To find the leftover bytes:
First make a save file with all bytes in the RAM set to arbitrary values. Make sure the player name is valid.
Reset and start a new game. Make a save state after the introduction. (Save state 1)

Reset and delete the save file. Start a new game and make a save state after the introduction. (Save state 2)

Compare save states 1 and 2 to see which bytes are leftover from the previous save file.

I wonder what kind of other things remain in the memory after a new game?

As do I, as do I.

Well, for one thing, the old save file doesn't appear to be completely overwritten when a new game is started.  In my attempts to get the save glitch to work on Red, I've found that I can start a new game, save, reset the Game Boy, select "New Game" with a save file already present, reset again, and find myself where I saved on the first save file.

And then there's my copy of Yellow, in which one save file "leaked into" another one, resulting in my having two Pikachus.  I have no idea what happened there, but it was also a result of save glitching.

Yes, as part of an unsuccessful attempt at a save glitch.
