A European localization prototype of Pokémon Gold & Silver, dated December 18, 2000, 13:03:46. This build is available compiled for the French language. This build, considering its final-like labelling, would appear to have been sent to Nintendo Lotcheck for final testing before the release of the French version of Pokémon Gold and Silver. However, as the released version of French Pokémon Gold & Silver is lotcheck version 0.2, and German Gold & Silver version 0.3, it is likely that this build failed lotcheck due to bugs or other issues that contravened Nintendo's software approval process.
