Talk:List of unused Pokémon and character designs
This page needs to be renamed, to something like "Unused Artwork" or "Unused Concept Art", due to the fact that somethings are not Pokémon. Also, am I the only one who sees a massive relation between Raichu and Honouguma, Cyndaquil? Nah it looks to me to be more of a possible Raichu evolution. - Ferret 19:32, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)
> Why would Raichu evolve into a Pokemon without "chu" in it's name, who according to it's own name is a Fire-type?
They were trying something different maybe? It just seems to bear an amazing resemblance. - Ferret
So, Bublapedia has an article about Unreleased Pokémon, huh? Now all we need is an article on Fake Pokémon. - Pokencyclopedia
Validity issues
I've always found those sketches rather dubious now that I think about it. Where did they originally come from? Is there any proof at all that they are original concept art? - Ferret 22:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent question. However, I do know I remember seeing them way back then on PokéFor (note the fine print on the images) around the release of G/S. - 振霖T 02:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- The ones that were obviously scanned look like Sugimori's style, especially the trainers. So, at the very least, "Unnamed Mammal" and "Unnamed Turtle" are real. One can even see the turtle with Tyranitar in the Male Trainer art. I don't know what those other rough sketches are, though. They aren't Sugimori. --Argy 05:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Commentary issues

The Unnamed mammal has been said to resemble Hitmontop or Meowth

Kurusu
This creature resembles a seal, but doesn't seem to have much relation to any Pokémon as of yet

Unnamed turtle
A turtle Pokémon that was never released. It's possible it was later heavily reworked into Torkoal.
- Am I the only one who sees Swampert's head in there? --FabuVinny 14:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

What website are those pictures from?--Ambipom--
Other names and additional info
Back when Gold and Silver were about to come out, i remember there was an article in Gamepro magazine about the Japanese Gold and Silver that had a LOOONG list of beta Japanese names for the new pokemon, and the same article also had a few temporary English names. The ones I remember: Artibull instead of Smeargle and Xoqo instead of Xatu. Only problem is, that article is long gone. Can anyone help out? --Jurgen200--
