Blue & Yellow Source Files
Unused Cry Base
Appears to be an early version of the base eventually used for Spearow and Farfetch'd, though using the parameters used by Pidgey.
Opening Cutscene
| Early | Final |
|---|---|
A portion of the theme was cut due to timing issues. The final Indigo Plateau theme appears to be based on this version of the song.
Healing
| Early | Final |
|---|---|
According to the comments that accompany it, this theme used to be the healing sound at one point in development. It uses the start of the Pallet Town motif.
Gold & Silver Source Files
Key Item Fanfare
An older version of the Key Item fanfare used in Generation II. Known here as Fanfare2.
Trainer Victory
An unused variant of the Trainer victory theme known here as Victory4. Was later rearranged for Stadium 2 as a victory theme, and was used without the opening jingle as the theme for Mt. Moon Square in Generation II.
Digda01
An unused theme, which is known here as Digda01. Given how "Digda" is Diglett's Japanese name, this theme was likely intended for Diglett's Cave.
Credits
An early rendition of the credits theme that is likely to be a simple sketch.
Route 3
| Early | Final |
|---|---|
A different arrangement of the Route 3 theme. Known here as Field6.

An unused theme, which is known here as Kinchou01. The word "Kinchou" (きんちょう) roughly translates to "Nervousness" or "Tension", so it's likely this was to play during an event in particular.
