Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta: Difference between revisions

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