Let’s discuss the scrapped mons in the teraleak. Honestly I oddly really like this guy. Wished we had more weird mons (that aren’t ugly).

the off the wall dark and edgy designs are crazy, its fun to think there was a moment in time when someone at pokemon was considering something really different

i like this guy, with his ribcage and strange anatomy and mysterious scary lack of face
>>
As a massive Sableye fan, this shit gives me life. So cool to see the design process and a scrapped evo from gen 5.
Im happy with the mega we got, but Gigalith Sableye was peak.
>>
>>56612363
Its possible that the concept for this design was creepy sea creature. It seems all of this were hired to get cooler designs into the mix. Perhaps they were already looking for sea and land creatures for RS, so it doesn't look like repurposed more like they had another take on the dex slot later on.

I do wonder if these edgy ones were really meant to be Pokemon or were actually experimental designs for unknown franchises. It's not rare for new games to develop through others after all

no clue, but this one has actual unown runes on it which makes me think they were pitches for a mature pokemon spinoff with totally original monsters but still in the pokemon franchise
they made a whole new company to make pokemon coloseum, which had a darker tone than the main games and an older protag. theres a universe where coloseum had a totally different cast of crazy edgy monsters, instead of making two games and being melted into a 3ds camera software dev team

it makes me think of a spinoff meant to be released in the 2000's to appeal to the edgier borderline audience, the aesthetic reminds me a lot of atlus games back then, a mix of death note and pokemon
>>
>>56615025
I think it's very obvious what these all are.
They're concept art, concepts specifically designed to be unrestrained from Pokemon conventions, much like all the weird myth concepts that have become the main talking point. It's "Create whatever you want, and if we like the ideas we'll convert it into something that would fit pokemon".
Basically its a way to avoid sticking too close to certain norms or conventions, or getting that weird fakemon / AI generated vibe where something feels like its trying too hard "look like a pokemon", you take a concept that is made without restraint, and then refine that into something that fits within the universe.
>>
>>56616453
This, concept art with the intent to look edgier and cooler so pokemon stopped being the baby franchise that gen2 made it look like.
>>
>>56616453
I also think "kaijuu" was probably a key concept during the early planning stages of gen 3, which is why they were doing concept art of kaijuu-like monsters. It eventually got boiled down into the Groudon/Kyogre stuff.

I think it's also supposed to be "Aidog" as in "love dog." It looks like a St. Bernard, which are avalanche rescue dogs. The bib looks like it has a red cross and the saddle is probably meant to carry people out of disaster areas.

I agree. Would have been on my team instantly.
>>
>>56617236
Both of you are right really. It's ei but still pronounced with the same a sound you'd use for "aid" and "a dog." But Pokemon is full with puns like these really so it doesn't matter too much. They wouldn't use ア for the "aid" sound, "Aid" would be エイド which is indeed エイドッゴ just kinda conjoining the end and beginning of the two words (which Pokemon does VERY often anyway)

The only confusion is trying to be too rigid in Japanese transliteration. Both are correct interpretations. Like グラス can be "Glass" or "Grass" but the context would give you a clue as to what the fuck is being said. In this case, there is no context, but that's usually what GameFreak strives for with names - purposefully ambiguous double meanings.

Yeah, I think the inspirations for "aid-dog" are pretty clear.

Since we're trying to understand the meaning behind these Betamon names, would Monorabi's be called like this because he's just an one-eared rabbit?

Its also what the developer notes says

>>56618881
Toucannon and Flamigo should both join Kujatta in non-existance.

>>56618922
Agreed toucannon could have been better if they integrated beak blast and fucking cannon in its name into its design.

>>56618983
Toucannon looks much better in motion when you can see how its beak gradually heats up.

Are you actually fucking stupid? Revavroom and the instruments look absolutely nothing alike beyond being objectmons made of metal. If anything they were probably the original concept for Exploud.

It's a humming bird based pun, in many languages the humming birds are called colibri/kolibri etc, "book" in Latin is "liber" singular and "libri" plural and in modern Italian it's "libro".

It's that kind of basic clichè idea for a fakemon, deviantart probably has plenty of those from the when fakemons were a popular trend.

Yep, it’s essentially what Amano does for Final Fantasy. He doesn’t conform his art style in a way that it can be used 1:1 as game/promo assets but the art and concepts he puts out are so singularly unique that it gets the creative juices flowing for everyone else to the extent that it’s very valuable to have him around.

Even though there's nothing in this leak to support it (and arguably the Spheal/bowling ball stuff goes against it), I still hold onto the idea that Snorunt and Spheal were reworked from Wolfman and Kotora from the GS beta.

Also, has anyone been able to find a sprite for Torkoal's lost pre-evolution? The dex entry from a later build has it replacing Nosepass in the index list in the final, but a draft of Nosepass appeared much earlier with all these sprites. My guess is that when they added Torkoal (probably reworked from the box turtle), they came up with the prevo afterwards, so they were more willing to drop it entirely to re-add Nosepass in order to balance the typings of available mons. On that same note, the fact that Chimecho appears in the early drafts yet is the very last mon in index order in the final game (and is only found in one area with no trainers using it) means it was cut for something else but added back in at the last minute. Maybe they dropped a two-stage line but then needed a single mon to get back to a self-imposed limit of 200(+2) for the regional dex.

Some of it feels like a stretch. Why isn’t Wobbuffet there either? Beta Wobbuffet resembles Shuppet; the name Kagebozu also was passed from beta Wobb to beta Banette, and then finally to Shuppet in the finished title. Wobbuffet also stole shadow tag from beta Banette.

This is Deoxys, a take on the alien monolith concept.

>>56614845
This is Kyogre, the water beast.

Toucannon's beak is colored like a heat scale, and can gradually change color as it heats up. Its tail is also designed to resemble a cannon's fuse. They did put thought into it being more than just a toucan.

I think it's more a proof of concept. It's got a lot of gen 3 design traits like the eyes, patterns, spikes and lower mouth. Color scheme is similar to Linoone.

Its filename is Esper Rocket in Japanese, therefore this was likely a psychic+flying/steel type. Might actually be a Deoxys or Jirachi concept.

Though I feel they likely decided they wanted 2 mythicals - one "cute" in the vein of Mew and Celebi with a more experimental cool design.

Does someone have more info on Kodomin (leftmost, third row)? It's so cool but I have no idea what it's supposed to be.

Honestly most of them seem like they became pokemon. They just became less SMT and more pokemon proper.

I've seen Cacturne, Metagross, Aggron, Manectric, and because of it being a completely rock monster with no real face climbing around on unown glyphs I wouldn't be surprised if >>56615127 is a very very early Regirock.
>>
>>56616311
being we have evidence over and over of them going back to previous gens and refining concepts and designs that got cut, I wonder if this inspired Xerneas
>>
>>56638036
Honestly the weird Skeletal energy shit going on has me thinking more about Eternatus than Xerneas
>>
>>56638066
That too, but the blue colour scheme layer over a layer of lights really reminds me of Xerneas' horns

TCRF indicates Oolong here became Rayquaza, judging by the naming of its Sugimori art. If so, and taking these as a duo, it really seems to me they were merged together to make Fug

Love that we got official art of these, wonder why they bothered, were they mons they planned to use in the anime like kecleon?

Probably mons far enough in development to warrant art but cut late into development

this could have been early groudon

Does anyone know if Kekleon has differ forms (colors) in the beta, his eReader dex enteries all have different palettes, including purple

There are a few based on literal toys, which makes me think of low hanging fruit merchandise.

This is just Klawf. Similar shapes and colorations.
Klawf even has the magnetic fuzz; it just lost the awkward magnets.
>>
>>56638303
The way pokemon used to be designed would be that they'd get sketched, roughed into sprites, then Sugimori (or someone directly with him) would pick the best ones and make proper artwork of them to refine the design, then the sprite would be changed to match the new artwork. These were probably the ones considered good enough for that Sugimori artwork step, but then got cut afterwards anyway
>>

Speaking of Sugimori's artwork, in which part of ther leak are the Betamon like this one? >>56638303

Thank you very much! Shame that we didn't get anything like this with the scrapped GS mons

Pippa would ironically be enough be completely kino if they kept it and kept moving it into future generations where you could easily change natures/ivs and all that shit since I'm sure half the reason it wasn't in Gen 3 was because that was when the ability, nature, and EV system finally came to be.
Also maybe made it evolve into its own mons that represent strengths in certain stats (HP, Atk, etc.) and give the evolutions moves based off of those
>>
>>56614896
It's painful that we missed out on the the squid, grass rabbit, peacock, and the bookmark bird.
>>
>>56639576
That poor squid likely got cut from three gens in a row.

Can I get a qrd on pippa and wtf it is or it's gimmick is? Haven't had time to comb through the docos yet
>>
>>56641382
people think, based on an unused pokedex entry leaked a while ago, that its gimmick was to evolve into a random pokemon
>>
>>56641382
supposedly it could evolve into any pokemon chosen at random

wasn't it called evolotto?

It was renamed that by March 2002. Its name back in 2001 was Pippa.

It's probably "Evolot". In Japanese, the word "lot" is spelt as its name is. The word "lotto" is spelt a little differently.

>>56641382
It has no ears or mouth and reacts based on light.

Oh man, I just realized Zuruzu is an early Scraggy/Scrafty.
I also really like Togepyon. He looks based.

Poor squid indeed. Fingers crossed we get him in the next generation then.
>>
>>56639596
>>56647574
the squid was likely repurposed into lileep/cradily. tentacles, "eye"-markings on a "pot", etc.

They all look like they came straight up from a Final Fantasy Game.

Why nobody is talking about that they look like Final Fantasy Enemies!?

>>56638284
between this, beta hoppip, and final oddish, seems like someone at gf really liked grass types that were black blobs with light dot eyes with a plant on their head

>>56631988
People make the Primarina comparison a lot, but I think it just got reworked into Milotic, which is also supposed to be mermaid-inspired.
>>
>>56614845
I wonder if this got refined into Deino.
>>
>>56612281
This is actually a scrapped fossilmon. It looks like a mix between anvil sharks (Stethacanthus) and a pliosaur.
>>
>>56627514

Pic? Which artist? If it's Arita, I'll freak.
>>
>>56616661
Doesn't the japanese version of the glitch generate a different missingno image? Probably just a coincidence if true, because a japanese artist would make it look like their version, not an overseas version.
>>
the only scrapped content that would interest me are rejected megas and the whole paradox mons working concepts. I also wonder if ultra beast had some rejected stuff too, to show is the likeness of some of them with some NPC came from something
>>
>>56650711
Same, I'm not sure why people keep thinking its a mermaid. It's got a bell collar and it's back sprite shows it has dog ears
>>
>>56641382
It can evolve into a pokemon at random, and some people think it's tied to the mechanic that influences how Wurmple's evolution works
>>
>>56650187
Her name was Nishida. Pikachu's designer.
>>
>>56645379
Can't be. Because the internal notes in March 2002 say they're unsure whether to even have a third major legend but they probably pushed ahead because the 3rd version fodder was practically there.

Sounds like just a concept image that split off into multiple Pokemon like that magazine cover Cleffa and Hitmontop originate from.

it's the fact that they even felt like they had to round up their teeth at all.

i think it was just scrapped, the only edgymon that was recycled into an actual game was the cacturne one, everything else is just speculation

clutching at straws might be fun for other people, but if yalls are gonna bend over backwards trying to seek patterns yous need to get better at it
>>
>>56655173
crazy that by this time, they had recoloured both jynx and bellosom but one of the staff was still trying to pitch this
