A European localization prototype of Pokémon Gold & Silver, dated December 18, 2000, 21:33:46. This build is available compiled for the German 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 German version of Pokémon Gold and Silver. However, as the released version of German Gold & Silver is version 0.3, it is likely that this build failed lotcheck due to bugs or other issues that contravened Nintendo's software approval process.
