This article has a talk page!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#
Strings exclusive to demo mode, which is how this build was presented to attendees of Spaceworld '97.
Opening Text#

Translation |

Oak's Lab#
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
A string shared with both Aides in demo mode. Normally goes unseen unless the player uses debug mode to access Oak's Lab.
Story Mode Strings#
For strings which only appear in story mode. This is how the game was likely intended to play out outside of the realm of the demo.
Opening Lecture#
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
Professor Oak's intro dialogue seen in story mode. Worth noting is that the Player and Rival namesets are swapped between versions, with both of them being called Gold and Silver respectively in Gold, and vice-versa in Silver.
Japanese |
Translation |

|
|
Seen when choosing to give a character an original name.
Player's House#
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|

Seen when interacting with the PC. A Yes/No choice pops up at the end.
Japanese |
Translation |

Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
The player is then given a Yes-No choice.
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
Answering "No" leads to this response from Oak, and selecting "No" again only repeats the sequence.
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
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 |
|---|---|
|
|
Seen after catching a Pokémon with a full party, with the first message being displayed if you still have space left in your current PC box, and the second one being shown if you don't. The first string is actually a leftover from Generation I, where it was displayed prior to meeting Bill at his villa on Route 25. Afterwards, both this message and the corresponding PC prompt would change to "BILL's PC". It's then likely Gold and Silver were meant to work the same way, with the string would update after meeting Bill in Old City. The final games, however, would end up only using the "BILL's PC" version, even at the very start of the game, and while the "someone's PC" one remains, it goes completely unused.
Indoors#

Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
Seen when interacting with bookshelves.
Japanese |
Translation |

Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|

Seen when interacting with the sign closest to the forest entrance. Interestingly, both this area and the starting town go by "Silent Hill", although the former uses "しずかなおか" and the latter goes by "サイレントヒル". The debug menu simply refers to the town as Silent.

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 |
|---|---|
|
|
Used by the Player NPC in the Link Cable rooms.
Unused Strings#
Player's House#
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
An ad for the PokéGear (or, as it's called here, the Trainer Gear) that would have logically been displayed on a PC. In the source file, HERO0~00.MAP, the tag that displays this message is labelled as "bros pc", so it appears that the player's brother had his own PC in the room at one point. Cards, such as the Map Card, were originally called cartridges.
Oak's Lab#
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
Taken straight from Red and Green, but goes completely unused as it is not assigned to any scroll.
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
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. Interestingly, that line still remains in the final games, just as unused as it does here.
Japanese |
Translation |
|---|---|
|
|
An interaction that is never seen at any point of any version, and the Lab is locked up as soon the player exits it the first time.
Trainer Dialogue#
The dialogue that would have normally appeared upon defeating a trainer. Is skipped in all modes.

The breeding system is still (ironically enough) very early in its infancy, and while things like Pokémon eggs are not even remotely implemented, there does exist quite a handful of text related to a primitive Daycare system.

The initial starting dialogue. The owner of the Daycare was originally described as a "こずくりやさん", which translates to "Breeder"... although it is an admittedly literal way of putting their occupation. Meanwhile, only by Generation III would the Trainer class "ブリーダー" (Breeder) be properly introduced. As for the final games, the introduction text instead labels the character as the "DAY-CARE MAN/LADY", and the options are instead a Yes/No choice regarding whether or not the Player wants to have a Pokémon taken in.

It appears that the Daycare originally worked the same as it went on to do in future generations, with only one Daycare owner, who took care of both Pokémon. In comparison, the final versions of Gold and Silver have a daycare couple, where the husband and wife each look after one Pokémon. There is also no option to "check on them" (likely see how many levels the Pokémon had gained), only the option to get them back, and that for a fee. The third string was likely intended for trying to withdraw a Pokémon where you hadn't deposited one prior, and the fourth string was thus logically for actually withdrawing a Pokémon.

A rather... cheeky line, which likely would have being shown after depositing two Pokémon.

The original compatibility messages regarding the two Pokémon you deposited, with them corresponding to "Medium Compatible", "Low Compatible", and "Incompatible" (can't breed). These lines' wording is once again closer to their Generation III equivalents, where the Daycare owner remarks that your Pokémon seem to "get along very well" (High Compatible), "get along" (Medium Compatible), "not to like each other much" (Low Compatible), and "prefer to ignore each other" (Incompatible). Meanwhile, in comparison, Generation II works quite a differently.
Namely, you get insight as to the Pokémon's compatibility by talking with the Pokémon themselves, with the first half of the message stating how it's "

The final two Daycare strings, which each correspond to "no egg laid" and "egg laid". The final games have no equivalent for the "no egg laid" string, and the other string was padded out a bit, explaining how the couple was shocked to find an egg one morning, and how they have no idea where it came from, which fits with the final games' idea of Pokémon eggs seemingly being a very recent discovery.

A miscellaneous line which relates to the PC being full. Goes unused as another similar string is used instead. It's interestingly grouped alongside the Daycare strings, though it doesn't appear to fit anywhere there, meaning that its placement was perhaps accidental.

An unused line leftover from Red and Green, where it was used in the Pokémon Tower after trying to catch any of the Ghosts roaming the place. This line still remains in the final games, albeit going unused as no such scenario exists there either.

Another unused Red and Green leftover, this time the message which popped up when a wild Pokémon broke free from a Poké Ball after zero shakes. The final games, as well as this build, use a different message entirely for this string, though for some reason it was kept around, still ending unused even in the final releases.

A carryover from Generation I, in that this line actually gets used in the final games. This build, however, only uses the "someone's PC." version of this line, leaving this one unused.

Another leftover from Generation I. This build, and the final games for that matter, instead use a slightly different string, which mentions the number of item tossed.

The message shown after trying to use Oak's Parcel in Generation I. This item doesn't exist in the final games, or even this build.

Two leftovers, once again. The first appeared when trying to ride a bike indoors, and the second when trying to surf on land. Newer, different messages are used in their place.

A line leftover from a now deleted map, all other data related to that map besides a text pointer to this string and the string itself were dummied out.

Three unused PC-related strings, which still remain in the final games, still as unused as it does here. These lines are spoken with a strong Osaka accent typical of Bill, which is fitting as he's the one who programmed the PC system in-universe.

Two extra 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.
