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. However, this was just an error and no other generation shows Qwilfish's tail that short.}} | |desc={{main|Qwilfish (Pokémon)}}[[File:211Qwilfish.png|190px|right]]<br><br>Bukū's name is derived from "fugu", the Japanese word for blowfish.

In appearance, it more closely resembles Blaziken. However, some features, including the size, are more similar to Latias. Some of its features do not resemble those of either Pokémon, such as the hands.}} | |||

These forms are possibly leftovers from when Shellos and Gastrodon were planned to be in Generation III. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its West Sea variation, and seems to combine the western variation's head with the 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. Gastrodon's Platinum Pokédex entry appears to reference its beta sprite.}} | |||

Its shell is also much more rounded, making it appear similar to {{p|Golem}}. It also has a much flatter face and more pronounced ears. {{p|Staryu}} is much more geometric in its design without its gem's supporting struts.}} | |||

|desc={{main|Lapras (Pokémon)}}[[File:131Lapras.png|150px|right]]<br><br>An early version of Lapras. While they are recognizably similar, they are visually quite different. Notably Lapras's curly ears are not present. Under the chin the pattern appears different, blending in with the texture of the rest of the head. There are also no visible appendages or tail but that may be due to the water. Also in the sketch is a early design of [[Red]].}} | |||

|epname=Pokémon Gold and Silver beta | |||
|desc={{main|Bellossom (Pokémon)}}[[File:182Bellossom.png|190px|right]]<br><br>Both early artwork of Bellossom and its Gold and Silver artwork show that it was originally to be a similar color to its other evolutionary relatives. A possible explanation for this change would be the intention to avoid another [[Pokémon controversy#Racism|racial controversy]], as the original Bellossom design appears similar to traditional {{wp|polynesia|polynesian}} dress. However, this is unlikely to be the case.}} | |||

|desc={{main|Tyranitar (Pokémon)}}[[File:248Tyranitar.png|230px|right]]<br><br>This early version of Tyranitar is nearly identical to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It was shown alongside two unnamed Pokémon (seen in the section above) on the cover of a Japanese gaming magazine, where it was the only early design to become a released Pokémon. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan rather than indigo belly, has arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. It seems peculiar that Tyranitar was nearly completed at the time, but the other two featured Pokémon were never seen in their original designs.}} | |desc={{main|Tyranitar (Pokémon)}}[[File:248Tyranitar.png|230px|right]]<br><br>This early version of Tyranitar is nearly identical to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions.
