#### Is there a way to use Arbitrary code execution to change my name in Pokemon Red?

I am not very familiar with Arbitrary code execution but I have tried to google search a result to allow me to change my trainer name via this method and I have yet to find anything that answers my question. I am wondering if there is any possible way to change my name via this method of anyone knows how to do it.

This one's pretty straightforward. Simply write bytes starting at D158. However, make sure there is a $50 byte at or before D162. If there is not, it will delete your save file.

There's one cool way Haxel wrote for PRAMA; just name a Pokémon with the name you want for the Player, and execute a code to replace the Player's name with that Pokémon's name.
Unfortunately it's for french games, so if you want, I can translate it asap

You can also load the name your player menu directly. :) (note: may have to be modified for non-English versions)

ld b,01
ld hl,695d

ret
Have these at item 3;
Awakening x 1
Carbos x105
X Accuracy x93
X Attack x 64

Wow, that's a killer move. It's probably the best way, yes :)
Anyway, a translation of the code I was mentioning is:
Any
Any
TM50 x181
TM10 x64
TM34 x88
TM09 x46
Calcium x52
X Accuracy x35
Full Heal x201
I did not test it, but it should work. You need to activate once per letter (it will change a bit every time) and one last time for the terminator.

Thanks! ~
Also, nice! ^^
By the way, if you or anyone else ever wants to call another specific function, or a specific language port to a code and get stuck somewhere, let me know and I can help.
