>colorful and vibrant design with yellow eyelids and gradient to showcase the technical prowess of the GBA>removes all the yellow, colors it a dull red and greenwhat the fuck was Ken Sugimori thinking
>>58289391looks like a gen 9 pokemon
>>58289418Its a scrapped Gen 3 design actually
>>58289440i know but it looks like the type of design that would make it into gen 9
>>58289391>spider flowerlooks like what the proto ralts line pokedex described
>>58289391I think this was not final. Some of the beta art that leaked was not finalized or were going through revisions. This wynaut chart showcases different ideas they had for different designs, or “passes as they were called.
he is lazy nothing new
>>58289391this is a microcosm of their transition from expressive spritework to washed-out, soulless 3D models
>>58289531>>58289418she is in
>>58289418>>58289566nah this one's sexier than the dolliv linesimpler in design yet more visually interesting (the sprite version at least)
>>58289391Probably not the final art dipshit.
The teraleak is about to turn one year old, how time flies...
>>58289616This was supposed to be the beta milotc?
>>58289628Probably. it has hair red eyes and looks like it's based on a greek beauty creature
i do wonder if gamefreak will ever dip into their old beta designs to reuse them, i actually like a few of them. i really liked beta suicunes designsega has been doing that for the recent sonic games (even though beta shadow looks like shit)
>>58289679Shellos and Gastrodon were meant for gen 3, hence having unused cries in the game, so they bviously do reuse beta content to a degree.
>>58290251The funniest shit is we didn't actually find Gastrodon in the leaks
>>58290275how do so many of these manage to look so interesting but so generic at the same time?
>>58290275It's kind of funny that a lot of these look like the early shitty fakemon from gen 3 romhacks that had to use the same color pallets as the slot they were replacing. A lot of gen 9 mons look like that too.
>>58290275The squid ghost became dusclops, mega sharpedo should be like that getting a tail
>>58289679They’ve been doing it already: Sharpedo, Gastrodon, Beartic, Luxray
>>58290275damn, I like way more beta pelipper than actual pelipper
>>58289616I still don't see how people think this is a mermaid, it looks like a human/dog with a blanket
>>58290529The blanket is supposed to be the fish partImagine someone wearing a mermaid costume and bending their knee, the knee in that sprite is right behind the hands, the feet is on the bottom left below the tail
>>58290275Looks like someone at Game Freak is a huge Darkstalkers fan.
>>58290829Could she be the reason why Ninja trainers exist in RS?
>>58290275>the line beneath Beta Lairon that's literally just "what if FLUDD from Super Mario Sunshine was a Pokemon"
>>58290529Looks like milotic
>>58289679they won't ever do it again because we know of their existence nowthats exactly why they kept the designs vaulted and hidden away "just in case" for the pokemon designers to see they would either use scrapped design ideas for a new pokemon or they will attempt to reinvent the wheel with a particular one that got scrapped and whatever made it, made it in and whatever doesn't goes back in the vault til next time
>>58290275I love the olive bunny next to the squid
>>58290275>beta castform has a sandstorm form>final castform doesn'ti'm upset
>>58290275Whoever decided to push all of the color palettes darker saved the franchise. With the beta colors, the game would look like some fucking Neopets shit.
>>58290275These should not have been cut. Why wouldnt you keep the polar bear in a region that is seriously lacking in Ice type? Same for the squid thing, it probably was supposed to be Ghost type and there weren't a lot of them back then.
>>58290275>>58291345I'm just now noticing this, but "Beta Castform" almost resembles the weird overworld sprites for the Regis in their tombs, well at least the orange and blue forms. The central "dome' surrounded by spheres... Considering we never saw a beta Regi design I still wonder what they were trying to do with those sprites...
>>58291368The squid is a neat design but nothing about it says ghost type. The polar bear is generic and Hoenn is tropical.Beta Manectric sucks, it has no fucking front legs.
>>58289391>replaced by Kirlia as Wally's aceIf they kept this, would it be expanded into a 3-stage line with this as the middle evo, or would it have remained a single stage shitmon like Mawile and Chimecho and the rest in Gen 3?
>>58291385>and Hoenn is tropical.not like this logic has ever been applied to a region before or after
>>58289391The Sugimori art may not have been final, it doesn't look super clean. However it's still probably more final than the sprite.
>>58291584It was a two stage line, evolving from gyarubi/biskyal, so the stats would've at least been decent. I don't really see enough room design-wise for a third member of the line
>>58291385That ain't beta Manectric, that's beta Manectric evo. You can see Manectric right next to it. And I'm assuming the two bottom points of the star work as legs, similar to how Starmie (and soon to be Mega Starmie) use them as legs. You can even see feet based on the way it's shaded
>>58291385The squid reminds me dusclops both based on the same thing
>>58290898I'm sure the "Nin" here is from Nymph, but it seems to match since half of them use Nincada/Ninjask.
Komari/Katakata should've been real.
>>58290275so i see beta shiftry seedot masquerain jirachi? lillep/cradily milotic,breloom,swalot,torchic>>58292793he was replaced by whismur
>>58290275funny shuppet and banntte were unrelated, the shuppet evolution was the yellow thing
>>58291368Beta Manectric evo looks awful. As for the ice type thing I think they should've kept the bowling pin penguin that would've been a counterpart to Spheal, being a bowling ball
>>58290275>peacock pokemon was for gen 3>the closest we got is the gay duck quaqavalgrim
