|desc= In Pokémon Red and Green there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]] }}

Unreleased Unown seen on Professor Oak's computer. Due to the introduction of two additional Unown forms in [[Generation III]], some fans have speculated that these may have been very early prototypes for new forms of {{p|Unown}}. Some of the Unown resemble various Greek and Cyrillic letters, namely {{wp|Я}}, {{wp|Ω}}, {{wp|Σ}}, {{wp|б}}, {{wp|Д}}, {{wp|ω}}, {{wp|Pi (letter)|Π}}, and {{wp|σ}}.
