- the xatu line was originally a 3-stage!
- what's this little black guy supposed to be? living cave painting? (update : kokopelli, bit of a bizarre subject to have a pokemon of - this thing would've fitted in well with other "tribal/ancient" themed pokemon like xatu and sigilyph)
- snake with eyebrows
- another fox lost to the cutting room? or progenitor to fennekin/thievul?
- this looks like a 4-stage line, or branch evo line of a scrapped grass-type - they might've been playing with the idea of 4-stage lines here
[update : good lord! the 2nd sprite here might actually be a surviving sprite of pikachu's earliest progenitor ; a daifuku with ears!]
- a scrapped elephant, copperajah progenitor or a revival of that scrapped gen I elephant?
- a kiwi, we don't have one of those yet (doduo comes close, but still)
- scorpion, proto-gligar? some say it's a homage to a facehugger
- quail?
- another bird? fancy-ish design
- looks like a variant of the scrapped qwilfish evo
- a thing with antlers and tusks...a wild boar? supposedly might've inspired swinub/piloswine later
- this little dog guy was probably a smeargle prevo
- typical japanese ghost design
- there's kotora again
- seems stantler was a fresh concept in this build
- elebaby and elekid together? seems the electabuzz line was going to be 3-staged
- here's a new one...bootleg lapras? some say it could've been a viking ship-based proto-lugia, whom would be ho-oh's counterpart of the sea
- this wolf-thing looked like it'd pass as a side legendary
- what is this grinning freak
- snake, proto-dunsparce?
- some flower-bird?
- this monster was probably a good jumper
- turns out they planned to rip the sunfish out of the ankorage->grotesk evo line and give it a 3-stage sunfish line of its own
- what is this thing and why does it have a messenger bag? actually some suggest its a ninja sugar glider and the "bag" is a katana in sheath
- proto-cyndaquil before they made it the fire starter - it looked more like a hedgehog here
- this looks like the prevo of the scrapped fox early on, or a proto-furret
- a fucking stork!? we could've had a stork pokemon!?
- drill squid, maybe this was a short-lived rebirth of a scrapped gen I squid pokemon?
- this looks like proto-burmy and mothim
- komala's progenitor! they wanted a damn koala since gen II!
- tanuki!? and we still don't have one yet! this one appears to be based on kachi-kachi yama, a japanese folktale that involved a rabbit setting a tanuki's backload of kindling on fire
- nootnoot bird
- fireball seal at least got a redrawn sprite before getting cut
- this frog thing
- this freak with weird hair and half-black body
- skeleton beast
- pols voice, the pokemon that never was
- some fly
- one eyed plant thing
- another bug
- this thing looks like a calyrex progenitor or was going to be some kind of grass type
[update : some suggest this might've been the "dolly the clone sheep" design]
- ugly sunshine cherrim progenitor or a pathetic attempt as a cherry blossom pokemon they couldn't get right
- tsuchinoko, likely proto-dunsparce and/or the evo of the snake early on in the sheet
- an armored water-type with a clubbed tail that probably scrapped with lapras
- a literal flying fish-bird?
- an alternate ampharos sprite
- gloom was going to be depicted as just having itself a shit in battle!?

lorelei was meant for a gen II reappearance
the middle sprite looks to have been the basis for karen's sprite in the final product

the source codes for blue and yellow also got out, revealing much of the localization process

the tagline was originally going to be "catch 'em if you can"

and it was just discovered in yellow's source code, that yellow version was to be accompanied with a "pink version"

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/rumour_pokemon_yellow_datamine_unearths_potentially_scrapped_pokemon_pink_version

it's thought either clefairy or jigglypuff would've made the cover, but i'd guess clefairy as it seems they'd intend for it to be a tie-in with that gag manga and that clefairy was almost the franchise mascot

hmm looks like nintendo caught wind of this snafu

tweets are getting killed, someone covering the leaks got a "phone call", and a website got taken down

"twinz" looked to have had one more redesign before they reimagined it into wobbuffet :

this looked a bit more like girafarig's final design, but with one horn
had girafarig stayed with it's back half full, this would've been a splendid prevo

proto-totodile

seems that at one time, they experimented with making sneasel into a homage to sonic...
game freak were sega fanboys...and it looked like a baby werehog

https://abload.de/img/1587801949178jcjg8.png
politoed had one more design being considered

various cyndaquil stances

another proto-blissey looking like its wearing an apron

2 flavors of grinning proto-mantine alongside what ended up it's final design

silver CBB folder : https://imgur.com/a/qGUf70A - hell if i'd know why, but this one got login-walled for containing "adult content" and i don't feel like making an imgur acct just to view it, and even so it's probably just the damn shitting gloom sprite

seems the "pokemon 2" name got further enough along to had title screen graphics done

imakuni almost appeared! yes...mouse suit guy in TCGGB whom was based on a real celebrity, has his own cards, nowadays seems to still do TCG art i believe

again imposter oak was meant to be another face in the franchise, a little more than just a face on some TCG cards!
i'd like to see game freak revisit him in a future generation/remake...

another proto-azumarill w/ 2 tails
like furret, the original color became it's shiny color

at one point, yellow was to replace all or a sizable portion of pokemon cries with digitized recordings of their anime variation:

in hindsight it was a horrible idea and would've set things up for localization nightmares on top of filespace woes
