; VBlank is the interrupt responsible for updating VRAM.
; In Pokemon Crystal, VBlank has been hijacked to act as the
; main loop. After time-sensitive graphics operations have been
; performed, joypad input and sound functions are executed.
; This prevents the display and audio output from lagging.
