Pardon the pun, but Pokémon have evolved over time. In regard to this article, that is to say their designs have changed. Pikachu, for example, used to be chunkier until he was thinned out. There are💝 obvious examples like that but then there are some hidden away, not meant for the public eye.
The following ten entries will take a look at Pokémon that started out completely differently than their final forms. This data, from sprites to artwork, was uncovered in 2018 via the Pokémon Gold/Silver demos from the 1997 Space World event along with the educational manga, Satoshi Tajiri: The Man Who Created Pokémon. It’s time to seeꦗ what secrets these two things ♕uncovered.
10 Aipom
This first version of Aipom was more monkey like in design. That said the hand looks more human like and in-turn creepier. It was a better decision to make it look more fantastical in the final version to make it fit better in the Pokémon world. The artwork on the left was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitt꧒er, as a recreation of the original sprite while the right side is the ꧑final form of Aipom.
9 Bayleaf
The funny thing about this is that the final designs for Chikorita and Meganium ended up the same. So how then could this pod based version of Bayleaf turn into Meganium? It doesn’t make sense. It kind of looks like it hatched⛎ from Ivysaur’s flower. The artwork on the left was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as a recreation of the original sprite whiꩲle the right side is the final form of Bayleaf.
8 Clefairy
The early design for Clefairy is very od𒅌d. It is basically an egg with horns and din🦄osaur like arms and legs. Based on the design, especially with the crusty appendages, this could have perhaps been an idea for a baby Kangaskhan.

7 Elekid
Elekid was the baby form of Electabuzz and looks more adult than the other babies introduced in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Gold/Silver. This is an alternate take on the design, but because it looks more like an egg, this could suggest it was supposed to go from this t🦩o Elekid and then to Electabuzz. Logic aside this looks very silly. The artwork on the left was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as a recreation of the original sprite while the right side is the final form of Elekid.
6 Girafarig And Twinz
This is actually a combo. First of all, Girafarig was going to have an identical twin in the back instead of the weird head that the final design got. On top of that, it was going to have a first form, Twinz. Thankfully Twinz was 🏅cut and was instead sort of combined into the final version. The artwork was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as recreations of the original sprites of Girafarig and Twinz.
5 Ivysaur
The final version 𓃲of Ivysair has Bulbasaur’s bud slightly spouting which would them fully bloom with Venusaur. It all made sense. However, the first draft had Ivysaur seemingly weighed down by the tree that suddenly spouted from its back.
This made it look like flat roadkill and thus rather ridiculous. The artwork on the left was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as a 🌞recreation of the original drawing while the right side is 𓆉the final form of Ivysaur.
4 Pichu
Many of the babies introduced in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Gold/Silver were round in design such as Igglybuff. In that case the evolved form of Jigglypuff is round so it made sense. What didn’t was this first draft of Pichu. From Elekid to this, it almost seemsꦰ like the team at Game Freak were copying the bab🅺y forms of certain Digimon. Pichu looks awkward. The artwork on the left was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as a recreation of the original sprite while the right side is the final form of Pichu.
3 Porygon 2
The first form of Porygon was kind of duck shaped but one that was super polygonal hence the name. This was solidified by the final version of Porygon 2 as it looked even more like a duck. However, the first draft had it look like a lion. It actually resembles Kon from Bleach for those anime fans out there. The artwork on 🤡the left was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as a recreation of the original sprite while the right side is the final form of Porygon 2.
2 Sneasel
Sneasel’s original design was more weasel like in nature. The only exaggerated feature were its arms and claws. It was cute, but also plain. Similar to Aipom, the redraft of Sneasel made it look more fantastical to seemingly fit better with the imaginative world of Pokémon. The artwork on the leཧft was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as a recreation of the original sprite while the right side is the final form of Sneasel.
1 Spearow
In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Blue players could catch Pidgey while 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Red players could catch Spearow. Both were birds without much difference to them. However, this early design says something different. Spearow looks inspired by Raphael the Raven, one of the bosses from Yoshi’s Island. This version’s squat like nature is adorable. The artwork on the left was drawn by Rachel Briggs, or @RacieBeep on Twitter, as a recreation of the original drawing while the right side is the꧙ final form of Spearow.
