This ROM hack removes every reported glitch from Pokemon [Gold / Silver](https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/master/docs/bugs_and_glitches.md) and [Crystal](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/docs/bugs_and_glitches.md).
Specifically, this hack fixes:

- Present’s text overflows when it fails to heal an enemy Pokémon with a long name
- You can fish in the water in Cerulean Gym
- “Route 15″ is not capitalized in a signpost

- Beat Up may fail to raise Substitute
- Beat Up may trigger King’s Rock even if it failed
- Present damage is incorrect in link battles
- Return and Frustration deal no damage when the user’s happiness is low or high, respectively
- Dragon Scale, not Dragon Fang, boosts Dragon-type moves
- Switching out or switching against a Pokémon with max HP below 4 freezes the game
- Moves that do damage and increase your stats do not increase stats after a KO
- HP bar animation is slow for high HP
- HP bar animation off-by-one error for low HP

- AI use of Full Heal does not cure confusion status
- Wild Pokémon can always Teleport regardless of level difference
