EVERY Cut Pokémon From EVERY Generation That We Know About So Far 

SV would've been a great chance to bring them in as a paradox of Raichu

​@@unknownknightsWould have been cool if Gorochu was a Mega Evolution for Raichu.

@@ionryfulFr

Maybe they’ll add him back as a split evolution

@@ThePatrickCoxand make Raichu EVEN MORE IRRELEVANT

You want me to attempt this video idea?

Then gen 1 would be huge

Could you Imagine if every generation had 300 to 400 pokemon

@@xaviermize4509 that would have made the series a hundred times better than how it is Much more Pokémon to catch. That’s something that should be happening from generation 10 onwards

@@xavierperesno . it would oversaturate the pokedex with tons of filler pokemon , not to mention gamefreak releases a new gen every 3 years , it would be impossible to make so many pokemon that are well rounded and completed in their design within a 3 year time frame ..

pokemon hater

​@@eeveefennecfoxthat makes no sense

Kotora come back plis 😭😭

@@coffe3136 yea

Probably got reworked to Shinx

And Golduck too!

We never even got to see the concepts for Mega Flygon before the design was abandoned, now that I think of it.

i really hope flygon gets a paradox form, i think there’s definitely cool directions with both past or future they could take it

​@Youngapollo47 a past version could be named "Soaring Lizard" and a future version could be named like "Iron Dragon"

Regional variations still leave behind the original pokemon. Qwilfish is still useless even though H-Qwilfish exists, for example.

Yeah also Bombirdier and Lokix are basically a 1:1 old concepts, more Bombirdier since the "locust/shinobi" wasn't even with a comprehensible sprite.

I just want my purple magicarp man😢

​@@thatguymaplewe got shiny feebas tho

I kinda feel like Beta!Suicune would have made a neat Paradox Pokémon.

@@valeriocapannican you elaborate on this?

and then we got Mareep and Flaffy on gen2 when pokemon was already a established brand for this kind of controversy to hit it too hard

In the same game where there's Mewtwo they feared controversy about cloning?

@@valeriocapanni because Mewtwo is a new species, while back then was an outcry that pure clones didn't have souls and shouldn't be permitted for any animals etc

I also see nobody talking about Munna/Musharna being cut from gen 1, since the reference is being made about a Pink Pokemon with a Floral Pattern outside Rock Tunnel (Lavender side).

@@RadeticDaniel don’t forget wooloo and dubwool from generation 8, they too are sheep based Pokemon and they look more like sheep than mareep and flaafy

0'04 obviously

Sugimori

@@oniondesu9633 thanks, I didn't know I spelt it wrong

Oh my god! Can you imagine if this were true? I know it’s not true but it would be insane beyond comprehension for someone or anyone at all to draw a million Pokémon, even more insane 200 million Pokemon! I just can’t imagine a Pokemon game that would possibly have one million Pokemon! Even less 200 million Pokemon! From 100 to 185 or 215 is one thing,but from 1 million to 200 million? That’s impossible to imagine even for me

@@tlst94 good point

even famous people get artblock,I suffer from artblock to so I can feel his pain

Why didn’t they just let somebody else do the art, there are a million concepts online. Disrespecting my boy Flygon

Yes and yes

Meowth actually had a pre evolution in the gen 2 betas look it up its really neat

@@NotSnak I know.

I always wanted a Wobbuffet evolution.

it was likely a sand worm, given the original beta design and the fact that the toedscool line also has the general concept of "take a water line from gen 1 and move it to the land"

@@tlst94 no need to cut features, but reorganizing memory banks. Time to switch between banks was enough to cause some strategic decisions, such as animations or fade outs and fade ins so the player didn't notice a choke when you enter a door for instance. All battle data is in one bank, including trainer teams and evolution/learnsets data to make it fluid while fighting. If you ever tried adding pokemon to NPC parties or adding new species, you realize it runs out quickly. As a curiosity there are reused NPC teams in different maps that I never noticed before trying to edit them 😁

A Pokémon game with a Pokémon with the several hundreds of cut Pokémon only in it’s Pokédex That would be rad

no idea,I think the rabbit sounds cute,they should've kept it,it sounded like a grass type

To be fair, those ones as you said were quite “tenuous” with only circumstantial evidence. In fact I’m not sure where the “middle evo” for Avalugg even comes from.

What if every Gen had 1,000 unique species? While the Pokedexes had a 100-entry limit? So each Trainer had a unique collection? How'd that have been like?

Or even an alternative evolution method

Or Convergent Pikachu gain the oni treatment

He looks more like a past paradox version of Raichu would definitely be better probably a fire/electric Type lol

The first and (maybe) only pokemon to get 4 evolution stages is the mascot of the franchise Doesn't sound like a bad idea

I can see it as Mega Raichu

i'm guessing some of those were probably early designs for stuff like charizard for example (dragon4) some were probably scrapped before their design got finalized,and some got scrapped because of constraints,and well,the electric ball tiger kotora,do i really need to elaborate,it got cut twice and i imagine some were probably repurposed for later generations.

well spoken brother

Maybe the regions that are in the same landmass as unova could be useful for regions with Pokédexes that consists of scrapped pokemon of every kind

Yeah, it's strange we don't have an arctic wolf yet

As unglamorous as this answer is, it's probably for licensing reasons. They tend to go back and use ideas and pokemon from the cut list when making new generations, so I'm sure they wouldn't want to release this list, lest another company takes the ideas and makes IPs out of them as or before they release them in a new generation. That would make for a messy legal situation that's just better to avoid. That's also probably why very old cut pokemon concepts are generally the only ones released, as they're confident that they won't use them by this point.

@@CWCvilleCop Well... thats not true though.. Like... we literally see that Johto had cut a bird, which has 100% been converted into Bombirdier.

@@nickdentoom1173 Yeah the last bit about why they've released old cut Pokemon ideas is just a bit of speculation on my part. It could just be that the creator of these has the right to share them when he wants to, and he's chosen to sometimes. I'm not saying I KNOW the reasons for all this, just that it's typical in the industry, and it makes a lot of sense that they would keep most of them a secret for this reason.

@@nickdentoom1173 the johto betas were never even officially revealed, they got leaked

Unfortunately not. The team that was working on it disbanded. There's been plenty of romhacks based off the Spaceworld 97 version but no one else has taken up fully translating the original.

@@CommanderWiggins Ah, darn... Well, I appreciate you telling me ^^

@@Gamester8000 well if you want a more finalized version with some extra postgame content gold/silver 97 reforged is pretty good

@@Damian-cilr2 Hmm... Maybe I'll look at that, thanks! ^^

@@CommanderWiggins Why'd they disbanded? Why couldn't they be a perfect permanent team? What species are they?

Imagine if Gorochu became a convergent species of Spheal. It is possible as they are both round

I can see why that should happen & all. But GameFreak has to deal with licensing issues. And they probably want to reuse concept art for future Pokémon games. It’s like with artists for films/tv shows, video games, & graphic designers in general to.

⁠@@FireheartSamuraii see Maybe I will be able to see some of those cut Pokémon reworked in Pokémon legends z-a. Especially mega flygon

They could but in reality GameFreak has licensing details to work out. Also GameFreak tends to keep some of these designs on the hand just in case they want to use them for future Pokémon games. It’s pretty common for something like that to happen with all artists for films/tv shows/video games & graphic designers in general.

@@FireheartSamurai It's also not uncommon for designs to be published, and then later reused in a future game or TV series. Star Trek has done this many times, with USS Discovery being a redesigned version of a USS Enterprise designed by Ralph McQuarrie for Planet of the Titans (cancelled, replaced with Phase II, which in turn became The Motion Picture) The Nova class, being based on a concept of the USS Defiant The Valiant Class, another concept of the USS Defiant, used in STO. The Grissom class, which was an early concept for the USS Voyager, also reused for STO. Even a concept versions of the USS Voyager and Enterprise-C, which have been modeled in 3D and released as collectors toys. It can be fascinating when you see scrapped concepts later reused, and as you can see, some with very few alterations from their original concepts, often just fleshed out with added detail to bring them up to specs. There could be political corporate and/or licensing reasons why Gamefreak has chosen to take a private approach with their concept art, but I would imagine that not all of the above designs would have had the opportunity to get fleshed out years later if they had remain locked away on some server, especially the Ambassador and Intrepid classes. And Star Trek design and history would have been the poorer for it.

Yeah true but it’s possible that GameFreak have their reasons why in not wanting to release their designs to the public. I think 1 of those reasons probably have to do with copyright reasons.
