In an interview, Noboru Sugimura stated that Leon was originally supposed to start out in civilian attire. There would've been a scene between him and Marvin at the police station where he'd change into his police uniform.
"It’s true that with Racoon City destroyed, the police wouldn’t be actively on duty, so there’d be no real need for Leon to change into his uniform… but we wanted to show his determination to protect both the city and his principles by having him change into his uniform regardless. It was a scene with a lot of meaning. Unfortunately, due to a problem with the CG it got cut."

Sefton Hill stated on reddit that they were originally going to include an interactive combat battle against Rocksteady employees, in the game's credit. And each time the player got a knockdown, the developer's names and roles in development to appear during the slow-motion. It would've been used for the new game plus, but due to time constraints, they have to remove this feature.

Originally, the region of Johto was based on the entirety of Japan, rather than just the Kansai region, with towns and dungeons based on areas within the country, such as Hokkaido (called North in the Spaceworld 97 demo), Osaka (which was called West and likely became Goldenrod City) and Mt. Fuji (which likely became Mt. Silver). Due to this, Kanto, which was based on the region in Japan of the same name, was compressed into a single map, with Blue as the Gym Leader.
Evolved and pre-evolved forms for Tangela, Qwilfish, Goldeen, Vulpix, Paras, Ditto, Doduo, Meowth, Mr. Mime, Growlithe, Lickitung, an alternate evolution for Weepinbell, Farfetch'd, Pinsir and a Grass type evolution for Eevee, were implemented in the demo featured at Nintendo's Spaceworld 97 show.
