Later generations
Marill was infamously known as Pikablu among Western fans before the English releases of Pokémon Gold and Silver, which contrasts with its availability as a wild Pokémon in the Silver version of the Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo, where it was pink instead of blue. This phenomenon is related to the concept of PokéGods that also covered other Generation II Pokémon such as Honōguma (the Fire-type starter Pokémon in the aforementioned demo) and Snubbull.[1]
Snivy was commonly referred to as Smugleaf by Western fans following a leak of CoroCoro's June 2010 issue that featured the first partner Pokémon in Pokémon Black and White, which had not been officially revealed yet.[2][3]
