If anyone could help me with that, it would seriously mean a lot.
Thanks, and everyone have a great week,
Terra.

If it's the latter, does that mean that the save file stores the team of the last person you battled with a link cable, and if so, how exactly would you access that data?
Hiya.
I'm sorry for the late reply. I didn't have access to my laptop for a few days. You weren't being annoying at all.
I regret to say that I've actually never experienced this, so I may be of little help.

Data like that is stored and is kept after you battle a link Trainer, but reset once you reset the game. However, I've only confirmed that in Crystal. You can view it with a memory viewer if you're using TGB Dual (and probably BGB) to link.
These may be the relevant memory addresses (stored in little endianness rather than big endian, which TGB Dual/BGB/VBA's memory viewer uses, so you'd have to swap the last two digit pairs, e.g. 56DD ->DD56).
Link Trainer data is stored in memory where enemy Pokémon data is (I found this when verifying TM33 arbitrary code execution, which executes code from the third character of the fifth enemy Pokémon's nickname). I don't know if it's stored in all of those normal enemy Pokémon addresses, though.
I don't know how to access the link battle data as in fight it.
That Bulbapedia page has generalizations and speculation that may not be true. The bulk of that page was from Glitchchampion (Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/GlitchchampionPKMN), then I edited it and added some stuff.
You may want to ask him/her if he remembers what trick/glitch Unown is/are responsible for the link battle thing. They uploaded a video a little over two months ago.
It sounds familiar to FF mail type corruption in Pokémon Crystal, but most like Generation I's Cable Club escape glitch.
