Hack description

In this hack every Pokemon is randomized at the start of battle, your own mons, the wild mons, the enemy's mons, this is not just changing the seed, it will be a different random battle every time you try to battle a specific enemy, the wild Pokemon are completely random everywhere to (and your own mons will be random too, every time).

The moves will be set to what the specific Pokemon species would naturally have at their level.

This idea was made possible by hack that randomized your own mons at the start of every battle (https://github.com/googleben/EmeraldPartyRandomizer), the code was reused to make the enemy's mons and wild mons random too.

Not fully tested.

Update v1.1: now all Pokemon can use every HM (thanks for carokahn9's review for pointing it out).

Very cool concept, one major flaw.	carokahn9	2023-11-25	Version 1.0
This is a very simple and straight forward hack which is unfortunately impossible to complete, or very inconvenient to complete if anything, because you need HMs to progress. If your 'mons are random every time then that is a major issue.
