#584 - Tajiri's Lost Creations


In 2018, a manga about the life of Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of the Pokémon franchise, was released. This book revealed many Pokémon designs from Generation I that didn't make it to the final game and had never been discovered before. Apparently, these Pokémon were originally in a poll in which the staff of the games had to vote for their favorite Pokémon designs, and the winners would make it for the final game. The manga shows some of the designs that didn't get enough votes on that poll.
