Development:Pokémon Red and Blue/Localization/In-Game Text 4

This is a sub-page of Development:Pokémon Red and Blue/Localization.

Worth noting is that most of the first backup is untranslated, with the remainder of the localized text only added in 2-3-3.TXT.

Miscellaneous changes include:

• Binoculars text originally started with "Looked into the binoculars!". The exclamation mark was later dropped in i_msg2_3.dmg0.
• Internally, the apostrophe is represented by the backtick, but here the former is used instead of the latter. Fixed in 2-3-2.TXT and 2-1-17.txt.
• The message "You looked cute and harmless!" mistakenly uses a {gyo3@} instead of a {home@} to terminate the first string. Finalized in 2-3-5.txt.
• The message "You got me!" got an unnecessary space trimmed. Finalized in 2-3-18.txt.
