[[Category:Arbitrary code execution]]
Text boxes in the game begin with a special command, detailed as such:
 
*'''00''': Normal text. Text characters (found on [[The Big HEX List]]) follow. If an 0x00 byte appears in this region, an [[error code]] will appear and text following it will not be printed. Some characters are control characters which will automatically print a string, line break, new page, etc.
*'''08''': Runs code following the 08 byte (can be used for arbitrary code execution)
*'''F5''': Loads a vending machine
*'''F6''': Loads Cable Club reception lady text
*'''F7''': Game Corner Pokémon prize menu. The prizes are determined by the text box's index number, stored at FF8C. Some glitch Game Corner prizes also cause buffer overflows. See [[PrizeDex]] for more information.
*'''F9''': Normal PC
*'''FC''': PC for items only
*'''FD''': PC for Pokémon storage only (unused, featuring "Switch on!" text)
*'''FE''': Loads a Poké Mart
*'''FF''': Loads a Pokémon Center
