Brief diversion in here to also touch up some functions for encoding/decoding data streams using the built-in RNG functions.

What's the difference between a RECORD_XXX and a SCORE_RECORD_XXX?

Records are just counters for certain events in-game.

Score records are events which increase the trainer card score. Maybe they would better named as SCORE_EVENT, then?

Are these the same records as in those for record mixing?

TRAINER_SCORE_EVENT?

Maybe! These are counters stored in the save block for things like your step counter, your trainer score, the number of times you've used certain moves or fainted an enemy Pokemon, etc. I'm not sure if record-mixing factors into that; we'll surely uncover that as we document more of these entries.

TRAINER_SCORE_EVENT?
