Like the small textbox above the real textbox indicating the name of the person saying it? (Gosh, that was a long sentence)
Well... it can now be done in GBA! (Though only in FireRed)
Ruki made a tutorial about it in whack-a-hack foro. It is a simple yet effective method of inserting the mini textbox.
I made a patch for it so it will be easy for you guys to use it. Hope you like it! :D
The patch is inserted in the offset 0xFB0000, making sure that it is compatible with most Roms.

How to use:
Here's a sample script:
#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
loadpointer 0x0 @name
setvar 0x8000 0x1
setvar 0x8001 0xB
setvar 0x8002 0x8
setvar 0x8003 0x2
callasm 0x8FB0001
msgbox @talk1 0x6
callasm 0x8FB0101
release
end
#org @name
= Young Man
#org @talk1
= Look at the mini text-box above!
Note: Let the vars be as they are. The first callasm offset is the offset where the opening routine was inserted and the second one is where the closing routine was inserted.
Also, please notice that the frame of the mini text-box will be the same as the frame design as you chose in the 'Option' setting in start menu.
