The original Unova gym leaders that are based on the design docs. Needless to say, some aspects had to be cut and the docs aren't fully accurate to the final designs
>>56800035Iris looks so much betterClay actually looks asianburgh is cursed
Are Cress and Chilan supposed to be girls? Otherwise no real losses here other than Burgh looking less gay.
I really enjoy that Clay was Rawhide Kobayashi
>>56800035This Lenora is much better. I don't know why they made a museum director look less like in the picture and more like she just baked some cookies.
>>56800035>the muscle definition>the rich caramel color>the fur collar>the handlebars hairBeta Skyla is colloidal SEXXXOOOOOOOOOO
these designs were awesomme
whoever changed drayden is the unsung hero of gen 5
>>56800115The documents said she was supposed to look motherly and warm. So they gave her an apron.
>>56800035>lenora and brycen actually look coolDo I even need to say it?
>>56800035Clay is hot, but his official art is hotter
>>56800941Lenora looks like that Duolingo mascot before they censored her lol.
>>56800035>shota striaton gym leadersROBBED
>>56800035Lenora and Iris look so much better holy shitwhat the fuck were they thinking
>>56800035Beta Lenora looks way better
>>56800035there's your latinx skyla that got cut.
>>56800035So why were people coping that Elesa was aged up from 15? She looks exactly the same here
>>56800035>Striation trioUnironically better. There's so much added character, like Chili wearing his vest informally and Cress having large bangs that signify his shy demeanor. Also beta Cilan is cute.>LenoraBetter as well. Actually looks like a museum director here, as >>56800115 has stated.>BurghWorse. Not offensively bad or anything but the final design is masterful in portraying a flamboyant artist type. The stubble and odd smile in this design make him look somewhat off-putting.>ElesaPretty much the same as the final but I like how tall she is here. It adds character and makes her somewhat domineering, which ties back into her background as a child star.>ClaySame basic design elements as the final.>SkylaSEXOOOOO aside, this is worse than the final. The hairstyle looks retarded and final Skyla looks more like a pilot and less like a random gussied-up slut.>BrycenNothing noteworthy to discuss here but I fuck with the mask.>IrisUnironically better. The large eyes and the try-hard dragon pose are both adorable. It does a better job at contrasting her innocent demeanor with her battling prowess than the final imo.>DraydenEhhhhh this is too corny for my liking. He looks like a cartoon villain here. He looks like an formal man capable of leading Opelucid in the final, which is needed in order to contrast with Iris's goofy and innocent demeanor.All in all I'd say we were 50% robbed 50% bestowed. I think the most offensive rob here were the Striaton triplets.
>>56800035I am once again happy that Gamefreak dropped these designs the final ones look 11000000000% better. Real Cast looks so much cooler and less generic.
>>56800035For once we weren't robbed
>>56800115>>56800729>>56801434>Lenora had controversy because she looked like Game Freak saw the Mammy archetype and wanted that in their first American based region>Had to emphasize her archeologist background more in the localization as a result>People were somewhat forgiving because it was their first try at an actual black female character (unless you fucking delude yourself into thinking every dark skinned character prior is actually black despite the games taking place in Japanese inspired regions)>Beta Lenora is literally JUST a black woman with no controversial stereotypes shownlol
Lenora went from a 8 to a 1. The old design is so much better
>>56804557>>56804579KEK
>>56800063Wrong. The Iris we got looks so much better.
>>56800035>IrisUnironically worse. Hairstyle is a downgrade from what we got.Not robbed.
>>56800035Bigger version.
>archaeologist>history professor>sexy brown woman with glasses, rolled up sleeves, and flared pantsTurns out, Raifort was Lenora reborn
>>56800035Wait, doesn't this mean they intentionally chose to make Lenora a mammy stereotype then
>>56800035fuck this looks so much betterimagine if bw was an actual pokemon game and not an interactive shounen
>>56800035Lenora actually looks like she's an archaeologist.
Wait did they turn beta Lenora into Raifort? Sure she's all anime'd up in SV but they look close enough.
>>56805410I don't have to imagine anything, yawnfag.
>>56800035Beta Burgh looks like a pre-haki One Piece villain
>>56800035So are the shotas actually smaller than the finished designs or is everyone else just super tall?
>>56800035still would
>>56801229That cope is entirely from her beta sprite making her look shorter because its an unfinished mess; yes it is as retarded as it sounds.Short=Young despite that literally being the opposite of what the same bio said.
>>56800035Shhh don't say that you'll hurt their brains
>>56800035This is literally One Piece.
>>56800115She looks kinda generic
>>56801229A 15 year old is not married to a 40 year old, I regret to inform you. This art literally proved that we can't trust anything in those docs as accurate to the final games, which we never should've anyway
>>56806229But she isn't except in PokeSpe, something well known to use random beta material.And Elesa was 18 in an earlier bio.
>>56806238Exactly, info is constantly changing. So we can't trust anything in these docs except to give us a very very rough ballpark idea of age that they were using at conceptualisation. But it's precisely that, a concept. In the same way that BDSP concept art doesn't represent what they intended the final game to look like.
>>56800035T-They totally kept Skyla the same guys
>>56800035>All the Latina Skyla memes now just look like retarded bandwagoners because the final version isnt even Latina.Kek
>>56800035These looks like gen 9 glad they were redesigned
>>56801229She was in fact aged down as she was made taller.
>>56800035This is the Burgh that FUCKS.Skyla is unfathomably cursed.Bite-sized Iris.
>>56800035Sex with Raifort's hot mom
>>56800035I mean the context of this image should've given away the fact that none of these documents are up to date at all. They were just the initial idea for the character. And anyone who has created something knows ideas change, and rapidly. Sophocles was originally a 34 year old man when they were thinking of characters for Sun and Moon
>>56806578don't bother anon they're all retards who just wanna shitopst
>>56806578>15 year olds don't do white dayI hope you mean OP here.
