This very early title screen features the Dialgia and Palkia models from Diamond and Pearl's title screen, spinning around. A logo does not exist yet so the game's title (ポケットモンスター ホワイトブラック) is used, visible directly on the top screen, alongside the text "PUSH START BUTTON" in red.
Main Menu
Press Start for the main menu. The text displayed on the top screen is:
つづきから はじめる | Continue さいしょから はじめる | New Game
Continue or New Game
Pressing Continue or New Game shows some NPCs moving around and the player (using HGSS' sprite as a placeholder) on the bottom screen, before crashing a second later.
Title Debug Menu (Pokemon WB TestMode)
Press Select at the title screen. You'll be shown a title screen debug menu, with the text "ポケモンWB プログラム テストモード" (Pokémon WB Program Test Mode)" visible at the top.
On the bottom screen, Game Freak's website url is shown.
The option names are the programmer's names in Hiragana and in English.
The options in this menu are, from top to bottom:
| Options |

NOTE: Pressing L + R + Select + Start once you've pressed any of these actions will return you to the title screen.

There's also a Pokémon battle information screen (Trainer's team, levels, etc) which seems to trigger randomly with button presses (?)
