In the May 2007 issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' about {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated, "There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in Ruby and Sapphire that we were able to put in this time...", which likely suggests that {{p|Shellos}} and/or {{p|Gastrodon}} (existing sea-slug Pokémon) were planned for [[Generation III]] instead of [[Generation IV]].<ref>"Pearls of Wisdom", ''Nintendo Power'' Issue 215, May 2007 ([https://imgur.com/a/kkZqB Scan])</ref> | In the May 2007 issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' about {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated, "There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in Ruby and Sapphire that we were able to put in this time...", which likely suggests that {{p|Shellos}} and/or {{p|Gastrodon}} (existing sea-slug Pokémon) were planned for [[Generation III]] instead of [[Generation IV]].<ref>"Pearls of Wisdom", ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 215, May 2007, p. 37 ([https://imgur.com/a/kkZqB Scan])</ref> | ||
Supporting this theory is the fact that [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|internal data]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} reveals a back sprite for both Shellos and Gastrodon with a slightly different design, but no front sprite. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, and seems to combine the West Sea variation's head with the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|East Sea variation}}'s body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variation}}, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body. | Supporting this theory is the fact that [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|internal data]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} reveals a back sprite for both Shellos and Gastrodon with a slightly different design, but no front sprite.
