- Scrapped Beta Pokemon are some of the most fascinating parts of the franchise. However, the ones that Gamefreak reuse for new games intrigue me the most. So here's every lost/cut/scrapped pokemon design that was brought back in some way for later generations. - as of now.
Spaceworld demo, korean build, pokemon art, gold & silver, red & blue, gen 1, gen 2,

That beta tyranitar looks like a substitute
I think so too, substitute's design must've been inspired by that sprite
Makes sense that Solgaleo got a scrapped design in gen 2, it got foreshadowed in the 3rd Pokemon movie
That’s a stretch. But I will say it was a coincidence
@Keng04T The book Mollies dad reads also foreshadows Arceus with a God like interpretation surrounded by Unowns. Gamefreak plans content ahead just not the quality of their games
@@startheangel9760THAT’S NOT FORESHADOWING
@@DigiRangerScott what do u mean
I hate to be a downer but the movie teams at this time were actually kinda making stuff on their own. For example, Lugia was designed by the movie team for the 2000 movie, and the game studio liked it so much, they added it into gold/silver. (Ho-oh was going to be the primary legendary)
You forgot that there was a beta gen 2 design of a stork carrying a baby in a bag, maybe that would've been revisited in Bombirdier
From what I checked James Turner didn't design Sirfetch'd. But he did design the Galarian Zigzagoon line, the Centiscorch and also Golurk and Golem, etc.
Good to know! I like the other ones.
While true, he was the art director of the Sword Shield games so he did have the decision to go forward with a design or redo it, mind to say I think he did an amazing job with the art direction of the games so no complains in that regard, at least in the human side they team brought spectacular characters designs and in the Pokemon side there is a lot of unique ideas like Sinistea and Polteageist which were indeed designed by James himself
LMAO, aired on april fools.
Serious note, I'm over here still coping for Gorochu to be added, & it's nickname is called The Mad Rat Of Kanto.
Really puts the "goro" in gorochu
Missed opportunity, Gorochu could have been introduced as a paradox Pokémon that had a rivalry with Koraidon in the past. And it's counterpart could be a serval or lynx sized robotic Eevee which can be paired with miraidon. I know it's hot take because It's like having a legendary version of Pikachu and Eevee. But that could be setup as two to be the ethnic legendaries of Paldea while koraidon and miraidon could be categorized with Mewtwo as a modern age legendary to a region that is an anomaly.
I’m waiting for the cut“Hitmonryu” to be added
The dragon of Pokémon
guess need a romhack.
My theory is they actually revisit/remaking more beta pokemon in Gen 9, Paldea.
Ee never saw the beta design leak because now they are very careful not to leak a beta design anymore.
The reason is Paldean pokemons are wierd, some of them are very detailed, some of them are very simple. It's like combining different pokemon gen.
Makes sense tbh, sooner or later, if you got over a thousand official Pokémon and probably thousands of scrapped designs/concepts, you're eventually gonna have to revisit your old conceps
Lickilicky's tongue may be shorter than Lickitung's, but remember that some of Lickilicky's Pokedex entries say it can extend its tongue to many times its normal length (The record is 82 feet, according to its Ultra Sun Dex entry). Lickitung, on the other hand, can only do twice its height. So it's an upgrade in my book.
Old Farfetched evo looks like he's gonna start busting rhymes in a 90s hip hop music video.
So after all this years I just learned the Substitute sprite is actually a beta Larvitar design.
I still waiting for the pre-evo of meowth come back, it’s incredibly cute
I really like that one too
In gen 1 there was an npc which mentions a pink pokemon with a floral pattern outside of rock tunnel on the lavender town side. The description sounds suspiciously like munna.
Hope we get that Baby Meowth one day.
The problem with Madame(far fetch'd evo) is it can only be female, which was its gimmick. My solution is Female farfetchd become madam and male become sir fetchd.
the larvitar beta design kinda looks like the design of the substitute doll.
I use the trash bag wormadam alot lol
8:43 maybe it’s just me but it bears a striking resemblance of the Substitute Doll.
I thought the same
The majestic Lion could be a way to make ppl believe thats the 4th legendary in the painting with the bird trio instead Arcanine, bc it really looks a stronger arcanine
I AM A BURMY FAN
3:45
I used a Trash-Wormadam in my Legends Arceus playthrough, because I happened to run into one and I find it cute. It wasn’t exactly the back-bone of my team, but it came in handy sometimes and I liked having it around.
The fact that some actual beta designs were better than normal Pokémon are insane. Also, what's the background music you use? I have a very faint memory of the first one.
National Park!
@@Turtlebro Thank you! :D
8:37 this pre-evolution actually looks like the substitute doll
I know there was a mecha dinosaur looking pokemon (Omega I think it was called) that looks alot like the Paradox Pokemon Iron Thorns (Future version of Tyranitar)
Lickilicky’s scrapped design is probably for good, considering that all other mons based on cultural/enthic stereotypes gave them trouble and had to be redesigned or recolored, like jinx and bellossom
You forgot the snowbunny grass ice pokemon designs that eventually became abomasnow.
Early sirfetched looks like its a dj trying to scratch a record
Welcome back Tutrle Kyodai
I feel like that Beta Tortuga may have been an early design for Lugia, just based on the eyes
I do think that was just Sugimori's art style, if you notice a lot of the pokemon he drew at the time had similar features. The Farfetch'd evo had similar arms to Lugia too.
Great work with the presentation of this video! It’s sooo clean and I love all the content you pulled for it. Definitely earned a sub here!
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot.
Find it interesting how much beta Tyranitar looks like the substitute doll
Those Tyranitar ones look like Godzillant, a Pokémon from a very early concept sketch of what the battle screen would look like when they were planning Gen 1. Basically just tiny Godzilla lol. And it was battling a King Kong equivalent.
I wish Tirtouga had kept its old skull ridge. I like how it resembles a top-knot or male pattern baldness. I feel like it would have had a more inspired evolution.
Kinda looks like lugia the head aspect
In conclusion; gamefreak NEVER forgets!!
9:38 if that was the water starter I would have picked typhlosion
9:41 would argue that this evolution line possibly takes more from Oshawatts's line in Black and White.
Would also make a little sense and give an inside joke as to why the anime had Ash's Oshawatt and Piplup beef.
I'm a huge fan of the whole burmy line! I've used both mothim AND wormadam competitvely!
There’s even more but I’m glad we’re figuring this out
The only thing that could fix me right now is a Mauville ramen bowl
I’m glad mime jr was scrapped in gen 2 we got the perfect design
I used a burmy in bdsp, hes now a lil mothim. Its a cute pokemon🥺
Uhhhhh...... I used Burmy
Mime Jr was introduced earlier than Diamond and Pearl’s release. Wasn’t he part of team rocket in the Ruby and Sapphire anime?
Can't they make a game like a paralel universe with all the beta pokemons in it with some of them being the variants of the current ones
0:51 everyone says that’s tirtouga when that’s clearly Lugia look at the face similarities it’s on point
That is literally lugia’s face on a turtle’s body
Lugia was an invention from the anime. The director got granted a whole original pokemon design to promote his second movie.
Lugia was afterwards added way late into the game because of its popularity. You can clearly see he's not in any of the betas.
For some reason I've been convinced that leafeon and glaceon were introduced in gen 3 for all of my life. I didn't believe it at all when he said leafeon is gen 3 so I googled it and my life has been changed forever
I didn't know there was a beta-koala Pokémon 😮
The beta fire starter from the Gold/Silver demo was changed into Teddiursa.
4:45 nightmare fuel
Ninetales is a fire typed fox Pokémon. Based on the japanesse mythical creature the nine tailed fox or Kurama.
burmy is my wife’s fave pokemon, she has plushies of all 3 forms! need to sound off on her behalf
Hahaha I love that
Ledian is actually based on a Gamefreak game that came before pokemon, that game also has other designs that were turned into pokemon like Zatu
Burmy my beloved! I had no idea that it came from an earlier gen.
Was sharpening my axe waiting for that Leafeon answer.
when gen 1 came out i was wondering wheres grass evvee wheres moon eevee and all other stones eevees.
9:43 honestly i love this design. Wish we got it in some gen
I think the current sirfetched looks better. I can see the beta as a female only tho.
2:45 that normal fanmade eeveelution looks like tails the fox lol
That beta leafeon looks more like a digimon than a pokemon
Turtle was probably beta design for succkle maker more sense than the gen5 turtle
What a shame they didn't reuse Kotora in the latest gens...
Too late, it's mine now HAHAHAHAHA
I really like Kotora's design, I wish they bring it back someday
Kotora and Rinring were my favorite Beta Pokémon. And I liked Quagsire's beta design more than its current.
The scrapped Farfetch'd evolution could still come back if they make an Italian-inspired region.
I, as a fan of burmy (not my fav but still high) and having each member of its evolution line separatedly as companions, felt offended by the comment
I would had rather have just one region (Johto) and spend the rest of the space on new pokémon
It's kinda ironic that despite it was planned for gen 2/Johto, Leafeon can't be evolved in HGSS but through DP
I can say that Gen 4 bring back a lot of concepts and pre-evolutions and evolutions to the Pokemons because of Dialga (the God of Time).
Tirtouga is best boi though:(
9:34 I kind of see Verizion just a little bit. Obviously it isn’t but still lol
Burmy fan. I really like Mothim and its Autumn looking color palette.
I think burmy is kind of cool
NOOO WE WERE ROBBED OF EXTRA LEAFY LEAFEON😭💔
I've known about the Spaceworld leaks since they came out but never about the Korean leaks which contain different Mons entirely. How on earth, and why does it still seem obscure relative to the other leaks?
It's not as talked about as the spaceworld demo, in fact I only found out about it for the first time while researching this video. Korean Build was from early-ish 1997 I believe, and I don't think there's a playable build online (correct me if i'm wrong anyone)
Burmy is my favourite pokémon, but no I don't really use it a lot, I just like it, and do use Wormadam sometimes, though I prefer the ability to change coats even if you don't get the mechanical advantages until you evolve.
Burmy is one of my favorite Pokemon!
Articuno
Zapdos
Moltres
Rosequatro
I think new Pokemon designs are better also the designer who does this new version but some new Pokemon designs are worst in game scarlet and violet
I wonder if bellboyant will be redesigned or if it was reused for delcatty. I do like delcatty
Also around 9:26 that "crocodile" looks more like a dragon and reminds me of dreepy.
It is confirmed it was crocodile though. Its name was Crocky
The bell cats? I think they were definetly reused for Skitty and Delcatty. Bells and the Moon are parts of their designs even though they've been made less obvious
Leafeon was intended for Gen 1
is there a rom of the early korean build?
Not that I know of. But it'll probably come out eventually.
Not a burmy fan buy i know a guy who's a wormadam lover. There really is one for everyone out there
My favourite type of unreleased. Pokémon are the ones that are just a flower blob thing
I feel like they used the scrapped Farfetch'd evo more for Swanna than Sirfetch'd.
You might be onto something!
Possible. Since most Gen 5 designs (not all of them, but some surely are) are basically a revisitation of Gen 1 designs. Ducklett could be Gen 5's Farfetch'd, with Swanna being a revisitation of the scrapped evolution. I mean Swanna has also feminine traits, and the whole "ugly duckling to beautiful swan" theme fits more on a western duck pokémon more than it does on a duck pokémon based on a japanese saying. Meanwhile Sirferch'd could be the result of game freak's will to still give an evolution to Farfetch'd, though Sirfetch'd design while still being western inspired now fits because it is the evolution of Galarian Farfetch'd, also it is more masculine, maybe a counterpart to Swanna's more feminine portrayal
My Dreams Is to have back raitora without redesign
2:19 honestly, im glad it got cut. That one was so ugly, leafeon is so much better
I LOVE BURMY AND MOTHIM!!!!!!!
they should've kept the stars on ledian :( I feel like I've been robbed, ledian is already cute but the stars ;-;
Really wish that ancher shark was real
Me too!
I have a confession…. I like burmy and wormadam. There I said it, let the judgement begin! But seriously idk why. I liked hunting for them in arceus and then a pkmn card came out with all 3 burmies on it. They were just hanging around together and straight up look like they’re gossiping, with one even looking a bit scandalized and i just fell in love with the stupid bag worm even more.
That card sounds amazing
@@Turtlebro i just looked it up it is the 9/172 in sword and shield brilliant stars. It still makes me laugh
I use Burmy Cause I like Mothim
As a professional on cute...
I prefer the gen 2 licklickylicky licky 😅
And it would probably get cuter in new gens... well maybe not. Raichu go done DIRTY. My phat boiiii. Luckily they brought in Alolan Raichu.
Burmy 4 life
Burmy love ❤
ok
You say downgrade because that's your opinion, right?
yes
Shame they couldn't still have the mentality and restraint they had back then with the ideas and execution.
Damn I hate modern pokemon though. After B&W the designs just got awful
Popplio
What I don't like about Regional Evolutions is that the original version still needs an evolution. I would love to see Farfetch'd's beta evolution to get added. So Kanto's Farfetch'd would evolve into the Beta Evolution, and Galarian Farfetch'd evolves into Sirfetch'd. Just like how Yamask evolves into Cofagrigus and Galarian Yamask evolves into Runerigus.
By the by, I've got to say: I just hate that Mr. Rime isn't called Sir Mime. It fits the design better, and it would've kept the trend going that their title evolves with them (Jr. Mr. Sir). Mr Rime could be a future Kanto's Mr. Mime Evolution's name and I can imagine it being based on a French mime, appearing in Legends Z-A
