I think that's it for Capsule Monsters. And, also, I guess it's not all Capumon stuff, and some are sort of redundant, but they're still rare and wonderful images.
By the way, my mind exploded when I first found these - much closer and better pictures than we previously had, and some new material. I'm working on getting the two pictured books which have some of this stuff in them.

Wait a minute... Sugimori made that Latios/Blaziken fusion?!

>>792
Absolutely, along with the Torchic with wing ears. I made a post with two better images of the two in /smeargle/ a little while ago.
The flying Blaziken would be the Flying-type final evo of Torchic, since Torchic is, after all, a bird. Undoubtedly they had alternate verions of other pokes, too.

This Image really stood out to me.

I like that it shows a town that never happened and a Pokémon that never existed.
I also like the view and look of the town and the fact that you can see someone riding a Pokémon and it's also bearing cargo on it's back is really appealing to me.

I wish that Pokémon was real, it would be one of my favorites, it looks like Ryhorn and Venusaur fused.

This image is inspiring.
Thank you Red.

Name: Dragon

Left name: (Godora? maybe like Godzilla?)
Right name: Gorilla

I think it's just a Rhyhorn - no Venusaur mixation.
The hotel (Pokémon Center interior) is also showing real-lifeness. They are all wonderful images.

Looking through this thread left me with a bitter sweet thing going. I love the clarity of the pics, seeing what started it all but never happened and that also happens to be the bitter part. I love all these original ideas. Because they were before it was just "Hey Satoshi and Sugimori combine an animal with an element and draw it so that furries can love it." Its when Sugimori and Satoshi had their own flow with it.

I dunno. It made me feel weird and i probably didnt word anything right. Im too high for this shit. But yeah it makes me feel weird seeing what pokemon was SUPPOSED to be and never will be.

Found this somewhere. One of the promotional artwork back before R/G came out.

>>811
Blue's face!! How exciting. I wonder what it's from?

The proto Torchic family is incredibly fascinating. Pre-generation one stuff is already intriguing and very rare, but pre-generation three stuff or pre-generation two stuff almost seem like even rarer finds.

>>772
The proto-Treecko's art style seems akin to the pre-generation 1 art. Assuming it was drawn around then, could Treecko have been a beta Pokemon that initially was not included?

Common among most of the scans is a TP score underneath the HP, which makes me wonder about the switch from a usual MP system to the PP system we have.

But what got me the most were the sketches of the town, Pokemon center, and the trainers. It gave a glimpse of a completely different Pokemon world that a simple GB/DS game doesn't show. A world that the anime doesn't do justice. A world that's even closer to Gamefreak's vision than even Pokemon Special, which was said to be the closest work to capturing the Pokemon world's spirit.

>>810
Nostalgia fag. 4th gen is just as good if not better then Blue and Red.

>>874

Im not saying anything about any game being better. At all. Stop being mad bro.

>>834

double posting but yes, i agree with what you are saying cause thats what i was trying to say.

lol capsurue monsters.

>>811

I discovered this. :P
It's not before RG. It's from an Onigiri-like book, Pokemon Kurafuto (Craft?). Actually three, DX, DX2, DX3. But the artwork is the same in all three.

<- Full scan, still small

>>2492
Yeah this is a good thread.

>>778
Clearer version.

Awesome posts Red.

This last one is a relatively new file - a clear, large version of a previously small-only. Not Capumon, but still beta-y G/S rarestuff.

>>2953
Freakin sweet.
I think most of the ones I have are already here too. I'll check sometime if there isn't.

Seen in GameCenter CX Pokémon special. Note It could be CM or PM, Capsule/Pocket Monsters. Which monster do you think is between the letters?

Now this one is bizarre. From a magazine back in '97, it showed this prototype picture of the Weedle and Poliwag families, along with a possible alternate design for Dragonite/air. It'd be nice to see if there are other pics showing more prototype Pokemon.

And that is that.

>>2993
Which magazine? The first image seems to indicate that it was on the Game Freak website in 1997. The art in the images following makes me skeptical, though. But if real, I'm guessing the poli-final would've been called Poliking.

>>3000
Guess that kinda makes sense because of how they made Politoed evolve via King's rock later on, but the art style doesn't look like any of the "concept art" stuff I've ever seen before, so I guess this is either all done by some previously unknown concept artist for Game Freak, or else (what I suspect to be far more likely) this is some fan-made selection of images, hoax or simple fanart, made to be a fake set of concept sketches. Particualrly, the Ledian-thing and whatever the hell >>2997 is supposed to have been both appear to be nothing like the style seen in images like we've got here from before.

>>3000
I don't think the original thread where these were posted pointed any magazine in particular. Could've been Corocoro or some other magazine that possibly went under during the 14 years.

>>3001
True, the pictures may look fake, but the original picture's images are small and blurry. The other pictures I posted could be legit, not because of the Japanese descriptions, but because the Pokemon in the first image kinda looks pixalated, like they were in a prototype Red/Green. The games were in development for a good while.
