#At a certain point in the development of {{RB}}, when the player encountered a trainer an additional "The" would be used in the phrase "(Trainer) wants to fight!". For example, in these versions the game might say "The YOUNGSTER wants to fight!" However, if the player was to encounter a trainer whose class is just a name such as "Brock" the game would instead say "The BROCK wants to fight!" A picture of a player encountering Brock with these words still remains in instruction booklets for both games. Before this, screenshots were released by Nintendo of the player encountering Blue, where the game would display the words "The BLUE wants to fight!" |

The unused sentence "You managed to come out here? That takes focus! For someone like you, this might be perfect." associated with the inaccessible [[Jubilife Condominiums floors 3 and 4#Fourth floor|fourth floor]] of the Jubilife Condominiums building uses two spaces between the words 'this' and 'might'. |

=====Pokèball fails text oversight===== |

In the Italian version of Pokèmon Yellow the original English sentence: "Shoot! It was so close too!" was translated as "Colpisci! Era così vicino!", making the sentence meaningless. Although the word "Colpisci" can be accepted as a valid translation of the word "Shoot" or "Hit" it can't be used as an exclamation. |

In English versions of {{RBY}}, upon defeat, a Jr. Trainer♂ will say "I thought not" (original Japanese text: ……やっぱり だめだ). A more accurate translation is "......Of course, I'm no good"), however the Jr. Trainer♂'s text in the English version may mean 'I thought I wouldn't win' without overtly revealing his context. The translation may be confusing to some players because before battle the Jr. Trainer |
In English versions of {{RBY}}, upon defeat, a Jr. Trainer♂ will say "I thought not" (original Japanese text: ……やっぱり だめだ). A more accurate translation is "......Of course, I'm no good"), however the Jr. Trainer♂'s text in the English version may mean 'I thought I wouldn't win' without overtly revealing his context. The translation may be confusing to some players because before battle the Jr. Trainer says "I saw your feat from the grass!", so they could wrongly believe the Jr. Trainer♂ means 'I thought I didn't see your feat'. |

The choice of the word "feat" in the above phrase is itself a classic point of debate due to the more common, lookalike, and soundalike word "feet" also being suitable in the context of the initial encounter with this trainer in his normal stationary location. |
