Zero damage text

In RBY, there are extremely minor situations where zero damage can be dealt. These usually involve quad resists and profound level differences.

To quote the disassembly:
; this only occurs if a move that would do 2 or 3 damage is 0.25x effective against the target
However, Psywave is also capable of this.

Thus, a new case has been added for when this occurs, which is triggered through a new WRAM entry. Easiest way to do it without having to restructure how misses are handled.

This is overall minor, but it'll probably make at least one person laugh, and that's all I need.

 - The blinking animation when hit by moves like Tackle now repeats 4 instead of 6 times, speeding up battles by a bit while not sacrificing impact.
 - The Rock in the Safari Zone now only raises the flee chance by 1.5x, rather than 2x, opening up new strategies.
 - PP symbol is displayed in the battle menu. PP displayed before, it just looks nicer now. Done by changing a straggler Japanese character.
+- When dealing 0 damage, there'll now be a special text box, making it less misleading.
 - Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha now play the Gym Leader Battle theme.
 - Trainer DVs are perfect-15s.
 - The protagonist is referred to in a gender neutral manner.
