Bits 0-3 correspond to text speed, with their value amounting to the amount of frames between each character printed to the screen; 5 corresponds to the "Slow" option, 3 to the "Medium" option, and 1 to the "Fast" option. Bit 6 corresponds to the Battle Style: it is 0 when the style is set to Shift, and 1 when set to Set.

Binary-coded decimal (BCD)

Binary-coded decimal is a system for encoding numbers in which hexadecimal values are read as their visual counterpart in decimal. For instance, $64 in BCD would be interpreted as 64, not 100. It is used most notably for storing the player's money. This means that a value such as $000200 (item 21 has quantity 0, item 22 is an Ultra Ball with quantity 0) will give the player 200 money.
