List of unused Pokémon and character designs (view source)
Revision as of 16:23, 27 June 2023
, 27 June 2023→Bimonthly Game Review: Added development history of GSC to timeline the designs more clearly, and add much-needed context. This magazine was an argument against the validity of the SpaceWorld demo until the retranslation because of Tyranitar's lack of presence. I would argue that the "Pokémon Gold and Silver beta" debut is misleading as well.
(Moving Bimonthly Game Review to a separate section, so it can be given the proper context) |

|desc=This creature has an unusual appearance, sharing characteristics with both {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}; in the case of the latter, a horned tail and multiple paws around its midsection suggest a similar top motif. However, this creature has its point located on its bottom, while Hitmontop has its point located atop its head. | |desc=This creature has an unusual appearance, sharing characteristics with both {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}; in the case of the latter, a horned tail and multiple paws around its midsection suggest a similar top motif. However, this creature has its point located on its bottom, while Hitmontop has its point located atop its head. It's notable that at the time of the SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hitmontop had a drastically different design that would not be finalised for a significant period of time. This in addition to the magazine's context, means it is unlikely to be related to the {{p|Tyrogue}} family.}} | ||

This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. 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, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones.}} | This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions.

However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.}} | ||
