There's an old man lying down in the middle of a path because he didn't have his morning coffee in the international versions. In the Japanese version, he was actually passed out drunk.

Team Rocket kills a Marowak before the events of the game, and the player must fight her ghost in Pokemon Tower, which is a Pokemon graveyard.

Some of the NPC trainers carry whips, and Team Rocket is frequently seen and described exploiting and abusing Pokemon. There's nothing graphic onscreen, but the game corner selling Pokemon as casino prizes could probably be interpreted as trafficking.

Ekans (snake spelled backwards), and Arbok (kobra=cobra spelled backwards). Both are snake pokemon. Often seen among Team Rocket's favored Pokemon.
Dratini and Dragonair are dragons with serpentine bodies.

There are pokemon moves that some pokemon can learn. Scratch, Fury Cutter, Cut, and Slash. The move Cut is crucial to use on bushes that stand in the way to get to another area or get an item.

A set of false teeth feature in a plot point in the game, they aren't said to be damaged though.
The Safari Zone Warden loses his set of gold dentures and can't speak clearly without them. The player finds the dentures and gives them back to him. He is grateful for this, and rewards the player with HM04 Strength.

The Pokedex entry states that Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother. One part of the story involves the ghost of a murdered Marowak.

Sometimes you can be walking on a route when you're suddenly stopped and hear a ding or song, see an exclamation point. It can be alarming if not expected, but more annoying than jumpscare.

Some of the trainers in Pokemon Tower speak as if they are possessed.
There's also Parasect, whose body and brain have been completely taken over by a parasitic fungus, similar to the effect of Cordyceps on real life insects.

Not on screen, but the captain of the S.S. Anne has gotten very seasick before your arrival, and refuses to depart until he feels better.

Technically, no, but because none of the games until Pokémon Crystal have a gender selection, you’re forced to play as a male character (basically Ash Ketchum), so if you’re not male and you try to make the character a representation of yourself, you’ll get misgendered by the game occasionally.

Jynx resembles a blackface caricature, though its skin was turned purple in all future games, including the remakes.
