SOMEBODY FOUND THE HOLY GRAIL
THE LONG LOST 1997 SPACEWORLD VERSION OF POKEMON GOLD/SILVER
THE ONE WITH THE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STARTERS AND A BUNCH OF UNUSED POKEMON AND STUFF
LOOK AT WHAT WE MISSED OUT ON
some highlights after going through all the sprites and leaked info:
- tangrowth, leafeon, lickilicky and mime jr. were already conceptualized this early, though they all got pretty major redesigns by the time they actually got released
- there was a ‘heart stone’ and ‘poison stone’ which was apparently how you got Espeon and umbreon, so most likely the friendship mechanic wasn’t implemented yet. umbreon is poison type, which is somewhat reflected in its current pokedex entries
- vulpix, growlithe, grimer, goldeen, doduo, tangela, paras, ponyta and meowth all had baby forms
- weepinbell had a split evo line similar to gloom
- farfetch’d, ditto and pinsir had evolutions
- farfetch’d’s evolution in particular seems to be some kind of goose dominatrix
- porygon2 had a wildly different design that’s apparently a parody of a Japanese donut shop mascot:
- qwilfish had an evolution that looks like it might have been repurposed as stunfisk in gen 5
- slowbro/slowking’s shellder was available as a standalone pokemon (!!!) though it doesn’t seem to be related to either shellder or slowpoke by evolution. might just be bugged/not have been implemented yet, since a few other evo lines seem to be broken.
- bayleef was… something completely different
- there’s an eel/anglerfish that was almost certainly retooled into huntail for gen 3
- girafarig had a really cool looking pre-evo, was originally normal/dark, and its tail head was a full sized extra head with a more sinister expression
- there’s a VOODOO DOLL THAT EVOLVES INTO A JIANGSHI PANDA come on gamefreak why did you hide this from us
- also ice type werewolves
Porygon2 was just Spurdo.

i can’t stop thinking about that one japanese guy on youtube who makes kitchen knives out of basically everything
also sometimes he just posts stuff like this
Fun fact: the pasta kitchen knife he made could slice better than the carbon fiber kitchen knife me made. In fact, it’s one of the strongest knives he’s made at all
