Pokémon Red and Blue Versions cut content

This page lists cut content from the Pokémon Red and Blue games. The content has appeared in the beta versions of the games, but was scrapped out or changed.
==Capsule Monsters Pitch Pokémon==
These Pokémon are present in an early concept pitch booklet for Pokémon when it was still under the title Capsule Monsters. They were likely not intended to be made into real Pokémon and were created for demonstration purposes.
English name	Japanese name	Design	Notes
Godzillante 	Gojirante 	 	Design is similar to Tyranitar and Godzilla.
Gorillimo 	Goriraimo 	 	Design is similar to Donkey Kong from the Donkey Kong series or King Kong.
??? 	Kabiin 	 	Design is similar to Snorlax but more human-like and only made up of a head. Body may have inspired Jigglypuff (as the arms and feet look very much like Jigglypuff's). Just like Snorlax, it is a caricature of Pokémon game designer Koji Nishino.
??? 	Buhi 	 	Design is of a mammalian creature with no back legs and a round belly.
Dragon4 	Doragon4 	 	Design is similar to Charizard.
??? 	Papyo 	 	Design is of a bug-like creature that emits some kind of cloud or gas. May have inspired Koffing due to it appearing to be emitting clouds of gas. It's index number actually goes beyond the originally planned 190 Pokémon once set to appear in Pokémon Red & Green.
Along with these, several different monsters are mentioned without visuals. These include Mirage Monsters, PowerKings, Green Dragons, and Fireflies. Again, these were likely for demonstration purposes are were presumably not intended to be made into Pokémon. Interestingly, green dragon Pokémon and firefly Pokémon would debut in later generations.

#??? 	??? 	Kasanagi 	 	Early design of Kakuna. Looks very different from its final design.
#??? 	??? 	??? 	 	Early design of Beedrill. The concept was more cockroach-like with multiple arms. May have inspired Ledian's design.

#??? 	??? 	Nyosuka 	 	Early design of Poliwrath or Politoed. Shows the King's Rock item before it was in-game.
#??? 	??? 	??? 	 	Early design of Seel. It is shown to have a spotted body, closely resembling a leopard seal. It has two giant tusks, lots of head-hair, a big nose, and two giant eyes with a dark face.
#019 	Lapras 	Rapurasu 	 	Early design of Lapras. Has a longer snout, no ear curls, and a bigger body.
#021 	Omega 	Same as English	 	Design is very similar to Gyaoon. It has a big bill-like mouth. Front body and horns are similar to Aggron.
#022 	Gyarados 	Same as English	 	Design still keeps its serpentine look (except the body design and face). It resembles a Tardigrade with a large toothy mouth.
#026 	Strike 	Sutoraiku 	 	Early design of Scyther. Its body looks more mammalian with two hoofed legs and two scythe hands.
#031 	??? 	Gyaoon 	 	Design is similar to Rokku or Godzillante but with a larger mouth.

#050 	Baloonda 	??? 	 	Design is of a floating ball with a face on it. May have been a beta design for Jigglypuff as both Pokémon use a balloon-like motif.
#052 	??? 	Buu 	 	A possible evolution, male counterpart, or early design of Jynx. It's name is also similar to Erebuu and Buubaa, Electabuzz and Magmar's Japanese names, suggesting that there may have been a Jynx/Electabuzz/Magmar trio of some sort. Its internal index number (#052) is located in between Magmar (#051) and Electabuzz (#053) as well, further proving the possibility.

#067 	Cactus 	Kakutasu 	 	Design is of a cactus. May have influenced Pokémon like Cacnea or Maractus due to all of them being cacti.
#068 	Jag 	Jaggu 	 	Design is of a shark with a spear nose. May have influenced Sharpedo or Mega Sharpedo.

#137 	??? 	??? 	 	Its cry is similar to Gyaoon but higher-pitched. May have been a pre-evolution for Gyaoon.
#140 	??? 	??? 	 	Design looking very much like Magneton, if not the exact same. However, the side-heads are missing their magnets and they contain two small spots on them.
#146 	??? 	??? 	 	An evolution of Marowak. An obvious tie between the Cubone evolution line and Kangaskhan. It carries a Cubone baby in its pouch.
#156 	Golppy 	Gyopin 	 	A pre-evolved form of Goldeen. This design also reappeared in the Gold & Silver beta, and is still scrapped.

#175 	??? 	Gorochu 	 	The illusive evolution of Raichu. The concept has been confirmed in an interview before.

==Generation 2 Pokémon==
Inside of the code for Red & Blue, there is an Internal Index Number list. This list lists every Pokémon in the game along with a few MissingNo. glitches. The list goes down every Pokémon at which time they were programmed into the game or designed and finalized. All of the MissingNo. characters in the list can be obtained by hacking and when traded to Generation II, have the code of Generation II Pokémon. The numbers of each MissingNo. Pokémon also match up with only Beta Pokémon listed above.[1]

==Moves==
English name	Japanese name 	Notes
Fire Breath 	??? 	Though the PP is stated to be 70, at the time of development, Trainer Points were needed in order to use moves. It could be used by Dragon4.
Punch 	??? 	Very realistic move name. Possibly a basic move like Tackle or Scratch.
Uppercut 	??? 	Very realistic move name. Possibly an early replacement for Sky Uppercut, even though Sky Uppercut didn't debut until Generation III.
Baibai Punch	??? 	Very strange name. Baibai is similar to bye-bye. Could have possibly been an unused OHKO move.
??? 	Shibire Hasami	Translates into Stun Cut. Possibly an early replacement for Razor Wind or Cut.
??? 	Shippo 	Translates into Tail. Possibly the move Tail Whip.
??? 	Hinotama 	Name translates into Fireball.
Mega Fire 	??? 	Another Fire-type move. Possibly an early replacement for Fire Blast.
??? 	Konayuki 	Name translates into Powder Snow, even though Powder Snow didn't debut until Generation II.
Hydro Jet 	??? 	Possibly an early replacement for Hydro Pump.
Elekitel 	??? 	Possibly an early replacement for Thunder Wave or Thunder Shock.
50-Man Volt 	??? 	Possibly a stronger version of Thunderbolt as the move Thunderbolt is listed as 10-Man Volt.
??? 	Ieki 	Name translates into Gastro Acid, even though Gastro Acid didn't debut until Generation IV.
??? 	Honoo 	Name translates into Flame.
Star Freeze 	??? 	Possibly an early replacement for Aurora Beam.
==Characters==
English name 	Japanese name	Purpose 	Notes
Trade NPC 1 	??? 	Used for in-game trading. 	This unused NPC was originally going to be able to trade a Butterfree for a Beedrill. Though this goes unused, it is in the code for every Gen 1 game from Red & Green to Yellow. However, in all of these games, it has a different nickname when traded. In Red & Green for Japan, it is named Pipin. In Blue for Japan and Red & Blue for US, it is named Chikuchiku. In Yellow for Japan and US, it is named Stinger.
Trade NPC 2 	??? 	Used for in-game trading. 	This unused NPC was originally going to be able to trade a Pidgeot for another Pidgeot named "Marty".
Trade NPC 3 	??? 	Used for in-game trading. 	This unused NPC was originally going to be able to trade a Mew for another Mew named "Bart". What is strange is that Mew is only available during an event, so if anyone were to miss said-event, this NPC would be entirely useless. In the Japanese version of Yellow, these still go unused, however, they are both named "Matsumiya".
Professor Oak Battle 	??? 	Trainer battle against Professor Oak 	One of the most commonly known unused content, it is said that through hacking or glitching the game, the player can battle Professor Oak with his team of Pokémon. His team consists of Tauros, Exeggutor, Arcanine, Gyarados and the final evolution of the starter that is not chosen at the beginning of the game by either you or the rival.
Trainer Chief 	??? 	Trainer battle against a class known as Chief.	His design is the exact sprite of Blaine and was instead used as a Trainer sprite instead of a Gym Leader. Most of them took refuge in the Silph Co. building.
Original Blaine Design	??? 	Original design for the Gym-Leader Blaine. 	His design is more closely resembling a soldier with a jacket. An early sketch of the design can be seen on Ken Sugimori's Twitter in a post he made regarding old designs for characters.

==Trivia==
* In an interview with Shigeki Morimoto, it was revealed that there were originally 190 Pokémon planned for Generation I.Smogon
* In a Nintendo Power July 2000 interview with the development team, it was stated that most two-stage Pokémon were intended to be three-stage Pokémon. This can be seen in the scrapped designs for evolutionary relatives of Zubat, Vulpix, Meowth, Psyduck, Goldeen, Pikachu, Cubone, and Ponyta, who all have evolutions or pre-evolutions that aren't used. Out of all these Pokémon, Zubat and Pikachu were the only two Pokémon whose evolution lines have later became three-staged.
