A demo was available at the [[Pokémon Festa]] 2002 in Japan. There were beta versions of {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and the [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]], which is 'not yet open' according to the lady inside. There is also an unfinished version of the party screen, alongside a 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 Pokémon the [[Trainer]]s have. Some moves, like {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Faint Attack}}, are depicted with different animations than those seen in the final version. 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.

The alternative versions of {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and the [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]] still exist within the coding of the final release; though the associated tileset data for the beta Route 104 has since been removed.

The music used in the demo for [[Trainer]] battles was used for [[wild Pokémon]] battles in the final version.

Unused dialogue data, associated with the [[Pokémon Festa]] 2002 demo exists within the final game. The text remains untouched in the Japanese versions but has been translated in localized versions of the game.

===Day-Care Mail===
Additional unused text makes reference to a Pokémon raised in the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day-Care]] receiving a piece of [[Mail]], presumably if raised with a Pokémon from another [[Trainer]]. It is not known why this mentioned feature did not make it into the final game. This piece of text reads:
