Added Pokémon to both sections (it was only in post-release before), as some pre-release information was included there. Mentioned about the unused cries in a sub section, linking to the Debugging Version section for technical information.

There were numerous changes to Pokémon included in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. A prototype of {{p|Torchic}} was nearly identical to the final design, aside from the large floppy ears. There was another design that shows it inside an eggshell with lots of fluff on its neck. Another curious design depicted a creature with traits of both {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Blaziken}}, along with an unused {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Concept art of {{p|Treecko}} also showed 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 an earlier design where it had a different shape to its eyes, one more set of spikes on the torso and a spike less on the tail. One of the spikes on the neck was moved to the head on the final design and overall shapes were much less sharp. Head details became much more elongated, and the [[weather trio]] signature body markings were absent.

===Pokémon===
In the May 2007 issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', [[Junichi Masuda]] stated "There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in Ruby and Sapphire that we were able to put in this one, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}"{{fact}}, which likely suggests that {{p|Shellos}} and/or {{p|Gastrodon}} (existing sea-slug Pokémon) were planned for [[Generation III]] instead of [[Generation IV]].
Supporting this theory is the fact that [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|internal data]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} reveals a back sprite for both Shellos and Gastrodon with a slightly different design, but no front sprite. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, and seems to combine the West Sea variation's head with the {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|East Sea variation}}'s body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body.
====Cries====
The leaked [[:#Debugging Version 0509A prototype|Debugging Version 0509A prototype]] of German Pokémon Ruby contains two unused Pokémon cries playable on the Driver Test menu. These cries may have belonged to Shellos and Gastrodon.
===Battles===
===Battles===
[[Wild Pokémon|Wild]] [[Double Battle]]s were planned for the [[Generation III]] games in addition to the Double Battles against {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. This is evidenced by a text string found in the internal data that reads <code>Wild \v[&H05] and \v[&H03] appeared!</code>, with <code>\v[&H05]</code> and <code>\v[&H03]</code> being placeholder values used internally to display the names of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that the {{player}} would encounter. This mechanic would later be introduced in [[Generation IV]].

A Pokémon that has been modified to have Cacophony will regain the normal Ability it should have according to its [[personality value]] if it is migrated to a [[Generation IV]] game. However, it has not been fully confirmed that the Ability is not present within the internal data of the Generation IV games.

===Pokémon===
In a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' interview, it was revealed that {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} were originally planned for [[Generation III]] instead of [[Generation IV]]. These are not the forms in the final releases, however; [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|internal data]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} reveals a back sprite for both Pokémon, but no front sprite. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, and seems to combine the West Sea variation's head with the {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|East Sea variation}}'s body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body.
There were also numerous changes to Pokémon included in the games. A prototype of {{p|Torchic}} was nearly identical to the final design, aside from the large floppy ears. There was another design that shows it inside an eggshell with lots of fluff on its neck. Another curious design depicted a creature with traits of both {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Blaziken}}, along with an unused {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Concept art of {{p|Treecko}} also showed 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 an earlier design where it had a different shape to its eyes, one more set of spikes on the torso and a spike less on the tail. One of the spikes on the neck was moved to the head on the final design and overall shapes were much less sharp. Head details became much more elongated, and the [[weather trio]] signature body markings were absent.
