Revision as of 13:51, 6 February 2012
During the planning and development stages of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, several parts were going to be a part of the games. Some of them were dropped or changed, but some of those dropped concepts can still be found in the game's programming.
Locations
| Sevii Isle 9 |
The islands in the Sevii Islands region would likely be named Sevii Isles. In addition, several more locations in the Sevii Islands have been found in the code, including Sevii Isles 6-9 and 22-24. Sevii Isles 8 and 9 have fully coded map data, implying that they were scrapped very late in the game's development.
A records room like that in the Hoenn games has also been found, but cannot be accessed without the use of a cheating device.
| Sevii Isle 8 |
| Hidden records room |
Items
Key items exclusive to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald are found within the programming code, complete with item sprites, and are obtainable only by hacking. For the most part, they have no use, though the Mach Bike and Acro Bike will act the same as the normal Bicycle obtainable in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen with the exception of not being recognized by the game for entering Cycling Road. Strangely, all of these items have accurate bag descriptions that are different from those in the Hoenn-based games (which have a different menu setup and less room for the description).
HM08, unobtainable except by cheating and containing Dive like in the Hoenn games, can be taught and deleted freely, making its use almost the same as a normal TM.
Text
In the localized releases of FireRed and LeafGreen, the text of dialogues is colored depending on the person's gender: blue for males and red for females, while other text remains in the usual black. In the original Japanese versions, no such distinction is made, thus all text is colored black. However, in pre-release footage from the games, this distinction is present even in the Japanese releases. The reason for this change is unknown. The video below, related to an early sprite for Professor Oak, shows this for a split second, at 34 seconds of playback.
Sprites

| The beta sprite for Professor Oak |
There is a beta sprite for Professor Oak that would have been used in the introductory part of the games. The only time it has been seen was on footage from one of the Japanese commercials, of which can be watched below.

An unused overworld sprite of Celebi has also been discovered in the coding. Its use is not known but it is possible that it might have been planned for an event.
Leftover weather effects
The same weather effects from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are present in the coding of FireRed and LeafGreen and are listed below:
- Rainy weather
- Rain with thunderstorm
- Heavy rain with thunderstorm
- Sunny weather with clouds in water
- Sandstorm
- Mist from top-right corner
- Dense bright mist
- Underground flashes
- Underwater mist
The two weather effects that have never been used in any Generation III game but that were originally planned to debut in Ruby and Sapphire (and that finally debuted in Generation IV with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl) are also present. They are related to snowing; one is composed of three snow flakes falling and the other consists of steady snowing.
Anti-piracy message
A message within the programming code of the games reads "By the way: If you like this game, buy it or die." This message is occasionally activated by talking to the Seagallop ferryman in Vermilion City while playing a bad copy of the games. Several of the groups who originally dumped the games later confirmed that the message was not added by them.
