A late English localisation prototype of Pokémon Yellow, compiled on February 22, 1999, at 10:38:04, 1 day before the final build.

This is technically the same build as the final version of the game, but for unknown reasons, on February 23, a day after the compilation of this build, a binary modification was manually applied to this build, which was then used to manufacture the final cartridges for the US version of Pokémon Yellow. Therefore, this is a prototype.

Origin
