Guides:Nickname Writer Codes

This page serves as a repository for Nickname codes that can be used with the nickname writer program. It is part of the TimoVM's Gen 1 ACE setups set of guides.

It is assumed that you installed the corresponding version of the Nickname Writer for a specific language version of Red, Blue or Yellow prior to using these codes. Guides for installing the Nickname Writer can be found here:

	French	SRAM Glitch

Yellow	English	SRAM Glitch

This page is split up in a section with simple codes intended for common uses and a section with complex codes for specific uses. Codes are both language specific and version specific, please make sure you select the appropriate code for your language.

When using the Nickname Writer, please make sure of the following:

• Make sure the appropriate box is selected as the active box.
• Please check the trainer card within the main menu before using the ACE item to prevent loss of save data.
• When a code ends on one or more blank space(s), make sure to manually input these blank spaces one by one to prevent getting an incorrect result.
• As a side effect, the Nickname Writer will rename the first party pokémon to the last nickname code used. After you've typed out a code in full, instead of executing the code you could opt to enter an additional nickname to properly rename your first party pokémon.

Simple codes

Adding and changing items

Add any item

This code adds a specific amount of a specific item to the item bag. If the item bag is full, this code will not have any effect.

Customizability: The hexadecimal values marked in bold determine the item quantity and ID given by the code. By default, it will give 99 (quantity $63) Rare Candies (ID $28). Use the Big HEX List to search what values correspond with specific items.

Note: When giving yourself a key item, it is heavily recommended you use a quantity value of 01. This will prevent possible weirdness when depositing the key item to the PC.

Changing party pokémon #1's level

In Red, Blue and Yellow only, the pokémon's typing was stored within the pokémon data. This means that it can be altered using ACE.

This code changes party pokémon #1's types to the types specified by the code. Each pokémon has two type values, for monotypes pokémon both these values are identical. By default this code makes party pokémon #1 monotype psychic (type $18 and type 18).

Customizability: The values marked in bold determine the first and second type respectively. The following table describes all non-glitch types available within the game, as well as the "Bird" glitch type. Glitch types are always completely neutral when it comes to type effectiveness, they also do not provide STAB to any non-glitch moves.
