This just doesn't play to me and makes this ROM less interesting than it could be.
While I expected SW99 to be mostly finished, I still expected it to feature minor differences like in the pic related (note the Berry Tree and Nurse sprite), but there's none of this stuff there - everything looks like in final.
Even Kanto looks the same and all late-development decisions such as closing Safari Zone are already there. There is no trace of differences that we know from 1999 materials or the leftover data in the game itself. It just has those betamons, that seem totally out of place in such a supposedly late build.
That's why I'm thinking that this ROM is a "Frankenstein" made of different builds. It all just doesn't add up.
