Baby vulpix was ahead of its time in a very specific way: Vulpix is banned in little cup because of how strong drought is, so giving it a baby form could have alleviated that by making it much weaker. Very interesting. I wonder if we would have also had a baby growlithe at some point?

It does look way better but the final Magby looks like a more natural pre-evolution for Magmar. The butt head the evolution line has may look really stupid but it's also part of their charm.
So in short the beta Magby is a better Pokemon but the final Magby is a better MAGMAR pre-evolution.
I do kind of wish we could get a regional form or something though using the beta Magby design. Perhaps it could be a Fire/Grass type due to the spikes on its head somewhat resembling blades of grass.

completely disregarding the novelty of it being an "inappropriate" element for the animal but appropriate for the theming (circus acts using fireballs or rings of fire)
Possibly not even a rework as it had been such a long time and the fire seal was probably only represented by sprites at the time, entirely possible for a different designer to independently come up with popplio.

Popplio sucks compared to Meteor Seal, and that's only because the concept of a flaming meteor is way better than Popplio's bubble. Had that G/S better not leaked, I'd be less soured on Popplio.

So, you liked Popplio (more) when it released?

>>58329173
>being an "inappropriate" element
I mean, Meteor Seal was water/fire, so eh? My point was the entire ball concept showed up later, and unlike Meteor Seal, had a whole performer line to go with it.
>Possibly not even a rework
I would say that, but Gamefreak is known to hold onto concepts for long stretches and then decide to retry them later. Mikon is probably the best example, given it was tried 3 times, from Gen 1 to Gen 4. That's 16~ years of attempting the same exact concept, over and over.
You're right though, rework was perhaps not the greatest wording. Reuse or redid would've been better.

I've seen this design for a long time but literally JUST NOW realized that it has a nest for a body. That's fucking genius!
It doesn't look like a Doduo pre-evolution in the slightest though. Besides being a brown bird it looks NOTHING like Doduo or Dodrio.
I think it would be better as its own seperate Pokemon with its own separate evolutionary line.
Make it Flying/Grass because of the nest body. Preferably the evolutions keep the nest body. Keep it with three heads but make it more unique than Dodrio. Perhaps make it lean even more into the Grass type with its evolutions.

I mean they could always end up making the fire/water seal a regional variant for Popplio. It's not that far off from a possibility.
Plus they've had a water snail with Omastar and a fire snail with Magcargo. Would be cool to have both a water seal and a fire seal.

I genuinely can't decide if this looks better or worse than the official Leafeon.
Though it wouldn't quite fit in with the other Eeveelutions because of the roots for feet. It's a neat idea but all the other Eeveelutions have normal looking feet. It'd break cohesion and feel out of place.

Not sure how to feel about this. It doesn't look bad, just strange.
This type of animation feels more suitable for something like Looney Tunes or something rather than Mario. It's just too cartoony and exaggerated.

What if instead Dodrio only had one head and was Doduno, so it slowly loses them as it evolves. Would kind of go with the Dodo bird theme. Give it some kind of pokedex entry about survival of the fittest that idiots could put on their "Top Ten Darkest Pokemon LORE FACTS" lists.

I imagine it not being three heads. Instead it's 3 individuals just clumped together and tangled in each other's fur. They then evolve into seperate Doduo, gaining a head. And then gain the third head with Dodrio.

So essentally

I've never bothered to post it online, I might though when I finish all of the planning. It also includes things like typing changes, alternate forms, base stats, lore rewrites or tweaks, basically a completely revamped Pokedex using Polished Crystal as a base. I'd want to be completely done with it though, and I keep finding new ways to add or rework mons.

I recently had the idea of making the cut Gen 6 fishmon into a preevo of the beta Sharpedo design and having them be fossils.

I personally actually like babies but I don't like when they give babies to Pokemon who are already weak.
Some of the Pokemon who got babies deserved evolutions instead. Such as Chimecho, Sudowoodo, Raichu (though fortunately he did get 2 Megas now), Wigglytuff, Clefable (before the Fairy type), etc. No need to give babies to Pokemon who are already weak.
However ones like Munchlax, Elekid, Magby, Smoochum, Tyrogue, etc are pretty cool as their evolved forms are decently powerful (for in-game at least). Getting an Electabuzz very early in the game would be too overpowered but an Elekid isn't, allowing you to use that Pokemon earlier in the game.
The beta babies in specific though all seem pretty pointless, I agree with you. None of those Pokemon are strong enough to warrant baby forms.
The Tangela baby could actually kind of work as Tangela already has Tangrowth, so it could be like a Roselia thing where it got both a baby and an evolution. But that's it.

Well, the original Substitute from G1 and 2 used the same sprite as the statues, so it was technically Gyaoon. From Gen3 onwards, they swapped it's appearance to that of its pre-evo. Compare this Substitute Doll from Gen 3 with the back sprite of Gyaoon 's pre-evo on the left of >>58358514
After Gen3, they rounded out the doll's features a bit more and shortened the ears/horns to the more chibi version we're familiar with today, but you can see from the Gen3 sprite that it was originally a 1:1 recreation of the little guy.

I don't understand why you fags always say shit like this. Yes, it is OBVIOUSLY prototype buizel. But he prefers the bunny. He thinks it would be fun. Maybe he doesn't even mind buizel. Maybe it would have been cool to have both. Why is it that if something has been replaced, it means nobody could ever like what was replaced? It's the same shit as the fags that would answer "why don't we have a dolphin mon yet" with "we have kyogre". Shut the fuck up, dude. Stop being a mindless drone. Hell.

I wonder if in a different universe where these prototype designs were the official designs and the official designs were the prototype designs if we would be missing the official designs from our universe.

To be fair, prototype designs ARE official - they're just not final.

beta pokemon in general for some reason give off really mysterious vibes. and it seems as if the beta mons from the earlier generations seem even more mysterious. basically the older the beta pokemon the more mysterious

Blaziken + Latias, and the round electric tiger are my favorites. I wonder what was the reason to cut the tiger off.

gen 1 and gen 2. let's not forget a lot of the beta mons that were intended to be in gen 2 were also intended to be in gen 1 but got scrapped in gen 1 as well

a lot of people also don't seem to grasp that a big chunk of the betamons didn't get scrapped because of their designs not being up to snuff so much as just the game having a limited dex needing to be trimmed down based on game balance, preference, or other designs fitting more
kotora's a good example. it's definitely among the most popular betamons and survived the jump from gen 1 to gen 2 with minimal changes, which means they were likely pretty satisfied with its design from the get-go, but in both instances it was directly competing with other monotype electric mammal pokemon, and keeping both would have required them to sacrifice other pokemon they would otherwise have no issue with. hell, I could easily have seen it being swapped out for pikachu and used as a mascot instead.

but I can guarantee that if the first two gens had enough storage to throw in a few more dex slots, they would have been filled with scrapped designs with minimal changes if any

I like goofy designs like this. I think there's some space in the Pokedex for them, but also I recognize that such silly designs weren't really allowed in Pokemon at the time.
