Compatible with 0.29.0 — the room protocol is unchanged, so you can update
without everyone else having to.

A TM says what it teaches

TM01 through TM50 and HM01 through HM05 are a lookup table you are expected
to have memorised or to own a guide for. In a twenty-minute match nobody is
looking anything up: a TM on the ground is loot you either grab or walk
past, and "TM19" tells you nothing about whether it is worth the detour.

So for the length of a match, every machine is named after the move it
teaches. TM19 reads SEISMIC TOSS. HM01 reads CUT.

It is the item's name that changes, not the bag screen, so it reads that way
everywhere the name appears — your PACK, a loot ball on the ground, a
fallen trainer's bag, the shop, and the MOVES row on the party screen.

Just the move, with no number in front. The number is the part you cannot
read anything off, and dropping it buys back five characters in a box that
also has to fit the quantity.

The item table is shared with your real save, so the numbers come back the
moment the match ends — nothing follows you out into an ordinary game.
