>The person that leads the Pokemon disassembly project claimed that the code is like half way between Red and Green and Gold and Silver, so for someone to make it themselves from scratch it would take months to get anything close to what we see in the prototype - and only if they have a really strong understanding of the disassembly already>The rom is incredibly consistent with the prerelease media of the game, even the most obscure media>The ROM actually led to the discovery of unused content in the final that was not known about before - in particular a "wave" effect when sending out a Pokemon was found in the prototype and afterwards it was found that the data is still in the final game but goes unused>Since the ROM came out, two of the cut Pokemon - Kotora and Raitora - were found to closely resemble unknown sprites seen very very briefly in a Gameinformer video where the devs look through design documents from Red and Green (and so these Pokemon were likely leftovers from Red and Green's development)Not a "beta" though, it's far to early in the game's development to be a beta. Probably wasn't even a "beta" for the original concept of Gold and Silver. But that's just me being pedantic.
