Haneko, Poponeko, and Wataneko, my beloveds lost to time

There sure are a lot of cat Pokemon in beta Gen 2. Koonya, Rinrin and Berurun, the entire Haneko family, Espeon and the round tigers if you count them. It’s a shame they all got cut or redesigned until only Espeon was left in the final. It’s like somebody went “Oops, too many cats, better balance that” and then they overdid it. Anyway, Poponeko is good and cute and looks like the kind of creature you’d find right outside an RPG protagonist’s hometown.

Again, nothing new but I love them. I wish they weren’t grass/flying tho, I wanna treat them as regional variants of the Jumpluff line.

Haneko looks like a dark or ghost type but that’s just the unfinished look and the bad colors talking. Though the others also have sort of a ghosty vibe because of the lack of legs...

I’m gonna end up headcanoning them as ghost somehow.
