I’ve never really considered myself a beta pokemon fan artist but here we are again 🤣. It’s beta dex time!!! Would you have liked these starters?! Long intro below:
About a month ago the #spaceworld1999 demo & another (Korean) #pokemongoldandsilver beta leaked. Unfortunately, everyone started deleting posts related to these leaks due to Nintendo ninjas going after people. This got me thinking- there’s still a way to see them! We’ve gotten so many #lostpokemon between gen’s 1 &2 and I for one would love to see art for ALL of them as if they were released in their respective gens. So this is the 1st image in my new project that is a reimagining of sorts, of cut #Pokémon integrated into the official dex. I’m starting with #pokemongeneration2 cause that’s where the bulk of the #pokemonbeta mons are.
The plan started as small sketches turned pen & ink but it’s been evolving (pun always intended), as I hope to compile them, color them, and present a full dex!
My 1 disclaimer is that this is how I have personally interpreted them- while staying as close to the source material as possible.And I’m doing my best to get every form and #unreleasedpokemon in- while being as logical and practical as possible. So you may not totally agree with what I come up with but at the very least every mon will be represented! I will share my thought process in each post.
Up 1st are the Gen 2 beta #starterpokemon .To be brief, you’ve probably seen most of them before. Note worthy changes are to the grass line being a mix of a beta sunkern, a new closed plant mon and a repurposed beta Bayleef who ended up having ties to surkern in the recent #pokemonleaks .I just think they fit well together. I also mixed multiple similar sprites and old concept art together for #honoguma and volbear. Lastly, the Cruz line is 1 of my absolute favorite cut bets lines. I wish so badly that they were real.
