Lost Pokemon of the Day: Spiky-eared Pichu

While not technically a "Lost Pokemon" in the traditional sense, Spiky-eared Pichu was exclusive to HeartGold & SoulSilver, and couldn't be traded into future generations... Meaning she's stuck in Gen 4 *forever.*

Beta Kingdra:

The original Kingdra used in Gold & Silver's 1997 demo looked much more like a Water/Dragon type than its final design. Maybe someday it could be a regional form.

Beta Lickitung:

With a beta sprite dating back to 1990, Lickitung was one of the earliest Pokemon ever created. But it changed a bit in Gen 1's development... especially the tongue.

Lost Pokemon of the Day: Primal Dialga

While not technically a "Lost Pokemon" in the traditional sense, Primal Dialga's been missing from the Pokemon series since 2009. What's more, he's never appeared in a mainline game -- only in spinoffs, anime, & manga.

Beta Murkrow:

In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Murkrow was originally much more obviously based on a witch. But its pointy hat and broom-like tail ended up getting dialed back.

Beta Gastly:

Gastly was created around 1990, but he didn't look like the Gastly we know today until around 1995 -- his beta sprite and Red, Green, & Blue sprites reveal what he USED to look like.

Beta Mime Jr:

In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Mime Jr was originally pure Normal-type and named Baririina. He was cut from Gen 2, but returned in Gen 4 with a new name and design.
