Beta Lumineon:

The Finneon beta sprite (posted yesterday) revealed in the recent Gen 4 leak wasn’t TOO different from its final design, but Lumineon changed significantly during development.

Beta Finneon:

The recent Gen 4 beta sprite leak included about a dozen early designs for Sinnoh Pokemon. Finneon's design didn't change TOO much, but it did feature lots of small differences.

Pikachu's Belly:

In some of his earliest official artwork, Pikachu is depicted as having a white belly. His sprites from Red, Green, and Blue reflect this early design as well. But by the time Gen 1 came to a close, the belly had disappeared and Pikachu's body was solid yellow.

(2/4) Details about White Pichu were first revealed by Shōko Nakagawa in her 2013 autobiography. Shōko is best known as the host of Pokemon Sunday, and she's also Spiky-eared Pichu's voice actress in the Japanese anime. Shōko's even revealed White Pichu's official concept art.

Lost Pokemon of the Day: White Pichu

Spiky-eared Pichu was a special event Pokemon introduced in Gen 4. But originally, Game Freak was planning for a White Pichu to occupy this role... but sadly, White Pichu ended up getting scrapped.

Beta Furret:

In Gold & Silver's 1999 demo, Sentret's design was identical to its final design, but Furret was quite different -- a pink thin Pokemon with a different tail and belly pattern.

Lost Pokemon of the Day: Omega

First revealed by Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara in December 2018, Omega was one of many Pokemon created during Gen 1's development who didn't end up making the final cut.

Beta Carnivine:

The recent Gen 4 beta leak contained a Carnivine beta sprite so simplistic, it was clearly intended to get rebuilt before release... that said, what if it WAS the final design?

Beta Scyther:

In Dec 2018, Pokemon Company CEO Ishihara showcased some Gen 1 beta sprites on Japanese TV, including Scyther's -- revealing his chonky original design for the very first time.
