The '''Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo''' is an early build of the games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} that was shown at {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} '97 from November 21 to 23, 1997. At the time, the final game was estimated to be about 80% complete and was set to be released for the original [[Game Boy]]—the [[Game Boy Color]] would not be announced until late March of the following year.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190307015419/http://www.geocities.jp/pcakatsuki/pokemonlab/prepm2.html ''Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver Nintendo Space World 97 version'' - geocities.jp] (archived; retrieved June 21, 2021)</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990505010142/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html ''SPACEWORLD'97 Exhibit GAME BOY software vol.3'' - nintendo.co.jp] (archived; retrieved June 21, 2021)</ref> However, due to a variety of delays, including a complete overhaul to the game, it would not be released until late 1999.

During the two years after it was first shown at Nintendo Space World '97 until its final release in November 21, 1999, the game changed extensively from this early demo. As with the final games, the demo used the Japanese {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} as its basis for development.

Up until 2018, little information was known about this demo, due to the majority of the game being locked off from players. Only a few photographs were taken, and most of the information known comes from testimony of attendees. On May 26, 2018, however, ROM files of both the Gold and Silver demos were anonymously posted online, including versions with debug menus, allowing players to explore data that was blocked off at Space World.

Beyond what was intended to be played appears unfinished: many Pokémon have unfinished and placeholder base stats; scripts, NPCs, and warp data is largely absent; collision data is missing; and some areas are completely missing. Nevertheless, a large amount of information can be gathered from what is present, including many redesigned or scrapped Pokémon designs, minigame easter eggs, and a completely different region.

==Gameplay==
The demo begins with a monologue from [[Professor Oak]], similar to the final game. However, there is no option to give the player a gender or a name, who is instead automatically a boy named Satoshi (サトシ){{sup/2|G}} or Shigeru (シゲル){{sup/2|S}}. Afterwards, the player begins in his room in a town called Silent Hill (サイレントヒル); this town is also named Silent Hills (サイレントヒルズ) in the Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters (Japanese: ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック), published earlier in 1997. The player will already have 3000{{PDollar}} and eight [[Badge]]s, although the [[Gym Leader]]s are blacked out. One of three [[starter Pokémon]], randomly chosen, is already placed in the player's party.

Silent Hill has exits to the west, north, and east; however, the northern and eastern exits are blocked to prevent the player from accessing unfinished areas. A [[Pokémon Center]] which the player can enter is present in the town, but all of its functions are unavailable. Silent Hill also has a laboratory, but it cannot be entered.

The player will then move west to Route 1, a typical route with a dungeon called Silent Hill (しずかなおか) in the middle. (Although the English translations for both サイレントヒルズ and しずかなおか are the same, they are written differently in Japanese: the town is a transliteration of the English term "Silent Hill" in katakana, and the dungeon area in Route 1 is the Japanese native translation for "Silent Hill," written in hiragana.) Silent Hill has the first Trainers to encounter in the game. After going through Silent Hill, the player reemerges on the other side of Route 1, where they will encounter another trainer. At the end of Route 1, the {{ga|Silver|rival}}, automatically named Shigeru (シゲル), stops the player, and the demo ends. The demo will also end if the player [[Black out|blacks out]].

==Differences from the final game==
The demo and the final versions of the [[Generation II]] games had numerous differences.

</gallery>

The demo was meant to be played on Game Boy hardware and was not designed to take advantage of the colors available on a Game Boy Color; as such, the colors available through the Super Game Boy were less detailed. The day and night system is present, but due to running on a Game Boy color scheme, the change in colors for the time of the day are just shades of blue. Playing the final games on a Super Game Boy yields a similar effect.

The intro lacks music, and instead of showing the Generation II starters at the end of the intro, {{p|Venusaur}} and {{p|Blastoise}} are shown instead; {{p|Charizard}}, which was present in the final game's intro, has a slightly less detailed design.

[[Generation I]] Pokédex entries were carried over as placeholders for Pokémon until new Pokédex entries were able to be written for them. All Pokédex entries for Generation II Pokémon use the same placeholder text:{{tt|「はっけんされた　ばかりの　ポケモン　げんざい　ちょうさちゅう。」|Now investigating this newly discovered Pokémon.}} In an odd occurrence, it was also possible to battle wild Pokémon twice in a row without moving from a grass panel; why this was an implemented feature at the time is unknown.

[[Kanto Route 1]] music plays for all Routes. The music of [[Viridian City]], [[Saffron City]], and [[Pewter City]] plays for all cities and towns present. Trainer and wild Pokémon battles both use Pokémon Red and Green [[Gym Leader]] music. More tracks from Pokémon Red and Green are present for events that are not normally possible in this build.

===Type chart===
Several type match ups differed from the final version of the game. Notably, {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Dark}} would be super effective against Dark types, while Normal types would only take resisted damage from Dark-type moves, {{t|Water}} and {{t|Electric}} would have been super effective against {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Poison}} would be resisted by the Steel-type instead of Poison-type moves doing no damage.

In the below type chart, bold text and a different shade of the color means that the type matchup is different than in the final version.

==Demo restrictions==
As this game was meant to be publicly played at Space World '97, there were several restrictions put in place to make sure the game could not lock up or be set up to not work for other players. The only options available at the start screen are "ポケモンを あそぶ" (Play Pokémon) and "せっていを かえる" (Change Settings). There is no Continue option as the player is not able to [[save]] in the demo build. The player is given a random level 8 [[starter Pokémon]].

The player only has [[Potion]]s as [[Pokémon Center]]s are not accessible in the demo. PCs are also not able to be used. Trying to visit a Pokémon Center or use a PC gives the text of "''under repair''" or "''being adjusted''." This is likely to prevent a single attendee from hogging the demo by repeatedly healing to avoid [[black out|blacking out]].

The {{Player}} and rival's names are random pre-selected names. Starter Pokémon and wild Pokémon that appear in the demo are not able to evolve. When an NPC loses, they do not have any losing dialog, presumably to make the demo faster to play. The player can only visit Silent Hill and early routes up to the forest area. When all the player's Pokémon faint (i.e. the player [[black out|blacks out]]), the game returns to the title screen, ready for the next person to play.

==Pokémon==
<!--Please refrain from speculating what their translated names would have been or speculate why a Pokémon may have been dropped or redesigned, thank you.-->
{{main|Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo/Pokémon}}

Although only a few new Pokémon can be seen in the demo through normal gameplay, 100 new Pokémon had been designed at the time. Some of these Pokémon were kept into the final release largely unchanged; some had major modifications; others went completely unused. 16 of the unused Pokémon were related to the original 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon, and two of the unused Pokémon were related to [[Generation II]] Pokémon which made it into the final release.

Many of the 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon still used their sprites from Pokémon Blue as placeholder sprites during this time. Several Pokémon would have also gained either an evolution or a [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]]. Certain scrapped Pokémon correspond to, and may have inspired, later-generation Pokémon such as {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Lickilicky}}.
<!--I do plan to add notes on Pokémon that had drastic changes along with Pokémon that were dropped but this is just a placeholder for the time being. Any Pokémon pages that wind up being made should link to here. Pokémon that only got minor changes to their appearance should only have their changes noted on the respective Pokémon's page in their trivia section. Thank you! - Frozen Fennec-->

Many new Pokémon that were unused in the demo had placeholder base stats, which were all 50.

===Special entry animations===
{{p|Pikachu}} and Sanī used the special "stars" animation, which would be later used for [[Shiny Pokémon]]. However, this demo lacked a special animation linked to Shininess.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pokémon_Gold_and_Silver/Spaceworld_1997_Demo/Pokémon#Shinies Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1997 Demo/Pokémon → Shinies | The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>

Hōhō used a special "fade-in" animation, which remains in the final games, but is unused.

There was also a special "wave" animation, which was unused even in the demo.

===Shiny Pokémon===
[[Shiny Pokémon]] had much different mechanics than in the final games. Instead of exact DV requirements (Defense, Speed and Special DVs at 10, and Attack DV of 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15), all Shiny Pokémon had DVs of 10 or higher for all stats other than HP, which translates to Shininess odds of 81/4096, or ~1.977%. Shiny Pokémon had no special star animation when sent out, although that animation is implemented in-game. For some reason, it only applies to non-Shiny {{p|Pikachu}} and Sanī.

Due to technical limitations caused by the Super Game Boy's hardware, each color palette also had an assigned Shiny palette. Thus, all Pokémon with a given color palette also had the same Shiny palette.

==Maps==
[[File:Johto Town Map GS Demo.png|thumb|Demo map of Johto]]
{{main|Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo/Locations}}
Although only {{DL|Pokémon Gold and Silver demo/Locations|Silent Hill}} and the route and forest leading from it to {{DL|Pokémon Gold and Silver demo/Locations|Old City}} are accessible in the demo, many other locations are programmed into the game. However, the inaccessible locations lack collision and warp data.

The final map of [[Johto]] shares little resemblance to the region present in the demo, which was based on the entirety of Japan, with [[Kanto]] included as a large city within it. Apart from Kanto and a prototype of the [[Ruins of Alph]], none of the areas from the final game appear in the demo; however, some maps bear similarities.
<!--More will be added here in time but for now, this is a placeholder.-->

==Mini-games==
This build of the game contained far more mini-games, with a total of 5.

===Title screen===
[[File:GoldDemoTitle alternate.png|thumb|Alternate title screen]]
A hidden mini-game involving {{p|Pikachu}} can be played if the game is left idle at the title screen for an extended period of time. The player tries to avoid obstacles and collect musical notes while catching up to {{p|Jigglypuff}}. The game ends once Pikachu catches up to Jigglypuff and returns to the title screen. After playing, the title screen will have musical notes flying across the screen, rather than fire.

===Picross===
A {{wp|picross}} mini-game featuring Pokémon was present.

Some Pokémon picross puzzles would later appear in [[Picross NP Vol. 1]]. {{OBP|Pokémon Picross|Game Boy Color}} would also be announced for the [[Game Boy Color]]; however, it was ultimately cancelled. A Pokémon picross game would not be released until [[Pokémon Picross]] in December 2015.

===Poker===
The poker mini-game was based on the real-life game of {{wp|poker}} but with various Pokémon on the cards instead of clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. It would be replaced with [[card flip]] in the final version of the game.

===Memory game===
A {{wp|Concentration (game)|memory game}} is a game where the player attempts to match five pairs of cards in five turns. However, no coins are actually rewarded for any matches. This game remains [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Game Corner|unused]] in the final game.

===Slide puzzle===
The last mini-game is a 15-tile {{wp|slide puzzle}} game where the player has to try rearranging the tiles to reveal who the Pokémon is.

==Items==
{{main|Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo/Items}}
With the introduction of [[held item]]s, many new items and [[Key Item]]s were added that would be cut, have slight changes in how they worked, or be scrapped altogether.
