Beta Raikou:
In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, not only did Raikou have a radically different design, but he was simply named Rai -- which translates into English as "Thunder."

@ShinyEevee My first fursona was a cat named Kat, I had them from 2010-2013, after that I switched to Artie who is some weird immortal "fox" spirit.
(the first drawing is actually recent and a recreation of my old style lol)
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."

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.

here’s another cute @pinkypng recreation just in time for titty tuesday 💞
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.

@bahnloopi Never thought about making this connection, the closest dessert would be the recreation of the “gray stuff” from beauty and the beast 😋
Beta Arcanine:
In December 2018, Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara showcased some Gen 1 beta sprites on Japanese TV, including Arcanine's -- revealing his original design for the very first time.

@PascalMulokozi I mean....its the standard side profile you see out of a lot of hero series themed media...
commercials tend to do the recreation/parody of something, not the other way around.
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.

#kusomega a pixel-art recreation of Gil's portrait, and some overworld sprites. I wanna make a Yume Nikki-inspired flash game and Gil would be the perfect protag.
Beta Kingdra:
The original Kingdra design used in Gold & Silver's 1997 demo exemplified its Water/Dragon typing even better than its final design. Maybe someday it could return as a regional form.

Beta Scyther:

So what ended up taking 3 hours extended to the majority of yesterday but I think it's good to say the Carnivores rex recreation is a success
Beta Bayleef:
In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Chikorita and Meganium were nearly identical to their release version designs... but Bayleef's design was radically different.

The Original Tyranitar:
Early Sugimori artwork for Tyranitar was first seen in a 1997 Japanese magazine -- at the time, he wasn't even supposed to be a Pokemon. Further reading: https://t.co/HNdJoJ661Q

I sure wonder who these could belong to
(this is like my second ever attempt at tile sets with the first having been 3 years ago and I'm fairly happy with this recreation)
