Prerelease:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Sprites/980506

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Sprites.

A collection of sprites found in an internal back-up dated May 6, 1998. These sprites represent a later version of the game than the one seen in the 1997 Spaceworld demo, and include many cut Pokémon that have not been seen elsewhere to date. Any additional data regarding these scrapped Pokémon, be it names, move data, stats, or evolutionary data, is not known to exist. The first 151 Pokémon match the Pokédex order, while the remaining ones appear to be strewn about haphazardly, seemingly without much care.

Early sprites for Yellow were also found in this folder, and can be seen here.

Original 151

Virtually all sprites here are identical to the ones from the Spaceworld 1997 demo, and as such the table below will only make notes of differences that exist between these sprites and the ones originally seen in the Spaceworld 1997 build of the games.

Sprites 300-448

A section notable for containing sprites of Pokémon never seen before or after the Spaceworld 1997 demo. It's unknown whether these sprites were made prior to the 1997 demo, or after it, and to make things even more puzzling, the index order for these unused designs starts at 300 for some unknown reason. When it comes to the new Pokémon introduced in the Spaceworld 1997 demo, their sprites are identical to the ones from this build unless noted otherwise. Interesting here is the inclusion of Stantler, a Pokémon otherwise missing from the 1997 demo, as well as a pretty much finalized Elekid, and earlier iterations of Cyndaquil, Dunsparce, and Celebi (alongside precursors to Furret, Pineco, Sunkern, and perhaps even Gligar).

Internal #	Front Sprite	English Name	Back Sprite	Final (JP)		Japanese Name	Notes
300	Celebi					セレビィ Celebi	A pitch-black humanoid silhouette with three tufts of hair playing the flute, evidently based on Kokopelli, a fertility deity in some Native American cultures. Given its inspiration and its resemblance to Celebi's design in the Spaceworld 1999 build of Gold and Silver, it's safe to assume that this Pokémon was ultimately reworked into Celebi.
301	.			.	.	.	An elongated white eel-like creature with protruding eyes. May have been intended to be a pre-evolution for "Gurotesu" (302), given the close positioning and design, real-life immature eels also being colorless. Interestingly, in the Spaceworld '97 demo Gurotesu evolved from Ikari (303), itself the evolution of Manbō 1 (354). However, as seen with Manbō 1, the designers seem to have later tried to splice the members of this line into separate, more fitting families. Generation V would later introduce the Tynamo line, which is also based on eels.
302	.			.	.	グロテス Gurotesu	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
303	.			.	.	イカリ Ikari	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
304	.			.	.	.	A fox-like Pokémon with a fiery tail similar to Chimchar's. Bears some resemblance to Fennekin.
305	.			.	.	.	A small white round creature with two feet and a happy face.
306	.			.	.	.	Appears to be an evolution for 305. Seems to be based on the "Yuki Usagi", a traditional Japanese snowman built in the shape of a bunny. Given its appearance, and the fact that "Yuki Usagi" also comes as a type of desert, then this Pokémon could have also been reworked from Pikachu's original Daifuku-like design.
307	.			.	.	.	Appears to be an evolution for 306. Has a more pear-shaped body, lacking the "bunny" look in its feet, and having long "leaf hair" instead of ears. It doesn't resemble a snowman at all, and so its true design basis may not be as straight forward as originally envisioned. It's possible that 305 and 306 were actually envisioned as fruits, which would make sense as berries are already used when making a Yuki Usagi. Thus, here we would have but a larger fruit, though one with a few tree-like characteristics.
308	.			.	.	.	Most likely a split evolution for 306, with it resembling a weeping willow-like tree. If the previous hypothesis is correct, then here we have a fruit actually fully maturing into a tree.
309	.			.	.	.	A large elephant Pokémon with forked tusks and spikes on its head and back. Possibly related to a similar-looking back sprite for an elephant Pokémon intended for Red and Green.
310	Natu					ネイティ Neiti
311	.			.	.	.	What appears to be a mid-evolution bridging Natu and Xatu. Appears distinctly more peacock-like, with face markings that are present on neither of its evolutionary relatives. Also features an eye marking on its back, much like the one Xatu had in its Spaceworld '97 design.
312	Xatu					ネイティオ Neitio
313	.			.	.	.	A crooked-looking spotted kiwi bird Pokémon. It's possible that this Pokémon is undead, which could be supported by the rolled-back eyes, the crooked legs, and the spot perhaps evoking mold or necrosis. Then again it could also be just a stereotypical "stupid bird", with eyes devoid of intelligence, and a goofy posture.
314	.			.	.	.	A cyclop scorpion which shares some interesting similarities with the Scorpion enemy from Dragon Quest. Likely went on to inspire Gen IV's Skorupi, or even more directly Gligar, another scorpion-inspired Pokémon introduced in Gen II.
315	.			.	.	.	A small, egg-shaped Quail-like bird Pokémon with a curly black tuft of hair, a black belly patch, small cheeks, and a nubby tail.
316	.			.	.	.	A bird Pokémon shaped like a g-clef with small wings and a duck-like head. Was perhaps also inspired by brass instruments. Possibly went on to inspire Chatot, who is also a music-themed bird Pokémon.
317	.			.	.	.	Definitely related to Qwilfish. Likely an early design for "Shibirefugu" (446), its evolution in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
318	Quagsire					ミズウオ Mizuuo
319	.			.	.	.	A boar-like Pokémon with antlers, a hybrid of two common woodlands creatures.
320	Sneasel					ニューラ Nyuura
321	Ampharos					デンリュウ Denryuu
322	Marill					マリル Marill'
323	Aipom					テイル Teiru
324	.			.	.	キョンパン Kyonpan	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
325	.			.	.	.	Definitely related to Growlithe. Likely an early design for "Pudi" (431), its evolution in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Interestingly has a horn on its forehead, which makes sense given how kirins are usually depicted with horns, though neither Growlithe nor Arcanine has one.
326	Politoed					ニョロトノ Nyorotono
327	.			.	.	ノロワラ Norowara	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
328	Hoppip					ハネッコ Hanekko
329	Skiploom					ポポネコ Poponeko
330	Jumpluff					ワタネコ Wataneko
331	.			.	.	.	A dopey-eyed ghost Pokémon wearing a hitakakushi and followed by two hitodama.
332	.			.	.	コトラ Kotora	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo, and was originally intended for Red and Green.
333	.			.	.	ライトラ Raitora	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo, and was originally intended for Red and Green.
334	Donphan					ドンファン Donphan
335	Slowking					ヤドキング Yadokingu
336	Girafarig					キリンリ Kirinriki
337	Crobat					エクシング Ekushingu
338	Stantler					メジカ Mejika	Front sprite pose nearly identical to Gold final, but with a earlier, more eye-like antler design.
339	Qwilfish					プクー Pukū
340	Bayleef					ハナモグ Hanamogura
341	Remoraid					テッポウオ Teppouo
342	.			.	.	エレべビー Erebebī
343	Elekid					エレキッド Elekid	Coexists alongside its Spaceworld '97 equivalent, side by side, no less. The front sprite is almost identical to Gold final, except for the horns, and coloration of the legs and feet being swapped. This Pokémon was likely being worked on particularly due to its slated appearance in the animated short "Pikachu's Rescue adventure".
344	.			.	.	.	A plesiosaur-like Pokémon bearing some resemblance to a Viking ship, its front half fittingly representing the figurehead. May have had some ties to 351.
345	Hoothoot					ホーホー Hōhō
346	Smeargle					ぺインター Peintā
347	Ho-oh					ホウオウ Ho-Oh	Different front sprite from the 1997 demo, with it identical to final aside from the shading.
348	Unown					アンノーン Unown	An earlier iteration of Unown A's sprites, depicting it as being taller. The inclusion of these sprites is interesting, as the Spaceworld 1997 sprites (which are identical to final) can be found in a separate part of this archive.
349	.			.	.	.	A large canine Pokémon with tusks and an imposing coat of shaggy fur. Likely inspired by the Tibetan Mastiff and other imposing dog breeds, and possibly by the Komainu. Was perhaps associated with wind, as its sideburns resemble stylized gusts of wind. Was perhaps shelved due to its strong resemblance with Arcanine.
350	.			.	.	.	A rather odd-looking rabbit-like Pokémon. Possibly an early attempt at a "Pika-clone".
351	.			.	.	.	A snake Pokémon with large eyes, chest markings, and what appears to be Native American headdress-inspired head feathers. It could also be based on the Quetzalcoatl of Mesoamerican mythology, which was depicted with a similar feather crest.
352	.			.	.	.	Some sort of crane-like bird Pokémon wearing a conical hat and featuring what appears to be a scarecrow theme.
353	.			.	.	.	A gargoyle-like Pokémon with a long tail and two long feet. Was perhaps shelved due to its strong resemblance with Aerodactyl.
354	.			.	.	マンボー1 Manbō 1	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo, where it evolved into "Ikari" (303) and then into "Gurotesu" (302). Here, it appears to have been given a completely different evolutionary line.
355	.			.	.	.	Apparent evolution of "Manbō 1" (354).
356	.			.	.	.	Apparent evolution of 355.
357	.			.	.	ホノオグマ Honooguma	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Original base stage Fire starter. This front sprite would later be redrawn as Teddiursa's in the 1999 demo.
358	.			.	.	ボルべアー Borubeā	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Original first stage Fire starter.
359	.			.	.	ダイナべア Dainabea	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Original final stage Fire starter.
360	.			.	.	.	A stern-looking flying squirrel wearing a headband and a sheathed sword tied to its back. Appears to be styled after ninjas, as seen by the throwing star adorning its headband. The flying squirrel motif would ultimatey be used for Sentret.
361	Meganium					ハナリュウ Hanaryuu
362	Miltank					ミルタンク Miltank
363	Snubbull					ブルー Buru
364	Cyndaquil					イガル Igaru	Early Cyndaquil, before it became the Fire starter. It doesn't even appear to have been a Fire-type at this point, with its spikes instead looking solid. Its exact typing is hard to pinpoint, as it could be anything from Ice (icicles), Rock or Ground (stalagmites), or perhaps even Grass (thorns) or Normal (simple stylized quills). The front sprite, aside from the spikes and shading, matches final.
365	.			.	.	リンリン Rinrin	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
366	.			.	.	クルス Kurusu	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Original base stage Water starter.
367	.			.	.	アクア Akua	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Original first stage Water starter.
368	.			.	.	アクエリア Akueria	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Original final stage Water starter.
369	Chikorita					ハッパ Happa
370	Raikou					ライ Rai
371	Entei					エン En
372	Suicune					スイ Sui
373	Skarmory					ヨロイド Yoroidori
374	Delibird					ギフト Gifuto
375	Cleffa					ピィ Pii
376	Octillery					オクタン Okutan
377	.			.	.	.	A windsock-like Pokémon which, given its design similarities (albeit more foxlike in appearance), may have been reworked into Furret. Bears some resemblance to popular depictions of the Kudagitsune.
378	.			.	.	.	A Pokémon based on the myth of storks delivering babies, complete with it carrying a tiny chick. Was likely scrapped due to the introduction of Pokémon eggs making it feel out of place.
379	Pichu					ピチュー Pichu
380	.			.	.	.	A drill-themed squid Pokémon. Interestingly, its back sprite lacks the drill elements, suggesting it might reflect a different, likely earlier iteration of this Pokémon's design. Possibly related to a similar-looking back sprite for a squid Pokémon intended for Red and Green.
381	Mantine					ハネエイ Haneei
382	.			.	.	.	A bagworm-like Pokémon with long ears which likely went on to inspire Gen IV's Burmy, or even more directly Pineco, another bagworm-inspired Pokémon introduced in Gen II.
383	.			.	.	.	A moth-like Pokémon and the apparent evolution of 383. Likely went on to inspire Gen IV's Mothim, itself the split evolution of Burmy.
384	Spinarak					コクモ Kokumo
385	Ariados					ツーへッド Tsuheddo
386	.			.	.	.	A koala Pokémon sitting on a miniature tree. Gen VII would later introduce a koala Pokémon called Komala. Interestingly enough, as seen in its back sprite, this Pokémon appears to lack an "inner ear", as seen by the fact that part of the branch can be seen through the part where the back of the inner ear should be.
387	.			.	.	.	A crazed-looking tanuki Pokémon carrying afire kindling on its back. Appears to be based on the folktale of Kachi-Kachi Yama.
388	Houndour					デビル Debiru
389	Houndoom					へルガー Herugaa
390	.			.	.	ウルフマン Urufuman	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
391	.			.	.	ワーウルフ Waaurufu	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
392	.			.	.	.	A rather odd-looking cockatoo-like Pokémon with a ruff of feathers around its neck, as well as what appears to be a beak shaped like either a brass instrument or a megaphone. If the latter is correct, it's then possible this Pokémon could have served as inspiration for Gen IV's Chatot.
393	.			.	.	ボムシカー Bomushikaa	Different sprites from the 1997 demo, with a more stylized, chubbier body, and a magma ball that has cleaner detailing.
394	.			.	.	プチコーン Puchikoon	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo and was originally intended for Red and Green.
395	.			.	.	ギョピン Gyopin	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo and was originally intended for Red and Green.
396	.			.	.	ミコン Mikon	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo and was originally intended for Red and Green.
397	.			.	.	.	A frog Pokémon with a long tongue and a horn on its head.
398	Wobbuffet					ツインズ Tsuinzu	Pre-evolution for Girafarig which was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Ultimately reworked into Wobbuffet, with the design of the ghosts' body reworked into Wobbuffet's tail.
399	Ledyba					レディバ Ledyba
400	.			.	.	.	A stoned-looking hybrid between a hippopotamus and a warthog, complete with a punk "mawhawk" and stylish dark "pants".
401	.			.	.	.	A monstrous, living beast skeleton Pokémon with a comically long snout. Reanimated skeletons are a common trope in RPGs, though this one was perhaps inspired by reconstructed skeletons of prehistoric megafauna, which would make sense as quite a handful of dinosaurs can be seen among the scrapped designs found within this archive. It vaguely resembles a Xenomorph from the Alien series.
402	.			.	.	.	A Pokémon styled after a bunny, with large spotted Nidoran-like ears, no arms, dark-tipped feet, and a sort of pearl around its neck similar to the one sported by Dragonair. It's possible that this Pokémon takes after popular depictions of clams, and that its ears would have "shut closed" to protect its pearl.
403	.			.	.	.	A giant fly Pokémon which may have had some ties to 405. Perhaps based on giant prehistoric bugs, not unlike Yanmega.
404	.			.	.	.	A mean-looking plant Pokémon with only one eye, a spiky head, a ruff made of leaves, and a base composed of four roots. Bears some resemblance to Sunflora's early design, and thus may have possibly been intended to be its pre-evolution prior to the introduction of Sunkern.
405	.			.	.	.	An armored bug Pokémon which may have had some ties to 403. Perhaps based on giant prehistoric bugs, not unlike Yanmega.
406	.			.	.	.	A small dinosaur-like Pokémon which appears to use an egg as a helmet. Likely went on to inspire Gen IV's Cranidos.
407	.			.	.	.	A small cherry blossom Pokémon. Likely went on to inspire Gen IV's Cherrim.
408	Mareep					パチメエ Pachimee
409	Hitmontop					カポエラー Kapoerā
410	.			.	.	べトべビー Betobebī	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
411	Murkrow					ヤミカラス Yamikarasu
412	Dunsparce					ノコッチ Nokocchi	A tsuchinoko-like Pokémon which bears a resemblance to Dunsparce's sprites in the Spaceworld '99 demo.
413	Smoochum					ムチュール Muchuuru
414	.			.	.	ヒナーズ Hināzu	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
415	.			.	.	.	An armored dinosaur Pokémon with an ankylosaurus tail which may have had some ties to 344. Its back actually appears to be styled after a xylophone, with its tail serving as the mallet.
416	.			.	.	サト Sato	What appears to be a fish with bird legs and wings, likely inspired by a comically literal interpretation of a flying fish. Appears to have been called "Sato", as there is a revision that was put in a trash folder named "SATO" (back sprite) and "SATOF" (front sprite).
417	Sunflora					サニー Sanī
418	.			.	.	ターバン Tāban	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.
419	.			.	.	マダーム Madāmu	Was present in the Spaceworld '97 demo.

Special Sprites

The end of the sprite list contains a few sprites with more distinct filenames.

Unown Variants

All the sprites for the different variations of Unown are present, and use the "PM2F_" naming scheme, with "UN" followed by the corresponding Unown's letter. All these sprites are identical to the Spaceworld 1997 ones, which themselves are identical to final.

Alternate Sprites

Three alternate sprites are also present in this listing, albeit with no corresponding back sprites.

A slightly earlier iteration of Honooguma's front sprite, labeled as "PM2F_155", with 155 being its Pokédex number in the Spaceworld '97 demo. Meanwhile, the Honooguma front sprite used in the Spaceworld '97 demo is labeled here as "PM2F_357".

Labeled as "PM2F_DEN" (likely standing for "Pocket Monsters 2 Front Denryu") is this early sprite of Ampharos which predates the one used in Spaceworld '97, and was previously only seen in the 1997 Pocket Monsters Official Fanbook.

Labeled as "PM2F_TES" (likely standing for "Pocket Monsters 2 Front Test") is this alternate sprite of Gloom which features some additional "stink particles" and what appears to be a crudely-drawn poop. It's possible this was originally intended to be a test to see how Gloom would look with more particles around it, before the artist in charge just gave up on it after some time and just doodled some poop in as a joke.

Gloom's Japanese name is "Kusaihana", from "Kusai" (stinky) and "Hana" (flower), and given how Kusai is close to "Kuso" (shit) it may have been what inspired this edit.

Labeled as "SATO" and "SATOF", these two sprites are a bit peculiar, as they only show up in a folder labelled "Trash" in the source code, present alongside some generic graphics slated to be trashed. These sprites turn out to be an alternate design for the flying fish Pokémon labelled #416 in the May 1998 back-up. While the design tweak itself is of no real worth, only being pudgier, what is interesting is that these sprites' filename appear to reveal the name of this Pokémon. Indeed, it's possible that "Sato" comes from both "Sakana" (fish) and "Hato" (dove), which would make sense given this Pokémon's design.

Trainer Sprites

A slightly later version of the trainer roster from the Spaceworld 1997 demo, which each sprite labeled numerically and prefixed with "p2dl" prefix, which likely stands for "Pokémon 2 Dealer", with "Dealer" being an early internal name for Pokémon trainers. Virtually all sprites here are identical to the ones from the Spaceworld 1997 demo, and as such the table below will only make notes of differences that exist between these sprites and the ones originally seen in the Spaceworld 1997 build of the games.

Trainer Class	Demo Sprite	Final Sprite	Notes
Officer			A notable addition, as this class was missing entirely in the '97 demo.
Twins
Kimono Girl
Blackbelt
Swimmer♂
Fisherman
Prof Oak
Youngster
Kurt		N/A	No equivalent in the final version.
Rival
Jasmine
Lass			An alternate version of the Lass, reusing its early design. The final sprite, however, takes directly after the one from the '97 demo, which is found later down this list.
Rocket♀			An early version of the female Rocket grunt, a class which, while present in the '97 demo, lacked its own sprite. Features a different pose and design, namely having shorter hair and a dark uniform similar to that of the male Rocket Grunt.
Rocket♀			An alternate version of the female grunt, this one identical to final in terms of design, only using a dark uniform instead of a white one. Interestingly, this early uniform color scheme may have inspired the one worn by Cassidy from the anime, who is directly based on the female Rocket Grunts from Generation II.
Soldier		N/A	No equivalent in the final games.
Medium
Bug Catcher
Sportsman		N/A	No equivalent in the final games.
Morty
Juggler
Firebreather
Burglar
Biker
Engineer		N/A	No equivalent in the final games
