doesn't like Water.

Ilex Forest plays out as per usual, regardless of whether you've got the badge or dealt with the Well event or not. However, the layout of the forest now allows different though similarly styled puzzles on either side of the cut bush, to obtain Cut no matter which direction you come from.

You can do both though and the second of which is what rewards you with the Charcoal item here and lets one know it's good for Fire-Types which the forest's Bug and Grass-Types are weak to.

The Berry Pots are now obtained by simply talking to the head of the shop and the Squirt Bottle is obtained by having 50 of any kind of Berry. She will then expound on how useful they are and also remark on the strange tree to the north.

(I guess we'll just have to say Jasmine helped Bugsy evolve his Scyther, so she got his Pineco and evolved it, narrowly missing becoming Morty 2.0 as a result, lol.)
