This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Title Screen#

• The game displays a unique title screen that is very different from the final version:

• The title theme is not complete, using the GBA version towards the end.
• Both of the prototype title screen images are taken from the Top Screen, as the Touch Screen remains black.

Early Game Differences#

• The truck cutscene is pretty unfinished
• The dialogue for meeting Brendan (or Calem in this build) repeats eight times, each time with a different animation or angle. Most likely, Game Freak was deciding on a final position and animation
• Prof. Birch's lab is extremely unfinished, having no finished models.
• The whole game had a massive difficulty decrease between this build and the final: a lot of Pokémon are higher-levelled in this build, especially Trainers' Pokémon. Wild Pokémon seem to be at a higher level as well.

General Differences#

• The ability to soar has not been implemented.
• The trainer card and badges are from X and Y.
• Alpha Sapphire is built off of X.
• A lot of NPCs do not have models, so they display a man with a red jacket instead.
• The level 999 mega shiny Bulbasaur (missingno) doesn't exist in this build, causing a black screen instead.
• Wally has no animations, so he T-poses instead.
• Both you and your rival are always called 4936, and when you receive your starter, it displays "4936 received [player name]".
• There is an early version of Pokémon Contests in the debug menu. They never end and take place in the online battle arena.
• Only a few locations in the game have finished textures.
