#### Goldenrod City Department Store was intended to sell held items

I found this on the Pokémon Gold disassembly when searching for "unused".
The second floor of the Goldenrod City Department Store includes these two unused texts:
GoldenrodDeptStore2FUnusedText1:
; unused
text "We intend to sell"
line "items for #MON"
cont "to hold."
para "This is a free"
line "gift. Have a #-"
cont "MON hold it."
done
GoldenrodDeptStore2FUnusedText2:
; unused
text "Giving #MON"
line "items to hold dur-"
cont "ing battle could "
cont "tip the scales in"
cont "your favor."
done
I'm currently trying to find a way of displaying text with arbitrary code execution. The below codes work, but the last page of the message unfortunately gets cut off. Does anyone know of a better code?
ld a,57
ld hl,5c10
call 3404
ret
ld a,57
ld hl,5c67
call 3404
ret
Edit: Turns out these also appear in Crystal, and the second text was even changed slightly!
We intend to sell
items for POKéMON
to hold.
This is a free
gift. Have a POKé
MON hold it.
By giving POKéMON
items to hold, I
bet trainers will
develop new battle
techniques.

Ooh,interesting! Maybe it was for those status-preventing held items?

That'd be my guess.
