  • Cut Pokemon designs have been leaked in droves over the past couple years, and are easily some of the most fascinating pieces of Pokemon content out there. We've learned about so many cut designs recently, so I thought it would be fun to rank every single one of them that we know about so far from worst to best in my opinion! It'll be fun to give you my thoughts on these cut Pokemon as well as discuss them a little too, so I hope you enjoy the video!

    17:45 The voodoo doll evo seems to be a fusion of a panda and a jiangshi (Chinese zombie)
    19:30 snake pokemon based off a yokai known as a tsuchinoko. Later replaced with dunsparce.
    19:44 looks to be based on Japanese cherry blossoms. Probably reused with the cherrim line in gen 4.
    20:39 Probably a fusion of the Loch Ness monster and a viking warship.
    21:33 definitely based on a yurei (lit. faded soul). The hitaikakushi (lit. forehead cover) is a huge give away, and those two "water droplets" are hitodama (lit. human soul) often seen depicted with Japanese ghosts. Japanese version of the will-o-wisps and are balls of fire seen at night. Probably would have been a ghost-fire type.
    25:15 looks like it may have had a connection to the chinchou line at one point, given the lightning bolt design on its head. Or quilfish may have evolved into a water-electric type but was scrapped for the chinchou line.
    26:11 probably reworked into tyrannitar. The green, dinosaur look definitely has similar designs.
    28:01 may have had a connection to the legendary dogs trio. Likely scrapped when Ho-oh was attached to them. Perhaps it could have been a foil to arcanine? A blue lion, possibly ice type, to go against the fiery dog pokemon?
    28:18 possibly a precursor to the mareep line. It looks a bit like flaafy or ampharos.
    29:48 possibly reworked into the tirtuga line. Looks like a fossil pokemon. Would've been a cool fossil pokemon for gen 2. Come on game freak, why not?
    30:34 probably reworked into chatot.

    The "beta castform" isn't a castform at all. It's some sort of ghost. Look up ghosts in anime, and you'll see at least a few wearing that triangle headpiece. Those "droplets" are probably little flames similar to the ones in the animation for the move Hex.

    The Raccoon pokemon is worriedly scurrying around, carrying a log pack on its back, which is on fire. Super Mario Sunshine has a similar thing, some piantas run back and forth carry packs with mushrooms on their backs which are on fire, and you have to put them out.
    The cursed doll is meant to be the physical embodiment of the move Curse, it tries to evolve into the panda at EVERY level, and you have to use the B-button method to stop it, as i you're pushing its pin back in yourself.
    The panda itself is based on the jiangshi, a vampire/zombie monster that hops towards you with its arms stretched out.

    7:59 its an elephant
    17:44 the evo is a jiangshi, a japanese spirit Who wears blue with a similiar hat that has the Yellow "ticket" with writings on it covering part of its face, and they move by jumping with their legs attached (Like this pokemon's legs)
    And obviously a panda (with vampire teeth?)
    18:39 his name is tangtrip and was supposed to evolve into tangela obviously and then still in gen 2, tangrowth which instead of only being able to see its eyes you could only see its smile
    19:35 its probably a tsukinoko, a fat poisonus snake yokai (which is the inspiration for dunsparce so maybe he was a beta dunsparce)
    19:47 it looks Like a beta cherrim
    21:04 yes yes. They are the coolest pokemons Who NEED to be revived
    And they are based on werewolf probably. They were scrapped
    26:22 Godzilla 27:22 mega godzilla
    They were cut because of them Just being godzillas
    28:19 its probably that dinosaurs that ram eachothers head into the other to fight (i dont remember its name) that and eggs, so thats why it has a giant cracked egg on its head, because it fought. It also has many others, one on his tail, two on his shoulders and many salmon eggs under the head egg Like a crown

    I love those little round Tigers, they're spherical.... SPHERICAL!
    The Dunsparse looking pokemon looks like a tsuchinoko (a fat snake cryptid from Japan), which is what Dunsparse is based on. So maybe it's a beta design of Dunsparse.

    17:49 That panda looking doll comes from Chinese mythology, not Japanese.
    That's a Chinese vampire that only moves around by hopping around (hence the pose), it also has a spell tag on its body (sometimes face, sometimes chest) which is what binds that creature to its curse. It can not remove it on its own.
    I think it can only find you by your breathing and the amount of noise you make but I'm not 100% sure of that one. A character heavily inspired on this is Hsien-ko from Darkstalkers/Marver VS Capcom.

  • @OtakuUnitedStudio
    @OtakuUnitedStudio Рік тому +2

    I remember back when Gold and Silver was announced, there was a flier that included three unknown Pokémon. The beta didn't include any of the three. Masuda said while making it, he didn't intend ANY of them to be "real", and it was a fun "what if" of Pokémon from a different universe as far as he was concerned. Two of them were reworked into Hitmontop (its earliest concept art was more similar, but by the beta was reworked to be less Clefairy-like) and Tyrannitar (which was only minimally reworked, mainly to make its spikes bigger). The third one, a turtle creature, would eventually be used as the basis for Tirtouga in Gen 6.
    I find it kind of amazing how often unused designs end up being revisited. A lot of the cut content in the Gen 2 beta ended up being used later, and it makes me hope we end up getting that weird Ditto evolution.
    EDIT: That "might be a hummingbird" Pokémon is actually based on a flying fish. I love it so much. And the stork-inspired Pokémon finally got reused as Bombirdier in Scarlet and Violet!
    EDIT AGAIN: I am pretty sure the one at 29:40 was reused... as Elfilin in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Jokes aside, it might be an early version of Emolga.

  • @Somarinoa

    Pretty sure that "weird snake" was what eventually turned into Dunsparce, because that is 100% a tsuchinoko. Probably the design got dinged for being too much like the real-world interpretations of the tsuchinoko (which is what Dunsparce is based off of), so they probably went through a re-design and came up with a more Pokemon-like interpretation.

So the first stage would most likely be small while the evolution would be much larger. Also rather than run or walk the hop around with arms out stretched which the evolution looks ready to do.
