More information regarding the Gen 1 Catch Rate bug

Hi, I've found a bit more information regarding the catch rate problem I was having before. Catch Rates sometimes reset to 0 if you click the "Clear" button next to the Catch Rate box prior. It's rather sporadic, but here's the steps I took to reproduce the bug:

  1. Make sure "GB: Allow Generation 2 tradeback learnsets" is set to "Yes" as of latest release, or ticked in settings as of latest commit.
  2. Open the attached file in a Yellow PKHeX save file.
  3. Type in "Caterpie" into the Species box.
  4. Click "Clear" next to the Catch Rate box. It should become 0.
  5. Try clicking "Reset" next to the Catch Rate box. It remains on 0. If you manually insert a number except 255, it resets to 0. It should reset to 255.

If the "allow tradebacks" is set to yes, then the pkm is allowed to be traded to GSC where the held item can be removed, or it can match a GSC encounter instead. Either of those cases will result in a RBY-format catchrate byte being 0, which is perfectly legal.

Working as intended 🙂

The reset functionality just applies a legal value; double check the verbose legality report to see what encounter it matched to.
