>All of Gen 3 and 4 leaked>No mention in the documents, no betamon, despite being introduced to the public DURING Gen 4's development and before DP's releaseDid Gamefreak not create Lucario? Did he drop out of the sky or something?
>>56650361He got designed for a fucking movie first obviously retard. His design was made for something else, heck he was probably designed by the anime branch. Plus there's a beta Riolu.
I think there was some concept art for the movie
>>56650361She came to Game Freak in a dream
>>56650361She was created for a pmd statue
He did in fact drop from the sky. He was created by God to be the perfect furrybait edgelord mon
>>56650383That's what I'm trying to figure out, if the anime brach or gamefreak created Lucario, you know, the second mascot of the franchise. So which came first? Lucario or Beta Riolu?
>>56650432Mickey Mouse looking mother fucker
>>56650432>that rioluholy jej
>>56650432Lucario probably, I guarantee he was designed by the anime staff.
>>56650432He goofy
>>56650361Damn She Thick
>>56650361The leak contained anime production documents too. There was a couple of lucario design schematics within, it 100% was not made by game freak
>>56650685Which exact files are you referring to? If you mean the settei like pic related, those were included for nearly every Pokémon up to Gen V.
>>56650734Think it is the settei yeah, didn't pay it much attention, one was detailing how the pants work i remember.
>>56650685He's the star of a movie, not just any random episode mon, so hard to said if it's because the anime staff made him or just because they needed extra info/details to make him look good in smooth animation.
>>56651007What other mons were created by the anime, I wonder?
>>56651007Same folder as the "pants" reference has more movie-specific settei of other movie stars like Celebi, I think it's just references and doesn't say anything about who designed it.
>>56651957Was Celebi not created by Gamefreak? I mean it's completely inaccessible in-game in Gen 2, so maybe?
>>56651966Celebi was 100% designed by GameFreak, one of the cases where the designer is known and such.
>>56650432We do have a beta Lucario spite from a different leak, but it's just a less polished rendition and dates from March 2006, long after >>56650734. (Nov 2004)My best guess is that GF finalized the design before DP development even began and never went through a beta sprite phase, there was an unusually long gap between Gen III and IV after all.
