Beta Entei:

In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, not only did Entei have a radically different design, but he was simply named En -- which translates into English as "Fire."

(4/4) In Japan, Primal Dialga is actually known as "Dark Dialga." Therefore, he bears no canonical relation to Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre -- whose Japanese names are the same, "Primal."

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 Bellossom:

In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Bellossom's original design was purple. In fact, her G&S release version artwork was purple too -- she didn't get revised to green until later.

Lost Pokemon of the Day: Tsubomitto

First revealed when Gold & Silver's 1997 demo leaked in 2018, Tsubomitto was Grass/Poison and evolved from Weepinbell via Poison Stone... but Tsubomitto and Poison Stones both ended up getting cut.

Beta Gengar:

With a beta sprite dating back to 1990, and an internal ID number of #14, Gengar was among the earliest Pokemon ever created. What changed in development? His eyes, ears, teeth & chonkiness.

Unova Girl Power:

According to Pokemon character designer Yusuke Ohmura, Gym Leader Skyla was designed as a pilot who leads all the men. All the subordinate trainers in her female-led Gym are male Pilots and Workers.

(3/4) Thanks to this exhibition, we know what this Lost Pokemon looked like... but unfortunately, Game Freak never revealed its elemental type or its name. Thus, it's usually referred to as "Latiken" -- a mash-up of Latias & Blaziken.

Later artwork replaced Latiken with Latios.
