I wonder how many pokemon designs are scrapped before each generation.

someday, maybe, they will release a big book with pokemon design work. until then we can largely only wonder.

here is an early sketch of gogoat.

I prefer this one. Simplify the roots and it's perfect.

That's actually really creepy.

Shit like this is really cool to me. I wish they'd show off all their concept art after each generation.

>>28335545
>>28335470
I think if pokemon ever reaches 50 years they'll probably do something massive like that. But we don't know if pokemon ideas are fully scraped or put in a "may use later" category.

If it's the later we may never get an art book. I would like an official lore and timeline book as well.

How could they scrap the perfect pokemon.

>>28335780
it was a video that played alongside the demo for x&y. at some convention i think.

For some context, these two and that Chimorita design were supposed to be the Johto starters and appeared in the original GS demo.

This was supposed to be one of the original Kanto bugs, but it was replaced by Beedrill.

>>28335470
A lot of shit got reworked or used in later pokemon games.

Shellos was supposed to be on RSE for exemple.

>>28335780
>>28335800
Here's the video of it.

The thing that looks like a beta Gogoat is around 4:45.

>>28335946
Oh so this is the bug sprite gen I bugs had in the team window. Also Ledyba/Ledian beta.

Someone post Poliwrath king.

For context, Hydreigon's line was supposed to be Dragon/Steel and based on thanks, but that idea got scrapped before production started. This is a fan speculation of how Deino might have looked like.

>>28335775
This isn't a beta design, it's from Muneo Saito's 2014 lecture on character design for the TokiwaSo project in Kyoto

Doesn't look too bad, the legs look a bit out of place, but I like how they almost look like engines.

Gastly was supposed to just be a giant gas cloud, without the solid ball shape it has now. That's why its Red/Green/Blue sprites look the way they do.

This shit was already out in Japan before the Anime aired here, holy shit, Imagine having this knowledge back in elementary school.

There is a lot of info about the early stages of GS and this demo on the net, but it doesn't really specify who played it.

This entire article on Bulbepidia (yeah, yeah Bulbepidia) about the early stages of GS's
production

http://lostmedia.wikia.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_%26_Silver_1997_Space_World_Demo_(Lost_1997_Demo)
This article also talks about the demo itself, but I'm not sure just how accurate it is.

If Tirtouga and a large part of gen 2 is any evidence, they probably keep scrapped Pokemon for later use.

Yea but split evo's and >>28335623 show that there's not always room for things. There's likely all kinds of different forms for evoltuions and things we'll never see. Designs that got modified for types or locations and so on.

I wonder what the incomplete Mega-Flygon looked like.
