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,

  • Makes sense that Solgaleo got a scrapped design in gen 2, it got foreshadowed in the 3rd Pokemon movie
  • @mamutepeq
    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.

    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.

    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.
  • 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.
  • @nihildwo4874
    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.
  • So after all this years I just learned the Substitute sprite is actually a beta Larvitar design.
  • @Touma134
    Old Farfetched evo looks like he's gonna start busting rhymes in a 90s hip hop music video.
  • @a11220a11220
    I still waiting for the pre-evo of meowth come back, it’s incredibly cute
  • @TJ-zo8ox
    You forgot the snowbunny grass ice pokemon designs that eventually became abomasnow.
  • @6ustavocosta
    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
  • @danx3363
    8:43 maybe it’s just me but it bears a striking resemblance of the Substitute Doll.
  • @leadslugs
    the larvitar beta design kinda looks like the design of the substitute doll.
  • @Sono-saki
    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.
  • @MCWSam
    Hope we get that Baby Meowth one day.
  • @Colbynfriends
    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)
