 Screenshot one is obviously a mountain area but I'm again unsure about the location. Judging from the sequence in the trailer it could be Route 45 & 46, Blackthorn City to New Bark Town. Screenshot two clearly shows the National Park, slightly differing from the final one in graphics and placements. For example, the decorative borders are bigger and arranged differently, a trash can in the top left, normally next to two benches, is missing and the people around the scene are differently placed as well.

+Well, the biggest gap in this reconstruction of G/S' development is the time from the dropping of the title's "2" in early 1998 to the overhaul of Nintendo's G/S site in early 1999 - a gap of about a year where quite an amount of development must have taken place. There surely exist some more screenshots and artworks from this timeframe, but sadly I'm unable to find them online. The best way to retrieve some of these "lost media" would probably be tracking down old Japanese gaming mags from this time, checking them for Pokémon G/S information and scanning the respective pages from them. But for the moment, the stuff here must be enough as getting such mags will take quite some time without some kind of contact in Japan.
