My try on the recently surfaced (unreleased)Pokemon. While I was rather disappointed with the new Switch releases; the
datamining of the demo-versions for gold and silver got me excited! Love
most of the early designs and its unreleased Pokemon. Really hope some
of the Pokemon that didn’t made it into the games (yet) will get a
chance in the future! I plan do try out more of them. For now my try on
the early versions of the 3 legendary beasts. For the longest time I was
confused why they are described as “dogs”, since they (besides Suicune)
rather represent big cats; with Raikou being a (saber tooth)tiger and
Entei a (male)lion.
Seeing the early designs makes more
sense to me since they clearly look like dogs. However, still like their
final designs more, since they look more unique, but I still hope to
see the early versions being reused in one way or another in future.
