[[File:Sharpedo_no_ability.jpg|thumb|250px|Sharpedo's lack of ability. In the place where the ability description should be, it says "It doesn't have an ability."]]
[[File:Sharpedo no ability.jpg|thumb|240px|Sharpedo's lack of ability. In the place where the ability description should be, it says "It doesn't have an ability."]]
A demo was available at the [[Pokémon Festa]] 2002 in Japan. There were prototypes of {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and the [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]], which was "not yet open" according to the lady inside. There was also an unfinished version of the [[party]] screen, alongside a {{pkmn|battle}} system more thoroughly developed in comparison to what was seen in older screenshots. When the battle starts, it is not possible to see how many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have. Some moves, like {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Faint Attack}}, are depicted with different animations than those seen in the final release. It is also shown that {{p|Sharpedo}} has no [[Ability]] in the demo; it could mean that not all Pokémon could have Abilities. Given {{p|Sharpedo}}'s low level in the demo, it could also mean that {{p|Carvanha}} didn't exist at the time.

Given {{p|Sharpedo}}'s low level in the demo, it could also mean that either {{p|Carvanha}} didn't exist at the time or that {{p|Carvanha}}'s evolution method to Sharpedo was yet to be decided.

There were a multitude of changes to Pokémon included in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. A prototype of {{p|Torchic}} was nearly identical to the final design, aside from the large floppy ears in either side of its head. There was another design that shows Torchic inside an eggshell with lots of fluff on its neck. Another curious design depicted a creature with traits of both {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Blaziken}}, along with an unused {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Concept art of {{p|Treecko}} also showed numerous designs for the Pokémon before the final design was decided, mainly with less elongated head shapes and a less rounded nose than the final design.

{{p|Groudon}} also had an earlier design where it had a different shape to its eyes, one more set of spikes on the torso, and one less spike at the end of its tail. One of the spikes on the neck was moved to the head on the final design, and overall shapes were much less sharp. Head details became much more elongated, and the [[weather trio]] signature body markings were absent.

In some early screenshots, the roofs of [[Poké Mart]]s are colored red instead of blue. The [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]] bar was also different from the final release. Some prototype sprites for several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} were also shown, including {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Duskull}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Wynaut}}, and {{p|Sharpedo}}.

In the May 2007 issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', [[Junichi Masuda]] stated "There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in Ruby and Sapphire that we were able to put in this one, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}", which likely suggests that {{p|Shellos}} and/or {{p|Gastrodon}} (existing sea-slug Pokémon) were planned for [[Generation III]] instead of [[Generation IV]].

Supporting this theory is the fact that [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|internal data]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} reveals a back sprite for both Shellos and Gastrodon with a slightly different design, but no front sprite. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, and seems to combine the West Sea variation's head with the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|East Sea variation}}'s body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body.

===Unused Level Up Animation===
By adding a frame of delay to the west.s file, the level up animation changes to flash the EXP bar.

The leaked [[:#Debugging Version 0509A prototype|Debugging Version 0509A prototype]] of German Pokémon Ruby revealed a sound test menu allowing to play two unused Pokémon cries in slots 266 and 269 on the Driver Test menu. These cries may have belonged to {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}. This sound test was later found in the final versions of Ruby and Sapphire, along with the same unused cries.

The cries of [[Generation III]] Pokémon are not stored in National Pokédex order or in index number order, instead going in a unique order from {{p|Kecleon}} to {{p|Chimecho}}, which like in the index number list, is located after all other Pokémon. This order remains in the final versions of the game, though normally unseen. Among the initial Generation III Pokémon cries in the audio data are the aforementioned Kecleon, {{p|Duskull}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Azurill}}, which were also among the first Generation III Pokémon to be [[History_of_Pokémon#Generation_III|revealed]].

[[File:Three Snowflakes unused FRLG.png|thumb|240px|The "four snowflakes falling" [[weather]] effect.]]
In the internal data, there is a [[weather]] effect for snowing that looks rather incomplete as it only has four snowflakes falling once, but seems like it was originally going to be used in the final release. A likely location for using this would be [[Mt. Chimney]], as it might have been originally planned to be a snowy mountain instead of a volcano. The only way of activating this weather effect is by modifying the weather header for a certain map in the {{wp|Read-only memory|ROM}}.
