With all the additions to the franchise over the years, all these scrapped designs could come back in some form. Gorochu could be Mega Raichu, Wartortle's original evolution could be a regional variant, the elephant should've been the Gigantamax for Copperajah, the ice yokai could be Jynx's evolution.
Do you think there wouldn't have been any or as much controversy over Jynx if we got that beta ice yokai design instead?
