Pokemon games have Pokemon inspired by anime, comics, and other games as well. The Pokédex in Pokemon has more than 1000 species and this is a remarkable achievement. Before a Pokemon game gets released, developers work on various factors like designs, features and locations. Designing Pokemon and incorporating them into games will be a challenging task. Though there are thousands of Pokemon, there are still some Pokemon that never made their way to games.
What’s surprising is some Pokemon didn’t launch because their designs were never approved. These Pokemon designs were scrapped even before the game’s launch and some were scrapped during development. Pokemon scrapped designs include Pokemon from all generations and regions. There are also many original Pokemon that never got launched in games. Here are all fan favorite Pokemon designs that were scrapped.
