Many Pokémon first appeared in the Pokémon anime, movies, or spin-off games, while others have been teased or unveiled in periodical video presentations, special websites, promotional trailers on social media, in print publications such as CoroCoro magazine, or in advertisements. New Pokémon have also frequently been leaked on the Internet before their intended debut. Additionally, some Pokémon, often Mythical Pokémon, have been hinted at in the games before their formal reveal or were discoverable in game code or through glitches.

Limited information may be known about a Pokémon before it is obtainable in the games; only a silhouette or brief glimpse of the Pokémon may be shown, or the name or type of the Pokémon may be left unrevealed.

Generation I

Less than two months after the release of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, the first brand new Pokémon species to be revealed was Mew, appearing in the May issue of CoroCoro Comics released in April 1996, thus bringing the total number of known Pokémon to 151. The issue featured a promotion allowing 20 players to send in copies of their games to have Mew added by Nintendo. Mew was later made widely available through events soon after the international release of Pokémon Red and Blue.

Before its official reveal, Mew was discoverable in the code of the Generation I games, as well as through glitches.

Mew was a little-known secret when Pokémon Red and Green were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Shigeki Morimoto had programmed it into the game.[2] According to Shigeki Morimoto, the cartridges for Pokémon Red and Green had about 300 bytes of free space left after the debugging process was complete, and he thought of slotting Mew in as a last-minute addition, even after he was told not to tamper with the games post-debugging.[2] However, Pokémon Red and Green are 373 kilobytes in size and are housed in 512 kilobyte cartridges.[3][4] In an interview with Game Freak and Creatures, Inc. in Nintendo Power issue 134, Shigeki Morimoto revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.[5]

Generation II

 
Ho-Oh's first appearance in the anime

An unidentified Pokémon appeared in the first episode of the Pokémon anime, Pokémon - I Choose You!, first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997, and in the United States on September 8, 1998. It was seen flying over a rainbow by Ash on his first day as a Pokémon Trainer. The Pokémon, later revealed to be named Ho-Oh, was first revealed in the August 1996 issue of CoroCoro magazine.[6] It was the first Generation II Pokémon to appear in any Pokémon media, and was the first sign that the franchise would expand beyond the original 151 Pokémon.

A month later, Ampharos, Slowking, and Donphan were revealed in the May 1997 issue of CoroCoro.[7]

 
Misty's Togepi

In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, which first aired in Japan on May 28, 1998 and in the United States on February 27, 1999, Ash found a mysterious Pokémon Egg. In Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, which first aired in Japan on June 25, 1998, and in the United States on March 27, 1999, the Egg hatched into a never-before-seen Pokémon named Togepi, marking the second appearance of a Generation II Pokémon in the anime. Due to the effects of the "Pokémon Shock" incident, this episode was delayed from its original airdate in March 1998, which may have been intended to coincide with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, originally scheduled to release the same month.

Initially revealed in July 1998 in CoroCoro, Marill and Snubbull would later appear in the Pikachu short Pikachu's Vacation shown alongside the first Pokémon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back, which debuted in Japanese theaters on July 18, 1998, and in North American theaters on November 10, 1999. Donphan also made its first major appearance in the beginning of Mewtwo Strikes Back, used by Raymond in a battle against Ash.

First seen as a silhouette in the December 1998 issue of CoroCoro, Lugia was first fully shown off in the May 1999 issue alongside Hoothoot, Elekid, and Bellossom. Ledyba was then revealed in the June issue of CoroCoro, and later appeared with Hoothoot, Elekid, and Bellossom in the Pikachu short Pikachu’s Rescue Adventure shown alongside The Power of One, which released in Japanese theaters on July 17, 1999 and North American theaters on July 21, 2000. Lugia and Slowking made their first full appearance in The Power of One, playing major roles in the film.

Several more Pokémon were revealed in CoroCoro in August, September, and October of 1999. Murkrow and Spinarak were revealed in the August issue, and Heracross and Sentret were revealed in the September issue. In October, the Johto first partner Pokémon, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile, were revealed, as well as Quagsire and Stantler.

Episodes taking place in Johto started airing in Japan a month before the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, in which several Generation II Pokémon appeared before their game debut. Notably, Suicune first appeared in Don't Touch That 'dile, first broadcast in Japan on October 14, 1999, with Cyndaquil and Totodile also making their first appearances in the anime. Chikorita appeared in the next episode on October 21, and Heracross appeared in the episode after that on October 28.

Finally, Mareep and Hoppip were revealed in the November 1999 issue of CoroCoro, which also featured Suicune.

Release of Pokémon Gold and Silver
