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. | 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]].

There were also numerous changes to Pokémon included in the games. An early version of {{p|Torchic}} is nearly identical to the current designs, aside from the large floppy ears. There is another design though that shows it inside an eggshell with lots of fluff on its neck. Another curious picture depicts a creature with traits of both {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Blaziken}}, along with an unused {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Concept art of {{p|Treecko}} also shows 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. Groudon also had a picture of its early design shown and it had a different shape to its eyes, one more set of spikes on the torso, one less spike on the tail, one of the spikes on the neck was moved to the head on the final design, overall shapes are much less sharp, head details became much more elongated, and the [[weather trio]] signature body markings are still not present. | There were also numerous changes to Pokémon included in the games.
