+    ## Overview ##
-static bool8 sub_8122A58(struct EasyChatPair *a, struct EasyChatPair *b, u8 c);
+    This file handles the "Dewford Trend", a pair of Easy Chat words
-static void sub_8122B28(struct EasyChatPair *s);
+    repeated by NPCs around Dewford Hall.
-static bool8 SB1ContainsWords(u16 *a);
+
-static bool8 IsEasyChatPairEqual(u16 *words1, u16 *words2);
+    The NPC outside Dewford Hall will ask what the player thinks of the
-static s16 GetEqualEasyChatPairIndex(struct EasyChatPair *s, struct EasyChatPair *a, u16 b);
+    current trendy phrase, and the player may submit a new pair of words.
+    If the NPC thinks the submitted phrase is "trendier" than the
+    current one (see TrySetTrendyPhrase), it becomes the new phrase.
+
+    ## struct DewfordTrend ##
+    Information about a Dewford trend is stored in a struct DewfordTrend.
+    In addition to the two easy chat words that make up the trend's phrase,
+    each trend has a few randomly generated values associated with it.
+    - rand: 
+        This is a 16 bit value generated once when the phrase is created.
+        It's used in calculations for Feebas tiles, Slot Machines, and Match Call.
+        It's also used to determine how much "trendiness" is lost over time (see below).
+    - trendiness / maxTrendiness: 
+        Initialized as a random value between 30-127 inclusive. This is used to
+        compare how trendy one phrase is vs another. If a submitted phrase is
+        less trendy than the current one it won't be accepted. If the trend is
+        "boring" (see below) it will lose trendiness over time until it reaches 0, 
+        at which point it will stop being boring and gain trendiness until it
+        reaches maxTrendiness (then it becomes boring again and the cycle repeats).
+    - gainingTrendiness: 
+        This is a flag that determines whether a phrase should be gaining or losing
+        trendiness. An NPC in Dewford Hall will comment on whether the current phrase
+        is "boring" or not, and if it is gaining trendiness (or if it is still trendier
+        than the last phrase) it is not boring. This field will always be TRUE for any 
+        new phrase submitted after the 1st submission.
+
+    ## Saving trends ##
+    Each time a new trendy phrase is accepted, the previous Dewford Trend is saved
+    in gSaveBlock1Ptr->dewfordTrends[]. Up to SAVED_TRENDS_COUNT (5) trends may be
+    saved at one time. The trends in this array are kept in sorted order from most trendy
+    to least trendy. The current trendy phrase is always at gSaveBlock1Ptr->dewfordTrends[0].
+    If the player mixes records with another player, their own trends are replaced with
+    their mixing partner's, unless the phrase is the same, in which case the version with
+    a higher trendiness value is used (see ReceiveDewfordTrendData).
