Development:Pokémon Red and Blue/Localization/In-Game Text 5

This is a sub-page of Development:Pokémon Red and Blue/Localization.

Worth noting is that most of the first backup is untranslated, with the remainder of the localized text only added in 2-4-6.txt.

Miscellaneous changes include:

• Trainer tips originally started with "TRAINER TIPS!". The exclamation mark was later dropped in 2-4-12.txt.
• Internally, the apostrophe is represented by the backtick, but here the former is used instead of the latter (fixed in 2-4-2.TXT and 2-4-7.txt).
• "League" was decapitalized in 2-4-8.txt, which was later reverted in 2-4-14.txt.
• A handful of control character typos were fixed in 2-4-2.txt and 2-4-6.txt.
• Two messages got an unnecessary space trimmed, the first in 2-4-2.TXT, and then other in 2-4-3.TXT.
