Looking through the code in EoSD reveals a third playable character who was scrapped due to time constraints. The character's name is "Rin Satsuki", who would have wielded Flower Sign (Type A) and Wind Sign (Type B) Spell Cards. The character was speculated to be a Kirin or a nurse. The only official artwork of this character that exists is from Comiket 62.

In the game's data, replacing a file called "0000_PLAYER" with another file spawns a clone of the player that follows his movements. It takes on the appearance of Mario, but will shift into a different character when hit (spawning with a Mario cap).

Data exists for a battle situation when the Trainer has no Pokémon, though it isn't actually used when entering a battle with no Pokémon in the final release. In this case, selecting any option other than Run shows the message "Hurry, get away!" This may have been a prototype for the initial battle with the wild Pikachu at the start of the player's adventure, as the player has no Pokémon at that point. It could also have been planned for a possible battle against a wild Spearow with Pikachu unable to battle, making it closer to the events of the anime.

Attachment There were originally going to be more Super Abilities. A Super Spark and Super Cutter were planned, but were cut for two reasons. The Super Spark data is completely overwritten with Ultra Sword files and the Super Cutter was cut due to it being to similar to Ultra Sword. The model and icon for the Super Cutter still remain on the game's disc.

Attachment There is a variety of unused data in the games code. Some of which was featured in later remakes. The unused content includes art assets, text that suggests a World Ranking system was in the works, extra tutorials, and added Chao World features. Unused content present in later versions include the Black Market and unused themes (Shadow, Amy, Omochao, Maria and the Secretary).

After collecting everything in the game, two item slots remain empty - the Magic Cape and Book of Mudora, while coded into the game and fill these slots when hacked into the player's inventory, cannot be obtained normally.

The Magic Cape works as usual (you become invisible and invincible at the cost of magic power), but the Book of Mudora does nothing; as it fills the last slot in the A-button portion of the status screen, you were likely supposed to find the Book and either use it yourself (as in ALTTP) or give it to Zelda.

Within the game is a text file named ECHELON.TXT, calling out the warez group of the same name. The file basically explains how to create a ROM loader using the emulator the game uses. This is particularly perplexing as the game was released the same day Sega announced they were to pull out of the console market. Gary Lake, who left these instructions, was the programmer of the game. He is now the Director of Technology at Capcom.

There are 2 unused abilities. No Ability and Cacophony.
No Ability is presumed to be an error handler, and is used when the game manages to find a Pokémon with an ability of ID set to 00. The term isn't used in the final game because all Pokémon were given abilities.
Cacophony is an ability similar to Soundproof, which isn't assigned any Pokémon in the game. It's assumed it was meant to be the ability for Whismur, Loudred, and Exploud, given their nature for noise-based attacks.
