(2/4) Kōnya was first revealed when Gold & Silver's 1997 demo leaked in 2018. This early build of G&S showed that Kōnya would have evolved into Meowth at level 14, and that just like its evolutions, was Normal type.

Kōnya could translate to either "Baby Meow" or "Coin Meow."

Lost Pokemon of the Day: Kōnya

Originally meant as stage 1 of the Meowth family, Kōnya was created for Gen 1, but ended up getting cut. Then Kōnya was later planned for inclusion in Gen 2, but got cut again.

Beta Seel:

Seel's Gen 1 beta sprite shows a very different seal design. Dewgong probably wasn't created until much later, as no evidence of a Dewgong beta sprite has ever been discovered.
