Map Icons
An unused map icon for the Pokégear. It resembles the female player character from Pokémon Crystal.
A Pokégear phone number list filled with placeholder characters.

Cherrim's Sunshine form has both an unused front and back sprite frame for a sending-out animation, which is normally impossible to see. Cherrim always enters the battle in the Overcast form, even when the sun is already active. These sprites are carried over from Pokémon Platinum.

There exists an unused second animation frame meant for Cherrim's Sunshine form in the Pokémon menu, which is unused as the menu will always show the Overcast form. The first frame can naturally be seen in the Pokedex. The sprite is exclusively found in HeartGold and SoulSilver and doesn't exist in Diamond/Pearl or Platinum.
Pokéathlon
A happy little leftover!
A happy little monster!
A series of drawn numbers ranging from 1 to 5.
Four multicolored squares. Put together, the white characters inside spell "アイコン" ("Icon").
A group of (used) Pokéathlon graphics, with a handwritten comment left over.
Some small sprites, with a developer comment on the bottom.
A sunset landscape
A larger, alternate version of the previous image
Idyllic grass-covered hills
A larger, alternate version of the previous image
Two unused backdrops, two extended versions, and a placeholder grid.
Pokéwalker
Boxes filled with the numbers 0 through 29, presumably representing the Pokémon displayed when placing one in the Pokéwalker.
Overworld Menu
Two unused menu graphics.
PC Box Graphics
A pixel Poké Ball, found with the PC Box sprites.
Diploma Graphics
A placeholder sprite, possibly representing a trainer.
A circular placeholder sprite resembling Jigglypuff.
Wi-fi Plaza
Four images found with the Wi-fi Plaza games' graphics.
Arceus Event
The NARC file located at a/0/2/4/5 contains the assets for the Sinjoh Ruins cutscene. It includes the following unused images. The file names are taken from the leaked HGSS source code (files at the ld_arceus folder).
arc02
big10
circle01
circle02
circle03
circle11
culture01
disaster03
egg01
nature03
nature04
nature05
nature06
nature07
nature08
The arc02 image is part of an earlier set of drawings of Arceus' face.
The big10 image seems to have palette issues.
The egg01 image is part of an earlier set of sprites for the hatching egg.
The circle images are leftovers from early revisions of the scene that included Arceus's sprite embedded onto the image (instead of overlaying it). The geometrical shapes also appeared in a different order (the big circles first, and then the details).
The rest of the images (culture, disaster and nature) seem to be just stock images. However, they don't seem to come from the Sozaijiten library like the used assets (which might be one of the reasons they ended up unused).
Miscellaneous
An unused design featuring Poké Balls, including some sort of instructions at the top of the image.
