Fun Pokemon Blue fact: Nothing has a name longer than 11 characters total. Their text encoding has special control characters for the string "TRAINER" and "ROCKET" to make them fit. This is why "BUG CATCHER" has no name.

I haven't found the code responsible for that rendering yet. I could see it going either way, assuming there's always a terminator or relying on the fixed width. Either way now I'm curious if pokemon names were shortened to fit in this length
