'''Sevii Isles 8 and 9''' are locations which are not accessible through normal gameplay in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. However, unlike other similarly-named unreachable areas, they have actual map data.

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.


No Pokémon are programmed into the areas by default; it seems as if there are abandoned areas left over from the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta]]. No index pointers lead to it by default either; on Isle 8 the central island of the "route" has what one would assume to have been cave entrances changed into the side of a rock.
A redesigned [[mixing records|records room]] like that in the [[Hoenn]] games has also been found, but cannot be accessed without the use of a [[cheating|cheating device]].


If it is entered when walking on land, it has the same route theme as the later Sevii Islands routes.

Revision as of 20:40, 19 January 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

File:SeviiIsle9.png

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 redesigned records room like that in the Hoenn games has also been found, but cannot be accessed without the use of a cheating device.

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.

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.

Unused/Leftover weather effects

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there are a number of unused or leftover (from Ruby and Sapphire) weather effects in the game.

  • Rainy weather
  • Rain with thunder storm
  • Heavy rain with thunder storm
  • Sunny weather with clouds in water
  • Three snow flakes (Unused)
  • Steady snowing (Unused)
  • Sandstorm
  • Mist from top right corner
  • Dense bright mist
  • Underground flashes
  • Underwater mist

Anti-piracy message

A message within the game's code 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 an improperly-dumped ROM of the game. Several of the dumping groups who originally dumped the ROMs later confirmed that the message was not added by them.
