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.

Beta Xatu:

In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Natu evolved into Xatu via Heart Stone (a scrapped item also used for Politoed and Espeon). Take special note of Xatu's back sprites.
