+// In the Generation 3 games, Asserts were used in various debug builds.
+// Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald do not have these asserts while Fire Red
+// still has them in the ROM. This is because the developers forgot
+// to define NOAGBPRN before release, which is actually supposed to be
+// NDEBUG, however this has been changed as Ruby's actual debug build
+// does not use the AGBPrint features.
+
+// To note, Ruby/Sapphire likely did not use AGBPrint. This is because
+// the german debug ROM of Ruby did not have any uses of AGBPrint and
+// the assert commands but instead a "crash" screen. This config exists
+// for convenience for the user of pokeruby and NOT because it is
+// authoritative. These additions are for user convenience based on
+// officially recommended SDK practices for debugging and is therefore
+// still in part authoritative.
