This phenomenon is confirmed for the Spanish version of Pokémon Red and Blue (Pokémon Roja y Azul) only. It was documented by hpoké_coloradohugge. http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,7023.0.html

The hex:F0 glitch Pokémon may have a name that never ends when it is sent out by the opponent in battle, which is 'ÙEnem. ÙEnem. ÙEnem (continued infinitely)'. This is because 'Enem.' (hex:59) is a control character that prints 'Enem. (POKéMON)', or just (POKéMON).

If you didn't encounter a wild Pokémon and run before battling, then 'POKéMON' is going to be the name of this glitch Pokémon, hence the game will print another 'ÙEnem.' and then the name of the glitch Pokémon (ÙEnem.) is printed again. This is a never ending loop.

You can work around this problem though. If you enter a wild Pokémon battle and run, then the name of your Pokémon is used as part of F0's name instead of Enem.(itself). Its name is actually terminated with a hex:50 if the Pokémon name is not hex:F0 itself, and is Ù(59 character)ゥ♀úÍ This doesn't work if you defeat the wild Pokémon instead of run.

To see F0 with GameShark, you can just use the GameShark code 01F0DDCF and enter grass (for non-English localizations)

Just because I felt like it though, I set up code for a P7 (item hex:5D), which is the equivalent of English 8F; an item that lets you execute arbitrary code. I have never obtained a P7 myself without cheating, but it should be possible with item underflow glitch.

The code:

Requires Wack0's payload to item 3:

Items from #3 (D327):

Lemonade x253
TM34 x98
TM08 x62
TM20 x04
TM34 x94
TM08 x201

Code:

This is just like using the following GameShark codes:

01FD62D0
