Line 7:
Unlike the actual hexadecimal identifier used when Professor Oak attempts to catch a Pikachu at the beginning of the game, the player's name is not temporarily changed to 'PROF.OAK' and neither is his or her in-game sprite. Nintendo also decided that Professor Oak will catch a special Pikachu, therefore Nintendo chose to make all Pokémon encountered through this variable to have Pikachu's cry but in the unused battle system all Pokémon have their default cries.
 
It could be suggested Nintendo at first planned the player to catch the Pikachu by themselves but technical limitations would make it impossible for the Pikachu to have a special cry when encountered. If the special pikachu was made to occupy itsa unique index number it would be difficult to restrict it from being traded to Pokémon Red/Blue into a glitch Pokémon.
