Figured this deserved it's own thread because it's in regards to ALPHA information.
So, I was doing a search of beta Pokemon's names (Happa, Honooguma , Kurusu, etc) and found a first-hand description of the Pokémon G/S demo from Nintendo Spaceworld 1997 (first public showing of the games)

I used Google & Babblefish Translate for now to get some info out of it. Seems to me that there was a demo of the game & it started after the Oak intro with the player already having some pokemon. Looks like the 3 lost starters were actually programmed into this demo. You fought some battles & the demo ended. Seems a bit like the Ruby/Sapphire Pokemon Festa demo.
Then some kind of demo reel that showed other new pokemon names was showed. It has old (beta) town names/ beta pokemon names & other game features that aren't made entirely clear from the automatic translation. Might try and email the guy to see if he has any pics/videos from it.
Edit:
Found some more info about the demo

These new sites even have the Pokédex numbers for the lost starters
