An unused battle system exists on Pokémon Yellow with an index number of 03. It is accessible with the code [[cheating device|GameShark code]] 010359D0 and does not exist in Pokémon Red and Blue. |
|||
⚫ | |||
When this battle system is in action, the player's 'backsprite' will appear but no Pokémon will be sent out. |
|||
Unlike the actual hexadecimal identifier used when Professor Oak attempts to catch a Pikachu at the beginning of the game, the player's name is not temporarily changed to 'PROF.OAK' and neither is his or her in-game sprite. Nintendo also decided that Professor Oak will catch a special Pikachu, therefore Nintendo chose to make all Pokémon encountered through this variable to have Pikachu's cry but in the unused battle system all Pokémon have their default cries. |
|||
The player cannot fight the opponent because the game will display the message "Hurry, get away!" (Japanese: はやく にげるのじゃ!, roughly: ''run away quickly''). |
|||
It could be suggested Nintendo at first planned the player to catch the Pikachu by themselves but technical limitations would make it impossible for the Pikachu to have a special cry when encountered. If the special pikachu was made to occupy a unique index number it would be difficult to restrict it from being traded to Pokémon Red and Blue into a [[Glitch Pokémon|glitch Pokémon]]. |
|||
⚫ | If an item is used the game will automatically select the first one similar to how Professor Oak attempts to catch a Pikachu at the beginning of the game. Pokémon can be switched out in this battle system, however the wild Pokémon will not make a move. If the player selects run they will successfully escape from the battle. |
||
It is possible that this battle system is related to 04; the Professor Oak battle mode, and that the player was meant to capture their Pikachu themselves, but there is no solid evidence about the origin of this battle system. |
