Default Names on Name Entry Screen
judicornadamsfoster edited this page 2026-09-26 13:58:27 +01:00
Table of Contents

Normally in vanilla Emerald, when pressing START on the player naming screen without typing anything, it will randomly pick from a list of 20 names.

This quick guide changes it so it defaults to BRENDAN or MAY (or your chosen names) when pressing START instead.

include/strings.h

delete the following lines (lines 355 to 394):

extern const u8 gText_DefaultNameStu[];
extern const u8 gText_DefaultNameMilton[];

extern const u8 gText_DefaultNameReid[];
