Solid understanding to the default RMMV battle flow implementations

じ☆ve冰风

This topic aims to share my understandings to the default RMMV battle flow implementations, and I'll share more advanced stuffs in details here. So you're assumed to have at least:
- Some battle related javascript coding proficiency(inexperienced junior plugin developer having written at least several easy, simple and small battle related plugins without nontrivial bugs)
- Basic knowledge to the default RMMV battle flow implementations

Before actually covering any of the above contents, I want to explain why this topic's structured this way:
1. An effective and efficient way to quickly grasp the big picture of the default RMMV battle flow implementations is to simulate a turn covering all important details.
2. The battle flow's run by the Battle Frame Update per frame, so it's natural to explore that part first.
3. The battle always have a starting phase, which can have a slight impact on the battle flow before it actually runs, so it needs to be explored too.
4. The battle almost always starts in the Action Input Phase and ends in the Action Execution Phase, both of which are the most important parts of the battle, so the former will be explored before the latter.
5. The battle always have an ending phase as long as it ends normally, so it's better to explore it as well.
I'll start to talk about the contents in the upcoming replies in this topic. For now, let's cite the simplified battle flowchart as both a preparation on what I'm going to cover and a revision on what you're assumed to know already:
