The Poké-Leaks Continue: Gen 2 source codes reveal more beta Pokemon designs
- Thread starter Camjo-Z

What... is THAT!?
"Twins" (Twinz?), the Shadow Pokemon. It actually seems mostly unrelated to the final wobbuffet. Although I guess it might be the reason Wobbuffet's pokedex description in Gold mentions that it dislikes light.
The designs for the og 151 are basically the final designs at this point. There's a few of the new ones that resemble the finals as well, and they've gotten away from the monochrome, heavy shaded look that definite the red/green sprite (except for Kingdra). The cartoony outlines are on full display here and lots of placeholders.
I'm trying to (really badly via Google's JP to ENG function) decipher the summary for this one. I'm becoming really inclined to think that Twinz became Wobbuffet. The Silver bio seems to mention lurking in the dark and counterattacking. The last sentence seems to mention three times the pain back? But again, I'm not even close to good with Japanese; I can only basically decipher hiragana and katakana.
Could also be why Wobbuffet has eyes on its tail
ERAsaur also brought up some of the the other quirks in an older post durign the paceworld demo iirc.
I can fully believe this blob is a placeholder concept as they began the transition from "twinz" to "wobbuffet"
Very curious about the types at this point. It feels like they've already moved away from poison stone/heart stone (both Espeon and Umbreon have their final designs, as does Blissey.)
I wonder if the Spaceworld demo included a bunch of red/green sprites that theyjust never used and never planned on using, hence all the babies that disappeared?

This is interesting. In the Spaceworld demo, a Pokemon named Twinz evolved into Girafarig (which had two identical heads at that time) at level 29. I can see definitely see some resemblance between the Spaceworld Twinz and Wobbuffet's tail.
Old Pokémon Gold And Silver Demo Shows Features That Never Made It
Pokémon Gold and Silver once had a bigger map, many more Pokémon, and even a skateboard, according to a new leak of a pre-release demo for the two 1999 Pokémon games.

I...err...liked it. It's cute af haha
I'm guessing they culled half the babies just for the sake of adding more new lines rather than just them being left overs they always planned to remove. At the very least they had proper evolution data, spritework and moves that were in line with everyone else.
I guess. I'm just thrown by how in this version, all the spritework has moved away from the shaded monochrome we saw with the babies/extra evolutions in the demo. But I guess due to Gold/Silver's dev hell, it's likely they shifted when Iwata came on board and jettisoned the stuff they didn't think was working, including the babies, as well as upgrading the art.
Yeah, the first word in the bio you linked is "light". This is pre-final Wobbuffet. Twinz became Wobbuffet and was once linked to Girafarig! Though I'm pretty sure the theories have been out there for a while.
These leaks seem pretty similar to the final game, but damn that spaceword 1997 demo will go down as legendary, i don't think Gamefreak wanted us to see many of those designs because they maybe wanted to reuse them (some of them like leafeon obviously did get used)
OH FUCK THIS IS THE CUTEST THINGBeta Quagsire is a goddamn nightmare
Apparently this is the back sprite for Twinz in this build, going by that 4chan thread. Completely different from the placeholder front sprite, although it ties in with the Spaceworld 97' Twinz which seemed to be intended to be a Girafarig pre-evo (although it also looks completely different from that).
(Named is messed up because he's just using a code to change a Pokemon into another one)

So that pretty conclusively links Wobbuffet to Girafarig, via Twinz.
Decades of speculation actually paid off. I'm in awe of this leak.
Wait, there was another gen 1 leak? I need to know... do we have anything more of the best cut pokemon Crocky?
Looks like grimers pre evo more than magcargosSlugma over here looking like a Digimon
Don't expect clear explanations of any of this for quite some time, there's way too much in these.
Also somebody just found some Spaceworld-era unused Pokemon in the Korean source too so those should be showing up shortly. There's apparently 48 of them, numbered 300-448 alongside the Spaceworld ones we already saw two years ago.

Excellent stuff in here. Someone uploaded an album of all the Silver and Gold sprites.

Now I want to see the maps to find out if this is the one with the original Lake of Rage concept.

This leak is the holy grail confirmed.
EDIT: One of the builds is in the process of changing the Elite Four roster from the '97 lineup to the final one. All the rooms are different, Will is Giovanni (with coloured Yellow sprite), Koga is actually Agatha with new sprite(!), with Lorelei is still the final E4 member (also with new sprite!).

Those spikes on Cyndaquil's back makes me wish these sprites were in color, because I'm starting to think that's ice.
Yeah that caught my eye too, the spikes remind me a lot of Alolan Sandslash

Holy crap, what is 401? It looks like a bone dragon.
Also is 440 another Eevee?

It was in the Spaceworld 97 demo so we know more about it, including it's name
Dark type, named Berurun, evolved from rinrin at level 28.
it's the evolved form of 365 (Rinrin or whatever, the cut bell cat)
Oh my, there are even more Pokémon left to be discovered there! The mouse with gigantic ears, the mosquito... all those from 397 to 407!
402 reminds me of a Pol's Voice from Zelda
407 seems to be based on a sakura blossom? Probably eventually turned into Cherrim later down the line.
I wonder if 412 was turned into Dunsparce. Some of the protosprites from that "inbetween" build are similar and it is a fat snake. If so, 415 was likely its evolution.
