#In the Spanish versions of FireRed and LeafGreen, the two passwords required to enter the Rocket Warehouse are "Aron ama a Nora" (literally "Aron loves Nora") and "Ho-Oh es ese Ho-Oh" (literally "Ho-Oh is that Ho-Oh"). However, in one point in the game, the text reads "Garon ama a Nora" instead; note the erroneous G at the beginning. In addition, the first password isn't a palindrome.

This happens because the game takes a space in the species name as a name terminator.
