2nd Gen Pokémon Gold/Silver Spaceworld 1997 Demo info

OMG XDDDD!!!!! Chikorita's Orgins....Happa?!
 
A couple of updates. First off, I know that my website is acting up. It's just not displaying the html pages in Safari. If you view the source of the pages, everything is still there. I just republished the entire site & that didn't fix it >_< I'm going to call Apple's MobileMe support on Monday

Second, some of the earliest Pokémon Gold/Silver artwork came from this magazine cover

No scans from the magazine itself exist. That might change soon. I did a search on Google & came up with

It looks like the guy has a whole collection of these magazines. I sent him a message (yay Google Translate >_< ) asking if he actually has that issue & if he could scan it & then email me the scans. Will keep you guys updated

You know I'm very interested in this sort of stuff. The things you will find in Betas is incredible. The original Pokemon Red/Blue was filled with crazy stuff in the beta. Even after production, Pokemon Gold/Silver still had Beta maps, and one of my favorite songs from the Gen II games. I've actually posted it for download on this same forum.

Now I saw a thread posted a long time ago (Sadly, it's now closed), which mildly proved Jirachi was a Beta Pokemon for Gold/Silver. Now although this seems a bit far fetched, take this into consideration; Gastrodon was originally going to be in Gen III, but was moved to Sinnoh. The Jirachi could be obtained through a rediculous cheat of some sort, and it was rock/flying, perhaps to give the conception of a meteor. My guess would be that it would be common at night in mountainous areas. Although many people believe it is fake, crazier things have happened in the Pokemon World. Mew cheat, Pomeg glitch, and the aforementioned Gastrodon.

Anyways hoped that tidbit of info helped! ^_^
 
So theres no BETA rom

I have been researching a LOT
and there were lots of beta maps and ditched graphics of gold and silver
why the all look so cool

but then again if they used those betas then we'd be looking at the ones that are on it ( which would beta) and think they were cool
 
I could hack FireRed or Gold/Silver, and try to recreate this demo based on information, but I'm not very good, so it would take me a while to make that kind of hack.
 
Wowza ! :0 So many changed !

From the map screenies , I think that all these graphics were better in the demo . Dunno why , :/ just looks beter ! :D
