In the past few hours, an anonymous user on 4chan posted screenshots of a presumed beta version of Pokemon Gold. Said leak displayed screenshots of unused Pokemon, and a beta titlescreen.

At approximately 3am EST, said leaker releases the ROM into the wild, and a team reveals that they were working on translating and bug fixing the aforementioned ROM. Coinciding with the leak, user Sanqui on Twitter releases a WIP spreadsheet containing all the data researched and documented by the team thus far:

So I heard we have a download section again....

Bad idea.

This is a game that was not meant to be released to the public and is owned/trademarked by Nintendo.

Pretty frickin' epic

How can I run this on android or psp? Downloaded both copies and neither are detected

Changing the file extension from .sgb to .gbc worked for me

Exploring the beta maps. Wow. Were these heavily changed? I found Pallet Town and the rest of the maps I do not recognize at all.

Some of the demo sprites look cool. Bayleaf is way different. And the Cyndaquil and Totodile starter line is way different too.
Pichu has no body. And Girafarig is like the cat/dog of Giraffes. Ko-nya looks cool. Raitora and Kyonpan are cool. And the legendary dogs are way different.

meh
let me know when spaceworld 2000 zelda demo or MML3 demo leaks

 

[Alato]

Wow

Girafarig's name makes more sense than ever.

That's pretty cool, wonder what differences are there between this Demo copy and the final build.

A lot actually. Lots of unused Pokemon. Many Pokemon look different.

Towns and Map looks way different.

I don't care much for pokemon, but I do care about preserving beta/debug/alpha content!
This is really neat.

 

[OctolingRift]

So many good Pokemon went unused ):

 

[WiiUBricker]

The unused Pokemon are rather meh looking.

i saw that, i love beta suicune

I looked like Pinser and Qwilfish was going to get evolutions. Pinser would have been a much better pokemon overall if they stuck with it....

How do you get a sgb emulator for android?

Edit:just use ppsspp with masterboy

 

[osaka35]

The stuff dreams are made of. This is great stuff, really great stuff.

 

[RattletraPM]

Simply amazing, especially considering how much Gen II has changed during development.
I'll take a look at it when I have the time - props to the anonymous leaker!

That just some random My Little Pony Character.

Pretty sure people will make tons of fursonas out of this, and of the rest of the unused pokemon too.

Dont forget the r34 (:

Kanto is compressed in one giant map, rather than in separate parts of it like in the final build.
