When I was a kid, I heard stories of new pokemon right before gen 2 came out... stories of pikablu and pikapink, legendary monsters rivaling mew. Later I learned pikablu was just Marill. Now today almost 20 years later I learn pikapink was real and also was just Marill.
Fun fact, you might be wondering where lugia's at, well he was actually made by the director of the "pokemon 2000" movie and was not meant to appear in ANY game, to this day it is the only pokemon (to my knowledge) that was not designed by gamefreak, it's really quite a miracle it made it into the games and the cover legendary no less.
I imagine that some of these designs, like the dark cat, electric tiger, and fire/water seal would have been pretty popular. It’s a shame they got cut.
The electric tigers were definitely repurposed into the Manentric/Luxray lines from later generations. Both have that "electric tiger" aesthetic that GF really wanted to implement into real Pokemon since they were also cut from Gen 1 as well.
Having that sharpedo alternative as a steel type would've been lit as FUCK, especially in gen 2. That middle evolution (Anchorage) dragging the anchor hooked up its ass looks particularly badass, too. It would've been WICKED to have that entire evolution line, especially with the lack of a water/steel type (or half-decent steel types worth having in your party in gen 2 in the first place...) lmaoo
Man, I kind of wish Game Freak kept the scrapped Pre-evolution Pokemons for Meowth, Dudou, Ponyta, Grimer, Growlithe, etc. But the earlier design of Delibird looked more like a Santa Claus looking. Also, I think some of the early designs of the Legendary Beasts should be used as a new pre-evolution Legendary Pokémon of the Legendary Beasts.
2:48 vulpix scrapped pre-evo, mistakenly water type 2:58 tangela scrapped pre-evo and early tangela evo (became tangrowth) 3:30 what even is quilliduff though 4:14 igglybuff 4:24 quagsire 4:34 natu line 4:55 scrapped goldeen pre-evo 5:09 marill 5:21 unused fish line
I don’t know if anyone has commented on this but you mentioned you felt like you’ve seen “Wumpo” before It looks just like one of the beta Pokemon designs from Gold and Silver. There’s an ice type design they had designed that looks almost the same. Or maybe I’m reaching hahaha
@@dundee6402 Damn, saying “Lol no” instead of just saying that you disagree with an OPINION. How mature! Give yourself a pat on the back you actual baby
While I will admit some of these designs and choices aren't to my liking (for instance, I prefer Hitmontop and Elekid as they are now,) and while I'm shocked and disappointed to see certain pokemon missing, like Lugia, well... I can't help myself. lol Some of these are unbelievably awesome to me! Like, I LOVE Anchorage (I'd probably never evolve it into Grotess. Too many bad memories of Huntail,) and I'm surprised to say that I think Magby looked more awesome back then. Also, something tells me I'd STILL have chosen the Water starter for my first play through if Feraligatr was still Aquaria. Go figure. lol All in all, I enjoyed this a lot. Loved going through the early concepts for one of my favorite generations of Pokemon. Thanks! :)
Despite being labelled "Cruz" by some, I think Kurusu's name might be more correct, as it may be a play on "Crusoe" as in Robinson Crusoe. Crusoe was also the name given to the titular being in the 1990 children's novel The Water Horse, which was a sort-of origin story for the famous Loch Ness Monster. All these fit together a bit too nicely with Kurusu's looks and water typing to be coincidental.
Imagine if these were the Pokemon in Gold and Silver. I'm confused why Leafeon is way at the end... Edit: 9:28 I'm confused why Minicorn isn't Fire type...
i rlly wish meowsy, bomseel, sui, the flambear, rinring, tigrette, wolfman, and lefmew lines were in the final game i want to make a fanmade region and i might make them into fakemon for said fanregion
If you bought a Slowpoke's Tail and gave it to Shellder, it would evolve into Turban. GF must have removed it because it seems to estimulate cruelty against Slowpokes.
That Porygon2 design WTF Edit: also it looks like the Qwilfish evolution was scrapped and later became Whiscash in Gen 3 Edit2: Wow those early legendary dog designs were terrible
Gortess would be saved for Gen 3 and become Huntail Ballerine would be saved for Gen 4 and become Mime.Jr Likk would be saved for Gen 4 and become Lickylicky Lefeao would be saved for Gen 4 with a brand new redesign and become Lefeaon Madame would instead become Sirfetch'd in Gen 8 as an alternative Evolution for the Galarian Farfetch'd Numpuff would instead become Overqwil in Gen 8 as an alternative Evolution for Hisuian Qwuilfish
Interesting that the vulpix preevo was water type. Also think tengala's original evo design is pretty cool. The actual tangrowth to me just looks like an uninspired big mess.
Bro that water/steel Sharpedo looking one (the one with an anchor shoved up it's ass and dragging behind it) would've been SO fucking cool. The third evolution and the second would be better switched though, imo (the fish, THEN the eel, THEN the ass-anchor shark instead of having the eel be the final evolution.) The rectal-anchor shark (with steel/water typing) would've been so fucking sick dude. It's dragging an anchor lodged up it's ass but it looks so fucking gnarly (in a good way). Fucking thing is badass
They robbed us from 3 eevees per gen bc they are lazy go figure. By now we should've had cloudeon and toxion but hey give it to us like sylveon one at a time 🤡

Now we have two more pokemon not designed by gamefreak: iirc, Fidough and Dachsbun from Gen 9 were designed by the bayonetta designer.
Now Entei, Raikou and Suicune look like legendary "dogs".
Also, now I understand the Remoraid/Octillery evolution: a gun evolves in a tank xD
Scott V. Fost
That's what I've been trying to tell people about the Remoraid line.
*UNDERRATED AF; fantastic job with the editing!*

Best video on the subject I've seen, because it is very complete. I think it deserves more views

Early sneasel looked so cute!
Looks like gen 5 pre minshao evolution

Paired with that music it kinda spooked me a little
O no shit! D:
Is very scary x{
I can't stop laughing at 5:27 (the sharpedo alternative, but steel instead of dark) dragging around an anchor that's lodged up it's fucking ass

I honestly like the Kurusu line way more than the water starter we got
Lol no these are like Chinese bootlegs of Lapras. I'm glad Chadigatr replaced this forgettable line 😂😎
as a totodile fan i love both
@@dundee6402"forgettable" L take. both lines are very good.
@@dundee6402 Damn, saying “Lol no” instead of just saying that you disagree with an OPINION. How mature! Give yourself a pat on the back you actual baby
11:32 The POKéMON here are so chunky! There should be a pink one with a floral pattern!
I know of a pokemon like that.
I feel like they reused Madame as Sirfetched in the new games.
Actually in the new legends game
If you played Pokémon vega you would know that farfetched had a new evolution

Yeah, I agree-I would DEFINITELY catch an Anchorage.

Man, they really saved the fire starters
better selection of pokemon than the final games
no. Paras and Goldeen pre-evos lololololol
8:15 u can tell these were early designs for purloin and liepard
The early Scizor design is amazing to me, shoulda been a male/female type thing; one bug/steel the other keeping Scyther's type
Imagine if these were the Pokemon in Gold and Silver. I'm confused why Leafeon is way at the end...
Edit: 9:28 I'm confused why Minicorn isn't Fire type...
2:54 and im confused why trifox is water
Thank you for this edit! Rip aqua line
That wearwolf is so cool and cute why did they cut it 😢 it like one of my favourite
I Love The Pokemon At 15:15 and 15:25
i rlly wish meowsy, bomseel, sui, the flambear, rinring, tigrette, wolfman, and lefmew lines were in the final game
i want to make a fanmade region and i might make them into fakemon for said fanregion
remoraid looks like a gun and octillery like a tank, his name makes so much sense now.
3:46
Overqwil before the glow up
W-W-wa-wait.... do you mean Vulpix pre-evolution 2:55 was supposed to be Water type despite its fiery appearance? 😵💫
It was a bug,it awas supposed to be fire but accidentally was made into a water type
Weepingbell branched evolution
3:25 aww
This is great thanks a lot!
Beta noctowl is perfect
That looks like a Shellder eating Slowbro’s tail
it's the thing that bites Slowking's head
If you bought a Slowpoke's Tail and gave it to Shellder, it would evolve into Turban.
GF must have removed it because it seems to estimulate cruelty against Slowpokes.
That Porygon2 design WTF
Edit: also it looks like the Qwilfish evolution was scrapped and later became Whiscash in Gen 3
Edit2: Wow those early legendary dog designs were terrible
Gortess would be saved for Gen 3 and become Huntail
Ballerine would be saved for Gen 4 and become Mime.Jr
Likk would be saved for Gen 4 and become Lickylicky
Lefeao would be saved for Gen 4 with a brand new redesign and become Lefeaon
Madame would instead become Sirfetch'd in Gen 8 as an alternative Evolution for the Galarian Farfetch'd
Numpuff would instead become Overqwil in Gen 8 as an alternative Evolution for Hisuian Qwuilfish
I hope they didn't remove the pre evo
Bruh anchorage 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Early Alomomola but with color changes
Interesting that the vulpix preevo was water type. Also think tengala's original evo design is pretty cool. The actual tangrowth to me just looks like an uninspired big mess.
Tangel & Gelanla>>>> Tangrowth
Umbreon a poison type???
Ok they literally had a Pokémon named Bomseel and didn’t keep it? Are you kiddin me?
And it was fire water too... being the first ever fire water matchup
Bro that water/steel Sharpedo looking one (the one with an anchor shoved up it's ass and dragging behind it) would've been SO fucking cool.
The third evolution and the second would be better switched though, imo (the fish, THEN the eel, THEN the ass-anchor shark instead of having the eel be the final evolution.)

Porygon2 like à cat
6:35 im happy they scrapped this ditto evolution
It looks like a screaming condom
@@Tubba_Chicken lol probably is bc its a breeding slave
where did you get the files for this?
Its at The Cutting Room Floor, go check it out
sigo esperando que haga el video de los metodos de evolucion de galar...
Is there a list of these Pokémon's stats somewhere?
Rai Raikou
En Entei
Sui Suicun
where do you get there names from?
He transoated them firom the demo dude
GALAR
Where’s lugia??
Madame is like à girl
Togepie entier is not in the Good no
I think its pronounced "ma- dame" instead of "mad em"
@@whatdoiputhereman_It's ma'am!_
They robbed us from 3 eevees per gen bc they are lazy go figure.
By now we should've had cloudeon and toxion but hey give it to us like sylveon one at a time 🤡
