How To Fight Bed Bugs

At first I thought I was just playing around by forcing the Old Man to fight a Trainer, but apparently it really screws with the system. The game has to temporarily change your name to "OLD MAN" so it will display properly, and when the Old Man catches the Weedle, it resets your name. It appears the game did not have a chance to reset my player's name ("RFS") and in the process the Bicycle was taken from my inventory, which was in place number one in the list. Everywhere the game says "RFS", it now says "OLD MAN", except the Original Trainers of all of my Pokemon; they still read "RFS". Turning off the force encounter code and having the Old Man demonstrate his skills does not fix the game either. I have never seen this documented before on any website, and I've done quite a bit of researching in my days. Truly something new here.
