Pokémon Sprites
This page contains early battle sprites for various Pokémon during the development of Pokémon Black and White.
Note that the table is only documenting changes between sprites from each revision, with the exception of some cases where a final front/back is from a revision before the other final front/back. If there are two front/back sprites, the first is male and the second is female, as it appears that they would occasionally store earlier revisions of sprites in the "female" sprite slot.
These sprites can be found at trunk/resource/pokegra in the repository.
Final # | Final Name (EN) | Final Name (JP) | Prototype Designs (by revision) | Final Design | Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
494 | Victini | ビクティニ Victini |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | -- | r32596 (2010-4-30) |
Uses what would become Victini's Shiny colors. Front sprite is facing opposite direction from final, has more ovular eyes, lacks dark ear interiors, and isn't performing its signature V sign. Back sprite has a jagged line between the ears and head instead of a fur tuft. |
495 | Snivy | ツタージャ Tsutarja |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r21151 (2010-2-22) |
-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Snivy initially started out looking more teal than green, somewhat resembling its shiny palette in the final game; r11074 fixed some small sprite errors, before r16109 changed the design to that of the finals, though the back sprite is unrefined. r21151 was previously seen in the Oha Suta prerelease trailer, and made the beige underside of Snivy green, before r42375 changed it back. |
496 | Servine | ジャノビー Janovy |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r21151 (2010-2-22) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Servine initially started out looking more teal than green, just like Snivy, albeit looking far closer to its shiny palette in the final game. Initially got some shading and sprite corrections in its first revision, before being entirely overhauled into its final design. |
497 | Serperior | ジャローダ Jalorda |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r21151 (2010-2-22) |
-- | -- | r26853 (2010-3-30) |
Serperior started off much the same way as its pre-evolutions, though it initially did not have a sprite. Its first actual sprite lacks shading, and the second sprite, while using the final design, has a different pose for the tail. This would be changed a month later to the final sprite. |
498 | Tepig | ポカブ Pokabu |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r16132 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r26114 (2010-3-25) |
-- | r42375 front / r26114 back (2010-6-19) |
Tepig started off with a brown and orange color scheme, before being revised into its final design 2 months later; most changes after that were for refining the sprite. r22453 can be seen in a Oha Suta prerelease trailer. |
499 | Pignite | チャオブー Chaoboo |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r16132 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r26114 (2010-3-25) |
r26284 (2010-3-26) |
r28340 front / r26284 back (2010-4-7) |
Initially started off brown and yellow. Just like Emboar and Tepig, is revised into its final sprite 2 months later, with refining to follow. r26114 breaks its back sprite's palette, which is fixed the very next day. |
500 | Emboar | エンブオー Enbuoh |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r16132 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r26114 (2010-3-25) |
r26284 (2010-3-26) |
r26773 (2010-3-28) |
Started off much bulkier, with less detail and ashy, brown skin, with the flames reaching around its backside, like a collar. The next update would give Emboar its final design; most updates afterwards were to refine the sprite (and in the case of r22453 to r26114, making the sprite smaller). r26284 accidentally breaks the back sprite's palette (ironically, right as Pignite's is fixed), which is then fixed 2 days later. |
501 | Oshawott | ミジュマル Mijumaru |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r16216 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | r42375 front / r22453 back (2010-6-19) |
Early front sprite is identical to final save for different shading on the end of Oshawott's tail. Early back sprite has different shading and the bubble shapes on its body fur sit lower in relation to its head. r16216 was previously seen in the Oha Suta prerelease trailer. |
502 | Dewott | フタチマル Futachimaru |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r16216 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | r22453 front / r37255 back (2010-5-25) |
Early front sprite has Dewott holding one of its scalchops. Initial back sprite has a different stance with raised arms and is missing its left whiskers. Next version of the back sprite has the body facing the opposite direction from the final. |
503 | Samurott | ダイケンキ Daikenki |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r16216 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r35755 (2010-5-25) |
r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Samurott changed very little throughout development, with the only substantial change being minor adjustments to the brightness of its skin and shell armor. Humorously, the majority of changes to Samurott's back sprite, aside from its body getting bulkier in r35755, consist of making the left side of its mustache longer. |
504 | Patrat | ミネズミ Minezumi |
r6461 (2009-7-30) |
r6572 (2009-7-31) |
r13709 (2009-12-7) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | r22453 front / r36066 back (2010-5-19) |
Patrat initially had a yellow belly and cheeks, small white and black eyes, a V-shaped yellow stripe on its back, and was chubbier overall than the final. Oddly, r13709's back sprite wasn't updated to reflect the front sprite being redesigned but does have the new color palette applied, resulting in the stripe and tail tip being red. r22453's back sprite is similar to final, but is slightly larger. |
505 | Watchog | ミルホッグ Miruhog |
r6461 (2009-7-30) |
r6572 (2009-7-31) |
r13709 (2009-12-7) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r42375 front / r22453 back (2010-6-19) |
Watchog was initially brown with orange stripes, had fully red eyes, had an orange tail tip instead of white, and didn't cross its arms. r13709 updated the front sprite to the final design, while its back sprite wasn't updated to reflect the front sprite being redesigned with having the new color palette applied; r16109 gave it a new one that consisted of a flipped and slightly modified copy of the front sprite that's missing the strap-like stripes around its arms. |
506 | Lillipup | ヨーテリー Yorterrie |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | -- | r26114 (2010-3-25) |
Lillipup originally looked more similar to Herdier, as it was larger, had a small moustache, and sported a collar-like patch of blue fur around its neck. r22453's design is a rougher version of the final and has a shorter tail. |
507 | Herdier | ハーデリア Herderrie |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r26114 (2010-3-25) |
r37255 (2010-5-25) |
r26114 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Herdier's initial design was less saturated, had a gray nose, and sported a less curved mustache. r22453 adds in the missing facial details, while r26114 ups the saturation but lacks one of its head fur tufts on the back sprite. r37255 adds the missing tuft and is identical to the final back sprite aside from lacking shading on its head. |
508 | Stoutland | ムーランド Mooland |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r26114 (2010-3-25) |
r37255 (2010-5-25) |
-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Stoutland initially had a solid cream-colored mustache, fully dark blue body fur, a red nose, and no claws. r26114's design is similar to the final aside from the facial fur being a bit darker. r37255 lightened the facial fur, but the back sprite lacks shading on most of it and Stoutland's head. |
509 | Purrloin | チョロネコ Choroneko |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r16132 (2009-12-22) |
r21151 (2010-2-22) |
r42375 front / r21151 back (2010-6-19) |
Initially a black-and-white cat with yellow sclera, then had more saturated colors compared to final. Spikes on back sprite persisted until r21151, which is identical to the final apart from one miscolored pixel on the front sprite. The fur colour in r11074 is similar to Purrloin's shiny palette in the final game, although this is more than likely a coincidence. |
510 | Liepard | レパルダス Lepardas |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r21151 (2010-2-22) |
-- | -- | r42375 front / r21151 back (2010-6-19) |
Initially had a bulkier panther-like design with black and red fur. r21151 matches the final except for the front sprite's positioning and shading of its legs. |
511 | Pansage | ヤナップ Yanappu |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r16132 (2009-12-22) |
r23762 (2010-3-10) |
-- | r42375 front / r23762 back (2010-6-19) |
Pansage originally had lime green skin, yellow ear interiors, a much larger mouth, pupils facing to the left than being centered, yellow markings on the back of its head in addition to the front, and three pointy tips on its tail instead of two like the final. This palette would later be repurposed as Pansage's shiny palette. Initially held its hands up to its ears, suggesting that Pansage originally represented "hear no evil" in the elemental monkey trio instead of "speak no evil"; in the final, the former is represented by Pansear. r23762's front sprite is similar to the final aside from how its facial features are oriented. |
512 | Simisage | ヤナッキー Yanakkie |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r16132 (2009-12-22) |
r23762 (2010-3-10) |
-- | r35148 (2010-5-14) |
Initially had a fluffy tail tip, a more aggressive expression, round skin-colored ears, and a more detailed pompadour. r23762 back sprite lacks shading present on the final and has the arms held differently. |
513 | Pansear | バオップ Baoppu |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | -- | r23762 (2010-3-10) |
Pansear's red fur was initially orange, the interior of its ears were cream-colored instead of orange, and its head fur looked swirlier from behind. Initially held its hands up to its mouth, suggesting that Pansear originally represented "speak no evil" in the elemental monkey trio instead of "hear no evil"; in the final, the former is represented by Pansage. |
514 | Simisear | バオッキー Baokkie |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r23762 (2010-3-10) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Simisear was originally very rotund and had one hair tuft instead of three, skin-colored inner ears, and a much larger tail than the final. Later sprites are much closer to the final aside from altered shading and positioning of the tail on the back sprite. |
515 | Panpour | ヒヤップ Hiyappu |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r23762 (2010-3-10) |
-- | -- | r42375 front / r23762 back (2010-6-19) |
Panpour originally had a much darker color scheme and a different eye shape. It also has skin-colored inner ears and the tip of its tail is more rounded than the final. Next revision would look very similar to the final only having some extra pixels added to its face and ears. |
516 | Simipour | ヒヤッキー Hiyakkie |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r23762 (2010-3-10) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | r23762 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Simipour has a darker color scheme with straight hair of a more length, differently-shaped eyes and "dress", skin-colored inner ears, and is holding up its right hand in its front sprite instead of left. r23762 matches the final aside from the back sprite lacking shading, which is updated in the next revision. |
517 | Munna | ムンナ Munna |
r6461 (2009-7-30) |
-- | -- | -- | -- | r21151 (2010-2-22) |
Is much larger than in the final. |
518 | Musharna | ムシャーナ Musharna |
r4052 (2009-5-26) |
r4236 (2009-5-27) |
-- | -- | -- | r21151 (2010-2-22) |
Is much smaller than in the final and has a brighter skin color for its face. |
519 | Pidove | マメパト Mamepato |
r4052 (2009-5-26) |
r4236 (2009-5-27) |
r13836 (2009-12-08) |
-- | -- | r13836 front / r16109 back (2009-12-22) |
Back sprite is identical to final save for being flipped, resulting in Pidove facing the wrong direction. |
520 | Tranquill | ハトーボー Hatoboh |
r4052 (2009-5-26) |
r4236 (2009-5-27) |
-- | -- | -- | r4236 front / r16109 back (2009-12-22) |
Back sprite is facing the wrong direction; was initially between Petilil and Lilligant in the index before being placed between Pidove and Unfezant, signaling that it replaced the cut Lilligant middle stage. |
521 | Unfezant | ケンホロウ Kenhallow |
r3780 (2009-5-19) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | -- | r35755 (2010-5-18) |
Back sprite is facing the wrong direction. |
522 | Blitzle | シママ Shimama |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r16132 (2009-12-22) |
r21151 (2010-2-22) |
-- | r21151 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Started off in r10364 with a black and neon yellow design, with a smaller body and thinner legs. In later revisions it would have its body refined to use a dark purple and white color scheme and rounder, colorful eyes, until r21151 (which was previously seen in a Oha Suta prerelease trailer) where its design mostly resembles final, with only a slight pattern change on the back sprite. |
523 | Zebstrika | ゼブライカ Zebraika |
r4052 (2009-5-26) |
r4236 (2009-5-27) |
r6461 (2009-7-30) |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r21151 (2010-2-22) |
r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Starts off with a design that uses a smaller body and shorter legs, with proportions similar to Blitzle's. Its back sprite initially lacked patterns, but they were added in a later revision. In r10364, it would get a design which looks a bit closer to final, though still with the old proportions. In r21151, its design mostly resembles final, with only a change to the horns and the shading on its stripes. |
524 | Roggenrola | ダンゴロ Dangoro |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | -- | r26114 (2010-3-25) |
Roggenrola's body is dull green instead of the final's dark blue, while the hexagonal hole is orange instead of yellow. Overall body design is squattier. |
525 | Boldore | ガントル Gantle |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r26114 (2010-3-25) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Boldore's body is the same dull green as Roggenrola in this version, while the crystals are orange instead of red. r26114's sprite is finalized except for shading differences in its crystals and body along with being elevated upwards in the final. |
526 | Gigalith | ギガイアス Gigaiath |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r26114 (2010-3-25) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Gigalith's colors are desaturated compared to the final version, and the placement of facets on its body differs slightly. r26114 was previously seen in the Oha Suta prerelease trailer, and looks closer to the final with it receiving tweaks in its pose and shading for its body and crystals. |
527 | Woobat | コロモリ Koromori |
r4052 (2009-5-26) |
r4236 (2009-5-27) |
r16216 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | r22453 (2010-2-26) |
Earlier design has a purple color scheme, lacks the heart shape on its nose, and sports a pointier fang. r16216 version is identical to final save for minor shading differences. |
528 | Swoobat | ココロモリ Kokoromi |
r6461 (2009-7-30) |
r6572 (2009-7-31) |
r16216 (2009-12-22) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Swoobat was initially dull purple with a white mane. Aside from minor tweaks to its anatomy and adding shading, design is basically finalized after the color change. |
529 | Drilbur | モグリュー Mogurew |
r3780 (2009-5-19) |
r4236 (2009-5-27) |
-- | -- | -- | r3780 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Accidentally uses the broken front sprite of Unfezant as its back sprite, which is fixed the same month, 8 days later. Front sprite matches the final while its back sprite has its stripe flipped and less outline on its claws. r4236's design can be seen in a Oha Suta prerelease trailer. |
530 | Excadrill | ドリュウズ Doryuzu |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r31000 (2010-4-22) |
r42375 (2010-6-19) |
r43028 front / r42375 back (2010-6-24) |
Originally was facing the right (similar to its official art) with violet skin with pink, less detailed stripes that are flipped compared to final, and the pupil is centered rather than close to its nose. r31000 was previously seen in the Oha Suta prerelease trailer and is midway between the initial design and final: body is violet, while stripes are red and have yet to be mirrored. Its final front sprite would be changed several revisions later than most other Generation V sprites, indicating this may have been a late change. |
531 | Audino | タブンネ Tabunne |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r24736 (2010-3-16) |
r26853 (2010-3-30) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Originally had duller colors, small brown eyes, and a smaller cream-colored tail instead of white. r24736 would use the final design with it receiving tweaks in size and shading. |
532 | Timburr | ドッコラー Dokkorer |
r16741 (2010-1-08) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | -- | -- | r35148 (2010-5-14) |
Timburr had a different design with yellow skin, a mohawk, and wearing a red bandana, along with holding a boulder instead of the log in the final. |
533 | Gurdurr | ドテッコツ Dotekkotsu |
r16741 (2010-1-08) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | -- | -- | r35148 (2010-5-14) |
Gurdurr had a completely different design with yellow skin, a beard, and brown biceps, and it holds a boulder instead of the I-beam girder in the final. |
534 | Conkeldurr | ローブシン Roubushin |
r16741 (2010-1-08) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Conkeldurr had a completely different design with yellow skin, a white propeller mustache, and red-brown arms, and is on (or in) a rock, instead of holding two concrete pillars like in the final. r35148 looks closer to the final except for extra eyeshadow and it being elevated upwards. |
535 | Tympole | オタマロ Otamaro |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |
r11074 (2009-10-29) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | r35148 (2010-5-14) |
Started off as a family of sea snail Pokémon before being replaced by the Tympole line. r16109 depicts a transitory stage where Tympole's face and cheeks are more akin to the snail than the final version with gray skin and a white tail. |
536 | Palpitoad | ガマガル Gamagaru |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |

r16109 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | r32596 (2010-4-30) |
Started off as a family of sea snail Pokemon before being replaced by the Tympole line. r16109 made it look more like a frog than a tadpole, with brown skin, gray body, red eyes similar to Seismitoad, buck teeth, and light blue rings. |

Started off as a family of sea snail Pokemon before being replaced by the Tympole line. r16109 has a different design with brown skin, a gray belly, light blue rings, and black fingers. r32596 looks much more finalized, minus the back sprite having less shading and the bumps on the back being black instead of blue. |

r26853 (2010-3-30) |
-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Throh's first sprite has a horn on its head, X-shaped markings over its eyes instead of a T-shaped one between them, and its black belt is actually a tail wrapped around its body. Later sprites have increasingly saturated colors until arriving at the brightness of the final sprite. |

r26853 (2010-3-30) |
-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Sawk started out as a recolor of the Throh sprite with a blue gi and horn. Later sprites have increasingly saturated colors, while its eyes and face marking were shifted upwards for the final sprite. |
540 | Sewaddle | クルミル Kurumiri |
r3780 (2009-5-19) |
-- | -- | -- | -- | r42375 front / r3780 back (2010-6-19) |

r35755 (2010-5-18) |
r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Swadloon originally had white skin and eyes, its back sprite faces the left instead of the right in the final, and the V-shaped line on its cloak is off-center. Oddly, r35755 reverted its skin color to white after being changed to yellow in r17094. Swadloon's shiny palette in the final game would give it white skin, although the rest of its body would be coloured very differently. |

Scolipede originally had more saturated colors, with its body being a bright red similar to its Shiny form, had straighter horns, and had four stripes on each tail prong instead of three. Pose received various tweaks, but the grey patch between its head and first body segment on the front sprite was absent until final. |

r6461 (2009-7-30) |
-- | -- | -- | -- | r6461 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Back sprite's head flower is flipped from the final version and has less polish, and the shading on the lower leaves is slightly different. Otherwise identical to final. |

r33620 (2010-5-07) |
r37255 (2010-5-25) |
Basculin was originally blue and had a sleeker body with slender, non-jagged fins; only the red-striped form existed at this stage. The next revision would use the final design with a pose similar to its official art, and the next, r33620, would make it look exactly like the final. |
551 | Sandile | メグロコ Meguroco |
-- | -- | -- | -- | -- | r4052 (2009-5-26) |

r26114 (2010-3-25) |
-- | r26853 (2010-3-30) |
Darumaka initially had a circle as a placeholder front sprite and the Zorua back sprite from this revision with an incorrect pallete as a back sprite. Later sprites have a finalized design, but stand on both legs instead of just one. |

r27532 (2010-3-31) |
r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Darmanitan originally had brighter colors and smaller wavy lines, along with its middle oval spot being centered compared to later revisions. Later revisions would tone down the brightness and give it more detail along with refining its pose to look closer to the final. r27532's design was previously shown in a Oha Suta prerelease trailer. |
556 | Maractus | マラカッチ Maracacchi |

-- | -- | r22453 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Started off using Whimsicott's early sprites as a placeholder. Looks similar to the final, but with shading differences and more detail to its design. |

r24736 (2010-3-16) |
-- | r26853 (2010-3-30) |
Dwebble originally looked more like a hermit crab, with yellow skin and a brown, swirly shell that was based on kiln-fired pottery. r22453 made it a bit smaller than before. r24736's design looks more finalized aside from a few outline differences and being slightly larger than the final. |

r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Scraggy has brighter yellow skin, an orange belly instead of a red one, and lacks the red scale on its head. Later revisions make it much closer to the final, with only its skin color being a brighter shade of yellow and its placement slightly higher. |

r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | -- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Front sprite matches the final aside from a missing bit of outline on its tail. The back sprite received tweaks to shading, its pose, and the zigzag pattern on its back. |

r16109 (2009-12-22) |
-- | r22453 (2010-2-26) |
Cofagrigus originally had smaller, sharper fingers, and its bottom-right hand was positioned closer than in the next revision. This revision also mirrored its back sprite and had shorter bends than the final version, which was corrected in the following update. |
564 | Tirtouga | プロトーガ Protoga |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |

-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Tirtouga originally had a rougher design with green skin with blue markings and a brown shell, resembling real-life turtles. Its back sprite was also different, showing its belly compared to the final design. Updated exactly 2 months later to the final design, but with a slightly more desaturated palette. |

r16132 (2009-12-22) |
-- | -- | r26284 (2010-3-26) |
Archen's tail is much more pronounced, along with its shading being much darker than the final. Back sprite lacks most of the shading that's present in the final and is missing its left wing. |

Archeops originally had a bright green stripe running along the top of its tail, matching the one on its head. It also had smaller, yellow eyes, larger feathers, and a longer tail. r26853's front sprite is identical to the final aisde from having slightly darker linework on its body, while the back sprite has different shading, minor line art differences, and a slightly lowered right leg. |

-- | r22453 (2010-2-26) |
Trubbish originally had a more muted color scheme, a lopsided face with rounder eyes, and a straight white line across its face rather than the jagged dark line in the final. In r13836, its design looks identical to the final except for the blue on its arms being missing. Meanwhile, r16216’s back sprite wasn't updated to reflect the redesign, with a lime-green body and dark green arms. |
569 | Garbodor | ダストダス Dustdas |
r10364 (2009-10-26) |

Garbodor was originally larger with a more muted color scheme, simpler patterning, and four fingers on its right hand instead of three. The front sprite in r13836 is identical to the final, while its back sprite seemingly wasn’t updated to reflect the redesign; the face is now white, the body is brown, the arms and tied ends are lime green, and the fingers are pink. |

Early Zoroark features yellow eyes instead of cyan, wilder, fiery hair not held in a ponytail, and much darker fur. It also has a tail, which was removed from the final design. r21151's back sprite is the final design, just with less detail and a smaller face and left foot. The glowing hair may have later been repurposed for Hisuian Zoroark. |

r6461 (2009-7-30) |
r6572 (2009-7-31) |

-- | r26819 (2010-3-28) |
Gothita originally had brighter skin, a violet body, pink lips, and red sclera, along with two buns on its head. It also lacked the stripes on its back sprite. In r26114, which uses the final design, its front sprite was mirrored, and its mouth was closed, which was changed three days later. This update broke the back sprite’s palette, and it now features a diamond-shaped pattern with less shading than the final version. |
575 | Gothorita | ゴチミル Gothimiru |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |

r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Solosis originally had a rounder body with brighter colors and smaller eyes and mouth, along with a long white coil. r22453's design is closer to the final except being larger and having different shading, while r31000's back sprite has its shine and coil swap places. |

r26114 (2010-3-25) |
-- | r31000 (2010-4-22) |
Reuniclus originally had brighter colors and fully green arms instead of red, orange and yellow; its arms are posed in a more zombie-like/stretched-out-forwards pose and its mouth is closed. Would gain the final design about 4 months later, albeit a bit larger than the final's design. Remaining changes are fixing shading and giving a angle to the back sprite, much like Duosion. |

-- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Started off with no shading and smaller arms; has a extra ice crystal on the back of its head. Changes afterwards were mostly shading updates after it was changed to the final design, though r35148 seems to be slightly larger than r32596. |

r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | r42375 front / r35148 back (2010-6-19) |
Front sprite design close to final, albeit unrefined and having two extra ice crystals. Back sprite is in a different angle than in the final, and has many more ice crystals, depicting a face; this motif was carried over to Vanilluxe only in the final. Changes after r32596 are fixes to shading for the back sprite and fixes to the front sprite. |

-- | -- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Deerling originally used its summer form by default as its forms were likely not implemented yet. r24736's design uses its spring form, which looks identical to the final minus the slight shading differences in its sprite. |
586 | Sawsbuck | メブキジカ Mebukijika |

r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | -- | r31000 front / r22453 back (2010-4-22) |
Sawsbuck originally used its spring form by default as its forms were likely not implemented yet. Has a less detailed design with beige skin, green spots on its body and eyes, and longer antlers than later designs. r6572's design uses its summer form with different antler positions, smaller and different ear shapes, and a different tail design, along with its skin and body being overall lighter than the final. r22453's design now uses the spring form, which looks identical to the final except for a tuft of hair on the back of its neck that was later removed. |

Karrablast originally had brighter colors, larger arms and legs with yellow claws, and its eyes were placed on its horn instead of its face. r26114 looks finalized minus shading differences and a slightly different pose. |

Lacks shading and is much thinner, with the face further down, and has a more orange-brown-ish color palette. The Pokéball it imitates is a side view, instead of a front view like in the final. Updated the color palette once following its sprite being updated. going to the final design. |

r32596 (2010-4-30) |
-- | r32596 front / r35148 back (2010-5-14) |
Originally used its female sprite by default, seeing as its gender difference was likely not planned yet, and had brighter colors along with its eyes being more to the left rather than centered. r18786's front sprite is the same as the final while its back sprite seems to break its color palettes, which was fixed 22 days later. r32596 now uses its male sprite, which is the same as the final. |

-- | -- | -- | r22453 (2010-2-26) |
Appears to be one of the first Pokémon to be implemented, as it takes up numerous placeholder slots. First sprite notably uses a different perspective than the style of the final games' sprites; r3780's is identical to final aside from shorter dark pink patterning on the back end of its back sprite and minor shading differences on the fins. |

Design was originally much closer to a tarantula, with its back hair not being split in two. Following updates would change its palette and change the back hair a bit, while refining the sprite. r32596's design was previously shown in a Oha Suta prerelease trailer. |

Klink was originally slightly larger, with brown and white gears, and had only one eye instead of the X-shaped eye in the final version. The sprite is flat, even though Klang and Klinklang have a updated version with depth used for them, which were added in the same revision. In the final, its back sprite is mirrored. |

-- | -- | r22453 front / r37255 back (2010-5-25) |
Klang was originally brown and white, and its second gear had a face. Compared to the final version, the ring in the back sprite was brown instead of black, and the center was black instead of blue. In the final, its back sprite is mirrored. r22453 looks identical to the final version, except the center of its back sprite is slightly larger. Klink's front and back sprite seems to have been updated here to have depth, even though Klink's sprite itself is flat. |

r22453 (2010-2-26) |
-- | -- | r22453 front / r37255 back (2010-5-25) |
Klinklang was originally brown and white. The bottom gear ring is missing, and the red gear is greatly enlarged, with a blue gem in the middle instead. Much like Klang, the Klink in the middle has a face; the back sprite has a brown instead of grey center. r22453 would introduce the final design and front sprite, but the back sprite would later receive tweaks to the outlines and the size of the main gear's center segment. The mirrored back sprite is an error that remained even into the final games. |

Eelektrik had a red mouth and tail in r22453 instead of the orange seen in the final, a slight green tint to its belly and protuberances, and had brighter colors than the final, more closely resembling its shiny palette in the final game. Its sprite here overall appears thicker than in the final build as well. The sprites are finalized as of r35148, though the skin palette would be darkened in time for the final build. |
604 | Eelektross | シビルドン Shibirudon |

r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Eelektross' pose in r22453 more closely resembles its pose in the official Sugimori art, with its palette being close to its shiny palette in the final game, albeit slightly darker. The yellow markings around its eye and on its hands are connected together, unlike the final sprite, which opts for the same spotted pattern than Eelektrik has. The sprites would mostly be finalized by r35148, though the arms and legs would be very slightly repositioned, the palette would be darkened, and the sprite itself would be very slightly elevated in time for the final build. |

Elgyem was originally gray and had thinner head markings, yellow eyes surrounded by black rings, what apppears to be a visible mouth, and a much longer tail. r35148 design now looks identical to the final minus its back sprite moving its tail slightly upwards. |

r11074 uses a lighter color for the main body and is missing its right tusk; further revisions use the final design, which would receive tweaks in shading, size, and pose along the way. |

r33620 (2010-5-07) |
Design was revised multiple times. Both earlier versions share a grimacing expression, different eye shading, and dark circles on the insides of the ears. r6572 was a very simple quadrupedal design with white fur, while r16109 made it bipedal with closer proportions to the final design and cream fur. r24736 almost matches final, but has brighter blue head fur and is standing rather than seated. |

Originally had a different pose with it standing on tiptoes and folding its arms in front of its body, along with lacking shading and using a slightly duller color palette. r35148 looks closer to the final aside from being slightly larger and missing its tail on the back sprite; the latter issue was fixed 11 days later. |

-- | -- | r26853 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Had a simpler design that used the same dark brown base for its entire main body, rather than the final's more segmented look with both red and yellow body stripes and a lighter brown for the extremities. Its back ridges are smoother and connect to the tail, which is fully solid instead of having a pipe on the end, its claws are white instead of yellow, and its eyes are less centered. r26853's front sprite matches the final, while its back sprite is missing one pixel on its tail. |

Hydreigon was originally red and grey, lacked the fur collars around its heads, and had two large wings instead of six smaller ones. All three heads have red eyes, with the main head having two pairs of eyes; the final version has black eyes, with the main head having one pair of eyes with fuchsia pupils. Sprites from r35148 are similar to the final, only receiving tweaks in its size and its face overall. |

r21151 sprites have four wings instead of six (previously known about via the April 2011 Nintendo Dream interview), which fade to a darker shade of orange on the ends. It also lacked the blue color on its abdomen. r35148 sprites are identical to final aside from the face crests and the shading on the wings being dark orange instead of red. |

Cobalion had a much more abstract design, missing the "The Three Musketeers" motif, which would be the inspiration for the Swords of Justice. Design would later become finalized with it receiving tweaks in shading and size. |

Same notes as Cobalion. r32596 looks closer to the final aside from shading and positioning differences. |

r16109 (2009-12-22) |

Tornadus resembled Fūjin, the Japanese god of the wind. |
642 | Thundurus | ボルトロス Voltolos |

r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Thundurus resembled Raijin, the Japanese god of thunder and lightning. r35148 front sprite is the same as the final, while its back sprite is elevated upwards and has shading differences. |
643 | Reshiram | レシラム Reshiram |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | -- | r37255 (2010-5-25) |
Reshiram originally had a more generic tail rather than the final design's booster/jet engine theme, as well as facial markings resembling a classical kitsune mask. r35148 looks identical to the final save for the back sprite being slightly repositioned. |
644 | Zekrom | ゼクロム Zekrom |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r16109 (2009-12-22) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
Zekrom looked similar to its final design, but with some slight changes. Zekrom has mint green accents all over its body and tail rather than the blue used in the final game. r35148 is closer to the final, only being brighter. |
645 | Landorus | ランドロス Landlos |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |

Landorus was based on Inari Ōkami, the Japanese god of the fertility and agriculture, but it was redesigned to match the other Forces of Nature to keep things consistent. r35148's sprite looks closer to the final save for shading differences and being elevated upwards. It re-uses Tornadus' back sprite at this point, and its tail colors are inverted. |
646 | Kyurem | キュレム Kyurem |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |

r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | -- | r35148 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19) |
Kyurem looked drastically different, with a very different body shape. Kyurem is colored with purple here, and the ice color covers most of the bottom half of Kyurem. r35148 is the same as the final except for its back sprite being elevated upwards. |
647 | Keldeo | ケルディオ Keldeo |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r27532 (2010-3-31) |
-- | -- | r35148 (2010-5-14) |
Keldeo's sprite appears to be a downscaled version of an earlier iteration of its official art, which has some minor differences from the final design. These include its head being smaller in proportion to its body, its hooves being red instead of blue, its horn being slightly longer, and its mane being crimson instead of orange. The back sprite is merely a flipped copy of the front sprite with its eye and one of its nostrils edited out. r27532 looks closer to the final while receiving tweaks in its size, hair and tail. |
648 | Meloetta | メロエッタ Meloetta |
r14538 (2009-12-15) |
r22453 (2010-2-26) |
r35148 (2010-5-14) |
-- | -- | r42375 (2010-6-19) |
While still music-themed, this version of Meloetta has a much simpler design, with insectoid features. Meloetta's Aria and Pirouette Formes are recolored versions of the same sprite at this point; the blue sprite is the Aria Forme, and the green sprite is the Pirouette Forme. r35148 introduces the final design, which then received tweaks on its size, pose, and shading. |

Originally had a much squatter body shape, with dark blue skin, pink eyes, and an exhaust pipe on its back. The next revision added lights to its cannon and pipe. |
