Final Demo

This list contains some of the Pokémon that appeared in Final Demo of Pokémon Gold & Silver. This build comes from much later demos in which most designs were finalized and/or reworked into the current Pokémon. The sprites more resemble the style of the final game.

Dex number	Name	Type	Front sprite	Back sprite	Notes
#162	Ootachi	Normal			Coloration may have inspired Furret's current Shiny coloration.
#168	Ariadone	Bug/Poison			Design is similar to that in the SpaceWorld Demo. The back sprite is nearly identical.
#184	Mitei 04	Water			Design and coloration are completely different. Coloration would go on to be used in Azumarill's Shiny coloration. Back sprite is used by Marill. Its Japanese name "Mitei" means "undecided".
#189	Wataneko	Grass/Flying			Early design of Jumpluff that is much closer to the final version than its SpaceWorld appearance. Instead of three cotton-balls like in the final design, it has five. Its back sprite uses its SpaceWorld design.
#191	Mitei 01	Grass			Early design of Sunkern. Back sprite is obviously a placeholder. Its Japanese name "Mitei" means "undecided".
#193	Tsubomitto	Water/Electric			Early design of Lanturn. Design is much more chubby and has a rounder snout. The back sprite remains as Tsubomitto from the SpaceWorld Demo.
#194	Aipom	Normal			Design is different but closer to the final than the SpaceWorld design.
#195	Madaamu	Normal/Flying			Name, typing, and back sprite suggest this was going to be Madaamu from the SpaceWorld Demo. However, the front sprite shows an early design of Wooper, implying that at the time of the Demo, it was halfway through being replaced.
#202	Tsuinzu	Psychic/Normal			The back sprite and name show that this was a redesign of the Girafarig pre-evolution from the SpaceWorld Demo. The front sprite is nothing more than an outline. However, the front sprite outline was remade into Wobbuffet's back sprite by simply flipping it upside-down, implying this may have later been adapted into Wobbuffet. It shares its index number with Wobbuffet, backing up said possibility.
#205	Tsubotsubo	Bug/Rock			Early design of Shuckle. Design is much worm snake-like and its shell looks like a clay vase.
#206	Nokocchi	Normal			Early design of Dunsparce that lacks wings or a drill tail. The design is much more in-line with depictions of the Tsuchinoko in Japanese mythology.
#213	Purakkusu	Bug/Steel			The front sprite is a crudely drawn concept of Forretress. The back sprite is of Purakkusu from the SpaceWorld Demo, suggesting that it had been only partially replaced.
#215	Nyuura	Dark/Ice			The design of Sneasel from the SpaceWorld Demo. Its color palette is reused for the final design of Sneasel's sprite, possibly explained its discoloration in these games.
#219	Mitei 08	Water/Rock			The front sprite is the finished design of Corsola, however, its back sprite depicts Baririina from the SpaceWorld Demo. Its Japanese name "Mitei" means "undecided".
#222	Mitei 10	Fire			An early design of Slugma. It may have also used aspects from Grimey, Grimer's pre-evolution in the SpaceWorld Demo. The back sprite is a crudely drawn mockup.
#223	Teppouo	Water			Resembles its appearance in the SpaceWorld Demo.
#224	Okutan	Water			Resembles its appearance in the SpaceWorld Demo, though without its helmet. Strangely, its back sprite depicts it with said helmet.
#225	Gifuto	Ice/Flying			Early design of Delibird. Different head, beard, and wings.
#226	Haneei	Water/Flying			Early design of Mantine. Has a large mouth (similarly to real manta rays), has a different back design, and seems to have two turrets instead of one Remoraid.
#230	Kingudora	Water/Dragon			Early design of Kingdra that resembles its appearance in the SpaceWorld Demo. Its front sprite seems to be a revision of its SpaceWorld front sprite.
#236	Gongu	Fighting			Early design of Tyrogue that resembles its appearance in the SpaceWorld Demo.
#237	Kapoeraa	Fighting			Early design of Hitmontop that resembles its appearance in the SpaceWorld Demo.
#246	Yoogirasu	Rock/Ground			An early sprite for Larvitar that is unfinished. Its back sprite uses an early version of Tyranitar's.
#251	Mitei 12	Psychic/Grass			Early design of Celebi. Its Japanese name "Mitei" means "undecided".

Alongside these Pokémon, there is data in the game for four Pokémon without sprites. These four would have been evolutions for Yanma, Girafarig, Shuckle, and Piloswine. Of these Pokémon, Yanma and Piloswine would later receive evolutions in Generation IV with Yanmega and Mamoswine respectively.

Trivia

• Instead of getting their own unique coloration like in the final game, all of the Shiny Pokémon get recolors depending on their color palette.
