The names of all the Pokémon are stored elsewhere, in a simple array of 256 names of 10 bytes each in international versions, and 5 bytes each in Japanese versions. These names are used for a variety of things, such as naming wild Pokémon and diplaying the species name in the Pokédex and on summary screens. The names are encoded with the [[Character encoding in Generation II|Generation II character encoding]], with any bytes after the name all being the string terminator <code>0x50</code>. The first name is Bulbasaur (index number 1), and the last (256th) name is that of the glitch Pokémon [[Five question marks#Hex 00|????? at index 0]]. | |||
