Found at the beginning of bank 43 (address 0x10C000) is this early iteration of the title screen which comes with its own tilemap, tilesets, and even preliminary palette data. Namely, the Pocket Monsters logo is much more dull, and its highlights are inverted for the most part. Part of the logo are actually background tiles, with the rest being an overlay, which is superimposed atop the crystal emblem. As for the crystal, it is also a fair bit more faded, as well as larger in size. Meanwhile, both the version name and "POCKET MONSTERS" text are swapped, and are both written in English, as opposed to only the later. No copyright date is to be found here as well, and neither is the running Suicune, though instead a unique Unown emblem can be spotted in the lower right corner of the screen.
