Beta Elements and Concepts

This is a list of beta elements and concepts from the series.

## Story

### All Versions

* There was supposed to be a prologue episode (not counting *Enter Nanette and Glorysia!*), but it got scrapped for an unknown reason.

### Anime

* Glorysia was going to get an arc about her.

### Manga

* Nanette was not planning to go to Galar at the end of the Alola arc.

## Characters

* Some characters from HMVJ were originally going to play a part in the series, but they were instead seen as easter eggs.
* Hilda and Rosa were originally going to be named Addison and Natalie, but the idea got scrapped after it was decided that ALL of the canon game characters needed a counterpart in Legends.
* Irranda was originally planned to be a member of the team, but it was decided she would be a supporting character to add to the idea that there are other Cures and fairy warriors with different Élémens out there besides the main heroes.
* Jim was supposed to wear the same outfit as his future counterpart from HMVJ.
* The canon Cures were going to appear, but the idea got scrapped due to the overwhelming amount of mains.
* Ash Ketchum was intended to appear, but the idea got scrapped, making Chase Delia's son instead. Despite this, Dragonet's powered-up form keeps the 'Ash' in 'Ash-Dragonet'.
	+ This is due to every Ninja Dragonet with Battle Bond being called "Ash-Dragonet" and looking like an Ash-Greninja for unknown reasons. Even a Ninja Dragonet with the form seen in a painting has the same appearance (black cheeks, etc) as Ash-Greninja, despite being dead for centuries before Ash was even born.
* Chase and Elaine were going to have black and brown eyes respectfully, but this was changed to brown and blue.
* Kira Cho (Cure Nectar), the supporting Beautifly-themed Cure, was originally able to fly. However, it was deemed ridiculous for a Cure based on scents (specifically tea tree and nectar) to fly, so her wings were changed to just a giant back bow like Eternal Sailor Moon.
* Delia wasn't going to adopt Kiara Ketchum prior to the series.
* Jim's 2nd manufacturing company was supposed to be named Magnus Corporation, but got renamed as Porter Future-Tech Industries.

## Anime Episodes

* There was going to be an episode where Nanette became attached to Miraculous, but it got scrapped after her creator disapproves.
	+ In *Mewtwo's Revenge EVOLUTION*, however, there are a bit of similarities in the transformations, revealing it wasn't planned to be scrapped.
* Pudding and Carrot Cake were going to get an episode dealing with them feeling insecure about how they were conceived, but was scrapped due to the network not being able to find a way to create such an episode in a kid-friendly manner.
* Nanette was not going to lose her life in the second-to-last episode of both versions of the series, but she remains alive in the end.

## Manga Chapters

* Nanette was going to say in a scrapped chapter that she might have been conceived into her mother's womb because of being the 19th spark, but Marina was going to slap her sister for saying something like that in a kid-friendly world.

## Items

* The Élémens weren't going to exist, but this has since been changed.

## Transformations

* Yume and Momoka were originally going to have to hold hands to transform, but it was decided that they just have to be near each other and say the phrase in unison. They do, however, hold hands at the beginning of the sequence.
* Everyone was supposed to get a PreChanMirror-esque mirror and cards in order to switch outfits for certain situations, but was scrapped since it would be too overpowered and too convenient.
	+ Its counterpart, the ÉléChanMirror, did replace all the main Élémen Items in the canon version, however.
* The Cures were originally planned to have 5 minutes before detransforming after using their purifying attack, but it was dropped and only the food requirement was kept. The 5-minute timer was kept for Pokémon with Mega Evolutions or Dragonet's powered-up mode after they use the signature or former signature attack of their species if they have one, or either the moves Return or Mucus Shuriken for the latter.

## Attacks

* Nanette's basic attack was originally going to be called **Bright *Light Shine***, not **Bright *Sparkle***.

## Songs

* *Start! Pretty Cure Operation!* was intended to be the sole transformation song for the 4Kids dub, but it ended up becoming the song heard during all of the magical transformations in each dub.
	+ When the Winx transform without the other teams, however, the transformation song intended from their origin series plays instead, though this doesn't happen in the Japanese and 4Kids dubs.

## Other

* There was supposed to be an ani-manga, but it got scrapped either because of difficulties or for unknown reasons.
