Hey everyone! I’ve been trying to find a complete list of all the Pokemon from the Proto Gen 3 era. You know, those early designs and concepts that never made it into the final games. Does anyone know if there’s a fan-made Pokedex or spreadsheet floating around that covers these creatures?
I heard rumors about a Google Doc that supposedly had a bunch of info on these proto-Pokemon. But I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Has anyone else come across something like this? It would be super cool to see all those unused designs in one place.
If there isn’t already a resource like this out there, maybe we could work together to create one? I think it would be an awesome project for the community. Let me know what you all think or if you have any leads on where to find this kind of info. Thanks!
I’ve actually been down this rabbit hole before, and it’s a fascinating topic! While I haven’t come across a comprehensive Pokedex for Proto Gen 3 creatures, I did stumble upon some interesting resources during my research.
There’s a website called The Cutting Room Floor that has a section dedicated to Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire beta content. It includes some early designs and concepts that didn’t make it into the final games. It’s not a complete Pokedex, but it’s a good starting point.
Another great source is the Pokemon Beta Project forum. They have threads discussing various proto-Pokemon and sometimes share concept art or early sprites. You might need to do some digging, but there’s a wealth of information there.
As for creating a community-driven Pokedex, that’s an excellent idea! We could start a collaborative spreadsheet or wiki page. I’d be happy to contribute some of the information I’ve gathered over the years. It would be a great way to preserve this piece of Pokemon history.
I’ve been following the Proto Gen 3 discussions for years, and there’s no comprehensive Pokedex I’m aware of. However, I’ve found valuable information scattered across various sources. The Spriter’s Resource has a section on Gen 3 beta sprites, which includes some unreleased designs. Additionally, the Internet Archive hosts old Geocities sites with early Gen 3 leaks and speculation from that era.
Creating a community Pokedex is an ambitious project. It would require extensive research and fact-checking to ensure accuracy. We’d need to differentiate between confirmed proto designs and fan speculation. If you’re serious about this, I’d suggest starting a dedicated forum thread or subreddit to gather interested contributors and establish guidelines for the project.
