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

This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1999 Demo.
This page lists all of the trainers that have different teams in the prototype. The most important differences are:
- Many of the Pokémaniacs' rosters were changed.
- The rival's teams were nerfed in later encounters. His teams are also more similar to the rival's teams in Pokémon Red and Blue.
- Red and Blue's teams were massively buffed in the final.
- Elite Four members Koga and Bruno stick closer to their specialty types in the prototype than in the final version.
