Betamons and early designs from Gens 3-5 have been dropping, what have been your favorite so far?

I don't think there are as many bangers as we had with the Gen 1 and 2 mons, but I do like this mantis shrimp guru one, it's a really fun idea to take its rapid punching speed and turn it into something mystical. I could see this mon being some mix of Bug/Water/Fighting/Psychic, though my preference would be Bug/Fighting with a strong Special focus. And definitely an ability that gives it priority moves.

I love the entire Nincada family, they're one of my favorites in the series. I really love the Nincada design here, not sure if I prefer it to the final or not, but the simplified colorscheme and eyes I think help it. And holy shit Biblically Accurate Shedinja is so fucking good. The arms actually reaching out and the gaping maw add so much to it. We really could've used more genuinely scary Pokemon back in Gen 3.

I wish we could've seen what an early Ninjask looked like.

>Apple chipmunk thing with giant ears that maybe close to disguise it - Applin?
>Ferrocrab - Sandy Shocks? A Crabnemite paradox would have been sick
>Snowmoth - Frosmoth?
>Babpipe/Bassoon line - Exploud?

There are so many little nods and design elements that seem to carry on it to the final games, like the pseudo Scraggy at the bottom, the Ferroseed looking Bonsly Evo, etc.

I'm trying to imagine what floaty bnnuy would evolve into. Maybe something lifeguardy.

>>56571724
I would guess an otter or beaver (treecko and torchic both became fast and lean, so I could see them going with a beaver or something to balance it out, like Swampert does). Shame nothing else around him seems to have survived, the design looks great.

it's crazy how the beta banette sprite is so similar to the RS sprite

the gen3 ones look so weird, the gen 1 and 2 early mons had a cohesive but simple feeling to them, while the gen 4 and 5 ones have a sort of drafting process to them, while the gen 3 ones are like designed, but just fucking weird. they look like ai but not like modern boring ai but like 2021 ai where it just made vague splotches that kinda resembled what you put in it. its very interesting to recognize the ones that eventually became who they are, but how they went from this state to the final is insane, and just lol at that jirachi.

Seems vaguely like Shuppet too, but the gem concept was moved to Sableye, who doesn't have the body gems in the beta art. There's also the boxing ape that reminds me conceptually of Rillaboom, looks like it even has a 'drum' chest

So is the weird Ice foot Pokemon some obscure youkai or something? Are people out there trying to figure out what exactly these designs are trying to be? A few are able to be matched with Pokedex entries and typings that explain them a bit more, but not much.

The anchor Sharpedo could easily be a third stage for it. It's like one of those terrifying massive deepsea sharks. And I think it's thematic for Sharpedo to be something very fast, and then evolve into a massive anchor and become very slow.

297: A Pokemon that lives in warm regions. It often acts as part of a group; when three of them congregate, it tends to get loud. // "Tokonatsu Pokemon"; "Everlasting Summer Pokemon" or "June / July Pokemon" depending on how you want to interpret

It is said that if you give its head petals to someone you love one-sidedly, your love will be granted. If you try to take its petals, it gets violently angry. // "Tokonatsu Pokemon"; "Everlasting Summer Pokemon" or "June / July Pokemon"

The kanji for noisy is three women.

298: It takes a lot of water into its body and sprays it out like a shower while rotating. Convenient during the hot days of summer. // "Shrub Pokemon". Concept is a kanji pun incorporating 灌 (in 灌水, to spray / sprinkle water, especially onto plants, and also contained in the word 灌木 (shrub) that makes up its category name).

298: Drinks 100L in a day. If the water it has stored in its body gets low, its the leaves on both of its hands wither. // "Shrub Pokemon". Specifically noted to have 2 hands here, if you want more imagination-inspiring deep lore about a sprinkler Pokemon.

God this would've fit so well in Gen 3 which has so many mons with relationships with one another, the more I think about it the more upset I get. It explains why the later evos drop the ball thing entirely, there's no point when Spheal's prey is gone.

Highlights for me are the Mantis Shrimp, Gold Primates, and Chickenbird Bowling Pin. I also prefer Gen 3 Scraggy to the final. The rest are really fucking rough.

There is a sheet stating that it is based on gyaru, as Jynx is. Probably because Game Freak's headquarters were close to Shibuya. They probably skipped her due to Jynx controversy + Roselia

These designs are all fucking awful. Saying this is part of some philosophical design process is maximum copium.

>>56577220
Gen 1 released in 1996, gyaru culture (or more accurately specifically the tanning trend) began pretty much exactly that year and didn't become a widespread cultural phenomenon until a few years later so it would be an incredibly tight window and seems incredibly unlikely for them to pick up on and decide to reference this at the time tiny trend that was only beginning just a few months before the games went gold. Even considering that their offices are in a trendy part of Tokyo that seems very unlikely.

The gyaru explanation also doesn't explain why Jynx has the exaggerated giant lips which isn't a part of gyaru culture but is part of blackface. The scrapped design here matches the stereotypical gyaru look way more closely. In reality Jynx was just another Japanese blackface stereotype the same way Mr Popo is, I don't think it was created with racist intentions (Mr Popo wasn't either) but that is what it is.

I think it's supposed to resemble a tornado or hurricane. Not a sand-form Castform, I suspect these "Castform variants" were originally just placeholders for the Weather trio but were reused as variants of the Pokemon Castform. The candy-corn smurf that follows the main legendaries in this order would probably be the Gen 3 mythical, just like Mew follows Mewtwo and Celebi follows Ho-Oh and Lugia. He/she would later be replaced by Jirachi and Deoxys in the final game.

It's probably Lairon it was known as the armor pokemon and was brown.

It digs holes in mines and settles down there.
It loves coal and iron ore. Although usually friendly, it becomes intimidating when it sees people coming to take its coal.

Eats a lot of coal and iron ore.
Because it has a strong territorial consciousness, it is intimidating when it sees people who come to pick up its coal.

Covered in steel armor from head to tail, it can counter any attack.

Because its face is always the same, what it is thinking is completely unknown. Looking at it produces a calming effect.

After it rains, you can see it rubbing and polishing its wet body using a leaf.
Once it has attained a black luster, it seems to be satisfied.
