An earlier back sprite for {{ga|Ethan}} was also shown. His hair was slightly different and there was a symbol on his hat. There is also a prototype sprite for {{p|Lugia}}.

In addition, there is a [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] sprite for the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] within the coding of the games. However, it's impossible to legitimately obtain such form, due to the fact that this Pokémon is assigned a fixed [[personality value]].

Earlier screenshots also depict the [[Slowpoke Well]] with a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} standing where [[Proton]] is in the final release, as was the case with the original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Another screenshot depicts the Mystri Stage in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] with the three circles being identically colored. In the final release, they have three different colors specific to each circle.

Unused map description data in the Pokégear exists for several locations.
:[[Pokémon Tower|Lavender Radio Tower]]: ''"An old building that has been reused as a radio broadcasting tower."''
:{{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}: ''"A Battle Stadium with five different sets of rules to enjoy."''
:[[Mt. Silver]]: ''"A mountain where something mysterious awaits you underfoot."''
:[[Pokéathlon Dome]]: ''"A place where Pokémon can compete against each other's strengths."''
:[[Bellchime Trail]]: ''"A path said to always be bathed in sunset, no matter what the season."''
 
In the Japanese versions, the descriptions for [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], [[Goldenrod Tunnel]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Cliff Cave]], [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|KGR Map]], and {{rt|23|Kanto}} have the generic development text "Dummy Guide Message" (Japanese: ダミーのガイドメッセージ) followed by the location's name.

===Head Smash Nosepass===
Nosepass has {{m|Head Smash}} listed as an [[Egg move]] but is not able to breed with any Pokémon that knows this move making this egg move impossible to breed onto a Nosepass.
====Anti-Piracy====
If the game detects it is being played via a flash card or emulator, it will freeze during one of the first Trainer battles with the Poké Balls spinning indefinitely. Many emulators are still able to circumvent these features.
====References to Pokémon Gold/Silver====
There are two references leftover in game referring to the original [[Generation II]] games. However, the wording or reference has been altered in such a way that is no longer relevant.
=====Apricorn Balls=====
[[Kurt]] used to only be able to produce one Poké Ball at a time in Gold and Silver but in Crystal and HeartGold/SoulSilver he is able to make multiple Poké Balls at one time. However, he still refers to the multiple Poké Balls being made as a singular Poké Ball being made regardless.
=====Lucky Channel advertisement=====
In the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], on the first floor; there is still an advertisement on the wall for ''Lucky Channel'' which was a radio channel in the Generation II games the player character could tune in to. The channel was replaced with [[Felicity]] who gives the player prizes if their Trainer ID matches with that of the Pokémon. However, in the original Japanese releases, the wording for the ''Lucky Channel'' advertisement is altered to make it seem like it may have either been an upcoming or scrapped radio show.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HeartGold_and_SoulSilver#Obsolete_References_to_Gold.2FSilver.2FCrystal_Features Obsolete References to Gold/Silver/Crystal - TCRF]</ref>

====Game Corners====
Due to [[Pokémon controversy#Gambling|legal issues]] related with {{wp|gambling}}, the interior design of both [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Goldenrod]] and [[Celadon Game Corner]]s was completely overhauled in all non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, the original design is still present within the internal data of the localized releases, despite being severely limited, since most dialogue scripts were removed (with the exception of the [[Coin]] purchase interface, which is still completely functional and translated) and the [[slot machine]] interface pointers are redirected to the [[Voltorb Flip]] interface instead.
