# Each Pokemon gets its OWN game window, launched only after the previous one
# has been closed -- the loop blocks on the process, so closing the window is
# what advances it. Nothing is on a timer, so a take can be as long as it
# needs to be, and a bad one can just be closed and re-run.
#
# The battles run at true 1x: tests/shiny_one.lua paces itself against the
# wall clock, because a POKEPORT_DRIVER run is otherwise unpaced and goes as
# fast as the machine can manage.

# direction. A species or map this dataset does not have is skipped with a
# line rather than failing the run.

# The rung column picks STADIUM A (the fight staged on the map itself) or
# STADIUM B (the two carried discs). Over open water there is no clear GROUND
# to stage on, which is exactly the case B exists for -- see shiny_one.lua.
