Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1999 Demo/Text Differences

This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1999 Demo.

Unsurprisingly, most of the dialogue and other story contents have already been finalized. However, a good handful of text differences still remain.

System Text

Miscellaneous Text

Prototype	Final
POKEMON2GOLD POKEMON2SILVER	POKEMON_GLDAAUJ POKEMON_SLVAAXJ

• The internal names of each versions were changed when the time came for the final release. The original ones actually date all the way back to the 1997 builds.

Japanese	Translation
ちょうど　カビがはえている しゅんかんの　しんしゅポケモン	Just about moldy. New POKéMON species.

• The item spot which was later assigned to the Scope Lens uses a radically different description in this build. It actually appears to be an inside joke, a dedicated entry for the general idea of a Teru-Sama. This makes more sense given how in Japanese, Teru-Sama is known as "Kabichu" ("Moldichu"), a cute nonsensical name which serves as yet another playful jab at Kōji Nishino.

Japanese	Translation
てがみが　かける かいたメールを　ポケモンに　もたせる	Print MAIL (HOLD)

• Every mail type besides Flower and Surf shares this placeholder description.

• The Surf Mail (なみのりメール) is known here as "Lapras Mail" (ラプラスメール), which was likely changed due to being rather redundant. A handful of other items also have textual differences, with additional information regarding those being available here.

Prototype	Final
ときどき　なかで うごいて　いるようだ うまれるまで　もう そんなに　かからなそう	ときどき　なかで うごいて　いるようだ うまれるまで もうちょっと　かな？

• One of the egg cycle messages has slightly different wording. However, the meaning of the message remains unchanged.

Prototype
どちらかが　エーボタンを　おすと つうしんが　おこなわれるよ！ やめるときは　ビーボタンを　おしてね	AR link will start as soon as one of you two presses A. Press B to stop.
Final
エーボタンを　おすと つうしんが　おこなわれるよ！ ビーボタンを　おすと つうしんを　ちゅうし　します	Press A to link AR-Device Press B to cancel it.

• The Mystery Gift screen's message was rewritten.

Prototype
あなたは　ポケモンずかんを みごと　かんせい　させました！ その　いだいな　こうせきを しょうめい　します	Congrats! This diploma certifies that you have completed your POKéDEX.
Final
しんがた　ポケモンずかんを みごと　かんせい　させた いだいな　こうせきを　たたえ ここに　しょうめい　します	This certifies that you have completed the new POKéDEX.

• The Pokédex Diploma reuses the blurb from the Generation I Diploma, instead of using a unique message.

• The "UNDERGROUND" map header is missing entirely in this build.

Trainers Classes

Prototype
タマしょくにん	BALL SMITH
Final
はぐれけんきゅういん	SCIENTIST

• It seems like Kurt was considered as a potential trainer for longer than we thought, which is even supported by him having his own trainer sprite here. Ultimately overwritten by the Scientist class.

Prototype
せんせい	TEACHER
Final
スキーヤー	SKIER

• Originally occupied by the scrapped male version of the Teacher class, which is even supported by it having its own trainer sprite here. Ultimately overwritten by the Skier class.

Prototype
？	?
Final
ライバル	RIVAL

• The second version of the Rival class, which like in the Generation I games is used to change his sprite in later battles. Not yet implemented in this build.

Prototype
スポーツマン	SPORTSMAN
Final
ロケットだんいん	TEAM ROCKET

• Originally occupied by the scrapped Sportsman class, which is even supported by it having its own trainer sprite here. Ultimately overwritten by the male Rocket Executive class.

Prototype
？	?
Final
ロケットだんいん	TEAM ROCKET

• The female Rocket Executive class, which is not yet implemented in this build.

Prototype
？	?
Final
ボーダー	BOARDER

• The Boarder class, which is not yet implemented in this build.

Prototype
レッド	RED
Final
ポケモントレーナー	PKMN TRAINER

• Red's trainer class is actually just his name, not unlike how Gen I handles gym leader names (being simply the character's name, as opposed to "[Title] [character name]").

• The following trainers changed names. Also worth noting are Route 35's two Picnickers, Kim and Brooke, whose names are both swapped in this build.

Week Siblings

Prototype	Final (Japanese)	Final (Localized)
つきこ (Tsukiko)	ツキコ (Tsukiko)	Monica
ひこ (Hiko)	ヒコ (Hiko)	Tuscany
みずお (Mizuo)	ミズオ (Mizuo)	Wesley
もくお (Mokuo)	モクオ (Mokuo)	Arthur
かねこ (Kaneko)	カネコ (Kaneko)	Frieda
つちお (Tsuchio)	ツチオ (Tsuchio)	Santos
にちお (Nichio)	ニチオ (Nichio)	Sunny

• All the siblings' names are spelled using hiragana rather than katakana. This change is also reflected in their respective dialogue.

• Arthur's dialogue has an extra space at the end of one line, which causes a slight graphical error, as a portion of the dialogue box's frame gets overwritten by a blank tile.

Prototype	Final
げつようびの　つきこ ……　４０ばん　すいどう かようびの　ひこ ……　２９ばん　どうろ すいようびの　みずお ……　いかりのみずうみ もくようび　もくお ……　３６ばん　どうろ きんようび　かねこ ……　３２ばん　どうろ どようび　つちお ……　フスべ　シティ にちようび　にちお ……　３７ばん　どうろ	げつようびの　ツキコ ……　４０ばん　すいどう かようびの　ヒコ ……　２９ばん　どうろ すいようびの　ミズオ ……　いかりのみずうみ もくようびの　モクオ ……　３６ばん　どうろ きんようびの　カネコ ……　３２ばん　どうろ どようびの　ツチオ ……　フスべ　シティ にちようびの　ニチオ ……　３７ばん　どうろ

• The latter half of the book in the siblings' house also uses their earlier names, and all entries after Wesley are missing a "no".

Johto

New Bark Town

Prototype
オーキドはかせの　ポケモンこうざ みんな　きいて　くださいね！ こちらは　ポケモンチャンネル　１２ おあいては ディージェイ　クルミ　でした！ ポケ　モン ポケモンチャンネル　１２　……	PROF.OAK'S POKéMON TALK! Please tune in next time! PKMN CHANNEL 12! This is DJ MARY, your co-host! POKéMON! PKMN CHANNEL 12...
Final
オーキドはかせの　ポケモンこうざ みんな　きいて　くださいね！ こちらは　ポケモンチャンネル おあいては ディージェイ　クルミ　でした！ ポケ　モン ポケモンチャンネル　……	PROF.OAK'S POKéMON TALK! Please tune in next time! POKéMON CHANNEL! This is DJ MARY, your co-host! POKéMON! POKéMON CHANNEL…

• The radio in the player's bedroom has a slightly different message. Moreover, text doesn't autoscroll in the demo, and interacting with the radio once the message finishes starts it from the very beginning, instead of simply repeating the last two lines.

Japanese	Translation
ほんとう？ じゃあ　つかってみせてよ	Really? Then show me how you use it.

• The player's mother has an extra string after obtaining the Poké Gear.

Prototype
<PLAYER> おそくなるなら　でんわ　してね	<PLAYER>, if you're late, call me. Ok?
Final
こんな　かんたんに でんわ　できるなんて　すごいわね	Gee, isn't that convenient?

• The last string spoken by the player's mother is also completely different.

• The TV uses its default "It's a TV!" message in this build. Meanwhile, the final games have a custom string which references to the movie "Night on the Galactic Railroad", the same way that the player's TV in Generation I references the movie "Stand by Me".

Prototype
ぼくだって　おつかい　できるもん！ ぼくも　ポケモン　ほしいのにな……	But I want to catch POKéMON too! I want a POKéMON of my own...
Final
ぼく　おおきくなったら おとうさんの　おてつだいを　する！ そして　すごい ポケモンはかせに　なるんだ！	When I grow up, I'm going to help my Dad! I'm going to be a great POKéMON professor!

• Professor Elm's son has different dialogue.

Prototype
あれ　<PLAYER>くん タマゴ　かえったんでしょ ポケモン　どうしてるの？	Oh, <PLAYER>! The egg hatched, didn't it? How's the POKéMON?
Final
ウツギ『どうだい タマゴに　へんかはあったかい？	ELM: Hey, has that EGG changed any?

• Professor Elm has different dialogue prior to him witnessing the hatched Togepi.

Prototype
あの　オーキドはかせが ぜひ　きみに　あいたいって これを　おくってきたんだよ	PROF.OAK wished to see you, so he sent you this.
Final
ほら！ ふねのチケット	See? It's an S.S.TICKET.

• Professor Elm has different dialogue before gifting you the S.S. Ticket.

Prototype
じゃあ　オーキドはかせに　よろしく！	Give my regards to PROF.OAK!
Final
じゃあ　カントーに　いったら オーキドはかせに　よろしく！	Give my regards to PROF.OAK in KANTO!

• After gifting you the ticket, he also lacks the string where he comments how you will be able to catch some Kanto Pokémon. His final string was also expanded slightly.

Route 31 Gate

Prototype
ごめんね このさきには　いけないんだ もうすこしだけ　まっててね！	Sorry... You can't go any further. So please, just wait a bit longer!
Final
おっ　しょうねん マダツボミのとうの　けんがく　した？	Hi, guy! Did you visit SPROUT TOWER?

• The guard has completely different dialogue. However, it was likely just changed due to this NPC being used as a roadblock for the sake of the demo.

Prototype
あら？　すてきな　ポケモン！ あなたは　きっと すてきな　トレーナーさん　なのね	Hey, nice POKéMON! You must be quite a great trainer.
Final
ずいぶんと　とおくに　きちゃった！ おうちに　でんわ　しようっと！	I came too far out. I'd better phone home!

• The Cooltrainer NPC also has completely different dialogue, though unlike the guard it's likely that this may have actually been what she originally said.

Violet City

Prototype	Final
キキョウ　ポケモンジム	キキョウ　シティ　ポケモンジム

• The Gym sign has a slightly different message, only stating that this is the "Violet Pokémon Gym" as opposed to the "Violet City Pokémon Gym".

Route 32

Prototype
くさむらで　いいポケモン　みつけた！ こいつは　なんか　つよそうだぜ！	I found some good POKéMON in the grass! This one looks to be pretty tough!
Final
くさむらで　いいポケモン　みつけた！ なんか　やって　くれそうだぜ！	I found some good POKéMON in the grass! I think they'll do it for me!

• Youngster Gordon has slightly different dialogue for when he first spots you.

Japanese	Translation
ヌオー『ぐぎょ！	QUAGSIRE: Gugyoo!

• There is a Quagsire in the Pokémon Center that is missing entirely in the final games. In-game, this string is followed by Quagsire's cry.

Ruins of Alph

Prototype	Final
おおむかしの　たてものと　いうと おうさまの　はかを　れんそう　するの ピラミッドとか　こふん　とか……	おおむかしの　たてものと　いうと おうさまの　はかを　れんそう　する ピラミッドとか　こふん　とか……

• The old man's dialogue was very slightly tweaked, removing the no at the end of the second string. This change doesn't affect the meaning of the message.

Azalea Town

Prototype
まちから　ヤドンが　いなくなった こりゃ　よくねえ　しらせ　かもな こんなときは　じっとしてるに　かぎる	All the SLOWPOKE have disappeared from the town. This could be bad news. We should stay in.
Final
まちから　ヤドンが　いなくなった うーん　もりのかみさまが おいかり　なのか……？ なんにしろ　よくねえ　しらせ　かもな こんなときは　じっとしてるに　かぎる	All the SLOWPOKE have disappeared from the town. The forest's pro- tector may be angry with us… It may be a bad omen. We should stay in.

• The initial dialogue of the Charcoal Kiln's boss is a bit different, namely lacking any mention of Celebi.

Japanese	Translation
１０ねんで　いちにんまえに　なれるぞ	I guess you really get quite capable at 10 years old.

• The final dialogue of the Charcoal Kiln's boss has an extra line at the end.

• The buddhist altar in Kurt's house uses its default message in this build. Meanwhile, the final games has a custom string which describes it as a Celebi statue. As with the Charcoal Kiln, the omission of these touches of world-building is simply due to Celebi being a very recent addition in this build.

• Kurt's granddaughter doesn't have any new dialogue for when he leaves to help at Slowpoke Well. In the final games, she remarks how she feels lonely after he leaves.

Prototype
たしかに　われら　ロケットだんは ３ねんまえに　かいさんした だがな　こうして　ちかに　もぐり かつどうを　つづけていたのだ それも　これも　すべての ポケモンを　しはいする　という おおきな　もくてきの　ためにな……	Yeah, TEAM ROCKET was broken up three years ago. But we continued our activities underground. All for our grand plan to control every POKéMON...
Final
たしかに　われら　ロケットだんは ３ねんまえに　かいさんした だがな　こうして　ちかに　もぐり かつどうを　つづけていたのだ これから　なにが　おきるか たのしみに　してるが　いいぜ！	Yeah, TEAM ROCKET was broken up three years ago. But we continued our activities underground. Now you can have fun watching us stir up trouble!

• Parts of the final Grunt's dialogue in the Slowpoke Well were rewritten.

Route 34

Prototype
おとくな　けいじばん！ ウバメのもりは おおくの　きが　しげっているため そらをとぶ　わざが　つかえません ねんのため　あなぬけのヒモを もっていると　あんしん　かも	TRAINER TIPS A forest's canopy is too dense for one to simply FLY through it. This makes ESCAPE ROPES a must-have!
Final
おとくな　けいじばん！ みのなるきは　１にち　たつと あたらしい　きのみを　つけます どこに　なにが　なるか おぼえておいて　また　きましょう！	TRAINER TIPS BERRY trees grow new BERRIES everyday. Make a note of which trees bear which BERRIES.

• The Trainer Tips sign has a completely different message.

Prototype
２ひきのポケモンを　そだてていたら	I was raising two POKéMON, you see.
Final
ばあさんと　ポケモン　そだてていたら	I was raising POKéMON with my wife, you see.

• The introductory dialogue of the Pokémon Daycare couple is slightly different, namely lacking the "How incredible is that?" string after they comment how shocked they were to find a Pokémon egg out of the blue.

Prototype	Final
どうじゃ？ なにか　そだてたく　なったろう？	どうじゃ？ なにか　そだててみるかい？

• The message asking if you’d like to have one of your Pokémon raised in the Daycare was also tweaked slightly. However, the meaning of the message remains unchanged.

Goldenrod City

Prototype	Final
コガネ　ポケモンジム	コガネ　シティ　ポケモンジム

• The Gym sign has a slightly different message, only stating that this is the "Goldenrod Pokémon Gym" as opposed to the "Goldenrod City Pokémon Gym".

Prototype
わたしの　ポケモンちゃん　ゴースとか こわそうな　ポケモン　にがてなの いやーん！！ ごめんね　わたしの　ポケモンちゃん わたしも　くらいところ　あるくの なんとなく　にがてなのよね	My POKéMON doesn't do well with those scary GHOST types. Oh no, my POKéMON! I'm so sorry! We both are a bit scared of walking in dark places...
Final
ほんきで　こないと きつーいの　おみまい　しちゃうわよ！ いやーん！！ ごめんね　わたしの　ニャースちゃん どんな　タイプの　ポケモンも こうげき　できるように わざを　おしえたんだけどな	Give it your best shot, or I'll take you down! No! Oh, MEOWTH, I'm so sorry! I taught MEOWTH moves for taking on any type...

• For some reason, Beauty Samantha has completely different pre-battle, loss, and post-battle dialogue.

Prototype
コガネって　とかい　だから みどりが　すくないでしょ なんだか　おちつかないのよね だから　こうして　いえの　なかで きを　そだててるの よかったら　あなたも いろんな　きに　おみずを　あげて	Being the capital, there's not much greenery here in GOLDENROD. What a busy place. That's why I grow trees in my house like this. So please, go and water all sorts of trees, you too!
Final
あら？　あなた アカネちゃんより　つよいんだ うごく　き　って　しってる？ ゼニガメじょうろで　みずを　かけると おそいかかって　くるんだけど そんなに　バッジ　もってるなら だいじょうぶ　そうね！	Oh, you're better than WHITNEY. Do you know about that moving tree? If you wet it with a SQUIRTBOTTLE, it attacks. But since you have some BADGES, you should be OK.

• The florist in the Goldenrod Flower Shop has completely different dialogue.

Prototype
うごく　き　って　しってる？ おみずを　かけてあげたら おどろいて　とびあがったの とても　おもしろかったよ　フフフ	Do you know about the moving tree? If you water it, it springs up in surprise! How funny, teehee!
Final
うごく　き　って　しってる？ おみずを　かけてあげたら おどろいて　とびあがるのよ！	Do you know about the moving tree? If you water it, it jumps up in surprise!

• The florist's assistant also had her dialogue changed slightly. That, and she lacks her "pre-Plain Badge" dialogue, where she talks about the "mysterious tree" on Route 36.

Prototype
ただいま　こうじちゅう　です できるまで　おまちください	We currently have issues to fix. Please be patient.
Final
でんしゃが　こない！ こうなりゃ　かわりに　わたしが おきゃくさんを　せおって…… そりゃ　むりか	The train hasn't come in… I know! I'll carry the passengers on my back! That won't work.

• The guard in the Train Station has completely different dialogue for when you can't yet take the train.

• The gentleman in the Train Station lacks the last few strings of dialogue where he comments how the Magnet Train connects Kanto and Johto to one another.

Japanese	Translation
タイムカプセル　つこてる？	Ever heard of the TIME CAPSULE?

• Bill has an extra line of dialogue right after greeting the player for the first time.

Radio Tower

• The Radio Tower's director doesn't mention that he "better go to his office" right after defeating the Rocket Executive. Fittingly, he doesn't physically leave after his dialogue is over, instead simply unloading after you exit the room, then being spawned in his office across the room.

Prototype	Final
その　きもちを　つたえたくて ラジオほうそうを　つたえているんだ	その　きもちを　つたえたくて ラジオほうそうを　はじめたんだ！

• Post-takeover, the director also had one of his lines changed slightly, though it only amounts to a verb being changed to a synonym.

Prototype
クルミ『それって　ノーマルタイプの ポケモンに　ぴったりって　かんじ！	MARY: It's just right for normal- type POKéMON.
Final
クルミ『それって ノーマルタイプの　わざを　つかう ポケモンに　ぴったりって　かんじ！	MARY: It's just right for POKéMON that know normal- type moves.

• DJ Mary's dialogue was tweaked slightly.

Route 35 Gate

Prototype
はなしかけると　グネグネ　うごく き　が　みちを　ふさいでるのよ！ ゼニガメじょうろで みずを　かけちゃおうかしら	A strange tree is blocking the road. It wriggles around if you talk to it. Maybe we could try to water it using a SQUIRTBOTTLE?
Final
はなしかけると　グネグネ　うごく きが　みちを　ふさいでるんですって ゼニガメじょうろで　みずを　かけたら あばれだしたって　はなしも　きいたわ	A strange tree is blocking the road. It wriggles around if you talk to it. I heard it became wild when someone watered it with a SQUIRTBOTTLE.

• The middle-aged woman had her dialogue partially rewritten.

Japanese	Translation
わたしが　むしとり　たいかいの しゅさいしゃ　なのだ！ いやー　さいしょは さんかしゃが　すくなかったけど いまでは　だいせいきょう！ みんな　たのしそうで わたしは　うれしいよ！	I'm the one who organizes the Bug- Catching Contest! We didn't have many participants at first. But now, we've built such a great community! I'm happy that everyone seems to be having fun!

• The National Park Gate has an extra Gentleman NPC who is nowhere to be found in the final games.

Prototype
つよい　むしポケモンを つかまえた　ひとが　ゆうしょうです！ ただし！ てもちの　ポケモンは　１たい　だけ！ ちゅういして　ください！ たいかいで　つかう せんようの　ボールです！ どうぞ！ せいげん　じかんは　２０ぷん！ また　パークボールを　つかいきると たいかいは　しゅうりょう　します！ さいごに　つかまえた　ポケモンは さんかしゃの　ものに　なりますよ！ がんばって　つよそうな ポケモンを　つかまえて　ください！	Catch a bug POKé- MON to be judged. However! You can only have one POKéMON on hand. So chose wisely! Here are the PARK BALLS for the Contest. You have 20 minutes. The con- test also ends if you run out of PARK BALLS. You can keep the last POKéMON you catch as your own. Go out and catch the strongest bug POKéMON you can find!
Final
てもちの　ポケモンは　１ぴきで つよそうな　むし　ポケモンを つかまえられるか　くらべるだけです たいかいで　つかう せんようの　ボールを　どうぞ！ いちばん　つよそうな　ポケモンを つかまえたひとが　ゆうしょうです！ せいげん　じかんは　２０ぷん！ また　パークボールが　なくなると しゅうりょう　です！ さいごに　つかまえた　ポケモンは さんかしゃの　ものに　なります！ がんばって　つよそうな ポケモンを　つかまえて　ください！	Using one of your POKéMON, catch a bug POKéMON to be judged. Here are the PARK BALLS for the Contest. The person who gets the strong- est bug POKéMON is the winner. You have 20 minutes. If you run out of PARK BALLS, you're done. You can keep the last POKéMON you catch as your own. Go out and catch the strongest bug POKéMON you can find!

• The National Park guard had some portions of his Contest dialogue rewritten.

National Park

Location	Prototype	Final (Japanese)	Final (Localized)
Route 30	ヤスオ (Yasuo)	ミキヤス (Mikiyasu)	Bug Catcher Don
Azalea Gym	タカツ (Takatsu)	サダオ (Sadao)	Bug Catcher Benny
Azalea Gym	カズト (Kazuto)	トモミチ (Tomomichi)	Bug Catcher Josh
National Park	マサオ (Masao)	アキヒト (Akihito)	Pokéfan William
Route 15	ケンタ (Kenta)	トモユキ (Tomoyuki)	Schoolboy Kipp
Route 2	コウサワ (Kousawa)	ヨウヅ (Yōji)	Bug Catcher Ed

• Around half the participants of the Bug-Catching Contest have different names. This is due to them being actual trainers who were later renamed, with the only exceptions being Bug Catcher Josh, Bug Catcher Ed, and Schoolboy Kipp, who all already use their final name in this build.

Ecruteak City

Prototype	Final
エンジュ　ポケモンジム	エンジュ　シティ　ポケモンジム

• The Gym sign has a slightly different message, only stating that this is the "Ecruteak Pokémon Gym" as opposed to the "Ecruteak City Pokémon Gym". The rest of the message after that was also changed, going from "せんりがんで　すべてを　みぬく　もの" ("The One Gifted with Clairvoyance.") to "せんりがんを　もつ　しゅげんじゃ" ("An Ascetic Gifted with Clairvoyance.").

Japanese	Translation
ひとつは　やけて　このとおり もうひとつは　どこに　あるのやら	One of them burned to the ground. As for the other one, it's still around.

• The old man in the center of town has one extra line of dialogue at the end.

Prototype
はっきり　ゆーたら あたらしい　ポケモン あたらしい　わざ　そして　どうぐは タイムカプセルでは つうしんこうかん　できひんねん	Put simply, no sending new moves, new items, or new POKéMON in the TIME CAPSULE.
Final
はっきり　ゆーたら あたらしい　ポケモン あたらしい　わざは タイムカプセルでは つうしんこうかん　できひんねん	Put simply, no sending new moves or new POKéMON in the TIME CAPSULE.

• Bill originally told the player that some items couldn't be traded via the Time Capsule... which is blatantly untrue, and was likely just a mistake to begin with.

• The history book in the Itemfinder's house lacks the "keep reading" portion that discusses the tale of the three legendary beasts.

Prototype
このさきの　すずのとうに なにやら　ぬすっとが しのびこんだ　ようす…… ですが　ポケモントレーナーでない わたしたちに　なにが　できましょう オロオロ…… すずのとうが　ゆれた！ きっと　いちばん　うえに ポケモンが　もどってきたのです！	Some trespasser is hiding in the BURNED TOWER. But we're no POKéMON TRAINERS, what can we do... The belfry shook! A POKéMON must have returned to the top!
Final
スズのとうは　エンジュの ジムバッジを　もつ　ものだけが のぼれる　しんせいな　とう もうしわけないが おひきとり　くださいまし スズのとうは　エンジュの ジムバッジを　もつ　ものだけが のぼれる　しんせいな　とう おお！ それは　エンジュの　ジムバッジ！ どうぞ　おとおり　くださいまし	TIN TOWER is off limits to anyone without ECRUTEAK GYM's BADGE. Sorry, but you'll have to leave. TIN TOWER is off limits to anyone without ECRUTEAK GYM's BADGE. Ah! ECRUTEAK's GYM BADGE! Please, go right through.

• The standing Sage in Barrier Station doesn't block you from entering Tin Tower even if you don't have the city's badge, and thus his corresponding "pre-Fog Badge" dialogue is completely different. His other dialogue set instead appears after you've obtained the Rainbow Wing, and was ultimately rewritten slightly and assigned to the wandering Sage.

Prototype	Final
この　さきにある　すずのとうは おおぞらを　とぶ　ポケモンが やすむ　ばしょ　として　つくらました	この　さきにある　スズのとうは おおぞらを　とぶ　ポケモンが　やすむ ばしょ　として　つくられました

• The wandering Sage has no "post-Rainbow Wing" dialogue, and his base dialogue was reformatted slightly. The Tin Tower's name is also in hiragana instead of katakana.

Tin Tower

Prototype
どろぼう？　おれが？ とんでもない！ オレは　ここに　まいおりる　という ポケモンの　なぞを　さぐってたの！ にしがわの　とうが　やけてから ここにいた　ポケモンは ずっと　そらを　とんでいるらしい そこでだ…… とんでいる　ポケモンと　おなじ においがする　モノを　もっていれば においに　さそわれて やってくるって　すんぽう　だ！ その　においをだす　どうぐとは…… にじいろのハネ！ そうと　わかれば さっそく　さがしに　いくと　するか！	A BURGLAR? Me? Nonsense! I'm trying to un- cover the secret of the legendary POKéMON that is said to land here. They say that the POKéMON has flown continuously ever since the TOWER in the West burned. If you brought something with the same smell as that flying POKéMON, it would be attracted by its scent. The item that emits this smell is probably... A RAINBOW WING! You got that? Then go look for it!
Final
わたしは　ここに　まいおりるという でんせつの　ポケモンの ひみつを　さぐっているのです にしがわの　とうが　やけてから ここにいた　ポケモンは ずっと　そらを　とんでいるそうです そこで　かんがえました とんでいる　ポケモンと おなじ　モノを　もっていれば さそわれて　やってくる　はず！ その　おなじ　モノとは　おそらく…… にじいろのはね！ だが　そんなもの どこに　あるんでしょう？	I'm trying to un- cover the secret of the legendary POKéMON that is said to land here. They say that the POKéMON has flown continuously ever since the TOWER in the West burned. So, I thought that if I had what the POKéMON has, it would be attracted by that item. I think that item is probably… A RAINBOW WING! But, where would I find one?

• The Sage on the first floor who blocks the stairs for most of the game doesn't exist in this build, and in his place is a wandering Burglar NPC. Said NPC's dialogue was ultimately rewritten and assigned to the Sage in the final games.

Route 39

Prototype

• The Fishing Guru in the Pokémon Center doesn't comment on the happiness of your Pokémon, instead using a unique separate string.

• The Fishing Guru's house has two extra background events with its bookshelves... though they redirect to the same set of flavor text strings (Pokémon magazines), so they're completely superfluous.

• The Sailor in the Olivine Cafe who hands you HM04 lacks the string explaining how this move requires the Plain Badge in order to be used outside of battle.

• The Sailor in the docks who lets you board the Fast Ship lacks the string where he asks to see the player's ticket.

Final
うずまきじまの　ひみつ…… とりあえず　なかは　まっくらだ！	A secret about WHIRL ISLANDS… It's pitch-black inside!

• Swimmer Mathew has completely different post-battle dialogue. Neither Cloyster nor Starmie can be found in the Whirl Islands in the final games, so it's no mystery why this message was ultimately changed.

Cianwood City

Japanese	Translation
オニドリル『キュイン！	FEAROW: Kyuin!

• There is a Fearow in the Pharmacy that is missing entirely in the final games. In-game, this string is followed by Fearow's cry.

• Mania's house and the family of three's house both have two extra background events with their bookshelves, which redirect to a different flavor text string (Pokémon books).

• The Rocket Executive's dialogue features one extra line in the demo.

Prototype
こおらされると　ポケモン なにも　できなくなるぞー！ なにも　できなかったのは　こっちか そういえば……　こおらされても つかえる　わざも　あるらしいなあ	POKéMON can't do anything when they get frozen! In the end it was me who couldn't do anything... By the way... I heard there are moves they can use even when frozen.
Final
おれは　ヤナギさんの　つよさ その　ひみつを　しっているぜ！ しょうがない ひみつを　おしえて　やろう ヤナギさんが　つよい　りゆう…… それは　まいにち つめたい　たきに　うたれて みも　こころも　きたえてるからだ！	I know PRYCE's secret. OK. I'll tell you PRYCE's secret. The secret behind PRYCE's power… He meditates under a waterfall daily to strengthen his mind and body.

But hey--we're not playing games here! Do you see how serious we are? This GYM is great. I love boarding cont with my POKéMON!

Prototype
おれは　ヤナギさんの　つよさ その　ひみつを　しっているぜ！ しょうがない ひみつを　おしえて　やろう ヤナギさんが　つよい　りゆう…… それは　まいにち つめたい　たきに　うたれて みも　こころも　きたえてるからだ！	I know PRYCE's secret. OK. I'll tell you PRYCE's secret. The secret behind PRYCE's power… He meditates under a waterfall daily to strengthen his mind and body.

• Psychic Phil has different pre-battle dialogue.

Blackthorn City

• The old woman's house has two extra background events with its bookshelves... though they redirect to the same set of flavor text strings (Pokémon magazines), so they're completely superfluous.

Final
おれも　イブキさんのような ドラゴンつかいに　なるんだ！	I'm going to be a dragon user like CLAIR.

• The Cooltrainer in the Pokémon Center doesn't comment on the happiness of your Pokémon, instead using a unique separate string.

Final
……　そうだわ！ この　ポケモンジムの　うらに りゅうのあな　とよばれる ばしょが　あるの	I know. You should take the dragon user challenge. Behind this GYM is a place called DRAGON'S DEN.

• Clair's initial post-battle dialogue was partially tweaked. Interestingly, while the bit about the player taking on the dragon user challenge is exclusive to this build, it somehow managed to end up in the final games.

Prototype	Final
そこの　おくに　おかれた りゅうのキバを　とってくる　ことが ドラゴンつかいが　いちにんまえと みとめられるための　ぎしき あなたも　それが　できれば ジムバッジを　わたすに　ふさわしい トレーナーとして　みとめるわ	そこの　おくに　おかれた りゅうのキバを　とってくることが ドラゴンつかいが　いちにんまえとして みとめられるための　ぎしき あなたも　それが　できれば ジムバッジを　わたすに　ふさわしい トレーナーとして　みとめるわ！

• The clerk in the Pokémon Center lacks the last portion of his dialogue, where he comments how the Magnet Train makes Johto really accessible.

Prototype	Final
……　……　……！！	……　……　……　…… 　……　……　……　……

• The little interaction with the Cooltrainer and her Slowbro is slightly different here. First of all, the trainer asks for her Slowbro to use Sonic Boom instead of Confusion, which was likely changed due to it not being a move it can normally learn. Secondly, Slowbro's cry and dialogue doesn't play, and its trainer's reaction was rewritten as can be seen above.

Japanese	Translation
ヤドランの ソニックブーム　さくれつ！	SLOWBRO shows off SONICBOOM!

• Thirdly, this string is exclusive to this build, and reveals that Slowbro originally did successfully perform the move.

• The southernmost Guard has slightly different dialogue when talking to the worker. His first string refers to Cerulean City, as opposed to just Cerulean, and his last string misses the interrogation mark. The middle string was tweaked slightly, but not in a way which impacts the translation.

ポケモンのふえ　の　ねいろを ながしてる　チャンネルが　あるけど かくちょうカードが　ないと じゅしん　できないのよ	ポケモンのふえ　の　ねいろを ながしてる　チャンネルが　あるのよ かくちょうカードが　ないと じゅしん　できないけどね

Do you happen to know FISHERMAN WILTON? He fishes on ROUTE 44. He came through with an amazing tip on the phone. Thanks to him, I caught a whole lot of a rare POKéMON. What a day it was!

• The Fishing Guru has different dialogue. The part about Staryu appearing at night was reworded, and assigned to Swimmer Wendy for her pre-battle dialogue (which here is already finalized).

Celadon City

Japanese	Translation
かっこいい　ポケギアを もってるじゃないか！ さいしんがた　だね！	Woah! The latest POKéGEAR model! That's so cool!

かのじょに　メールを　かくんで ラプラスメールを　かいに　きたんだ！	かのじょに　メールを　かくんで なみのりメールを　かいに　きたんだ！

• One of the Youngsters on the fourth floor of the Department Store refers to the Surf Mail by its original name, the Lapras Mail.

Prototype
へー　これが　いかりまんじゅうか コイキングが　たくさん　いる いかりのみずうみの　めいぶつだよね？	RAGECANDYBAR, eh? So this is that specialty from the LAKE OF RAGE. The one famous for its many MAGIKARP?

• The old woman in the Celadon Condo used to speak with more difficulty, making use of the onomatopoeia for labored speech. Meanwhile, in the final games she speaks normally.

Japanese	Translation
きれいな　おねえさんの ポスターだ！	It's a poster of a beautiful lady!

• The left poster in the Game Corner actually has a unique message in this build. Meanwhile, the final games replaced this string with a copy of the one used for the right poster.

Final
だいすきな　とりポケモンと おおぞら　とぶのが　ボクのゆめ！	My dream is to fly with my beloved bird POKéMON.
