"The (TRAINER TYPE) wants to fight!"
| Prototype | Final |
|---|---|
| File:PKMN RB U Brock Beta.jpg |  |
There has been a prototype screenshot of the trainer fight with Brock in the official manual, pp. 7 and 25. It shows that the prototype dialogue would say "The TRAINERNAME wants to fight!" instead of "TRAINERNAME wants to fight!". Additionally, in earlier pre-release screenshots promoting the games there is a screenshot of the player encountering Misty; "The MISTY wants to fight."
"(POKéMON) CUT down a bush!"
| Prototype | Final |
|---|---|
| File:PKMN RB U Cut Beta.png |  |
In a screenshot on p. 31 of the official player's guide for Pokémon Red and Blue, "(POKéMON) CUT down a bush!" is used instead of the usual message "(POKéMON) hacked away with CUT!" when using Cut on a bush. This was changed because Cut can also be used to chop down tall grass, and the same text string is used for both purposes.
