A interesting third form of Shellos and Gastrodon has been found. This form is likely a leftover from when Shellos and Gastrodon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|were planned]] to be in ''{{pkmn|Ruby and Sapphire}}''. The beta Gastrodon also has various things pointing out from its head in the battle sprite, but is absent from both the [[Gender|male or female]] sprites. Although this may also be another "unofficial confirmation" of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes]] since its [[PokéDex]] data states that its colors and shapes differs from [[region]] to region.

During the planning and development stages of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, several things were going to be a part of the games. Some of them were dropped or changed, but some of those dropped concepts of the beta version can still be found in the game's programming.

Shellos and Gastrodon

A interesting third form of Shellos and Gastrodon has been found. This form is possibly a leftover from when Shellos and Gastrodon were planned to be in Ruby and Sapphire. The beta Gastrodon also has various things pointing out from its head in the battle sprite, but is absent from both the male and female sprites. This may also be another "unofficial confirmation" of Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes since its Pokédex data states that its colors and shapes differs from region to region.

Other beta sprites

There has also been discovered other beta-sprites for Munchlax, Weavile and Cherrim. The Munchlax just seems to be a duplicate from the Munchlax-sprite in Dash. The Cherrim beta sprite was shown in an early Japanese commercial. It is surprisingly like the final sprite, only with the left leg up instead.

Beta maps

A beta map of Spear Pillar has been found. This is surprisingly like the normal game's Spear Pillar, but the entrance to Mt. Coronet is missing. Many also think that the Mystery Zone found in the Pokémon League is a possible beta map.

Beta items

Various items have been discovered by Serebii and various others at Serebii.net and its forums in the coding of D/P. This items can be obtained using Action Replay and other cheating products, but cannot be used. They are:
