The roster loaded depends on the memory address D05D. Normally this value is 00, but encountering a Trainer writes that Trainer's roster value to it. This value is kept after battle, so more than one type of old man trick Trainer can be battled.

The old man trick can be used to convert the fourth item into a few other items if the player has a name that lets them encounter a Trainer, and the identifier of the fourth item is not $1X, $3X, $5X, $7X, $9X, $BX, $DX, or $FX. This requires fighting a Rocket on Silph Co.'s 11F first.
