There are discs for all TV channels (including two slightly different versions of Slowpoke's Weather Forecast for some reason), implying that you may have originally had to find a disc for each channel rather than just for Pichu Bros. Part 5 (which is the only disc that has a translated variant). In the European version, all the discs have been replaced with copies of Pichu Bros Part 5.
common_song_book.dat

common_ice_bou.dat
common_ice_bou.dat
A popsicle stick that translates to "miss". In Japan it's common for popsicles to be part of a little lottery game. If you get the right popsicle stick, you could win a small prize, like a free popsicle. Since this one says "miss" it indicates a non-winning stick. Better luck next time.

Unused Scenes
opening_demo_tv3_short.pkc
An unused title screen that takes place in Cobalt Coast. There is no cursor. While this is not used in-game, the Cobalt Coast background is used for the Pokémon Channel Bangumi Kakuchou Pack bonus disc's title screen, which is exclusive to Japan. It can be reinserted into the game with the following code:
PTGZ-9A1Y-NEVX7 5G6Z-2BMJ-8HJZF PGGG-AK35-19DZ9
opening_demo_tv2.pkc
An unused variant of the opening cutscene with Pikachu, Treecko, Torchic, Pichu, and Togepi.
Regional Differences
 | To do: Specify what the e-Reader does. If like most games, removed support is a European version difference. |
Jirachi
The European version has the Jirachi event that was on the Japanese and American Bonus Disc that players got when pre-ordering Pokémon Colosseum. Europe didn't get the chance to get this Bonus Disc, and with it the ability to obtain Celebi (Japan) or Jirachi (US) along with a fix to the Berry Glitch. In this respect, Jirachi was more accessible because the game didn't need to be pre-ordered, and all that needed to be done was to unlock the full showing of "Pichu Bros. in Party Panic".
This event is still only for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, though.
Cry Changes
Like Hey You, Pikachu!, most of the Pokémon voices were changed to match the English dub of the anime.
SD Card
| To do: Add USA AR code. Check if the leftovers are translated to all languages. |
The Japanese version has the ability to save pictures using the GameCube SD card adapter. This can be activated in international versions with the following Action Replay codes.
