So the normal name can only be 6 characters long and have very basic characters (we can't use a lot of them) because of this the Old Man glitch (and possibly any other name related glitches) don't let you get some Pokemon or Pokemon at specific levels. My questions are: 1 using the 8F codes like the one TheZZAZZGlitch made (here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw0h7ImFsAs#t=918sto change your name using the nickname of the first Pokemon could you make your name more than 6 characters long(and still save). 2 Could you put in an invalid character say the Pokedollar symbol. 3: What happens if you put in a control character (see here http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Save_data_structure_in_Generation_I#Control_characters) if you used this theoretical 8F code (not tested yet but should workhttp://prntscr.com/aea9km) or had a pokemon with a control character in its name and used the code TheZZAZZGlitch made. Also more importantly is can you save after this and not have your data deleted? This would best be tested on an emulator for safety reasons (save states). However I don't have an emulator and am running on 3DS VC and don't want to risk my save file.

Side note how do I actually hyperlink text? Whenever I click add hyperlink I have to paste the URL between a and but I still see the URL and don't make specific text hyperlinked like in other posts I have seen here

[li]Do EXACTLY what is written there. Any action taken inbetween these steps may fail the whole process.[/li]
[li]When "SAVEPOINT" is written right before a step, I recommend saving right before doing the step. However, NEVER EVER save outside of "SAVEPOINTS", as again that can fail the process.[/li]
[li]Note that Trainers encountered when your START menu is inactive MUST do at least one step towards you. The game will freeze otherwise.[/li]
[li]If a problem occured but you didn't apply the previous warnings, you are responsible for what you have done. If you did exactly what is written there, and encountered a problem, well, I'm sorry.[/li]
[li]Also, this method removes the Snorlax on Route 12, so beware.[/li]

[li]Play the game until you arrive at Celadon City, and make sure not to fight any of the following Trainers. I recommend having a level 100 Pokémon to REKT them (connaisseurs will probably already have a Nidoking in their party *wink* *wink*).[/li]
[li]Get a Pokémon that knows Fly, Teleport or Dig. I prefer having Fly (hint : Route 1 Pidgeys are good)[/li]
[li]Make sure your party is NOT full. This is VITAL ![/li]
[li]SAVEPOINT ! Go back to Lavender Town, set up a Ditto Trick using the well-known Gambler, and go to Lavender Town[/li]
[li]Go south, and fight the third Fisherman (he has a single Pokémon). Growl at said Pokémon EXACTLY 6 times prior to killing him. Die, potato ![/li]
[li]Go back to Lavender, and if you haven't already, prepare some good Balls (and a lot of them, if you can). Buy an Escape Rope, it will be required later, unless you already have an Onix.[/li]
[li]Flash (open then close) your START menu, and exit Lavender west.[/li]
[li]Close the menu and catch the level 1 Pidgey. If he is not level 1 or if he is sent to the PC, reset. You did something wrong.[/li]
[li]You may be tempted to save now, but really don't. Instead, make Pidgey gain less than 63 EXP (Route 1 is perfect for this)[/li]
[li]He should level up directly to the 100th level ; however, do NOT allow him to evolve ! When the evolution animation begins, hold the B button to cancel it. Trust me, it's very important.[/li]
[li]Go to Celadon City, and give Pidgey enough HP Ups for him to have more than 233 max HP. If Pidgey has less than 233 HP when the HP Ups stop working, reset.[/li]
[li]SAVEPOINT ! Heal Pidgey. If he has exactly 233 HP, skip this step. Othewise, make him fight Viridian Forest's Weedles until he has exactly 233 HP.[/li]
[li]If you already have a Paras, level it up until it evolves and skip to step 17 ; if you have a Parasect, you can also skip.[/li]
[li]SAVEPOINT ! Go to Lavender Town, go south and set up a Ditto Trick using the second Fisherman (he is looking up). Go to Lavender Town.[/li]
[li]Fight the Nerd just north of Lavender Town. From now on, Growling is not required when doing Ditto Tricks.[/li]
[li]Flash (open then close) you START menu, then exit Lavender Town south. Close your menu, and catch Parasect.[/li]
[li]If you already have an Onix, skip to step 22.[/li]
[li]SAVEPOINT ! Set up a Ditto Trick using any Trainer (the previous two work right), and go to Lavender.[/li]
[li]Enter the Rock Tunnel. Go up until you bump into a wall ; go one step south, then go east until you bump again, then south until you bump, then east, then north. Walk two steps left, then one up, and a girl will challenge you.[/li]
[li]Use an Eascape Rope right after winning the fight. Encountering a Pokémon would ruin the glitch ! (Note : Repels also work)[/li]
[li]Back to Lavender, flash your START menu, enter the Route in which you initiatied the glitch, then close the menu and catch the Onix.[/li]
[li]If you already have a Tentacool, skip to step 25.[/li]
[li]SAVEPOINT ! Set up a Ditto trick like step 18.[/li]
[li]The trainer you should fight is the Nerd right north of Lavender Town. Then repeat step 21.[/li]
[li]If you already have an Abo, level it up until it evolves and skip to step 27 ; if you already have an Arbok, you also can skip.[/li]
[li]SAVEPOINT ! Repeat steps 14-16, this time encountering the Trainer on your left when you exit Route 13 (he is looking downwards and has 2 Pokémon) then going back to the Route where you initiated the glitch. Note that even though you have no Pokéflute, the Snorlax on Route 12 will be gone, so you can access Route 13 ;)[/li]
[li]SAVEPOINT ! Now that you have all the required Pokémon, deposit and withdraw Pokémon so you only have one Pokémon, which will be the first Pokémon of your party.[/li]
[li]Withdraw in this order the Pidgey, the Parasect, the Onix, the Tentacool then the Arbok. It is OK to save and switch boxes when doing this.[/li]
[li]When your party looks like this :


[li]Any Pokémon[/li]
[li]Pidgey with 233 HP[/li]
[li]Parasect[/li]
[li]Onix[/li]
[li]Tentacool[/li]
[li]Arbok[/li]


then you have a completed setup for 8F !
[/li]
[li]Now go get your 8F and set up your bag, and there you have it ! Happy ACE'ing ! (And you can save now.)[/li]
