A pitch for a Pokémon MMORPG by iQue which would possibly involve the NetCard. It was both for the Game Boy Advance and an unknown platform with a "PC screen" (possibly an actual PC). It would have been based on Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions with a number of differences.

Pokémon Pink

Pokémon Pink was identified when analyzing source code, as a possible fifth variation of Pokémon Red and Green Versions (Blue and Yellow exist. Pokémon Pink would make it five versions). It is also speculated to be linked in with a Japan-exclusive Game Boy Camera banner of Pikachu and Clefairy together.[1]

Rumored

Pocket Monsters RPG

A roleplaying game not to be confused with Pokémon Stadium. It was rumoured to have been developed as the second of one of two games, with the first being like 'an encyclopedia of monsters' and the second as 'more of an RPG'. In Nintendo Power circa 1997-1998, there was also said to be a Pokémon RPG featuring a protagonist known as "Leo"; the Japanese name of Wes in the Stadium-like game with RPG mode for Nintendo GameCube; Pokémon Colosseum.[2][3]

Pokémon Moss

This game was mentioned in unused text for Mobile Trainer; the Mobile System GB setup Game Pak.

Pokémon Moss however, could be a joke; as the kanji 苔 can also be interpreted as "fool".
