In a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' interview, it was revealed that {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} were originally planned for [[Generation III]] instead of [[Generation IV]]. These are not the forms in the final releases, however; [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|internal data]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} reveals a back sprite for both Pokémon, but no front sprite. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, and seems to combine the West Sea variation's head with the {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|East Sea variation}}'s body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its {{DL|Form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body.

There were also numerous changes to Pokémon included in the games. A prototype of {{p|Torchic}} was nearly identical to the final design, aside from the large floppy ears. These ears would later be made onto Mega Blaziken in Gen VI. There was another design that shows it inside an eggshell with lots of fluff on its neck. Another curious design depicted a creature with traits of both {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Blaziken}}, along with an unused {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Concept art of {{p|Treecko}} also showed numerous designs for the Pokémon before the final design was decided, mainly with less elongated head shapes and less round nose than the final design.

{{p|Groudon}} also had an earlier design where it had a different shape to its eyes, one more set of spikes on the torso and a spike less on the tail. One of the spikes on the neck was moved to the head on the final design and overall shapes were much less sharp. Head details became much more elongated, and the [[weather trio]] signature body markings were absent.
