Most soundtracks present within the Pokémon games have been applied to at least one map, or other in-game interfaces such as the title and the battling system. However, various songs and sound effects exist in the Pokémon games which are never actually used without an [[game-altering device|external device]].

However, various tunes and sound effects exist in the Pokémon games which are never actually used without an [[game-altering device|external device]].


Several of these tracks have, arguably, been composed to account for music from older games. For example, a remixed version of the title screen music from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire exists in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl; however, it is never used in normal gameplay. Other tracks serve a completely unknown purpose, such as an unused theme from Pokémon Battle Revolution. It is also notable that an off-key version of the original music from routes 206, 207, 208, and 211 accounts for several hundred inaccessible areas entitled [[Mystery Zone]] in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

#An unknown, unused track exists within the coding of Pokémon Yellow. Interestingly, it does not exist within Pokémon Red and Blue, which may suggest itself as part of an additional planned feature. This hypothetical feature however, does not exist within the final game, unlike the Pikachu surfing minigame for example. It has also been suggested that this track may be part of the unused "[[Hurry, get away!]]" battle system, but this is unconfirmed. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFGCRxmqMkA]
#An unknown, unused tune exists within the coding of Pokémon Yellow. Interestingly, it does not exist within Pokémon Red and Blue, which may suggest itself as part of an additional planned feature. This can also be backed up by the fact that it belongs in the '20, 20' soundbank, used for things exclusive to Pokémon Yellow including the printer error theme, the Jessie & James encounter theme, and the Pikachu's Beach music.

As a method to obtain the GS ball to capture Celebi in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, the Poké-Communications Centre (PCC) was built into the final release of the Japanese versions of the games. A Mobile Adapter was sold separately which allowed the player to initialize the event by downloading it on their mobile and transferring it to their Pokémon game. However, since these features were never included in other versions of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, three unused tracks exist in non-Japanese games.

''In Pokémon Crystal'': Three unused tracks exist in non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Crystal, but only one unused track remains in the game when considering all languages.

#A completely unused track exists in Crystal for unknown reasons occupying slot 91 (5B); it is similar to the music played in the Battle Tower or that of a town. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91X0hinbE5o]

''In Pokémon Stadium II'':
#A remixed track of the same unused song mentioned above exists in the English version of Pokémon Stadium II, it was however used in the Japanese version for battles against other players.

An unused set of sound effects also exist within Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire, portraying a robotic feminine voice. These sounds may have been used to test the byte to play audio independently from the actual music itself. Additionally, perhaps Nintendo also intended to create a female character similar to [[bp:The Bard|The Bard]] in Pokémon Emerald, who would also 'sing' a song to the player, based on the words he or she inputs.
