The Ho-Oh sprite on the title screen of Pokémon Gold actually uses three colors, suggesting that it was originally intended to appear in all its brilliance instead of as a silhouette. Various changes to Ho-Oh's presentation on the title screen were made during development, with it appearing as a two-color silhouette in the Space World '97 demo, then in full color in prerelease materials from 1999. In the final game, the palette assigned to Ho-Oh renders all three of these colors as black, so its illustrious hues are not normally seen.
