When using the Coin Case while a Bellsprout/Machop's cry and specific newly loaded tiles are buffered in memory, the game will execute code in various places before finally ending up in the $FA98-$FA9B range, which is echo ram containing the stat exp data of party pokémon #3. |

Using specific movement patterns in the Goldenrod Radio Tower, we can form a jump to $EEEE, which is echo ram for the second character of the last read mail. This gives us enough space to call the start of box names, then fix the side effects of using the Coin Case and return to normal game operation. |

==Step 1: Obtaining everything needed for the setup== |
||
# Catch any pokémon and nickname it "MAILWRITER". |
|||
# Either in the Union Cave or on route 33, catch a pokémon that is (preferably) at least lvl 6 and not a Hoppip. Give it a specific nickname, such as "BOXCODES" to remember that it will be used as part of a Coin Case ACE setup that executes box name codes. |

# Have it fight the following pokémon and defeat them solo (order doesn't matter, the pokémon '''must''' be the only pokémon to gain experience from the battle) |
|||
# After obtaining the Coin Case, go to the Game Corner. |
|||
#* Rattata - Union Cave, Route 33, higher spawn rate in Union Cave compared to route 33 |
|||
#* If you do not have any coins yet, simply buy 100 coins. |
|||
#* Hoppip - Route 33 |
|||
#* If you already have coins stored in the coin case, make sure that the first digit of the total number of held coins equals "1"/ |
|||
#* Hoppip - Route 33 |
|||
# In the Goldenrod Dept. Store, buy a Flower Mail. |
|||
# Have it fight the following pokémon with the help of exactly one other pokémon ('''the experience must be shared between exactly two party pokémon''') |
|||
#* Onix - Union Cave |
|||
# The "BOXCODES" nicknamed pokémon must never gain experience from any other battle from this point onward |
