Trivia
Since there is so little information to warrant separate pages for every SpaceWorld pokemon, I thought I would try writing them out as trivia to fit on the pages of existing pokemon.
Chikorita
- Chikorita is named Happa (Japanese: ハッパ') in the 1997 SpaceWorld demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Its name comes from 葉っぱ happa meaning "leaf."
- In the demo, it is likely intended to evolve into Hanamogura instead of Bayleef, who is absent from the game. It is unclear at what level this would occur, as evolution data was wiped for all Pokémon available in the playable demo area.
Bayleef
- In the 1997 SpaceWorld demo version of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Chikorita is likely intended to evolve into Hanamogura instead of Bayleef, who is absent from the game. It is unclear at what level this would occur, as evolution data was wiped for all Pokémon available in the playable demo area.
Meganium
- Meganium is named Hanaryū (Japanese: ハナリュウ) in the 1997 SpaceWorld demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Its name is a combination of 花 hana (flower) and 龍 ryū (dragon).

Hoothoot
- Hoothoot is present in the 1997 SpaceWorld demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver with a slightly altered design, including three dots under its eyes instead of notches and a zigzagging pattern on its lower back.
- In the demo, it is a pure Flying-type instead of Normal/Flying and is likely intended to evolve into Bōbō, a possible early version of Noctowl. It is unclear at what level this would occur, as evolution data was wiped for all Pokémon located in the playable demo area.
Noctowl
- In the 1997 SpaceWorld demo version of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hoothoot is likely intended to evolve into Bōbō, a possible early version of Noctowl. It is unclear at what level this would occur, as evolution data was wiped for all Pokémon located in the playable demo area.
Ledyba
- Ledyba is present in the 1997 SpaceWorld demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver with a green coloration and seven spots on its back instead of five.
- Due to their largely different learnsets, it is unclear whether Ledyba was intended to evolve into Mitsuboshi in the demo or if they were counterparts, as evolution data was wiped for all Pokémon located in the playable demo area.

- Spinarak is named Kokumo (Japanese: コクモ) in the 1997 SpaceWorld demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Its name comes from 子 ko (child) and 蜘蛛 kumo (spider). It evolves into Tsūheddo starting at level 23.
