Beta Unused Content of Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire + Emerald | Cut Content

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

To all asking about the recent leak, yes i'm aware and yes this adds a LOT to Gen 3 games. As a result, I planning ot make a Part 2 to this video to cover all that we know of the Gen 3 parts of that leak there. Once we have it as decoded as we can, i'll plan to make that video! Stay tuned!

[@_kadoodles_]

I wonder if "Lottery" was meant to evolve into any other Pokemon, chosen at random. The fact that evolution is its major feature in its dex entries yet it doesn't have anything to evolve into struck me as odd, and it being able to change into literally anything would match the lottery theme and explain why its dex entries marvel so much at how drastically it can change shape!

[@Bokatrice]

The Archeopteryx Pokemon - being Rock/Flying, actually feels more like an early version of Archeops more than Grovyle in my opinion, especially given the exact dinosaur it seems to be based on. It seems the idea was re-purposed for gen 5.

[@pentagonyx]

Which would mean that for both the Gen 5 fossils, it's possible that they looked back on old beta designs and such for inspiration. Remember that one magazine with creatures that looked vaguely liek Hitmontop, Tyranitar, and Tirtouga?

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Something about Gen 3. For obvious reasons, it has massive "Pokemon going from the 90s to 2000's" vibes. Like it a lot though. Lots of greatness came out in these years

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

It was truly the transition point in the series it feels. I do remember alot complaining of the designs back when it first game out too lol

[@HesGotaGun505]

The Red Spider Lily pokemon became the Ralts line. There is even a nod to this in ORAS. When battling Wally at the end of Victory Road, the battlefield is surrounded by red spider lilies which appear nowhere else in the game.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

That's quite a stretch I say. Different species, big type, colour. But maybe a super slight chance

[@HesGotaGun505]

@@TheObsessiveGamer it’s mostly in the dex entries about these Pokémon using their antenna to read thoughts, being similar to the entries for Ralts in RSE, as well as the detail that only females of the species have been found. Gardevoir is easily the most overtly feminine Pokémon since Jynx, I think there is a good chance that this ladylike lily was reworked into Gardevoir.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@HesGotaGun505 you know Ralts also come in male form too right?

Considering they're both 6'7 and seemingly only one stage, maybe those two bird Pokemon were counterparts?

Beta Latios and Latias I reckon. In line with the Latikin we saw in the scrapped art... It seems 'sightseeing' later became soaring.

[@LinkNinjaMaster]

7:52 Ah yes, Pokémon Sword & Shield, a classic Gen 6 game.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

my mistake lol got my gens mixed up there for a moment

[@Cyndarion0ne]

11:35 Its likely it was repurposed as Archen. Rock/Flying Its more than likely they just reused the art asset for Grovyle and made a new one for later gens. It's likely the cut dragonfly is a different starter line for Flygon, though Yanmega being added a gen later could also be a good point. We do know that they speculated on Gen 3 and 4 being "ultimate pokemon" and having comprehensive generational coverage, so by that logic we could also argue Mamoswine was planned for gen 3 and they ran out of room. Gen 4 dex as a whole had a lot of leftover pokemon from previous gens.

That Bird that could repel the clouds and reveal the sun looks very similar to Staraptor.

[@marche800]

That foster pokemon is really interesting. Real big cats have actually been observed exhibiting this behavior in cerrain situations. Particularly the adopting a random species thing. Then scrapping this detail between the earlier snd later dex entries could be a big reaspn why the Pokemon was scrapped altogether. If the whole point was to represent this phenomenon in nature but it was deemed too questionable to include this detail, they might have felt the line had lost it's purpose.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

oh that's a good point. Yeah I can see that being a major reason why it was dropped. Shame since it's a really neat idea

[@AdvanceAudio]

The Pokémon beta games are truly an enigmatic an interesting mystery that always is a great topic of investigation.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

That they are. Really wasn't expecting Ruby and Sapphire to go this neck deep in the mystery that was unravelled here

[@ejokurirulezz]

generally scrapped beta helps you understand the thoughts of graphics designers.

[@shapelesslord2]

13:57 worth noting that Rayquaza is based on the Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl (known also as "the feathered serpent" who has an association with wind and the colour white, among many other things). i think this may have been a more straightforward first draft of that, but i like your theories about its origins and the original art of it!

[@stardmg]

The early Shellos seems to have traits from both variants that eventually appeared in DP. The bumpy Gastrodon is really weird though.

[@miguelyanezlorenzo5037]

The Flower pokemon may have been a beta version of Ralts, since it is also said to read human emotions or minds and Wally's family is from Verdanturf town, which has a lot of vegetation and large flower patches next to it. Plus, Ralts' legs seem almost stuck to the ground and its whole line has a very plant-like green color, which may be a leftover from early designs as a plant/psychic pokemon.

[@ajtriforcegamerofhyrule8538]

That's a pretty good speculation. Ralts, Kirila and Gardevoir always had a plant vibe going on

[@insertcoolnamehere937]

It should be noted that in the unused music thats of gen 2 songs there are only ever about 4 instruments/channels playing at once, the same amound of channels that could be played at once on the gb/gbc (2 pulse wave tracks, 1 wave sample track, and a noise channel). The gba was capable of playing more channels than just four at once with many of the songs in the game taking full advantage of this. I believe all of this adds further credibility to the possibility of those gen 2 songs just being ported over for testing and placeholder purposes.

[@CirclesForever]

the small oni pokemon that absorbs electricity with its horn sounds like a member of the Electabuzz line, which may explain why it was scrapped if it was deemed too similar to Elekid

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Electabuzz may not be an imp, but I did instantly notice the similarities. I can see this being a major reason

[@TheDarkFuryKnight]

A lot of the drawing looked cool, if they looked close to them, it would have been cool to have them

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

The artist did an amazing job on these and their interpretation. I personally would be very happy if they looked like yhosey

[@stardmg]

Missingno. did have a dex entry at one time, but only in the Japanese versions of Pokemon Blue and Yellow, with the dex simply stating "comment to be written". The text wasn't translated in any localization, which is why you get a completely broken, glitchy entry in those versions.

[@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854]

8:25 I was thinking it looks like a bulbasaur. "Looks like a new take on Gloom" damn ok that too lol

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I meant as in the stink factor, not the literal design lol

[@starlite_music-g1s]

I know you've seen the teraleak already, but it's pretty fun to look back at what we thought these designs were before, especially with stuff like the Hawk pokemon being Latiken and the Dragonfly pokemon just being an early Flygon

[@SuperLucky7]

There actually were e-Reader cards released for that room. My brother and I each got a card with our copies of the game, and I bought a pack of those cards at a store that was basically a GameStop (and eventually became an actual GameStop). They even had another different pack of those cards at the store.

[@NorthSutherland]

10:14 There's but one Pokemon that fits that description: "Latiken" Also, the Dragonfly Pokemon has to be Beta Yanmega from DP's beta, and Shrub > Water Moss (both their descriptions line up with each other).

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I would say it is possible, but this guy is described to have horns. Latiken doesn't have horns

[@NorthSutherland]

@@TheObsessiveGamer The back of its head. It doesn't have to be generic horns (as shown in that mock-up design).

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@NorthSutherland I took that more as a tuft of feathers much like the final Latias and Latios

[@NorthSutherland]

@@TheObsessiveGamer Maybe, but the description matches what was essentially beta Latias all too well. And we still don't know what the "Cockfight" Pokemon was supposed to look like.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@NorthSutherland The description is pretty generic tbh outside the horn we aren't told much else and most flying Pokemon are capable of giving flight too. I don't feel this is enough to point Latikento this one. I personally think Latiken was simply the beta design of either Latias or Blaziken back then before finalized

The foster pokemon really reminded me of drakloak, especially with the shield dex entry "Without a Dreepy to place on its head and care for, it gets so uneasy it’ll try to substitute any Pokémon it finds for the missing Dreepy."

[@ThisguySL]

I like "Foster" a lot. For one thing, it's funny because big cats usually seek out young animals as prey but this one decides to adopt kids by force if it doesn't have one of its own. Also, it reminds me of that one real-life lioness who had a cub that died so it would adopt baby animals that it would otherwise see as prey and try to raise them in the cub's place. But it never worked for long and they usually got picked off by other lions, so that's too bad.

[@birdmanip]

11:47 the archeopteryx Pokémon? That would have to be yet another early gen 5 mon, Archen and Archeops. I mean it's in the name lol

[@nofreenameforme123]

Hawk and Sightseeing Sound like a very early idea of Latias and Latios.

[@Hex.A.Decimal]

Agreed, and "sightseeing" sounds like a soaring feature.

[@stardmg]

I don't think "No special ability." was really meant to be had by a Pokemon. It was likely always meant as a "blank" placeholder, similar to how all move index lists start with "--" as the first "move", or all Gens have a placeholder "Pokemon" that shows up when you try to call Pokemon number 0.

[@RealmsCrossMyths]

The Archeopteryx pokémon at timestamp 11:30 seems like a beta Archeops, maybe?

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

[@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried]

[@Eyevou]

Combo moves would have been CRAZY! It would have added so much depth to the combat system. I think they scrapped it because of how unlikely people would have been to use them since they took so much setup. I seem to recall the anime trying using a type of combo-system with characters training their pokemon together strengthening their bond.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Makes me wonder if they took influence from the anime on that? But yeah double battles also not being proven may be another factor I imagine

Gust + Ember becoming Heat Wave is so cool! It's like an early version of the pledge moves being used in tandem to make a new effect. I bet they just had trouble implementing the combo effects so early on, and that it would function similarly to Grass Pledge + Fire Pledge. They added a lot of interesting tricks, like Gust (and Twister I think?) dealing 2x damage to Pokemon using Fly and Earthquake and Surf hitting Pokemon that Dig and Dive for 2x damage respectively. They really revolutionized battle mechanics even before the physical/special split.

Maybe they could repurpose Water Moss into a convergent or regional form for the Bulbasaur line. Also I like the “evolves” at a random level idea. Maybe you only obtain it at level 1 and each one evolve at a random level between 2 and 100. Obviously its evolution would be strong.

When he was talking about the moss pokemon i immediately thought of the paradox amoonguss, and then he said a gloom, and i was like "wow. How? 😂" Also i think the lottery pokemon might be tied to the lottery systems in the game. Like gen 4, in jubilife city where you can do the lottery thing. Maybe it would have a handful of different forms, like rotom does. But instead of it being a normal/everything combo like rotom. It would have just stayed a normal type, but its form changed its stats. So it could be a tanky pokemon, a fast support, or a sp atk or atk form, and the form was dependent on how good your lottery was
