Hilbert and Hilda in PWT?

[Pawlacz]

Sorry if it was posted already. I'm not even sure if it's fake or not. It seems that in B2W2 there are unused PWT quotes for Hilbert and Hilda. As we know, there are also animated sprites for them. Could it mean that they will be unlockable for PWT?

Quotes are here: - Project Pokemon
There are also quotes for all other characters, and they are real. Does it mean Hilbert and Hilda are really programmed in PWT?

Project Pokemon's guys dedicate to research deep game data, so I think it's true.

Do they have the default names "Hilda" and "Hilbert", or are they actually programmed to display the player's previous name from Memory Link?

It looks like they have default names because those names are parts of texts displayed in game. There are two quotes for PWT announcer: "Meet Hilda, the Trainer some claim to be the strongest of all!" and "Meet Hilbert, the Trainer some claim to be the strongest of all!"

I wonder if Game Freak wanted to include them but gave up, or maybe they are saved to be unlockable later.

If that's the case, I doubt they're meant to actually appear. At the very least, they'd make the name a variable so they could take the name the player gave them in B/W from Memory Link. Also, considering that N is in Unova and still looking for the previous protagonist, it wouldn't make much sense for them to be in the region. The quotes are probably just left over from an older plan that got scrapped.

It's still an interesting find, though.

Plus, what team would they have? Both as the protagonist and as a Battle Subway partner, they have a limitless selection.

Honestly, N isn't looking hard enough. My B/W protagonist is simultaneously hanging out in Unity Tower and is running a Salon in Join Avenue.

If I recall, Game Freak showed artwork of Hilda in the PWT during that session where they showed all that other beta artwork of N and the Shadow Triad.

But there was also artwork of Hilda and Hilbert in Pokéwood, which most likely means that it's concept art from the development stage where the games were going to be paired third versions (thus retaining the player characters). This unused text was probably added at a later stage.
