List of unused Pokémon and character designs: Difference between revisions

{{trainerpkmn|note=|width=100|main=no||Honōguma|{{fire color}}|Alpha honouguma.png|Honōguma's name is a combination of 炎 ''honō'' for flame, and 熊 ''kuma'' for bear. Like Kurusu above, its name and image are all that is known. While not confirmed, its name almost definitely means it was a {{type2|Fire}}. It bears a slight resemblance to {{p|Raichu}}, but doesn't share the same type or species of animal (Raichu being a rodent and Honōguma being a bear), so it is highly unlikely it was related to it. Given its name refers to it as a bear, it could have been an early version of the {{p|Teddiursa}} evolution family, or, while not a bear, but having the same bipedal stance and being Fire-type, an early version of the {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolution family.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|width=100|main=no||Unnamed mammal|{{fighting color}}|Alpha top.png|[[File:237.png|right]] This strange creature appeared as art but was never given a name. Its extremely odd appearance extremely similar to {{p|Hitmontop}}; namely the multiple feet around its midsection. Although this creature has its point located on its bottom, and Hitmontop has its point located on its head, this creature is most likely an early version of Hitmontop.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=f|width=100|main=no||Unnamed turtle|{{unknown color}}|Alpha turtle.png|Nothing is known about this turtle Pokémon. Notably, it barely resembles anything that was released in Generation II. Some fans have speculated it may have been an alternative take on {{p|Magcargo}} or {{p|Donphan}} or maybe an extremely early, and different take on {{p|Corsola}} or {{p|Pupitar}}. The Pokémon it most closely resembles are {{p|Torkoal}} from [[Generation III]], and the {{p|Turtwig}} evolution family from [[Generation IV]], but it is highly unlikely they are related.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=h|width=100|main=no||Happa|{{grass color}}|Alpha happa.png|{{main|Chikorita (Pokémon)}}<br><br>[[File:152.png|right]] Happa's name simply means "leaf" in Japanese. Happa is the early version of Chikorita. Happa resembles Chikorita without its body and legs. It isn't known why the design was changed, but without the body and legs, Chikorita would have been significantly smaller than the other two Generation II starters; {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|width=100|main=no||Mariru|{{water color}}|Alpha mariru.png|{{main|Marill (Pokémon)}}<br><br>[[File:183.png|right]] Mariru is the early version of Marill. Other than the similar names, Mariru and Marill are visually quite different. The purple color is the main difference as well as the notably missing large ears. Marill also has an erratic tail pattern that is missing from Mariru, though with this being a concept art, small details were most likely not a concern at the time.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|width=100|main=no||Kirinriki|{{psychic color}}|Alpha kirinriki.png|{{main|Girafarig (Pokémon)}}<br><br>[[File:203.png|right]] This concept art of Girafarig shows the original design contained two heads, instead of the final version's one. It is also unknown why the design was changed from two heads to one, but overall it remains mostly similar outside of some coloring differences (though, because this is concept art, specific coloring details were most likely not considered at the time).}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|width=100|main=no||Bukū|{{water color}}|Alpha bukuu.png|{{main|Qwilfish (Pokémon)}}<br><br>[[File:211.png|right]] Bukū's name is derived from "fugu", the Japanese word for blowfish. It is most likely an early version of Qwilfish. Notable differences between Qwilfish and this pre-release version are the colors, and shape of the tail. However, the shape of the tail does appear slightly similar to the length of the tail in Qwilfish's [[Generation II]] back sprite. No other generation shows Qwilfish's tail that short. }}

{{trainerpkmn|note=f|width=100|main=no||Tyranitar|{{rock color}}|Alpha tyranitar.png|{{main|Tyranitar (Pokémon)}}<br><br>[[File:248.png|right]] This early version of Tyranitar is nearly identical to the Tyranitar known today. It was shown at the same time as two other unnamed Pokémon (seen in the section above) and strangely has little to no differences outside of the center design on the final version having a teel tint, and the neck being slightly thinner. Its peculiar that Tyranitar was nearly completed at the time, but the other two featured Pokémon were never seen in their original designs.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=h|width=100|main=no||Female main character|{{blue color light}}|Starter artwork.png|[[File:Red, Green and Blue Adventures.png|right|150px]] This art of a female {{player|character}} (with {{p|Squirtle}}) looks similar to {{adv|Green}}, as seen to the right. The image was shown on the boxes for the games, as well as in official strategy guides. It is unknown if she was ever intended to be a playable character, like [[Red]], or if she was supposed to be a supporting character, and act similar to the partner/rival of the player in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. When Red and Green were later remade, players finally got the chance to use a female character named {{ga|Leaf}}. It is possible she was based off of this character, namely due to the near exact resemblance of this character and Green, whom later adorned the same outfit as Leaf.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|width=100|main=no||Female trainer|{{psychic color}}|Alpha girltrainer.png|This unnamed female {{pkmn|Trainer}} art was revealed in a magazine prior to Generation II, but never officially released. It is unknown who this trainer was supposed to represent, be it a main character, a supporting character, or just an NPC. Visually, she has similarities to multiple trainer classes. Her age and appearance make her appear similar to a [[Beauty]] or [[Cool Trainer]], but the outfit is similar to a [[Lass]] or [[Picnicker]].}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=f|width=100|main=no||Male trainer|{{poison color}}|Alpha boytrainer.png|Hiding in the background of the same magazine article as the female trainer above was a male Trainer that was never used. As with the female trainer, it is unknown if he was designed as a main character, or supporting character, or was simply representing a trainer class. However, singling the trainer class is difficult as the image is small, and low quality. He has notable hints of multiple classes, such as a [[Tamer]], [[Psychic (Trainer class)|Psychic]], [[Juggler]], [[Burglar]], [[Pokémaniac]], [[Gamer|Gambler]], and even a male [[Rocket Executive]]. Some fans also speculate if he was an early design of [[Eusine]].}}
