When considering the evolution of Gen 1 Pokemon designs, it's important to realize their sprites were created BEFORE Ken Sugimori's iconic artwork.

Weird sprites aren't poor representations of Pokemon -- rather, Sugimori's artwork is a revision of the Pokemon seen in the sprite.

Beta Skiploom:

In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Skiploom's original name was Poponeko, meaning "Dandelion Cat," and he evolved at level 40. But he was redesigned, renamed, & changed to level 27.

Beta Hoppip:

In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Hoppip's original name was Haneko, meaning "Leaf Cat" -- which made sense, considering its original design was much more cat-like.

PMD-Exclusive: Primal Dialga

When Dialga loses its power of time-manipulation, it becomes Primal Dialga, a villain incapable of reason or mercy.

Primal Dialga appeared in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, as well as the PMD manga & anime, but has still never appeared in a mainline game.
