Well its really weird to me. Sometimes when i get Clefairy on the slots there are three different faces. One is regular Clefairy, another is Shiny Clefairy, and the third has a regular Clefairy with a face like Ditto (two dots and a curved line for a smile). Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition was released for Gameboy back in 1998. The game was developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. Pokemon Yellow is actually an enhanced version of Pokemon Red and Blue. We have compiled a list of cheat codes for Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition. Retreat Cost: 1. 2 Doubleslap (10x) Flip 2 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads.

Pokémon Platinum is the third version to the 4th generation. It shares a lot of unused content with Diamond and Pearl.

Subpages

Unused Graphics

Animation frames

Giratina

Alternate unused animation frames for Giratina's Altered and Origin forms, respectively. The game uses different sprites for the different animation frames. The unused sprite for its Origin form was actually shown in a pre-release screenshot.

Shaymin

An alternate unused animation frame for Shaymin in its Land Form; however, different sprites are used for the first and second animation frames.

NPCs and Objects

ketsuban

The sprite is a placeholder that occupies twelve slots. The red text reads 'ketsuban', which translates to 'missing number'.

bigman

A different version of the large NPC's sprite. The unused version looks more stretched-out, making the sprite seem fat.

girl1

This sprite set is in the style of FireRed and LeafGreen. The developers actually went for a similar design in early versions of Diamond and Pearl.

man1

Same as above, but this time it depicts a green-haired male NPC.

Rotom

Early gray versions of the Rotom items can be found in the files for overworld sprites. Their filenames are firebox, skybox, icebox, waterbox and grassbox. It is worth noting that these are actually found after the used sprites.

Debug UI

Debug UI graphics stored in debugcb_editd_test.narc.

Unused Roaming Darkrai

In the game's files, there is data for an unused encounter with a roaming Darkrai at Lvl. 40. It is released on the map if one executes script command 0x21C with its parameter set to 0x2. The existence of this battle suggests that Darkrai was originally planned to be caught in the same fashion as its counterpart Cresselia. This data also exists in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl.

Unused Moves

Unused Move Effects

Unused Contest Effect

Effect 0x03 is a unique unused contest effect that intends to increase appeal by two extra points every time the same judge is chosen. However, this function is incomplete and does not seem to work. It also comes with proper text and ingame descriptions.

Unused Wild Held Item Data

Some Pokémon when found in the wild has a chance of holding an item. But several Pokémon can only obtained via evolution or other means, so catching a Pokémon with these items is impossible.

Unused Pokétch Apps

The 'Stopwatch' and 'Alarm Clock' apps for the Pokétch are unused, which was also the case in Diamond and Pearl. They are assumed to have been planned for event distribution, but they were never distributed in any event.

Stopwatch

'The Stopwatch is used for measuring time precisely. How quickly can you zip through the Cycling Road?'

Alarm Clock

'The Alarm Clock can be set to sound every 24 hours. Set the alarm time with the lower button. The top button turns it on.'

App 00

Probably a placeholder. The text reads アプリ００ (App 00).

App 12

Probably a placeholder. The text reads アプリ１２ (App 12).

App 26

Probably a placeholder. The text reads アプリ２６ (App 26).

Menu

Appears to be an early version of a bottom-screen menu. The buttons do nothing when pressed.

Backlight

Toggles the bottom screen's backlight.

Unused Goods

Six unused decorative goods that have not been distributed can be found in the game's files. The Clear and Round ornaments may have been used as version exclusives for Diamond and Pearl.

Lost debug mode

Clefairy Pokemon Shield

More than 500 text strings can be found talking about changing values for unknown debugging features. However, the debug menu code is probably lost.
Some example strings of interest (there are many more):

Archive Files

Two text files leftover by the developers. In the filenames, 'tw' refers to 'tornworld' (the Distortion World), and 'uground' refers to The Underground.

Arceus

The Hall of Origin event from Diamond and Pearl still exists in Platinum. Arceus also still has its ??? form from Diamond and Pearl. Since the only difference visually is a palette swap nothing needed to be updated for it to work with the new animations.

Arceus also has a Shiny palette for each of its 18 forms. Because the only way to obtain it legitimately was through distributions, the Shiny version of Arceus was left unobtainable through normal means. However, with the unused Hall of Origins event, the player is theoretically able to catch Shiny Arceus. Shiny Arceus was later made available as a distribution via serial code in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire with the purchase of tickets to the 18th Pokémon movie.

Oddities

The overworld sprites for the so-called 'Stat Trainers' are listed as seven1 to seven5. This indicates that two more characters were planned to be added, further supported by the fact that the sprites are followed by two placeholders (ketsuban).

Regional Differences

Ace Trainer Deanna bug

In the Japanese version of Platinum, it's possible to get stuck in an endless loop battling Ace Trainer Deanna on Route 225 over and over until the player blacks out. This was fixed in international versions.

GTS Level Display Glitch

In early North American versions of Platinum, the game doesn't display the level range of wanted Pokémon on the GTS.

GTS Notifications

In the Japanese version, players could receive e-mail messages stating when a trade on the GTS was complete. In the North American and European versions, players could only receive notifications through Wii Messaging. This change also applies to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Game Corner

The Veilstone Game Corner games cannot be played in the European and Korean Version in order to comply with PEGI's new rating standards regarding gambling and South Korea's anti-gambling laws. Because of that, almost all references to gambling were removed and rewritten. Note that the Australian version still included the Game Corner, which caused it to receive a PG rating.

New Dialogue

This line of text will shop up once a player approaches a game machine with coins.

If the game machine has no coins, this text will be displayed.

Changed Dialogue

The 'motto' for the Game Corner was changed.

This is what the instructional sign says in the European and American versions.
