Who was the first person to discover The Hooked Metapod? How did he/she/they discover it?

One byte in the RAM determines the battle type. One of the battle types is used only for fishing battles, and displays "The hooked x attacked!" This can, through glitches or Gameshark codes, display the message against a wild Metapod.

Actually I think ACE91 first discovered it. There's a post by ACE91 that describes the hooked metapod here.
