Unused Text

This is a sub-page of Pokémon Card GB2.

There is still a good amount of debugging text which isn't tied to any of the leftover debug functionalities.

Might have had something to do with the opponent AI, perhaps a way to enable/disable it completely.

Likely tested out the various in-duel coin toss animations.

TEST COIN TOSS

A set of strings, all grouped together, suggesting they were once all part of the same debug menu. This includes specific battle outcomes, the scrapped pause mode, something to do with enemy AI, as well as a basic save/load file option. There is also something about flipping a coin 20 times, which is the maximum number of times a coin may land on "heads", as per the in-game RNG routine.

These two options were likely a standard map viewer, and a character viewer. The latter sounds identical to the debug overworld sprite viewer, though this one has a different name, and is accessed from a menu rather than as a standalone option.

Something about a "V Counter", whose purpose is unclear.

V HOOK COUNT:

A set of options which would have seemingly displayed the ids of various things.

This message has two empty lineskips after the first line, suggesting it was, as the name implies, dummied-out.

ダミー行だよ

DUMMY LINE

A dummy line, separate from the aforementioned dummy line.

ダミー

DUMMY

Some sort of progress indicator, perhaps.

システムの状態

SYSTEM STATUS

Likely tied to a miscellaneous removed debug option. Makoto Yoshida was one of the game's programmers.

YOSHIDA TEST

Found at offset 0800 is a string tied to a long-gone debug menu. It sticks out among the rest of the text, as it is spelled out in English.

YOSHIDA DEBUG MENU

Found at offset 062a is another plain English string. Satoshi Mikami was one of the game's programmers.
