+## Dynamic Trade Names
+
+Traded Pokemon are stored at gEnemyParty[0]. If you create a custom Pokemon to trade (not in sIngameTrades), the trading scene strings will get messed up. This loads the correct OT name / OT nickname from the pokemon's data structure rather than the in game trade array.

+Find `BufferTradeSceneStrings` After the `else` statement, replace the following:
+```c
+ingameTrade = &sIngameTrades[gSpecialVar_0x8004];
+StringCopy(gStringVar1, ingameTrade->otName);
+StringCopy10(gStringVar3, ingameTrade->nickname);
+GetMonData(&gPlayerParty[gSpecialVar_0x8005], MON_DATA_NICKNAME, name);
+StringCopy10(gStringVar2, name);
+```
+with:
+```c
+GetMonData(&gEnemyParty[0], MON_DATA_OT_NAME, gStringVar1);
+GetMonData(&gEnemyParty[0], MON_DATA_NICKNAME, name);
+StringCopy10(gStringVar3, name);
+GetMonData(&gPlayerParty[gSpecialVar_0x8005], MON_DATA_NICKNAME, name);
+StringCopy10(gStringVar2, name);
+```
+
+That's it!
