Custom text in a custom map from TheZZAZZGlitch's creepypasta save file

Using text pointers sourced in RAM, the player can use arbitrary code execution to write and show custom text boxes.

In Generation I

There are many means of displaying custom text boxes in the game, including:

• Text pointer manipulation
• Glitch sign manipulation (the basis of Pikachu off-screen glitch arbitrary code execution)
• Text box ID matching (e.g. Sea Route 21 0x44 text box glitch (English Yellow))
• Custom Pokédex entries

Specific details on how to bring up the text box pointer are detailed in the articles above.
