Ranking EVERY Cut Pokémon From Worst to Best - Pokémon Teraleak

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Which cut Pokemon is your favorite? 👀

[@franji4998]

The mermaid one, looks like it had potential if it could be fleshed out a bit but I guess Gamefreak managed to do that and called it Primarina.

[@ShadyRK9]

The bowling pin penguin. They really need to make that real! And reuse the concept of it being rivals with Spheal! 🎳

The smol peanut Pokémon

[@HoopsandHipHop]

@ excellent choice 👌

[@HoopsandHipHop]

@@ShadyRK9 I totally agree!!

[@_guillermo]

They cut the peanut dino because the name “Peanusaur” raised some flags

[@i.f.llamas3922]

Red Flags about been Fake? Coz none reliable information out there about been cuts from Pokemon and GameFreak having leaks with all those (suspiciously extremely detailed) designs... But many have been uploaded for years now on some platforms.. and never been claimed as that thing... Not the first time fake news make ppl believe Fan Made Art belongs to GameFreak, when It's NOT. Even magazines have been under those fake leaks and take them as real news in the past. Nothing scapes from the security system and restrictive contracts the (very small group of) designers have with GF. No personal devices are allowed in the work rooms. The designers allowed (by contract) the company to monotirized their personal devices. A single de search on their personal phone under words like "fakemon" or "fan made poke" is not only an instant fired, but a legal situation that can bring you even to jail by jap law and for sure ruins your life. NOTHING leaks from GameFreak further than what they allowed to get "leaked". Period ✌🏻😉

[@Lxthargy]

I love how you say the peacock pokemon is "straight up a peacock" when we have Flamigo LOL

[@-d_9894]

Flamigo is a lawn flamingo, a pool floaty, and a boxing glove, and it stores fighting aura similar to lucario but by tying itself up to tie into that inflatable inspiration of the design. That is ten times more creative than the generations of Pidgeys and Pidoves and other birds that actually are 'just normal birds' that literally no one ever had a problem with. Laziest bandwagon ever.

[@RoninCatholic]

Minccino is one of my favorites and it's just a chinchilla. The boxing gorilla is more of a concept than the Slakoth line are, as it's animal + element and not just animal and that's it.

[@Impulse001]

And Seel. And Goldeen. And Ekans. And Caterpie. I can do this for a while. Pokemon that are basically just an animal are nothing new.

[@NintendoSegaGuys]

And pidove.

[@wdwdwdw21]

[@Onyxs]

Those diving beetles were most likely repurposed into the Wimpod line. I was a big fan of the Unown golem and the fossil Cassowary line personally, they both looked awesome

[@dundee6402]

??? Wimpod is a giant isopod, it has absolutely nothing to do with a diving beetle.

[@pussmagic1541]

Those diving beetles alongside with the dinosaur birds with skulls on their heads would actually be really awesome as the Paldean Fossil Pokemon.

[@ickaman2955]

I really feel like the "hippo" pokemon inspired Snom.

[@bewearstar9462]

It also looks like beta hippopatos

[@NightFuryLover31]

The cut Mon at 14:19 reminds me of Elfilin from Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The chameleons are cool, and I never would have expected a bowling pin penguin to go along with Spheal!

[@jakecookie5448]

I think Pokemon should revisit these designs that people liked a lot and should add them back😔

[@ricksdarkness3257]

[@WilliamAfton-n7d]

I genuinly love the cassowary pokemon. It was fully done and the fact that it got cut is so sad. Really hope they bring it off the backburners for gen 10 (cope)

[@WilliamAfton-n7d]

Also the bookmark bird looks fantastic

[@genkaiba15]

23:41 For a very long time, I wanted Spinda to evolve into a sort of grizzly, almost Ursaluna-esque bear named Spizzly. I know it's no grizzly bear, but until this guy gets an official name, I am totally calling this thing Spizzly. ❤

[@smokeybones1977]

Nahh, Foot-Yeti is a top-tier design

[@Nashaliya]

28:28 flamigo is way better, just cuz flamingos are pink doesnt mean they should be feminine, and boxing gloves is awesome

[@-d_9894]

THANK YOU! I feel like I am going insane seeing people purposefully ignore every inspiration and creative design element of Flamigo just to praise a zero effort, zero thought, generically elegant design. Nobody has any issues with generic birds for 8 whole pokemon generations and suddenly a lawn flamingo/pool floaty/boxing glove inspired design that ties in the inflatable design inspiration by literally tying itself up to not let it's fighting aura escape is 'too similar to the real animal'? And the solution is just to put it in heels because pink=girl? So glad TPC scrapped that awful design and waited until they could think of something as creative as Flamigo instead. Fans would run this franchise into the ground if they were in charge.

[@weaponizedemoticon1131]

I like Flamigo, but I don't know that we need to trash this flamingo design to like Flamigo. And yes, I know it goes the other way. I would be happy with either, but even happier with both. Especially if they were regional forms of each other.

[@UmatsuObossa]

I personally really love Flamigo. It really encapsulates looking like a flamingo but also a boxing glove but also looks like a lawn flamingo AND also like a balloon animal. It's simple but REALLY executed SO well.

[@zachsmith1634]

I can’t help but to think the bowling pin penguin looks more like a bowling pin chicken 🤣🤣

That’s exactly what I see in that design. It’s basically a bowling pin chicken 🐔

[@dragonlord6484]

Will you do a seperate video on the beta designs then?

[@wispyfox6854]

28:40 that fish is most likely based on a Remora, those fish that stick to other fish and whales since they also have those flat top heads and it might've been cut since its also what inspired remoraid or who knows i can kinda see this being an alternate evolution to Remoraid but i wonder why it was cut if so...

[@bearmarion93]

Cutting the bowling pin penguin feels like a goddamn crime. It was literally perfect.

[@saudisinaudis]

Floaty head bubble guy looks like a clefairy wearing the covert cloak maybe an alternate evolution?

[@Faniwa828]

16:32 That electric dog also had some WIP sprites too

[@soysauce9940]

The bowling pin penguin should've been paired with like a snow ball blowing ball pokemon of some kind and maybe even a professional bowler pokemon to make it a trio

[@dundee6402]

That was actually the case! Spheal was originally designed to be a bowling ball sealion enemy of the bowling pin penguin. They probably abandoned this idea when Zangoose/Seviper came into the picture as the go-to rivalry duo. They removed the penguin, and redesigned Spheal to look less like a bowling ball and gave it a family.

[@JorgeLuiz487]

It would be funny if people made an entire fake pokemon tcg set just based kn this guys and what we know of them

[@Luigicat11]

Y'know what, I'mma give all of these quick names for fun: WORST: 1: Entreetainer (because clowns are entertainers and it's a tree stump clown thing) 2: Kongobongo (because is monke and it hits things) 3: Mermancholy (mermaid/merman + melancholy, as it looks rather glum) 4: Grinstar (because it's a star that grins) 5: Uppanatum (the cymbals and bottom of its foot remind me of eggs, and noise plus eggs makes me think of a general "waking up" vibe) 6: Snowmit (pine trees and snow are often associated with mountains, plus it kinda looks a little like a mountain) 7: Schomp (because feet stomp and teeth chomp) 8: Peaflock (take a wild guess) 9: Giftort (it's a tortoise that is also a gift) 10: Justadog (I thought taking "We have what I like to call 'just a dog' because basically this is just a dog" as an actual naming suggestion would be funny) 11: Polursine ('cause he polar, and he bear) 12: Aurumeye (It looks like it could be a Sableye evo and its eyes are golden) 13: Lilichthy (Looks like it could be related to Lileep and Cradily, and it's got the head of a fish) 14: Solamari (squid with sun markings) 15: Mantish (mantis shrimp thing) 16: Dreamyst (kinda looks like Kirby in the face area, so y'know, Dreamland and whatnot, and it's got a cloak like a mystic) I'll do the other chunks later.

[@nickdentoom1173]

Gorilla either was inspiration for the Chimchar/Grookey lines or became Passimian. Mermaid Pokemon 100% became Primarina. The Christmas tree can have become Snover/Abomasnow, however, looking at the color of the feet and the way the arrms are positioned, it probably also served as inspiration for Duraludon. The one after that makes more sense for Snover. Looking at the color scheme, the present turtle might have been inspiration for Terapagos. The Dog probably became Stoutland.
