I've been wondering this for a while. Now, R/S/E barley if ever talk about the other regions. Although it does mention Norman is from the Johto region, and if that's so would that mean that in G/S/C he appeared at some point?
I do not know since the third generation really messed up the time stream. Although I do remember a psychic trainer named Norman while playing Crystal but the Japanese names could be different.
Another thing, I think that Steven might have been one of the gym leaders.
There are three different gyms he might have been leader of:
1. Rustboro City: Considering this is where the Devon Corps. Building is and the the first gym is a rock type gym which would work with Steven love of rocks it would make sense although it would be kind of weird to keep running into him after you've already defeated him.
2. Mossdeep City:It would be a good place with his house being in th City and it having a special rock which might interest Steven. Also, if true, this might have been planned before the idea of double battles so they may have decided to knock off Steven as a gym leader to promote double battles.
3. Sootopolis City: This one is a long shoot but they always seem to have the most interesting and most seen trainers as the eighth gym leader and as the champion so it would be a good place for him.
Then there is the Cubone and the Kangaskhan questions. What if Cubone was meant to be a baby Kangaskhan who's mother died but they decided to scrap that idea at the last minute causing a lot of confusing later on in the games? It makes sense if you think about it.
At least that's what I think.
Post stuff that you've found to be interesting. I may post more later.
