In the games' coding, there is a snowy weather effect that looks rather incomplete as it only has a few snowflakes falling and then remains dark, but seems like it was originally going to be in the game, perhaps [[Mt. Chimney]] was originally planned to be a snowy mountain instead of a volcano. The only way of getting this weather effect to occur is by hacking the games' weather header for a certain map.

There were also numerous changes to Pokémon included in the games. An early version of {{p|Torchic}} is nearly identical to the current designs, aside from the large floppy ears. There is another design though that shows it inside an eggshell with lots of fluff on its neck. Another curious picture depicts a creature with traits of both {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Blaziken}}, along with an unused {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Concept art of {{p|Treecko}} also shows numerous designs for the Pokémon before the final design was decided, mainly with less elongated head shapes and less round nose than the final design. {{p|Groudon}} also had a picture of its early design shown and it had a different shape to its eyes, one more set of spikes on the torso, one less spike on the tail, one of the spikes on the neck was moved to the head on the final design, overall shapes are much less sharp, head details became much more elongated, and the [[weather trio]] signature body markings are still not present.

A demo was available at the [[Pokémon Festa]] 2002 in Japan. There were beta versions of {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and the [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]], which is 'not yet open' according to the lady inside. There is also an unfinished version of the party screen, alongside a battle system more thoroughly developed in comparison to what was seen in older screenshots. When the battle starts, it is not possible to see how many Pokémon the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have. Some moves, like {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Faint Attack}}, are depicted with different animations than those seen in the final version. It is also shown that {{p|Sharpedo}} has no [[ability]] in the demo; it could mean that not all Pokémon could have abilities. Given {{p|Sharpedo}}'s low level in the demo, it could also mean that {{p|Carvanha}} didn't exist at the time.

===Day Care Mail===
Additional unused text makes reference to a Pokémon raised in the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day-Care]] receiving a piece of [[Mail]], presumably if raised with a Pokémon from another {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It is not known why this mentioned feature did not make it into the final game. This piece of text reads:
