===Sprites===
Back sprites of Shellos and Gastrodon, presumably from one of the earliest prototype stages, have been found. These forms are possibly leftovers from when Shellos and Gastrodon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|were planned]] to be in [[Generation III]]. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its [[Form differences|West Sea variation]], and seems to combine the western variation's head with the [[form differences|Eastern variation]]'s body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its Western variation, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body. Before the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this was also considered by some fans to be another "unofficial confirmation" of [[Remake|Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes]], since its [[Pokédex]] data states that its colors and shapes differs from [[region]] to region. However, this proved not to be true due to these sprites' similarities to the existing forms, and the fact that there are no front sprites for either of the prototype forms. Additionally, there are no known forms of Shellos or Gastrodon that are exclusive to HeartGold and SoulSilver.
 
===Other prototype sprites===
{{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} all have had prototype sprites from various pre-release pictures and videos, but these sprites have not been found within the data. Munchlax's just seems to be a duplicate from the Munchlax sprite in [[Pokémon Dash]]. The Cherrim prototype sprite was shown in an early Japanese commercial. It is surprisingly like the final sprite, only with the left leg up instead. [[Pokémon.com]] showed prototype sprites in their run up to the release of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. These sprites of Munchlax and Weavile, as well as those of several others, can still be seen on the page in question.

===Early maps===
===Maps===
An alternate map of [[Spear Pillar]] has been found. It is similar to the normal game's Spear Pillar, but the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]] is missing. Many also think that the [[Mystery Zone]] found in the {{si|Pokémon League}} is a possible prototype map.

By using a "walk through walls" cheat and heading north through the trees at each of the three [[lakefront]]s, one can find a small puddle.

Unlike in the final release, which forces a parallel perspective inside most buildings, the three-dimensional perspective view used in the overworld was initially apparently intended for use in all buildings. Several objects inside of the buildings themselves, through hacking the camera to force it into its perspective move, have been revealed to actually be fully 3D models, such as tables.

In {{game|Platinum}}, buildings that are intended to be viewed in the forced-perspective camera lack side walls, only having the back one, while buildings whose interior design is carried over from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} have side walls fully modeled, such as inside of [[Pokémon Center]]s. This modeling of the side walls actually causes a graphical glitch, due to sprites being seen to pass through the walls on their edges, as well as in their shadows.

In multiple pre-release screenshots, an early design of the [[Pokétch]] was shown. This showed a smaller app changing button and more of the device on-screen. Also, the Digital Clock application was shown without a {{p|Pikachu}} at the bottom-left.

===Leftover sprites===
Back sprites of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, presumably from one of the earliest prototype stages, have been found. These forms are possibly leftovers from when Shellos and Gastrodon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|were planned]] to be in [[Generation III]]. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its [[Form differences|West Sea variation]], and seems to combine the western variation's head with the [[form differences|Eastern variation]]'s body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its Western variation, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body. Before the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this was also considered by some fans to be another "unofficial confirmation" of [[Remake|Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes]], since its [[Pokédex]] data states that its colors and shapes differs from [[region]] to region. However, this proved not to be true due to these sprites' similarities to the existing forms, and the fact that there are no front sprites for either of the prototype forms. Additionally, there are no known forms of Shellos or Gastrodon that are exclusive to HeartGold and SoulSilver.
The games' data has different back sprites for {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} – both regular and {{shiny|shiny}} forms. Sprites of a {{t|???}} type {{p|Arceus}} are also available.
