Pokémon Red and Blue were the first Pokémon games to be released in the US, on September 30, 1998. Several beta elements of the game have been discovered by ROM hackers who have examined the game's code.
Professor Oak wants to fight
Professor Oak has a full team of Pokémon programmed into the game, although the battle cannot occur during a normal game. The player must use a GameShark code to start the battle. Professor Oak has a level 66 Tauros, a level 67 Exeggutor, a level 68 Arcanine, a level 69 Blastoise, and a level 70 Gyarados. He has the same team in Pokémon Yellow. When he is defeated, he says: "That can't be!".
The Bug Catcher wants to fight
Before Red and Blue's US release, screenshots were released of a rival battle with the text "The Blue wants to fight". In the final version, "the" is dropped. While this text would work with a typical trainer such as "The Lass" and "The Hiker", it would cause problems with "The Brock" and "The Misty".
Nickname?
A beta item that allows the player to walk through walls in the game is accessible via a GameShark code. The item, which shows up in the bag as "NICKNAME?", is speculated to be a beta object testers used to quickly move forward through the game.
Chief
There is a beta Trainer class omitted from the final version of the Generation I games. It is, however, in the games code. A Chief is mentioned by a Team Rocket Grunt in Celadon City and can be battled through the Old Man glitch. Its sprite is identical to that of Scientists. He can be also battled by cheating with a GameShark or similar device.
Female Character
There was originally plans for a female character to be playable in Red and Green, as the old sketches suggest. Green from Pokémon Special seems to be based on her. The character was included in the remakes of the game.
S.S. Anne truck
There is a truck that appears in the S.S. Anne's port which serves no evident purpose. A player must get HM01 from the captain of the S.S. Anne and then black out in a battle, leaving the ship without it leaving. The player must then advance through the game until they obtain HM03, Surf, from the Safari Zone and return to Vermilion. Enter the dock, and surf to the right to see the truck on the bank. The truck may have originally served a purpose, or may just be a programming joke or signature inserted by one of the staff.
Template:Type2
The Bird-type may have been a beta version of Template:Type2. This can be seen in the final version of the game: Missingno., the infamous beta glitch, is of the Bird-type.
Surfboard
There is an item in the game that enables the user to Surf without using a Pokémon. This may mean that the move Surf was not implemented as an HM or at all originally, or that the HMs did not initially exist. However, the Surfboard was more likely a beta object for testers to advance quickly through the game.
