#Kotora

[gooompy]

For a while I've been wanting to dig through the graveyard of beta Pokemon designs and steal something for myself, so here we are! Kotora was this little round tiger creachure, so I thought a snowman-themed white tiger variant would be neat.

The handy graphic is taken from Asmorano's articles on beta Pokemon and their design history! If you have some time to kill and want to learn about the little weirdos erased from Pokemon history I'd recommend it

Who doesn't love beta pokemon? I especially love Kotora.

I finished these last weekend, just put the finishing touches on the embroidery. I'm so rusty, I haven't done embroidery in centuries! The pompom was pretty easy though, this little one will be sitting in a mini berry basket on my desk.

Kotora

[pokemon-future]

I created DS/Generation 4-style sprite updates for some of the Pokémon from the Gold and Silver Spaceworld ‘97 demo!

This is part of a larger fan project expanding on the lore/story of Kanto and Johto. You can find more on the project here, and more about these Pokémon below the cut!

(All “english” names are entirely made up based on the original names’ etymologies and pre-existing Pokémon naming conventions)

Let’s learn more about the Pokémon you can find in the alternate past!

Kotora/Sirkitt

Type: Electric

This adorable electric tiger likes to snack on the electricity from generators. If it gets too excited it make shock you on accident! (If you anger it, it will shock you on purpose.) Its evolved form is believed to cause thunderstorms.

Kotora/Sirkitt evolves into Raitora/Raiger at level 35.

Rinrin/Purring

Type: Dark

This excitable, musical Pokémon wants to share it’s ringing bells and “singing” with as many people as they can, whether their audience likes it or not! They are a favorite pet because they are easy to keep track of.

Evolves into Berurun/Chimeow at level 28.

Beta Porygon2

Type: Normal

This upgraded version of Porygon has been redesigned to look more cuddly. Perhaps this went a bit too far?

A Porygon upgraded in the past using a Bata Floppy (which is only obtainable in the past) will evolve into Porygon2 (beta form). This is the only way to evolve Porygon without trading. The only non-aesthetic difference between Beta Porygon2 and Porygon2 is that the beta form can learn discharge, nuzzle, and explosion.

Beta Marill (plus Pink Azumarill)

Type: Water/Fairy

Beta Marill and the pink/beta form of Azumarill are essentially the same as their original counterparts. However, upon returning to the present, they change from simply being water type to being fairy/water type. They also have the primary ability of Cute Charm, instead of Thick Fat or Huge Power.

Beta Cleffa

Type: Normal/Fairy

It’s literally just cleffa. I just thought it’d be fun to edit it to match its beta closer. It’s simply an alternate form, and has no impact on evolutions.

This alternate form, along with all other beta baby Pokémon, are not exclusively found in the wild in the past. They also have a 50% of hatching from eggs if the mother/their evolved form was holding an “Ilex Incense.” In battle Ilex Incense will boost the power of any of the holder’s moves if the holder was caught in the past.

Honoguma/Cubustion

Type: Fire

This Pokémon is a favorite among children for its cuddly appearance and boundless energy!

Honoguma/Cubustion evolves into Borubea/Igneursa at level 16, and then into Dainabea/Bearnamite at level 36.

Kurusu/Kruse

Type: Water

This shy Pokémon likes to hide in caves or underwater, rarely interacting with humans. For many years, its highest evolution was believed to be a myth!

Kurusu/Kruse evolves into Akua at level 16, and then into Akueria at level 36.

Animon/Alike

Type: Normal

It can transform into anything, including strong metals.

If you give a Ditto a Metal Coat while in the past, it will evolved into Animon/Alike. Animon/Alike can also learn more moves than Ditto’s trademark “transform.” It can learn metal claw and iron tail by leveling up (metal claw is learned upon evolution), and it can be taught normal- and steel-type moves via machine.  

Alternate Hoppip Line: Hoppip/Purroot, Skiploom/Kitbloom, Jumpluff/Dandylion

Type: Grass

Purroot are often kept indoors by their trainers so that they aren’t blown away in the wind!

The bloom on Kitbloom’s head collects energy while it naps in the sun. It can often be heard purring.

Dandylion rides along the wind to travel and spread spores across long distances.

This alternate version of the Hoppip line, which replace the Hoppip line in the wild when you are in the past, is essentially identical to Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff as we know them. The only difference is that they can now learn scratch and fury swipes, and their primary ability is now Own Tempo.

Koinya/Cointten

Type: Normal

This baby Pokémon has not yet opened its eyes, but it can find coins and other metal knick-knacks by smell alone. It likes to sleep on piles of coins.

Koinya/Cointten evolves into Meowth with maxed friendship. It has a 10% of holding an item, and within those odds it is a 20% chance of holding an amulet coin, and 80% of holding a pearl.

Thanks for checking these out! I’m really proud of these sprites, all things considered. If you want to learn more about the beta Pokémon, these two Bulbapedia pages are quite informative, and you can check out these links if you are interested in the Pokemon Future and/or Memories of Kanto projects! You can also find out more about the time warp idea, specifically, here.

This little tiger, Tyker, takes center stage as today's Beta Pokemon of the Day!

A well-known lost Pokemon rumored to be spotted in both Kanto and Johto over the years, this little electric ball of fluff can be a real handful, but they're extremely lovable.

Remember, unused characters/models/whatever like Kotora(Pokemon), ELH(Luigi’s mansion), HinoKuri2(Mario Sunshine), and Kug(Mario Sunshine) are public domain.

Since they were left unused, they were never copyrighted or anything.

so basically, you and everyone else can just snatch these things and make content with them:

Been doodling some ideas for fan pokémons/fakemons recently and since today is Pokémon Day... And since i haven’t posted anything in a long time...

These are just rough ideas and the colors aren’t defenitive in any way

(Also, the Spheal’s variant is loosely based off ‘’Kotora’’, aka the best scrapped pokémon design ever, to me)

Take some cute Pokémon! This is for a set of stickers where I’m trying out some different materials.

My Pokémon OC is 60% Litleo, 30% my favorite color, and 10% Kotora.
