Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1997 Demo/Text

This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1997 Demo.

While most of the overworld exists and is relatively easy to access, NPC dialogue and any kind of story content are sadly limited to the first few areas of the game. What text is present, though, reveals quite a different story, complete with unused characters and different character dynamics.

Demo Mode Strings

For strings which only appear in demo mode. This mode is what the people who attended the 1997 edition of Space World could have played.

KEN: Oh! That shiny thing on your wrist... You finally bought a TRAINER GEAR! Sweet! But since it's new and all, you can't do much more than check the time, can you? I'll enable the map for ya later! You're going out anyway, right? Mom's out shopping, so if you were hoping to ask for some spending money, that's too bad! Oh, right, I saw your PC got a new e-mail. At least check that before you leave, huh?

The dialogue of Ken, the Player's brother who is missing entirely in demo mode. Trying to leave without first checking the PC will cause the last string to repeat. The Trainer Gear (トレーナーギア) was renamed to to Pokémon Gear (ポケモンギア) in the final games.

Japanese	Translation

Japanese	Translation
<RIVAL>『よう　ちょっと　おまえに じまん　したいことが あってきたんだよ おれ　あの　ゆうめいなオーキドから メール　もらっちゃった！ え？　おまえにも　きたの？ ちぇっ！　つまんねーの！ ⋯⋯ふん！ じゃあさ　じゃあさー　おまえさー じぶんの　ははおや　のこと いつも　なんて　よんでる？	<RIVAL>: Hey, there's something I've gotta brag to you about!

There we go! Now you can use the map!

Seen after defeating the Rival in Professor Oak's lab.

The dialogue for when Blue walks you to the Lab to meet Professor Oak.

Japanese	Translation
オーキド『そうとも！ わしが　オーキドじゃ！ じじいで　わるかったな！ おまえたち　ふたりは この　オーキドが　よんだのじゃ！ すこし　わしの　はなしを きいては　くれんか？	OAK: Indeed! I am PROF.OAK. You've got quite the mouth on you! It is indeed I who called you here! Won't you listen for a while?

The player is then given a Yes-No choice.

Japanese	Translation
オーキド『そうか⋯⋯ わしに　ひとを　みるめが なかったと　いうことじゃな⋯⋯ いや！ わしの　ひとを　みるめは まちがっては　おらんはず！ な？ わしの　はなしを　きいてくれるな？	OAK: Oh. I might not be as good a judge of character as I thought... No! It can't be! I have an eye for this sorta thing! You'll surely listen, no?

Answering "No" leads to this response from Oak, and selecting "No" again only repeats the sequence.

Japanese

Translation

オーキド『いまから　１ねんまえ わしは　カントーで きみたちの　ような　しょうねんに ポケモンの　けんきゅうの　ため ポケモンと　ずかんを　わたした そして　かれらは じつに　よくやってくれた！ １５０しゅるいの ポケモンを　みつけることに せいこう　したのじゃ！ が　⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ しかし　⋯⋯　⋯⋯ せかいは　ひろいものじゃ そのご　ぜんこく　かくちで あたらしい　ポケモンが　ぞくぞくと みつかっておる！ そこで　わしは　カントーから ここ　サイレントヒルに けんきゅうの　ばしょを　うつした ばしょが　かわれば あたらしい　ポケモンにも であうことが　できるからな ⋯⋯　⋯⋯　⋯⋯　⋯⋯ これからも　どんどんと けんきゅうを　すすめるが わしも　ごらんのとおりの　おいぼれ まごや　じょしゅたちも　おるが それでも　やはり　かずが　たらん！ <PLAYER>！　<RIVAL>！ ポケモンけんきゅうの　ために ちからを　かして　くれんか！

OAK: One year ago, in KANTO, I entrusted two boys much like you with a POKéMON and a POKéDEX each, to assist in my research. In the end, their work was truly astounding! They succeeded in discovering 150 POKéMON species! However... It's a vast world we live in. With that, new POKéMON started being found all over the country! Therefore, I moved from KANTO to here, SILENT HILL, to establish a new laboratory! Because, you see, in a new place, new POKéMON may well be found. ... Research will keep me busy,but as you see, I'm growing old. My grandson and AIDEs help, but they can only do so much... <PLAYER>! <RIVAL>! Please! Help me research POKéMON!

Of note is that Oak only mentions "150 species", likely in hope to keep Mew a relative secret to the fans... even though Mew was distributed to players at Space World '97.

Japanese	Translation
<RIVAL>『<PLAYER>！ なんだか おもしろく　なってきたな！	<RIVAL>: Hey! <PLAYER>! This just got interesting!

Japanese	Translation
オーキド『ふたりとも！ ちょっと　わしに　ついてこい！	OAK: Follow me, you two!

The player and rival are then directed to the back room, where the starter selection happens.

Japanese

Translation

I used to want to be the strongest POKéMON trainer. When I got too arrogant, there was one who showed me humility. Somehow... you remind me of him. Thanks to him, I was able to mend my ways. Since, I started helping my grandpa with his research. ... ... Oh right! Here's your POKéDEX! It automatically records data on POKéMON you've seen or caught! OAK: <PLAYER> and <RIVAL>! Take these with you! <PLAYER> got POKéDEX from OAK!

Japanese	Translation
オーキド『この　せかいの　すべての ポケモンを　きろくした かんぺきな　ずかんを　つくること！ それが　わしの　ゆめ　だった！ しかし　しんしゅの　ポケモンは ぞくぞくと　みつかっている！ わしに　のこされた じかんは　すくない！ そこで　おまえ　たちには わしの　かわりに ゆめを　はたして　ほしいのじゃ！ さあ　ふたりとも さっそく　しゅっぱつ　してくれい！ これは　ポケモンの　れきしに　のこる いだいな　しごとじゃー！	OAK: To make a complete guide on all the POKéMON in the world... That was my dream! But new POKéMON are being found even as we speak. I don't have enough time left in this world... So, I want you two to fulfill my dream for me! Now you two, you better get going! This is a great undertaking in POKéMON history!

Japanese	Translation
<RIVAL>『よっしゃあ！ じいさん！　おれにまかせな！	<RIVAL>: Alright! Leave it to me, old man!

Japanese	Translation

Spoken by Blue after the Starter Pokémon has been selected.

Japanese	Translation
<RIVAL>『おれが　えらんだ ポケモンのほうが　つよそうだぜ！ こっちに　したかったんじゃないの？	<RIVAL>: My POKéMON looks stronger! Sure you didn't want this one?

Spoken by the Rival after the Starter Pokémon has been selected.

Japanese	Translation
<RIVAL>『<PLAYER>！ せっかく　じいさんに ポケモン　もらったんだから ⋯⋯　ちょっと たたかわせて　みようぜ！	<RIVAL>: Hey, <PLAYER>, since we just got these POKéMON and all... Let's try 'em out, with a battle!

DAISY: The young boy who brought you here... That's my little brother. In other words... I'm PROF.OAK's granddaughter! Grandpa's a super researcher! I'm so happy I get to help out. Oh, but grandpa would get full of himself if he heard that, so don't tell him! Grandpa seems to have completely forgotten, so... I guess I'll give this to you! It's the newest model of POKéPACK! <PLAYER> received a POKéPACK! DAISY: This PACK comes with a BALL HOLDER for POKé BALLs, and a TM HOLDER for TMs! I'll throw in six POKé BALLs and a TM as a freebie! <PLAYER>, we can't have your mother worrying, so before you leave town, make sure to say goodbye. I'll be rooting for you!

Only accessible by using debug mode, as trying to enter the gate house normally will have the Rival return you to the title screen.

Japanese	Translation
オールドシティには あの　ゆうめいな ごじゅうのとう　が　あるの いってみたこと　ある？	OLD CITY is famous for its five story tall pagoda. Ever heard of it?

Spoken by the female NPC on the base floor.

Japanese	Translation
このゲートを　ぬけると すぐに　オールドシティ　です	Through this gate lies OLD CITY!

Spoken by the male NPC on the base floor.

Japanese	Translation
ガンテツさんって　しってる？ ガンテツさんに きに　いられるように　なれば トレーナーとして　たいしたもの　よ	Have you heard of a man named KURT? If KURT takes an interest in you, that's a big deal as a trainer.

Spoken by the Lass NPC on the first floor.

Japanese	Translation
あなた　かんこうで　きたの？ なら　ざんねんね オールドシティの ごじゅうのとう　は だれでも　はいれる　って ものじゃないわ	Are you a tourist? If so, too bad... Not just anyone can enter the five-story tower.

Spoken by the little girl NPC on the first floor.

Japanese	Translation
<PLAYER>は ぼうえんきょうを　のぞいた！ むむむ！ たかーい　とう　が　みえる！	<PLAYER> peeked through the telescope! Whoa! A tall, tall tower can be seen!

Seen when interacting with the telescope on the left.

Japanese	Translation
<PLAYER>は ぼうえんきょうを　のぞいた！ むむ？ ながーい　かわ　が　みえる	<PLAYER> peeked through the telescope! Oho? A river stretches off into the distance.

Seen when interacting with the telescope on the right.

Old City

Japanese	Translation
おりゃ！	Hwarg!

Spoken by the old man on the first floor of the Pokémon Center.

Japanese	Translation
つうしん　ケーブル　クラブに ようこそ！ こちらは　ともだちと つうしんケーブルを　つないだ かたがたを　とくべつに！ ごあんない　いたして　おります	Welcome to the Cable Club! We're making preparations. Please wait.

Spoken by both Link Cable Nurses, as well as the one found inside the "Time Machine". Taken straight from Red and Green.

Japanese	Translation
うしろにあるのは タイムマシンです それでは　なかへ　どうぞ <POKéMON>は つれていけません！	The device you see behind me is the TIME MACHINE. Please come on in. <POKéMON> can't come with you!

Spoken by the Nurse by the Time Machine (タイムマシン), which in the final games was renamed to Time Capsule (タイムカプセル). The second string only appears if your party is entirely composed of Generation I Pokémon. The third one, meanwhile, shows up if you have a Generation II Pokémon in your team.

Japanese	Translation
ちょっとまってね！	Just a sec!

Used by the Player NPC in the Link Cable rooms.

Unused Strings

Player's House

Japanese	Translation
しんはつばい　トレーナーギア！ ポケモントレーナーの　ための さいせんたんの　とけい　です じかんが　わかるのは　あたりまえ カセットを　ついかすれば ばしょも　わかる！　 でんわが　かけられる！ とどめは ラジオを　きくことができる！ もうしこみさきは⋯⋯ ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ シルフの　ホームぺージだ	Introducing: the TRAINER GEAR! The cutting edge watch for POKéMON trainers! Of course you can use it to tell the time, but with a certain cartridge, you can even tell where you are on a map! You can also call people! As if that wasn't enough, it even lets you listen to the radio! To order, go to... That's Silph Co.'s homepage.

An ad for the PokéGear that would have logically been displayed on a PC. However, all accessible PCs either display Oak's email, the "POKéMON Journal" homepage, or the standard PC options.

Oak's Lab

Japanese	Translation
セーブするには　ポケモン　レポート こまめに　かくと　いいなり	The SAVE option is on the MENU screen.

Taken straight from Red and Green, but goes completely unused as it is not assigned to any scroll.

Japanese	Translation
ゲームフリーク!	Game Freak!

Seen when interacting with the back wall scroll in the back room. Goes unused in both versions, as the lab is inaccessible in demo mode without the debug menu activated, and in story mode Professor Oak blocks the access to this corner of the room. Interestingly, this line appears to also be some sort of error handler, as interacting with some NPC outside of the demo's boundaries and then entering a new area will cause it to appear on screen.

Japanese	Translation
オーキド『よく　きたな！ ポケモンずかんの ちょうしは　どうかな？ どれ⋯⋯　ちょっと みて　あげようか！	OAK: Good to see you! How is your POKéDEX coming? Here, let me take a look!

Never seen since the Lab is locked up as soon the player exits it the first time.

Japanese	Translation
オーキド『⋯⋯　おっほんッ！ よくやったな　<PLAYER>！ ちょっと わしに　ついて　きなさい！ <RIVAL>は　すまんが そこで　まっていなさい！ <RIVAL>『えー！ なんだよ　ケチー！ オーキド『<RIVAL>は でんせつの　ポケモンが ほしかった　だけじゃないのか？ <RIVAL>『ギクッ！ <RIVAL>『よーし！ ほかの　ポケモンと　たたかわせて もっと　もっと　つよくしよう！ そんじゃ　ばいばい！	OAK: ...Oho! Well done, <PLAYER>! Come with me for just a moment. Sorry, <RIVAL>, but you'll have to wait there. <RIVAL>: Whaaat! C'mon, me too! OAK: <RIVAL>, you were after the legendary POKéMON, weren't you? <RIVAL>: Urk! <RIVAL>: Okay! I'll make my POKéMON fight to toughen it up! <PLAYER>! Old man! See ya later!

An interaction that is never seen at any point of any version.

Trainer Dialogue

The dialogue that would have normally appeared upon defeating a trainer. Is skipped in all modes.

Japanese	Translation
いやあ　かんにんやわあ うそでしょー！ じゃなくて　なに　しはるんよ	My apologies... Impossible! What to do now...

Linked to the Route 2 Kimono Girl. The first string is exclusive to Gold, and the second to Silver.

Linked to the first Bug Catcher. The first string is exclusive to Gold, and the second to Silver.

Linked to the second Bug Catcher. The first string is exclusive to Gold, and the second to Silver.

Japanese	Translation

The unused options from the Field Menu.

Japanese

The unused entries from the Warp Debug Menu.

Japanese	Translation
スタート►しゅるい	Start►Sort

Would have logically been seen in the Pokédex UI. A similar option exists in the final games though not only is a sprite used there to display this feature, but the Select button is the one being used.

Japanese	Translation
とり	BIRD

An unused type strings leftover from Generation I.

Japanese	Translation
パソコンの　どうぐ　は つかえません	Can't use the PC.

An odd string only seen when trying to return to the bag when in the Key Item pocket of the debug "Items" menu.

Japanese	Translation
⋯⋯　が　つながっていなかった ようだ　⋯⋯ ピーッ！ ポケモンを　もっていない ひとは　つかうことが　 できません！	...Looks like you could not connect. Beep! People with no POKéMON can't use this service.

Two unused PC-related strings. The first may have been intended for options not yet implemented, or for ones you would not have had access to at first. The second one actually still remains in the final games, still going unused, as it is displayed when the Player attempts to use the PC while not having any Pokémon, something impossible during normal gameplay. Interestingly, it would have logically been seen in this build of the games had the PCs being functional, as the starting town featured a Pokémon Center.
