>>54679326oldfag here, i have some vintage ones:
>Red and Green from FRLG are actually the children or grandchildren of Red and Green from RGBY, because when the character art was first revealed the japanese translation was ambiguous on whether they were new characters or just redesigns>Pokemon Emerald (which was assumed to happen as soon as RS came out) was actually gonna be Pokemon Topaz, because the lines on Rayquaza's body are yellow, not green>Pokemon DP was set in an Ancient Egyptian themed region because Lucario and Weavile were among the first new mons to be revealed and they look Egyptian>Unova was based on Shanghai, not New York>BW's third version was not going to be Gray, but Crimson or Scarlet, because the third element of the Yin Yang is supposedly blood red according to Chinese myth. Both camps got BTFO on this one>BW starter evos were 'proven' to be fake>Sylveon was a Flying or Bug type
