I remember an AOL chat bot where u could train and battle pokemon. And this introduced me to hex editing because the author of the chat bot hard-coded his AOL name to be able to cheat and raises arbitrary stats of your pokemon in the ui of the game server.

If I remember correctly, you had to have a 9 or 13 letter name because it would corrupt the executable otherwise.
