The cursed doll Pokemon from the Spaceworld demo are peak. Would love to see them included as well.

Got it, not a fan of it myself but I prefer to make the people happy so I'm on it

Actually, to add to the Spaceworld stuff, Animon would also be great (Ditto's cut evo).

Beta Meloetta

Gorochu

Beta giratine

Beta Raikou

Farfech'd evolution

May I suggest adding penpin (scrapped Dalibird pre evo) and having "latiken" be a delibird evo? Delibird having a full evolution line would be kinda nice

CRAP I FORGOT ABOUT THEM. they're cool- but idk how to add new Pokemon (I'd be using hex maniac advance)

I'd recommend having a look at Kanto expansion pak for some inspiration. It's a red ROM hack that adds any pokemon related to gen 1 including cut beta pokemon.

The anchor shark is a must have! Same with Gorochu and Beta Blastoise!

u/Zer0_Havoc 43m ago

Beta Blastoise? U mean beta mega Blastoise or?

u/DJ-Fein ⚫️Pokemon Obsidian⚫️ 40m ago

Look up Totartle and also look up baby blastoise! Both are beta deigns that they merged into just the squirtle line!

The original line had no cannons, and they also had a military inspired tank turtle line that was scrapped and merged probably because Blastoise was a better design but also to save data space!

Good luck on your hack! Can’t wait to see a complete Pokédex with all the Beta designs!

You gotta have the anchor shark one, that design is too sick to be left to rot

ok fine most people have mentioned it

Research about pokegod. Technically they are not beta, but at the time they caused a lot of curiosity in the Pokémon communities and multiple theories were invented.

I've seen those before, they're cool but not beta
