7 Cut Pokémon Designs That Deserve To Come Back In Gen 10
Plenty of memorable designs have appeared in the games over the years, but there's also a wide variety of interesting concepts that never made it into an actual release. Cut Pokémon designs cover a wide range of territory, from ideas that share DNA with finalized iterations to creatures unlike any that ultimately appeared in the franchise.

Many cut Pokémon with established designs come from the earliest generations of the games, which happen to feature some documentation of a variety of dropped concepts. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color fundamentally limited the amount that could be packed into an entry, so although some programming tricks from Satoru Iwata expanded the amount that Generation 2 could feature, a weeding-out process was still required. To this day, there are many reasons why a Pokémon might not make it into a game, from a lack of originality to possibly even being offensive on religious or cultural grounds.
