This is a sub-page of Development:Pokémon Red and Blue/Localization.

Worth noting is that a good chunk of the first backup is untranslated, with the remainder of the localized text only added in 2-2-6.TXT. The fifth backup, 2-2-5.TXT, is also missing.

Miscellaneous changes include:

  • The early pre-battle message seen in the games' manual is present here.
  • The message "A mean appeared!" is interesting, being found right before the string used for fished Pokémon. This may be the reason why fished Pokémon are evil in the Spanish versions.
  • Internally, the apostrophe is represented by the backtick, but here the former is accidentally used instead of the latter. Fixed in 2-2-3.TXT.
  • For some reason, "LEAGUE" and "SUBSTITUTE" were decapitalized in 2-2-11.txt. The former was ultimately reverted in 2-2-23.txt, and the latter in 2-2-29.TXT.
  • A handful of control character typos were fixed in 2-2-3.txt and 2-2-7.txt.
  • A handful of messages improperly used a {home@} instead of a {gyo3@}. Fixed in 2-2-10.TXT, 2-2-11.txt, 2-2-15.txt, and 2-2-17.txt.
  • A handful of messages got an unnecessary space trimmed in 2-2-4.TXT, 2-2-8.TXT, and 2-2-29.txt.
