Would any of these unused Pokemon been better for inclusion in the final game? Do you think any of them are cool?

That wolf pelt one is the standout. Maybe the eel too with some further development

To be honest, most are REALLY rough and don't really feel like they belong into the game or at least not in that generation (like the Vodoo doll and Jiangshi ones or Borigon :DDD) and more like silly shit you end up with after the first brainstorming session where everything goes.
Probably the ones that totally should've been kept are Remoraid and Octillery's early designs since they make so much more sense than what we ended up with.

>>7994016
wolf pelt mon for sure
ditto evo would've made sense for gen 2 but not so much as the franchise progressed
farfetch'd evo is cool as its own design but shouldn't be an evo
the rest are either pointless babies or just real ugly

the middle row looks great and everything else sucks.

One on the middle left's name is a double-reading: Two Ends, not just Twins. Haven't heard anyone else noticing this obvious fact as of yet.

I'm honestly terrified at how low quality the concepts for these must have been

I actually think they had decent quality 'mons for the first three Gens. I didn't care for RSE one bit, but the monster design still had it going on. It's truly unfortunate that the first debut of 3D mainline Pokemon games also marked an intractable and irreversible slide in Creatures, Inc.'s monster output.

Daily reminder that Magmar is one of the worst designs of any generation

Nah, I think of plenty I hate more.

>> No.7995210

>>7995207
There are worse designs, but not that many worse. Magmar would be below average even in gen 7/8, let alone gen 1/2/3. Also the only monster where both the baby evolution and the later-gen evolution are actually improvements.

Electabuzz ain't much better.

Magmar was the coolest fire type to me ad a kid, but I think its because the anime made him seem a lot stronger

>> No.7995247

>>7995226
Electabuzz is a similar shape overall, but at least his skin/fur is a fairly consistent pattern over the entire body, and has a generally recognizable animal-man design (some kind of chubby cat man). Magmar is a fucking mess. Duck bill, his eyebrow is like a pair of flaming tits, his belly looks pregnant, his arms are coated with pinata fuzz, his back has spikes, his ankles have what look like leather bondage straps, and the fire tail is redundant considering the Charmander line. There is not a single thing appealing about that design.

>> No.7995251

>>7995247
Fair enough. Still can't stand his baby pre-evo though.
