Prototype Baby Pokémon

Found in: GFDocs/開発素材DB/★データベース元データ/pokemovie/映画2004/2003mov2.psd.

This document was intended as an internal reference for the Destiny Deoxys movie, which would feature the first appearance of Munchlax. The psd, in addition to Munchlax, also includes a near-final design for Mime Jr. (originally named バリーナ Barīna, a very similar name to the scrapped Mr. Mime pre-evo from Gen II) alongside everyone's favorite scrapped Vulpix pre-evolution, Mikon. This poor fox sure had a rough time.

Cranidos and Rampardos

Artwork for the early designs of Cranidos and Rampardos from late June 2006 was found in GFDocs\開発素材DB\★データベース元データ\01_ポケモン仕様書\09_DP under "416000_PMD personal 060803.fp5" and "416000_PMP personal 060803.fp5". The pose of Rampardos differs slightly from its early sprite, and the eyes of Cranidos in the art are black and white instead of red.
