Looks like Pallet Town is the only place that is 100% itself lol...

Viridian was nonexistent, Celadon and Saffron turned into just some tall buildings, Pokemon tower in the wrong spot, no port for Vermillion

I mean I realize it's a beta map but lol it's really interesting to see these things
what we potentially could have gotten vs the really big map we got in the end

Yeah, and it was thanks to Iwata compressing Johto (albeit, in the form that made it to the final game) enough so that they could add a much more complete Kanto to the game.

Skarmory, Spinarak, and Donphan were mostly the same.

Sunflora was originally a sunflower rooted in the ground with no legs.

Ariados had a completely different design. Its eyes would be beady with a darker colored head and normal six spider legs. Its back pattern was completely changed.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/8ngme5/the_spaceworld_1997_demo_for_pokemon_gold_was/dzvc9sp/

Girafarig was going to be Dark/Normal

Umbreon was meant to be Poison-type (explains the dex entry)

Ledian was meant to have star-shaped patterns on its body, which explains its category (five-star Pokemon).

Slowbro's shell was meant to be its own Pokemon.

Ampharos was Electric-type in the demo, not Electric/Dragon like the pamphlet said. (They probably changed it.)

Smoochum was meant to be pure Ice.

Sunflora was meant to be Grass/Psychic.

Vulpix, Tangela, Meowth, Ponyta, Goldeen, Paras, Doduo, Grimer, Growlithe, and Girafarig were meant to have pre-evolutions.

Baby Pokemon such as Pichu, Cleffa, and Igglybuff were meant to evolve at Level 12.

Tangela, Qwilfish, Farfetch'd, Pinsir, Lickitung, and Ditto were meant to evolve.

Murkrow's hat was going to actually resemble a witch's.

Sneasel was going to be pure Dark.

Ho-Oh was going to be pure Flying.

Togepi didn't have an evolution.

Snubbull was going to be Psychic-type with no evolution.

Scizor was going to be Bug/Flying.

Houndour and Houndoom were pure Fire.

Weepinbell had a branched evolution.

Bellossom was going to be Grass/Poison.

Politoed, Xatu and Espeon were meant to evolve from Heart Stone.

Umbreon, Gloom and Weepinbell's branch evolution were meant to evolve from Poison Stone.

Slowking was supposed to be an evolution of Slowbro instead of a split evolution of Slowpoke.

Looking through it again...

Baby Goldeen, Baby Paras, Baby Growlithe, and Baby Vulpix were planned as well.

An early Mime Jr.?

And the Slowbro Shellder on its own?

The early Hitmontop just looks creepy...

Glad to see that like its older brother, Pichu also slimmed down.

And yeah, the Pokemon at the end does look like a Grass-type Eeveelution.

What's up with that weird screaming lump next to Skarmory? And the three chicks in a nest next to that?

As well as early designs for those that were used:
https://imgur.com/WPI3Udm

A shame that some of these never saw the light of day again.
But it looks like Pinsir and Weepinbell were slated to get (split, in Weep's case) evolutions after all.

And Smoochum looked far more like Jynx than it ended up being.

Qwilfish was supposed to evolve, to seems.

I don't know what's up with the Chikorita evo.

Because GF is stupid and absolutely would try to turn the main games into this if they wanted to.

I can't even deny this. Masuda has outright said that he loves GO, and with him at the help, the series has become much more simplified over time, especially starting with Gen 6.

A butch lesbian high schooler wrote it for the school's literary magazine, and Malcolm thought it was amazing, but publishing it got him in trouble with the principal (who, to be fair, was an asshole in general) and then the district when the ACLU got involved.

The story goes: A very attractive woman is fed up with being cat-called by construction workers (including such gems as "s*bleep* my d*bleep*!"), so she trains herself to ignore them. One day, after she's trained herself, a construction worker yells out to her but she ignores him. However, he's calling out to her because she's walking across the street while a car's coming, and because she was still ignoring him, she gets hit by the car and--in Malcolm's words--"splattered all over the pavement".

Unsurprisingly, you can't evolve the starter Pikachu or Eevee:
https://twitter.com/SurielVazquez/status/1001656009096552449

So why would you pick Eevee?

The whole point of Eevee is that it has several evolutions.

Yeah, plus it's not like Eevee has too many attack options, either. At least Pikachu gets Electric attacks.

Then again, they could be changing up how Pokemon learn attacks in this game.
