{{incomplete|article|Add missing information and media, like that found on other sites, such as [http://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue The Cutting Room Floor] wiki; expand some information and add missing references to reliable sources, when applicable}}
As with most gaming software, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, in their final release, contain several leftovers from the development stages that pertain to elements once planned but later scrapped.

In addition, the English localizations of these games, {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, had several of their own altered aspects during the two-and-a-half years between the release of Red and Green, their bug-fixing release, {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}, and the release of the merger between the Japanese games into Red and Blue for overseas markets.

==Global information==
===Pre-release===
====Female player character====
[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|right|thumb|Artwork featuring an assumed female {{player|protagonist}}, where she apparently has a {{p|Squirtle}}]]
There were originally plans for a female {{player|protagonist}} as older sketches suggest. {{adv|Green}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] seems to be based on her. The {{ga|Leaf|character}} was redesigned and included in the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}} of the games, to continue the standard of including a female protagonist.

====No Mew present====
According to the interview by [[Satoru Iwata]] with [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] and [[Shigeki Morimoto]] about the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, localized as ''Iwata Asks'', they admitted that after the {{wp|debugging}} tools were removed, they added {{p|Mew}} in the remaining space on the {{wp|Read-only memory|ROM}}. [[Nintendo]] thought that this would have been risky because altering the internal data after completing the testing period meant that any new {{wp|Software bug|bugs}} and/or {{wp|glitch}}es created by adding data without recurring to debugging tools would have been much harder to fix. Standard {{wp|Computer programming|programming}} practices usually discourage altering the {{wp|source code}} and not testing it just before releasing the {{wp|software}} to the customer.<ref>[http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>

====Poké Balls====
Some concept art depicts [[Poké Ball]]s on the ground, in two pieces. This is most likely just a carryover from when Pokémon was still the concept of [[Capsule Monsters]]. Strangely, the original Poké Ball sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} lack the button in the center of the Poké Ball.
{{-}}

=====The Pokémon=====
The pokémon in both games were ugly deformed and nothing like the images in the manual.

Warning creepypasta mention

There is a rumor that there were two unused Sprites in game one of them is white hand two attacks fist and brutal, the other is burried alive.

===Post-release===
====Concept art====
[[File:Pokemon conceptart.jpg|right|thumb|Early concept art by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
During a gaming exhibition called ''{{wp|Game On (exhibition)|Game On}}'', early concept art of {{game|Red and Green|s}} by [[Ken Sugimori]] was featured, along with [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|pre-release material]] from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The concept art depicts rough versions of various concepts that made it into the final releases of the [[Generation I]] games. They seem to include various {{pkmn|battle}}s, the {{safari|Kanto}}, {{ga|Red}} riding on a {{p|Lapras}}, a {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Celadon City]], [[Silph Co.]], and a town with a fountain which could have been reworked into [[Celadon City]]. Some other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are identifiable in a raw or semi-normal form, such as {{p|Gastly}} and others are prototypical of an entire class of Pokémon, such as a basic {{type|Dragon}}.

====''GameCenter CX''====
{{incomplete|section|Expand based on the information provided by Satoshi Tajiri, if applicable}}
A Japan-exclusive special Pokémon episode of '''''{{wp|GameCenter CX}}''''', known as ''Retro Game Master'' outside of Japan, included an interview with [[Satoshi Tajiri]], where he revealed early {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} character profiles of {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Kadabra}}. Notably, they are given a [[National Pokédex]] number which matches their [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|internal index number]], rather than their final [[Kanto Pokédex]] number. Nidoking, for instance is noted as being #007, rather than #034, either suggesting that there was another method of ordering the Pokémon proposed, or that they reflect their ordering in the internal data. The latter is supported by interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]], which verify that {{p|Rhydon}}, which index number is 001, was the first Pokémon ever created, and early sketches from [[Capsule Monsters]] featuring Rhydon. Nidoking is also referred to as '''マイコー♂''' ''Maikō♂'', indicating that there were either placeholder or alternate names for Pokémon before the development of {{game|Red and Green|s}} had finished.

In addition to this, it was confirmed in an interview with [[Shigeki Morimoto]] that there were originally going to be 190 Pokémon in Generation I, indicating that the 39 [[Missingno.]] found in the [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|internal index]] are formatted Pokémon.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78267 Smogon Community - There Were 190 Pokémon!]</ref>

{{youtubevid|F0RrnA0V3vc|ChickasaurusGL|yellow}}

====Professor Oak battle====
At the beginning of the {{player}}'s adventure, [[Professor Oak]] introduces {{ga|Red}} to the {{pkmn|world|world of Pokémon}} using a sprite that is similar to the {{pkmn|battle}} sprites of other characters. However, he also has three full teams of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} programmed in, each consisting of a {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, and the final [[Evolution|evolutionary]] stage of one of the {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}}.

His Pokémon are of an even higher [[level]] than those of {{ga|Blue}} as {{pkmn|Champion}}, perhaps implying that he was at one point intended to be faced after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

This battle is present in all [[Generation I]] games and can be activated by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 226 if the wild Ditto's {{stat|Attack}} is lowered by 4, 5, or 6 stages (each will yield a different one of the three teams).

====Bird type====
The {{t|Bird}} type may have been a prototype for the {{t|Flying}} type. This can be seen in the final releases: [[Missingno.]] is recognized as a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The Bird type is present in the internal data of the [[Generation II]] games, possibly due to their engine being an upgraded version of that of the [[Generation I]] games.

====Directions====
It is possible to force a situation where the {{player}} has a choice of selecting options '''<sc>North</sc>''', '''<sc>South</sc>''', '''<sc>East</sc>''', and '''<sc>West</sc>''' as opposed to the options which appear in the final release, such as <sc>Yes</sc>/<sc>No</sc> and <sc>Heal</sc>/<sc>Cancel</sc>. The words ''<sc>West</sc>'' and ''<sc>South</sc>'' do not even appear in the final releases.<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,36.msg185558.html#msg185558 Thread on Glitch City Laboratories forums]</ref>

====Unused Trainer class====
A [[Trainer class]] known as '''{{DL|Glitch Trainer|Chief}}''' (Japanese: '''シルフのチーフ''' ''Silph's Chief'') was omitted from the final releases, though like [[Professor Oak]], a {{pkmn|battle}} with an [[Non-player character|NPC]] with this data can be accessed through modification of the internal data or saved game data as well by cheating. It is apparently mentioned in-game by one of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in [[Celadon City]], and shares its battle sprite with the {{tc|Scientist}} Trainer class. However, he does not seem to have a team defined.

====Music====
An unused track has been discovered in the internal data. The music is originally high-pitched and incomplete as only the individual audio channels are left. There have also been attempts at recreating what the full theme would sound like.

;Original music:
{{youtubevid|gKMW7E8tbGU|Koolboyman}}

{{youtubevid|4wBsA5Bh4d0|ChickasaurusGL}}

;Recreation attempt:
{{youtubevid|GyoxWKZ6s8w|ChickasaurusGL}}

====Locations====
There are three [[List of locations by index number (Generation I)|map locations]] which are each identical to another map used in the final releases, except for the fact that the default theme used in the alternative location is different.<ref>[http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Alternative_map_locations_%28Generation_I%29 Glitch City Laboratories Wiki: Alternative map locations (Generation I)]</ref>

These locations are:
* The house invaded by [[Team Rocket]] in [[Cerulean City]]: has index number 69 instead of 62 and plays おつきみ{{tt|山|やま}}のどうくつ [[Game Boy Pokémon Sound Collection CD|''Mt. Moon Cave'']];
* The [[Underground Path (Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]]'s entrance at {{rt|6|Kanto}}: has index number 75 instead of 74 and plays the クチバシティのテーマ [[Game Boy Pokémon Sound Collection CD|''Vermilion City's Theme'']];
* The [[Poké Mart]] at [[Cinnabar Island]]: has index number 173 instead of 172 and plays the グレンタウンのテーマ [[Game Boy Pokémon Sound Collection CD|''Cinnabar Island's Theme'']].

Formatted data exists for an additional map location.<ref>[http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Unused_town Glitch City Laboratories Wiki - Unused Town]</ref> It is located straight after the final town in memory ([[Saffron City]]) but just before {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Its associated data is completely blank, even its header data and coordinates on the [[Town Map]] (as it is set as being part of [[Pallet Town]], with coordinates 0,0), except for the fact that an unused flag when checked allows the {{player}} to {{m|Fly}} to it. Attempting to travel to this location simply freezes the games.

An unused warp tile in [[Celadon City]] was recently discovered.<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6574.0.html Did Celadon City have an unused building?]</ref> It is internally programmed in to lead to 5F of [[Celadon Department Store|Celadon Dept. Store]], which in turn has its internal data located away from the data for the other floors, possibly suggesting that it was originally a completely different map in earlier stages of development, which is supported by the aforementioned discovery.

{{youtubevid|qQjHDpHBJQI|ChickasaurusGL|grass}}

A part of the internal data relates to a shop and may be associated with the formatted map location as mentioned above. The shop data lists {{DL|Poké Ball|Great Ball}}s, {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s, {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s and {{DL|Revive|Revive}}s.

====Items====
{{main|List of dummied out items#Generation I|List of dummied out items}}
Unused items with the names of all the [[Badge]]s exist in the internal data. This could mean that the Badges were originally going to be items that were carried in the {{player}}'s [[Bag]]. The BoulderBadge and CascadeBadge are the only ones that do something when used in battle&mdash;they allow the player to throw Bait and Rocks, respectively, as in the {{safari|Kanto}} {{pkmn|battle}}s. When used outside of battle, they have another strange effect&mdash;after the throwing animation, the music changes to a loop of [[Professor Oak]]'s "good [[Pokédex]]" jingle.

There is an item in the game named '''?????''', which enables the {{player}} to {{m|Surf}} without using a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Due to this ability, it is often referred to as ''Surfboard''. In the final releases, the [[move]] Surf can be used by a Pokémon as a [[field move]] serving the same function. This has led a few players to speculate that either the move Surf was not originally implemented as a field move or that the move did not initially exist as an [[HM]].

The [[Pokédex]] is also present as an inventory item. This item allows use of the Pokédex during {{pkmn|battle}}, much like {{Ash}} does in the {{pkmn|anime}}. However, due to its incomplete nature, it causes various graphical {{wp|Software bug|bugs}} upon usage. In the final versions, the Pokédex has its own entry on the pause menu, and cannot be used during battle.

====Pokémon names====
[[File:Generation I prototype English names.jpg|right|thumb|Unidentified poster showing early names for {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}]]
During the promotional period that preceded the English release of both the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, a large amount of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} were shown with different names from those they had in the final releases. Some of these names were similar to their final names, but some were quite close to their Japanese names, and others were completely different from any current Pokémon name.

====Text====
[[File:ODDISH_CUT.png|right|thumb|"<sc>Oddish Cut</sc> down a bush!"]]
On page 31 of ''{{wp|Nintendo Player's Guide}}'' for {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, a different text string for using {{m|Cut}} on a tree on the overworld was used. It reads "''<sc>Oddish Cut</sc> down a bush!''", being used in a screenshot when cutting down the tree next to the [[Vermilion City]] [[Gym]]. The fact that Cut can also be used to destroy areas of [[tall grass]] may have been the reason for the change to "''{Pokémon} hacked away with <sc>Cut</sc>!''" in the final releases.
{{-}}
[[File:BrockRB beta.jpg|right|thumb|"The <sc>Brock</sc> wants to fight!"]]
Before the English releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, screenshots were released of a {{pkmn|battle}} with the {{ga|Blue|rival}} where the text string "''The <sc>Blue</sc> wants to fight!''" was used. While this text would work with a typical {{pkmn|Trainer}}, such as "''The <sc>Lass</sc> wants to fight!''" or "''The <sc>Hiker</sc> wants to fight!''", as they were not given personal names until [[Generation II]], it would cause problems with [[Gym Leader]], [[Elite Four]], [[rival]], and link battles, leaving them to end up as "''The <sc>Misty</sc> wants to fight!''" or "''The <sc>Lance</sc> wants to fight!''", as these Trainers did not at the time have titles, only their names. Because of this, the {{wp|Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite article}} '''''The''''' was dropped in the final releases, leading to the somewhat odd sentence style in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}} of:
* "''{Trainer's class or name} wants to fight!''"{{sup/1|RBY}};
* "''{Trainer's class and name} wants to battle!''"{{sup/2|GSC}}.

A screenshot in the instruction manual of English Red and Blue still contains the text "''The <sc>Brock</sc> wants to fight!''", possibly suggesting a late removal. The instruction manual also mentions '''Pokémon Leaders''' instead of Gym Leaders.

A slightly different grammar was also going to be used for other text strings:
* "''{Player} sent {Pokémon} out!''" instead of "''{Player} sent out {Pokémon}!''";
* "''A wild {Pokémon} appeared!''" became just "''Wild {Pokémon} appeared!''" (this change would be reverted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where it has been kept since then);
** Similarly, "''The enemy {Pokémon} fainted!''" became simply "''Enemy {Pokémon} fainted!''" (since Ruby and Sapphire, this was changed by adding {{wp|Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite article}} '''''The''''' back to the string and replacing the word '''enemy''' with '''foe''' for {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|battles}} and with '''wild''' for [[wild Pokémon]] battles.
