Genga
Genga (Japanese: 原画 literally "original pictures") is a term used to describe the Key Animation drawings used in 2D animation. They are the moments that define the motion within a cut of animation drawn by the Key Animator, and are often corrected by those higher up on the production team, such as Animation Directors, (also known as Animation Supervisors) Chief Animation Directors, or Character Designers. They are then traced by in-between (Japanese: 原画 "douga") artists, who also draw the missing frames following the notes left by the Key Animator for timing and frame-pacing.
Occasionally, this production material is released officially, and in some instances, by staff on the series after their work has been completed.

Settei
Settei, (Japanese: 設定 literally "setting materials") is a term used to describe detailed reference material of designs and visuals from a variety of angles, given to artists from supervisors in their field.
Often, the settei officially released by The Pokémon Company in various art books are slightly different than the original settei, as can be seen below with Hapu from Pokémon Sun and Moon.
