The soundtrack contains all of the background music from the games. Much of the music is remixed from the music of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It serves as the closest approximation to a soundtrack release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, which are the only paired versions that lack an official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. Discs 1 and 2 of the soundtrack contain the rearrangements of Generation II music, in addition to the music assigned to new areas. Disc 3 of the soundtrack (based on the [[GB Sounds]] feature), is meant to emulate the style of 8-bit music. However, not all of the GB Sounds music is available on the CD.

{{incomplete|section|Wikipedia has nifty info from official sources. Post it and cite it here}}
 
===Sprites===
[[CoroCoro]]'s editions containing pre-release information of the games depicted earlier sprites for {{ga|Silver}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}}. Chikorita's leaf was darker.
 
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.
 
{{p|Cyndaquil}}'s front sprite in the opening of the games is different from its front sprite used during regular gameplay.
