As can be seen on one of the screenshots, {{m|Whirlpool|whirlpools}} were originally randomly interspersed across [[Route|sea routes]] to serve as obstacles.

On some other screenshots of different stages of development, part of a city resembling [[Ecruteak City]] is seen. Whether it was an actual prototype of Ecruteak City, or a completely distinct location, is not known.
On some other screenshots of different stages of development, part of a prototype city, '''Old City''', is seen. It appears to be a prototype [[Violet City]].


A screenshot depicting an earlier design for the [[Pokémon Center]] also shows an {{p|Unown}} ruin on the upper-right corner, which was possibly related to the [[Ruins of Alph]], or an equivalent location at that point in development.
A screenshot depicting an earlier design for the [[Pokémon Center]] also shows an {{p|Unown}} ruin on the upper-right corner. This was '''Font''', a town serving as a prototype [[Ruins of Alph]].


A [[gate]] at the end of a route is also shown.
A [[gate]] at the end of what was then '''Route 1''' is also shown. Most likely expanded into [[Johto Route 29|Routes 29]], [[Johto Route 30|30]], and [[Johto Route 31|31]].


Another screenshot also depicts possible prototypes of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], as well as of a gate—possibly the gate that leads to Route 35, or rather, the [[Magnet Train]] station in [[Goldenrod City]].
Another screenshot depicts '''West City''', a prototype [[Goldenrod City]]. It features '''JOPM''', a prototype [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], as well as a gate leading to an unnamed desert route. Curiously, the map itself bears some resemblance to the beta map for [[Azalea Town]], suggesting the general layout was kept for that town, while the Radio Tower and city theme spun-off into Goldenrod City.
