Revision as of 23:15, 21 July 2021

Two unused Main Menu illustrations can be found in the files of Gates to Infinity. One shows Oshawott, Tepig, Emolga and Dunsparce in Paradise in Companion Mode while the other shows a party consisting of Snivy, Axew, Carracosta and Gothorita opening a chest while inside a dungeon. The events depicted in the latter never happen in the actual game.

  • Gates - Main Menu Treasure art (unused).png

The Request Counter and the Request Board had different designs in pre-release screenshots. The Request Board had a darker shade of brown and the notes were positioned differently. The cloth on the counter used to be purple instead of blue, the arrow behind Template:Character wasn't angled and it didn't have the three blue stripes that it has in the released game. The boxes and jars around Paradise Center, the welcome sign and the arch at the entrance also got a similar redesign.

Many of the files in the message folders are empty, and many of them include or exclusively have the following line

[M:DEBUG]If you see this message, please report[R]it to the developers.


A similar line can be found in message/outline.bin

[M:DEBUG]If this message is displayed,[R]submit a bug report.


At the start of the Japanese version, the player can choose wether the partner is male or female. This choice was removed in the North American and European versions, making the female Pikachu model unused in those versions.

wallpaper_sub01.img is a picture with several vertical bars of various colors with the word "DEBUG" on top.

File:Gates debug media.png

There are two pictures for each possible partner: bg/im01_01a_pika.img, bg/im01_01a_pika_a.img, bg/im01_01b_tsuta.img, bg/im01_01b_tsuta_a.img, bg/im01_01c_poka.img, bg/im01_01c_poka_a.img, bg/im01_01d_miju.img, bg/im01_01d_miju_a.img, bg/im01_01e_kiba.img and bg/im01_01e_kiba_a.img. All of them look the same: four vertical bars of various colors. It has been speculated that these pictures might have been intended to appear as the background picture while selecting the partner.

File:Gates vertical bars.png

Unused icons appear in the game. These include an "unused" kanji icon (File:Unused kanji icon.png) and a "de" (for debug) katakana icon (File:Debug katakana icon.png). These icons are what the game displays [M:UNUSED] and [M:DEBUG] as.

Unused error messages in message/common.bin, likely related to the DLC:

[CN][M:UNUSED]The SD Card is not inserted.[R][R][CN]Could not load music.[R][CN]Music play ended.

[CN][M:UNUSED]The downloadable content is corrupted.[R][R][CN]Could not load music.[R][CN]Music play ended.

Language selection text immediately follows (in the released game the language depends on the system settings and can be changed at any moment)

ENGLISH

FRENCH

GERMAN

ITALIAN

SPANISH

Please choose a language.

There is also a duplicate of an identical error message that is actually used (without the unused kanji icon).

[M:UNUSED][CN]The SD Card was removed.

Something related to StreetPass:

message/menu_quest_cec.bin
[M:UNUSED] Get a StreetPass request first!

[M:UNUSED] You don't have a StreetPass request!

[M:UNUSED] Please set up your StreetPass Box!

[M:UNUSED] You can't try it any more!

[M:UNUSED] Added

[M:UNUSED] Failed

[M:UNUSED] Add this request for StreetPass?

[M:UNUSED] Added to request list

[M:UNUSED] Discarded

[M:UNUSED] Add the StreetPass request to your list?

References to an unused text speed option can be found in message/common.bin:

[M:UNUSED]Text Speed

[M:UNUSED]Slow

[M:UNUSED]Normal

[M:UNUSED]Fast

[M:UNUSED]It changes the text speed.

The placement of the lines suggests this was going to be at the top of the options menu, above the option to change the type of windows being used.
