Pokémon Black and White beta: Difference between revisions

The sprite on the {{pkmn2|starter}} selection screen for {{p|Tepig}} was different in some early videos. The prototype sprite had a more triangular hind foot, with only one of which shown, and had slightly different shading. Also, while selecting the starter, the other two starters were less darkened when compared to the final release.

===Sprites===

Prototype sprites for {{ga|Hilbert}} and [[Cheren]] were shown in an early video which was broadcasted on ''[[Pokémon Sunday]]''. Although the difference for Cheren's sprite is only where his eyes face, Hilbert's sprite received a complete overhaul. A prototype sprite for [[Bianca]], lacking her [[Xtransceiver]], was shown in the early video footage that came with an issue of ''Dengeki Nintendo DS''.

In some early footage of {{rt|4|Unova}}, {{tt|夢の跡地|ゆめのあとち}} ''[[Pokémon Black & White Super Music Collection|Dreamyard]]'' can be heard playing instead of the correspondent seasonal variant of {{tt|４番道路|４ばんどうろ}} ''[[Pokémon Black & White Super Music Collection|Route 4]]''.

Some {{wp|Retail|retailers}} in the {{wp|United Kingdom}} (specifically {{wp|Game (retailer)|GAME}} and {{wp|Gamestation}}) had pre-release box art using the name '''Alleos''' for the region as opposed to its final English name, [[Unova]]. This name was also used at pre-release and post-release demo events in the United Kingdom.

There were many changes to [[Castelia City]], where at least four different textures were shown before the final design. A few of these designs can be seen below.

===Skyarrow Bridge===

On an early screenshot of within [[Skyarrow Bridge]], a {{tc|Backpacker}} can be seen, who was replaced with an {{tc|Ace Trainer}} in the final release. However, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the exact same spot is occupied by a female Backpacker, just like in the pre-release screenshot for {{game|Black and White|s}}. In addition, two images released of the Skyarrow Bridge depicted a slightly different skyline of [[Castelia City]].

===Pokémon Center===

When buying items at a [[Pokémon Center]], the part of the screen where the {{player}} can be seen is shown to rotate a bit.

Since the engine that powers the games is improved upon that of the [[Generation IV]] games, all items from Generation IV, including [[Poké Ball]]s, [[key item]]s and {{DL|List of dummied out items|unused items}}, are present in the internal data, with the exception of [[HM07]] and [[HM08]], which are now blank space "?" items. However, most of these items are unobtainable. Other leftover items, like the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|God Stone}}, are specific to {{game|Black and White|s}} and can be likewise obtained through modification of the saved game or cheating.

If the {{player}} uses the "walk through walls" cheat, enters the [[P2 Laboratory]] and keeps walking down, there will be some leftover tables. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA39fmu0Cc4 link])
