Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1999 Demo/Pokémon

This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1999 Demo.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

While the Pokédex is starting to resemble the final game's, there are plenty of unusual differences to note. Several Johto Pokémon also use placeholder sprites (or even leftovers from the Spaceworld '97 demo) and/or cries. Please note that for a more accurate comparison of how the sprites evolved throughout the game's initial development, the Final sprites shown on this page are from the game's original Japanese release. A handful of sprites underwent further changes during the localization process prior to the game's international release, full details of which can be seen here.

194	Aipom									エイパム eipamu	Gold sprite features an earlier version of Aipom's design, with a different ear design and a missing tuft of hair. Silver sprite has a totally different pose, and uses Aipom's design from the Spaceworld 1997 demo. Interestingly, the backsprite appears to depict an earlier or alternate version of the early Gold design, as the ears are again differently shaped, and Aipom's tail is shown having five fingers, instead of three like in the final game. Aipom's dex number is 190 in the final game, while Wooper is the one occupying 194.
195	Wooper									マダーム madaamu	Gold sprite has a different design which depict Wooper with a quadrupedal body shape, differently shaped gills, and no markings on its chest. Silver sprite is a duplicate of the Gold one. Uses the name, backsprite, and menu sprite of Madame, the unused Farfetch'd evolution from Spaceworld '97, and also uses its typing, Normal/Flying, and its moveset. Its cry is Remoraid's cry played at a lower pitch. Quagsire occupies this dex spot in the final game, while Wooper was moved to spot 194.
196	Espeon									エーフィ eefi	Gold sprite is almost similar to final, albeit smaller and with a design similar to the one seen in the Spaceworld 1997 demo. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game. Reuses its backsprite from June 1999, albeit with updated shading.
197	Umbreon									ブラッキー burakkii'	Gold sprite matches final. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined and flipped horizontally for the final game. Reuses its backsprite from June 1999, albeit with updated shading. Its cry is totally different.
198	Murkrow									ヤミカラス yamikarasu	Gold sprite is almost identical to final, albeit with missing toes. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game.
199	Slowking									ヤドキング yadokingu	Gold sprite is identical to final. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game. Reuses its backsprite from June 1999.
200	Misdreavus									ノロワラ norowara	Gold sprite is identical to final. Silver sprite has a totally different pose. Uses the name of Norowara, a Ghost type Pokémon which could be found in the Spaceworld '97 build of the game.
201	Unown									アンノーン annoon	The sprites for Unown and all of its alphabetical variants are identical to final.
202	Wobbuffet									ツインズ tsuinzu	Uses the name of Tsuinzu, the unused Girafarig pre-evolution from Spaceworld '97, and the backsprite shows another unused pre-evolution of Girafarig. Its moveset is similar to Girafarig's and it even evolves into it at level 24. Its red palette seems to be a leftover of Tsuinzu's previous design, and it's a Psychic/Normal type. Unfortunately, whatever this iteration was meant to represent is still little more than an outline. Interestingly, the temporary front sprite used matches the outline of Wobbuffet's final backsprite flipped upside down. In the final, Wobbuffet shares the dex spot, Psychic type and a similar concept, and has various design similarities to the various Twins incarnations, suggesting that Tsuinzu was reworked into Wobbuffet.
203	Girafarig									キリンリキ kirinriki	Gold sprite is almost identical to fina. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game.
204	Pineco									クヌギダマ kunugidama	Both front sprites were refined for the final game, and so did the backsprite. It is a Grass type instead of a Bug type, and it does not evolve. Uses the quadruped menu icon instead of the clawed bug icon.
205	Shuckle									ツボツボ tsubotsubo	Has a very differently shaped shell, bearing close resemblance to a vase, as well as featuring a longer neck and thinner tentacles. Shuckle's dex number is 213 in the final game, while Forretress is the one occupying 205.
206	Dunsparce									ノコッチ nokocchi	Both sprites showcase much simpler designs which appear to be closer to the traditional look of the Tsuchinoko, a mythical Japanese snake creature on which Dunsparce is based. Noticeably, the wings and drill shaped tail are absent from these early sprites, as are the blue stripes, which are instead filled by small black spots on either side of its body on the Gold front sprite. The eyes are also much simpler, and the Gold sprite features a blue tongue which is never seen anywhere else.
207	Gligar									グライガー guraigaa	Both sprites match final.
208	Steelix									ハガネール haganeeru	Gold sprite is almost identical to final. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game.
209	Snubbull									ブルー buruu	Both its front sprites have white collars instead of blue. Gold sprite almost matches final, albeit with some minor alterations to the face. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game.

213	Forretress									プラックス purakkusu	Gold sprite only a basic outline has been drawn at this point. Silver sprite is a duplicate of the Gold one. Uses the name and backsprite of of the unused Pinsir evolution from Spaceworld '97. Forretress's dex number is 205 in the final game, while Shuckle is the one occupying 213.
214	Heracross									へラクロス herakurosu	Gold sprite is almost identical to final. Silver sprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game.
215	Sneasel									ニューラ nyuura	Both sprites have totally different sprites and use Sneasel's design from the Spaceworld 1997 demo, albeit with the Gold sprite missing its tail. Reuses its backsprite from the Spaceworld '97 demo. Its cry is Donphan's cry played at a higher pitch.
216	Teddiursa									ヒメグマ himeguma	Gold sprite appears to be an edited version of Honooguma's from the Spaceworld '97 demo. This in addition to the similar Japanese names, suggest that Teddiursa might have been based on Honooguma's design. Silver sprite has a totally different pose. Backsprite is similar to final, but was refined for the final game.
217	Ursaring									リングマ ringuma	Both sprites match final.
218	Magcargo									マグマッグ magumaggu	Both sprites have similar poses, but lack their shell flames, lava bubbles, have smaller, cross-eyed eyes, and a palette which more closely resembles Magcargo's color scheme from future games in the series. Uses Slugma's name as well as its height and weight. Uses the monster menu icon instead of the slime icon. Slugma occupies this dex spot in the final game, while Magcargo was moved to spot 219. Its cry is unfinished.
219	Corsola									みてい8 mitei 8	Gold sprite matches final. Silver is a duplicate of the Gold one, while in the final game Silver has its own unique sprite. Uses the placeholder "Mitei" name. Uses the backsprite and typing of the Mr Mime pre-evolution from Spaceworld '97, and its cry is unfinished. Corsola's dex number is 222 in the final game, while Magcargo is the one occupying 219.
220	Swinub									みてい8 mitei 8	Both sprites match final. Uses the placeholder "Mitei" name. Evolves at level 15, instead of level 33.
221	Piloswine									イノムー inomuu	Both sprites match final.
222	Slugma									みてい10 mitei 10	Gold sprite has differently, more stereotypical "slug eyes" than the final design, in addition to lacking the magma-themed bubbles and "drool" seen in the final sprite. The color palette also bears a closer resemblance to Magcargo's final sprite palette than Slugma's. Silver sprite is a duplicate of the Gold one. Its backsprite is very crude and unrefined, indicating it wasn't quite finished at this point in development. Uses Magcargo's height and weight and uses the "Mitei" placeholder name. It is an Ice/Ground-type. Uses the quadruped menu icon instead of the slime icon. Corsola occupies this dex number in the final game, while Slugma was moved to 218.
223	Remoraid									テッポウオ teppouo	Gold sprite reuses its sprite from the Spaceworld '97 demo. Silver sprite is in a similar pose to the final sprite, but still uses the Spaceworld '97 design.
224	Octillery									オクタン okutan	While Octillery no longer wears a helmet, the design is otherwise similar to that seen in Spaceworld '97. Both sprites have similar poses to their final counterparts. Reuses its backsprite from the Spaceworld 1997 demo, albeit with updated shading.
225	Delibird									ギフト gifuto	Gold sprite is the same as the one from June 1999. Silver sprite is similar to final, though it also features the "June 1999" design. Backsprite is the same as the June 1999 one, albeit with updated shading. Still uses its early name, "Gifuto" ("Gift"), from the Spaceworld '97 demo.
226	Mantine									ハネエイ haneei	Still uses its early name, "Haneei", from the Spaceworld '97 demo. Has a differently shaped "mouth" more in line with that of real-life manta rays. Additional differences between these front sprites and the final sprites can also be spotted in the patterns on its fins and chest, as well as its antennae being further spaced out. Also apparent are the fish on its underside, which appear to be torpedo-like featureless fish rather than the Remoraid seen in the final design, as well as having two as opposed to just one. Moreover, only the proto Goldsprite depict these "Remoraid" with a face. Its cry is shorter, and only repeats once, instead of twice.
227	Skarmory									ヨロイドリ yoroidori	Both sprites match final. Still uses its early name, "Yoroidori", from the Spaceworld '97 demo.
228	Houndour									デビル debiru	Gold sprite matches final. Silver sprite almost matches final, but was refined for the final game. Still uses its early name, "Debiru", from the Spaceworld '97 demo. Backsprite is almost identical to final, but features a spine-like series of bone protrusions, similar to the ones seen in the Spaceworld 1997 backsprite.
229	Houndoom									へルガー herugaa	Gold sprite matches final. Silver sprite almost matches final, but was refined for the final game.
230	Kingdra									キングドラ kingudora	Gold sprite and backsprite are reused from the Spaceworld '97 demo. Silver sprite has a totally different pose, and still uses Kingdra's early design. Uses the snake menu icon instead of the dragon icon.

242	Blissey									ハピナス hapinasu	Both sprites match final.
243	Raikou									ライ rai	Gold sprite is almost identical to final, albeit with Raikou's fangs being red and much longer than they are in the final game.

Silver sprite is a duplicate of the Gold one. Uses the placeholder "Mitei" name. It also has a different species name, being listed as the "Plant Pokémon" instead of the "Time travel Pokémon", it is a Normal type instead of a Psychic/Grass type, and it is one kilogram heavier than in the final game.

Footprint Changes

As it turns out, some of the footprint graphics differ between the ones used in this prototype and the ones used in the final game.

This placeholder graphic can be seen used in the Pokédex entries for Chinchou, Azumarill, Sunkern, Wobbuffet, Corsola, an Celebi. In the final game, all these Pokémon were given their own unique footprint, with exception of Sunkern, as its finalized design lacks feet of any kind.

Tentacool uses a footprint which is shaped like the extremity of its tentacles, while it doesn't have any footprint in the final game (and the rest of the franchise for that matter).

Tentacruel uses a small round footprint which seems a bit too small to represent the extremity of its tentacles. Much like with Tentacool, Tentacruel doesn't have any footprint in the final game (and the rest of the franchise for that matter).

Exeggcute, for some odd reason, uses a medium-sized round footprint despite it not having feet of any kind. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't have any footprint in the final game (and the rest of the franchise for that matter).

Interestingly, the footprint used by Lanturn appears to have been intended for Tsubomitto, as it matches the general shape of its feet. This makes sense as Lanturn was built off Tsubomitto, reusing its name, typing, and back sprite, while Tsubomitto itself was apparently still planned to be included in the final game by June of 1999, making it clear it had received a footprint of its own by then. Meanwhile, in the final game, Lanturn doesn't have a footprint.

Also worth noting is the footprint used by Wooper, which appears to have been intended for Madame, as it matches the general shape of its feet. This makes sense as Wooper was built off Madame, reusing its name, typing, back sprite and menu sprite, while Madame itself was apparently still planned to be included in the final game by June of 1999, making it clear it had received a footprint of its own by then. Interestingly enough, Wooper still uses this exact same footprint in the final game, despite having totally different feet. This oddity/oversight would later be fixed in subsequent games.

Piloswine	Slugma

Interestingly enough, the Spaceworld '99 version of Slugma (known there as "Mitei10") uses a footprint which appears to be a larger version of the one used by Piloswine. This could reinforce the theory that Slugma was built off of a short-lived cut Piloswine evolution, as in this build it also uses the "Quadruped" menu sprite and the Ice/Ground typing, much like Swinub and Piloswine. Further proof could also be found in the Gold CBB Scratchpads, with Slugma's entries containing a larger Piloswine sprite, and Swinub's containing a smaller Piloswine sprite (which could mean the developers were trying to repurpose Piloswine as a middle stage evolution). Meanwhile, in the final game Slugma doesn't have a footprint, and Piloswine would only get an evolution in Generation IV in the form of Mamoswine.

SW'99	Final

Raticate has a slightly different footprint, with it incorrectly showing a four-toed foot instead of a three-toed one.

SW'99	Final

Mew has a slightly different footprint, with it being slightly longer than in the final game.

SW'99	Final

Murkrow has a slightly different footprint, with it showing a three-toed foot instead of a four-toed one. Interestingly, as can be seen in Murkrow's Spaceworld '97 design as well as its Spaceworld '99 Silver sprite, Murkrow was originally intended to only have two front toes instead of three like it does in the final game. The footprint graphic was updated in the final game to reflect the updated foot design.

Pokédex Entry Changes

To do: Document the differences.

Almost all of the dex entries are different in this build of the game:

Pokémon	Demo Entry (Gold)	Demo Entry (Silver)	Final Entry (Gold)	Final Entry (Silver)	Notes
Bulbasaur	JP DEMO GOLD ENTRY	JP DEMO SILVER ENTRY	JP FINAL GOLD ENTRY	JP FINAL SILVER ENTRY	NOTES.
