| As far back as 1992,<ref>https://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/Unused_Maps</ref> Viridian City was significantly different when compared to the final Red and Green games. The entire north-eastern side of the map contains a dense array of trees, and fences block the western path to Route 22, though this may have been to gate the player from going to the Indigo Plateau. Both the southern and northern exits are also strangely misaligned with Route 1 and 2 as they lack a paved road, suggesting that this version of the map was from an even earlier point in time. No water is present, though [[tall grass]] could originally be found here, suggesting there was always going to be wild encounters for the player in the very first city.

| Although Kanto was planned to return in Gold and Silver since 1997, the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] reveals that at the time, Kanto was a tiny reconstruction of its original map, as opposed to being far more complete in the final. This included a heavily condensed Viridian City, with the Route 22 Gate leading westwards being the only distinct piece of geography to survive the transition. | | Although Kanto was planned to return in Gold and Silver since 1997, the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] reveals that at the time, Kanto was a tiny reconstruction of its original map, as opposed to being far more complete in the final.

| As far back as February 2018, Viridian City had quite a few changes, as evidenced from various prototype builds. Among a general lack of NPCs, larger assets around the edge of the map, and a slight differences in texture colors,<ref>https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pok%C3%A9mon:_Let%27s_Go,_Pikachu!_and_Let%27s_Go,_Eevee!/February_26,_2018/Early_Maps#Viridian_City</ref> Viridian's largest difference has to be to the overall layout and model work. Changes to the layout were also made, such as a tree to the east of the Poké Mart instead of a grey fence, which can also be seen in pre-release screenshots that were shown on the same date as the game's reveal. This was brought to be closer to the final sometime before May 2018. <ref>https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Pok%C3%A9mon:_Let%27s_Go,_Pikachu!_and_Let%27s_Go,_Eevee!#May_30th.2C_2018</ref> Early models at this point include both the lamp-posts along the pavement, as well as the interactable sign near the cluster of trees in the north-west.
