The Pokemon Gold Beta link came from GF itself. It was deliberate and for two reasons. One was to build up Pokemon interest around the same time as the announcement of Pokemon LGPE. The other was for gen 8. Responses to the many missing or changed Pokemon have been gauged. Don't be surprised if in the next gen, Ditto gets its evolution or Girafarig gets a Mega that looks like the beta form.
