>>43704551Man, anything they think they can salvage as a pokémon, they withhold till a later Generation to see if they can fit it better there (Leafeon made for Gen II, released in Gen IV).

If any of those designs were truly any good, we'd have gotten them or a revised version of them at this stage.
