Did Celadon City have an unused building?

[Torchickens]

The Gameshark codes 01xxB5D3 01xxB1D3 control which 'warp point' a southern exit will take you in Red/Blue.  If you go to Celadon City and set both codes to 08, you will end up here after entering an exit.



Does this imply there might have been an unused building in Celadon City at some point in the game's development, or is this some kind of weird coincidence?

Good catch. It goes to the 5th floor of the department store. That map might have been changed during development.

Code: [Select]

CeladonCityObject: ; 0x18022 (size=189)
        db $f ; border tile

        db $d ; warps
        db $d, $8, $0, CELADON_MART_1
        db $d, $a, $2, CELADON_MART_1
        db $9, $18, $0, CELADON_MANSION_1
        db $3, $18, $2, CELADON_MANSION_1
        db $3, $19, $2, CELADON_MANSION_1
        db $9, $29, $0, CELADON_POKECENTER
        db $1b, $c, $0, CELADON_GYM
        db $13, $1c, $0, GAME_CORNER
        db $13, $27, $0, CELADON_MART_5 ; ←
        db $13, $21, $0, CELADONPRIZE_ROOM
        db $1b, $1f, $0, CELADON_DINER
        db $1b, $23, $0, CELADON_HOUSE
        db $1b, $2b, $0, CELADON_HOTEL

On a related note, Celadon Mart 5F is located away from the other floors in the game's internal ordering. More evidence that this map was changed during development, and only added to the department store at the last minute.

Wow. Interesting to hear it wasn't just a coincidence.

So warp 08h goes to Celadon Department Store 5F. Out of interest do you know of any other maps that have unusual warps?

Is this an unusual wrap?

I recommend looking at Pokanalysis, a Red/Blue map viewer (among other things). It lets you see the characteristics of warps like those.

Thanks for the link. I might check it out later.

I guess it is.
