Idk, but this reminds me that I hate JRPGs where names are in all caps. I instinctively type my character's name in normally only for everyone else to be in all caps

Character names are normal in Gen 4. It's only the Pokemon names that are in all caps in those games.

It's not like the engine didn't support lowercase, you could change it in the nicknames ;>_>

I hate when an RPG asks you what your name is before you've seen how they spell other character names.

I instantly exit the game, delete the save, and start a new file with my name in all caps.

They don't really do this anymore. Kids these days will never know the struggle.

Beats me, I never really questioned it lol

My guess is just that the all caps helped kids see a little better, but then you'd expect all text to be in caps, not just the trainers and pokemon.
