This is the first picture that reveals some of Pokémon 2's new monsters in form of four artworks and three Super GameBoy sprites. Starting left, the Pokémon are Donfan (Donphan), Denryuu (Ampharos), Yadoking (Slowking) and Houou (Ho-oh). | |||
Next up are the first four screenshots of Pokémon 2 and some of my own speculation and observations about them: | |||

The first one of Pokémon 2's initial screenshots. This shot shows a completly removed or at least entirely reconstructed city. Note the more Asian-looking buildings and the limited Super GameBoy color palette. The final version's standard town graphic set still retains some of this early one (ex. doors and windows). | |||

Second known screenshot of the game. Again, this city was either completly scrapped or totally rebuild. Apparently, this build of the game uses a newer graphic set then the build of the first screenshot: The sign graphics are the same as in the final release, compared to the birdhouse-like signs of the first screenshot. This is also the first time we see the new water look, as well as the first sighting of a NPC character. | |||

Third known Pokémon 2 screenshot. As before, a removed or totally rebuild city. Here we can either see another change in the graphic set OR the first sighting of a secondary one for towns. When comparing the roof visible on the right side of the shot with the roofs in the screenshot above, you will notice a slightly different pattern on them. Anyway, here we have another graphic element that made its way into the final game - the brick pattern on the wall of the top building. | |||

The last one of the first four screenshots. This time we have an area where you could say that it either partially survived into the final version or at least inspired an area in it. Replace the water with trees and fences and open a path to the right. What do you get? A simplified version of Route 35 and the National Park's southern entrance. | |||

Here's another screenshot that I recently found. It somewhat resembles the Goldenrod Radio Tower. | |||
