Unused music: Difference between revisions

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.

 

 

''In Pokémon Yellow'':

#Lavender Town - In Version 1.0. of Pokémon Red and Green; the first version to be sold to the public, a slightly different version of the Lavender Town track exists within the game. This version of the track however, was later changed in later editions of the games. Compared to the later versions, this version of the track uses some notes which tend to be only heard by younger players, as they are of a high frequency and consequently of a higher pitch. For this reason, the track may have been removed to prevent players from the rare occurence of any mild side-effects associated with the notes, such as headaches and nausea.

''In Pokémon Gold and Silver'': An unused jingle, of identifier 5A (90) exists within the coding of Pokémon Gold and Silver in the byte which manages what music is played when new map data is loaded. Players may use the GameShark code, 015AA9C1.

Several unused tracks exist in Generation III which seem to be remixes of old songs from Generation II, such as Team Rocket's Theme. However, other tracks such as an unused track similar to Littleroot Town may have been used as test music.

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.
