Oha Suta Trailer
On June 27th, 2010, a trailer for Pokemon Black and White released which has some notable differences shown:
- The starter selection screen looks different with Snivy's underside being green instead of beige in the final, has missing shading for its tail and being a bit shorter, Tepig has a more hind foot with one being visible in its sprite, Oshawott's tail has slightly less shading, and the unselected starters silhouettes are overall brighter than the final.
- Excadrill also has a different design having violet skin and its stripes flipped compared to the final.
- Galvantula's back sprite is in a slightly different pose which noticeably makes its abdomen and its feet move slightly up and has no outline in its abdomen.
- Darmanitan's skin is overall brighter than the final.
- Gigalith has some slight shading differences and is in a slightly different different pose.
- Drillbur's stripe in its back sprite is flipped and has less outlines on its claws.
- Bitzle has slight differences in its pattern.
- Cheren's VS sprite is slightly different with a minor overhaul to its eyes and shading.
