Yeah that would’ve been an interesting take on what one of the fossils for Hoenn could’ve ended up being even though I believe that Archeops is much better representation for the species in my opinion.
It looks so head empty with open eyes, at least with closed eyes it looked like it was trying to conjure a thought 🥺 The beta version is the kind of cat where you could pour the food in a bowl while it watches, and it's still meowing for food and can't find any
2:50 If Yakkoko was meant to be the original base form of the Flygon line, this may explain why Vibrava's stats are lower than Trapinch's stats as Trapinch may have been originally considered to be a basic stage pokemon with no evolution at first but kept it's original stats despite it's origin change.
Gen 3's prototype is so close to the finalized game that it's wild, it's fascinating to speculate what could've been had we gotten this as gen 3 games instead. It's as huge a leak as what we saw with Spaceworld Gold version way back in 2018.
I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be any full beta builds from Gen 3 this time around either sadly... I really wanted to see more of the 2002 Pokemon Festa beta that they let people who were present try out Some of the earlier sprites from the leak can be seen in the brief bits of footage we have, like Wynaut
People wanting to comment about those stories instead of the betas: The story structure is the same as old legends. It can be infused that they are *myths* that act similar to old horror stories.
@@dinolover I actually read them. I’m a big type myth nut. These were likely made with two games based on creatures connected to the *literal creator god!* I think the intent is obvious to anyone with any ability to look at a story as a story
Ohhhh I feel like beta Meloetta might even be a nod to "A Cricket in Times Square"! Especially with Unova (and Castelia City specifically) being based on New York!
Honestly, they could probably piece together a pretty full game from all these assets. I think they even secured the official map editor software GF used in the leak Personally, I feel so vindicated that Grovyle is an Archaeopteryx, I knew that thing was cooler than the rest of it's line and like a rad gliding dino creature
I love the cut snail line to pieces. It looks like a convergent Mudkip line, which is weird because I don't even like the Mudkip line (I know it's heretical but it's true), but if the Mudkip line looked like these, then I would absolutely love them. I wonder what type they would be, though. Shelmet is the only Bug-type mollusk Pokemon that I can remember, unless Shuckle loosely counts.
See i have always suspected that Grovyle was the odd one out of the Treeco line. Mainly because the evolution from Grovyle to Sceptile is so vastly different. So one of them (Grovyle) not originally being part of the line makes so much sense. And holy hell, are we finally going to see what was cut from X and Y. This is very exciting.
Game Freak need to use some of these beta pokemon in future games. Like Penpin, and Kodomin, and Toroika. 19:13 the beta Skyla needs to be used to. Her design is FIRE. Just rename her Skylar and you're good.
I love the Giga/Tera Leak for a few reasons. These beta dumps and the anime's character concept sheets. BOTH are just amazing to look it. This artist is going to treasure those sheets FOREVER, as I use the OG designs of all Pokemon whenever I draw them. (Bring back tipped arm Quag, TPC.)
When I heard of the starters for Legends Arceus, I thought why Typhlosion? Samurott and Decidueye I understood as they are warriors, but why Typhlosion? The leaks on Diamond and Pearl’s early Sinnoh lore explained why we got Hisuian Typhlosion, Ursaluna, Wyrdeer, the shiny Ponyta quest, and Mantyke’s evolution method.
so with the Flygon beta line, I think in the beta they were entirely based on dragonflies and might of been an entirely bug/dragon line. Somewhere down along the way during development, they decided to make the line based on more mayflies and replaced the first stage with trapinch. I think this is the case because unlike mayflies which are metamorphic insects and have a larvae stage (antlions) dragonflies aren't metamorphic. They have an aquatic nymph stage with gills. they lose their gills and grow wings during their final molt where they become terrestrial. That's why the beta first stage for the line looks so much like vibrava, as opposed to trapinch in the finalized line being a larval antlion instead.
The fact that Grovyle wasn't originally a starter reminds me of how Wartortle was originally it's own thing as well. They're coincidentally both 2nd stage evolutions... It makes me wonder what Treeko was going to evolve into at this point, since unlike the original Squirtle line, I don't think Treeko's original evolutions are known.
“OOHKAY” lmao starting the video like you know you’ve got your work cut out but are still trying to process this 😂 I have been waiting for you to talk about this 😂
I want my snail. Also, the Elgyem and Beheeyem look pretty interesting -- ghost aliens. Reminds me of the pirate ghosts (or ghost pirates) from South Park. Were they aliens first? Or ghosts who made a conscious decision later to become aliens? Who knows.
Ninfu had to have inspired naganadel and that baby water hippo resembles snom quite a bit and there’s also an ice moth pokemon before it in the beta dex. They may have come back to these design and repurposed them.
I love goomy, but if they took that knight snail beta design direction it would have made goodra stand out more against all the other pseudo dragons. Especially given it's inspiration being Knights fighting snails.
I really enjoyed seeing about the glyph or symbol from the arceus event in heartgold soulsilver and how it relates to legendary from gen 1, 2 and 3. Very fun lore drop
3:15 even the original first stage of evolution for flygon was a potential bug type or even a bug/dragon type We finally see an authentic bug/dragon 3 stage line out of flygon that would have been real!
The Sugimori art for the Beta Blaziken is interesting for a few reasons. It's a third version that isn't "Latiken" or just Blaziken. If seen from the front, the sillouette obviously makes an X Shape. If you change the colors around and just add fire to the wrists, it becomes incredibly like Mega Blaziken. Beta Grumpig seems to have an apple in its mouth too, which is kinda morbid. What I love about Beta Kyurem is that it has plenty of purple in it. Reshiram can shine red, Zekrom can shine blue. Having the third one shine purple would be a no-brainer. Skyla was also apparently considered to be the final Gym Leader at one point, which is interesting enough. It also seems like Brycen was the last addition to the roster of Gym Leaders. Speaking of Beta Unova, I'm really looking forward to someone to tell me if they find out what Challenger's Cave was supposed to have in earlier builds.
4:20 While it would be cool for this alt form. Some also got to remember the reason for Trapinch since its based on an antlion So many that could've worked an yet... Also don't think they might reuse some, if not all, of these since its like someone already knowing what their gift is.
The Beta Serena is giving bootleg Lyra, she just doesn't quite feel distinct from the past trainer girls, and stylish in the 2000s girlz stationery decals kind of way, rather than like, a current 2010s Pinterest fashion icon like the final design (I wanted her outfit so badly as a kid)
Fr though, having bowling pin penguins fits so well together from a design feel standpoint imo, look at how those oreo birds walk! Plus, penpin is fire name xD
@@steviegarcia2889 I had a similar thought! It also kinda looks like it has a saddle or seat on its back, like it was supposed to be ridden somehow, which is interesting!
Sucks cause I’m preferring A LOT of the beta sprites of the mons. Baltoy, Makuhita line, Trapinch alt, Beta Blakizen . I can’t wait for ROM hackers start implementing these sprites into the games
If Trapinch hadn't become the Basic form of Flygon, I'd never have gotten my story about how I gave up seeking out my sand dragon - only to end up owning them by catching the first Pokemon I saw to fill out my party. The story of 'Draco'.
That early Kyurem design looks really cool, and yes it could've been the original Unova dragon Pokemon. Also the concept of a bowling ball and a pin is indeed genius. Maybe now that both of these have been leaked, maybe we will see them in the future. Gen 10 anyone?
@@trollcreativestudios1084 it actually isn’t, there were just developer comments attached to the sprite saying it “looked” like a Delibird evolution, which is still kinda interesting haha
An extinct Pokémon legends game that introduces Pokémon from the leak like Penpin and having a backstory with a similar history to the dodo or Tasmanian tiger!
4:08 I think we would’ve actually gotten our actual Dragon-Bug dragonfly Pokémon if they’d gone with this first stage over Trapinch. I wonder if Yanma being a thing already is why they reconsidered
Look, I'm not saying I'm cursed but it is really weird that the biggest data leak in Pokémon history happened just a couple months after I started getting back into the series for the first time since the early 2000s.
I seriously need to find a non twitter/twitch location to look at them. Im working on a fan game (design stage) and i can actually use beta trapinch/vibrava there as an regional variant evolutionary path
Puchi looks like a beta smergle to me. And it makes me think that smergle is or was supposed to be a dog, especially with its evolution eidoggu The penpin and spheal connection is so crazy. I want penpin as a pokemon now.

The reason Trapinch’s attack is so high is because it’s based on an animal that’s jaw is really strong. A desert ant i think

Wow! There's so many cut/beta Pokemon, you can make a whole fan-game or rom hack out of them!

I love the cut snail line to pieces. It looks like a convergent Mudkip line, which is weird because I don't even like the Mudkip line (I know it's heretical but it's true), but if the Mudkip line looked like these, then I would absolutely love them.
I wonder what type they would be, though. Shelmet is the only Bug-type mollusk Pokemon that I can remember, unless Shuckle loosely counts.
There's a non-zero chance that the cut snail line was reworked into Hisuian Goodra. Which isn't great, but it is better than nothing.
It's quite strange that this leak comes weeks after GF decided to sue the Pallworld team
There was a recent leak where people got access to project data and also data from employees
Oop

The middle stage of this cut snail Pokemon (13:35) look a bit like Swampert, mostly it's limbs.

Spheal going STRIKE on all penguin pins in Antarctica 😆
I love goomy, but if they took that knight snail beta design direction it would have made goodra stand out more against all the other pseudo dragons.
Especially given it's inspiration being Knights fighting snails.
Also if Penpin was real, it probably would have been ice type, meaning Glacia could have had more than just Spheal and Snorrunt line pokemon.
They definitely should've kept Penpin and gived it a three stage evolution.
beta meloeta looks based on a singing cricket
Exactly, I think it's more likely related to Kricketune
Skitty with the eyes wide open at 10:00 was uncanny and adorable
I really enjoyed seeing about the glyph or symbol from the arceus event in heartgold soulsilver and how it relates to legendary from gen 1, 2 and 3. Very fun lore drop
plus 3:00 trapinch fits the metamorphis of the ant lion vs the cut 1st form
Exactly
I actually kinda like the Floppy Ear/ hair on Blaziken more then the final we got
3:15 even the original first stage of evolution for flygon was a potential bug type or even a bug/dragon type
We finally see an authentic bug/dragon 3 stage line out of flygon that would have been real!
