Unused / Changed text in Gen 2

There is unused text in Route 32.
It seems like fisher trainer's text.
Maybe a battle
will turn things
around for me.

Nothing ever goes
right for me now…

How come the guy
next to me catches
good POKéMON?


Fisher Ralph's encounter text is changed in Crystal version.

(Gold/Silver version)
I'm a good angler,
but an even better
trainer!

(Crystal version)
I'm really good at
both fishing and
POKéMON.

Cool. It makes me wonder why Game Freak would make changes like that.

I know nothing, but are you sure the first group of quoted text is not text from another route or rematch text from Fisherman Ralph?

Unused text was found by Seven.

This is located in the middle of Route 32 events.
And he said he couldn't find this text's pointer from game.

These are other unused text he found.
Have you gone to
SPROUT TOWER?

If you ever visit
VIOLET CITY,

they'll expect you
to train there.

That's basic for
trainers. Go to
SPROUT TOWER!

This is from the guy who blocks Route 32 before beat Violet gym and get the egg.
He doesn't care about the player beat Sprout tower or not in GSC.
In HGSS, he blocked the player if he/she didn't beat Sprout tower.

I'm waiting for
POKéMON that

appear only in the
daytime.

It is from Route 29 guy.


I think they changed Ralph's text because of incorrect translation.
Maybe other text was changed in Crystal version, too.

There are a lot of minor text changes between G/S and Crystal. I havent done an in-depth look (although Ive picked up a fair amount from Yellow: 1 2), but there are various typos, gender fixes (guy kid, etc), and minor rewords (e.g., Schoolboy Alan: Theres a lot you cant learn just by reading books Theres more to learning than just reading books). A more exhaustive search would be welcome.

Speaking of unused GSC texts, some months ago I posted about a text that is seemingly unused in the Lavender Radio Tower:

"Wow! A full rack
of POKéMON CDs and
videos.

This must be the
reference library."

I couldn't find it in the game at all and using a map editor shows no sign data belonging to it. Probably more floors were actually planned and this is a leftover?
