Scrapped for either space or redesigns; most of Gen 4's were just placeholder sprites but the huge amount of Gen 2 betas is sad. Fortunately most of them got redesigned and put into gen 2 and later gens but they're so different that you can draw them and make them into Fakemon, which is something I want to do lol.
Rinrin is cute and I want it to be a thing. Same for beta Wooper, and I prefer beta Kingdra and Octillery's designs to the current ones. Madame, Kurusu, Kotora, the little wolf-sheep, and beta Mantine also deserve to exist.
Beta Garchomp looks like a regional form. I kinda like it.
Beta Arceus looks like a primordial deity, a shapeless incomprehensible being, and perhaps this is its true form and the one it shows the Trainer is merely a version it creates for you to make sense of it.
