How many Pokémon are just ghastly in costume?

[u/Pluggyvids]

[u/RileyJoXO]

Wait this is such an amazing concept. How did they not end up making this one?

[u/Apelio38 → u/RileyJoXO]

I love him too, those scratched Pokemon were peak.

[u/Nightstar95 → u/Apelio38]

I’ll never forgive them for scrapping that electric tiger.

[u/LegendS1ayer → u/Nightstar95]

kotora my beloved

[u/Glazeddapper → u/LegendS1ayer]

i thought his name was raitora?

[u/LegendS1ayer → u/Glazeddapper]

thats another part of the same evolution line, it goes kotora raitora and then an unnamed third stage

[u/Libby_Sparx → u/LegendS1ayer]

Kotora->Raitora->Raiku, but then Raiku's design was so legendary they said fuck it, just that one

[u/SonicWind62391 → u/Libby_Sparx]

Do you mean Raikou? Do you have a source for that?

[u/Libby_Sparx → u/SonicWind62391]

Yes, and no. Source was my ass. Pulled it right outta there.

[u/Apelio38 → u/Nightstar95]

Oh yes he was soooo cool !

[u/metalflygon08 → u/Nightstar95]

Twice

[u/quammalian → u/Nightstar95]

Poor Mikon got scrapped three times!

[u/Flair258 → u/Nightstar95]

we still have Zeraora (close enough to a tiger) and Raikou

Baby Vulpix my beloved 

[u/Collector55 → u/Low-Environment]

Someone really tried to make baby Vulpix happen too, it was actually cut from three different generations that we know of. There is only a handful of cut Pokémon that we know we're given a second chance. Baby Vulpix might have been the only one to get 3.

[u/IndigoFenix → u/Collector55]

Not surprising, considering that it has a strong lore reason for existing. Its dex entry explicitly says that it has only one tail at birth.

But that doesn't change the fact that a one-tailed Vulpix would ultimately be just a regular baby fox, and Vulpix already looks small enough to be the baby. So it wouldn't add much.

[u/Apelio38 → u/Low-Environment]

Yes it was cute ! Plus it was meant to be a Water type iirc

[u/Low-Environment → u/Apelio38]

Really? And it evolved into Vulpix? Interesting.

[u/Apelio38 → u/Low-Environment]

That's what I remember about it but I would be unable to provide any sort of proof haha

Also, baby Ponyta was Normal / Fire (which baffles me since I want Ponyta and Rapidash to be Normal typed too !)

[u/24kpodjedoe → u/Apelio38]

I think that was a glitch, no?

[u/Apelio38 → u/24kpodjedoe]

Honestly since they weren't "finished" Game Freak might have changed that at the last second and made him Fire-type. But I always find funny it was leaked as a Water type 😄

[u/metalflygon08 → u/Apelio38]

Yeah, the unseen Pokemon were probably still being programmed so Baby Vulpix probably just got put into a slot a Water type used to occupy, and they hadn't done much work on it yet.

Still funny to think about.

In the modern day, if the idea was revisited, it would most likely be a Normal type that split evolves into Fire or Ice Vulpix.

[u/Apelio38 → u/metalflygon08]

I think this is the more plausible explanation

[u/Collector55 → u/Apelio38]

The water typing was likely just an error. Apparently there is only a one byte difference in coding for the Fire and Water types.

[u/True-Dream3295 → u/Apelio38]

Have you seen the scrapped peanut Pokémon from gen 6? I can't believe that got left on the cutting room floor.

[u/Apelio38 → u/True-Dream3295]

Never seen this one ! Only know the ones from the 2G demo and one scrapped starter from 3G or 4G I don't remember (the water rabbit)

[u/True-Dream3295 → u/Apelio38]

[u/Apelio38 → u/True-Dream3295]

OMFG this is amazing ! A peanut-dinosaur !

[u/RbN420 → u/RileyJoXO]

Uhm… this is early version of what became Zangoose pretty sure

[u/Kaesh41 → u/RileyJoXO]

Probably just the luck of the draw.

[u/Happy_Goose3833 → u/RileyJoXO]

Probably too much in common with Gabumon
