Because Tajiri didn't think it fit with his world, unless it got heavily re-designed.

they had to make room for baby pokemon, which were a good idea and not a complete waste of dex space that even game freak themselves hate.

It fits better than most of the new Pokémon, especially the ugly dolphin superhero

that's why Togepi, Mime Jr, and Bonsly all had major roles in the anime

Cool, build a time machine and tell Tajiri that. I'm sure he'll take the rantings of a lunatic EOP over his own innate understanding of how his world should be presented.

That doesn't make any sense. The 1997 demo had both Kotora and 3 times as many babies as the final games had, so that was clearly not the reason.

Betafags can't face the obvious that the cut designs weren't up to muster, so need to appropriate blame on things that did get added as evidence for their beta design being shit.

>guys guys guys the fact that the game was locked at 100 new slots despite there being significantly more than 100 betamons is a coincidence, obviously every single beta pokemon was cut because their designs objectively sucked, there couldn't possibly be any other reason like specific dev bias, type balance, mass marketability, or anything else that I wouldn't be able to use to over-inflate the perceived value of my personal opinions!!!

Acteully I think most beta designs are mid at best. Baby Pokémon are just that bad of an idea

gen 2 was the last time tajiri had any involvment in the development of a pokemon game. whoever designed palafin was probably not working for gamefreak when the first 2 gens were made

Tajiri also dropped off midway through gen 2 development and Masuda took the lead when the development rebooted in like late 98/early 99. Most of these rejected betamons were made before that, there could be a coincidence

They only had room for a certain amount of species, so they had to cut some that they still considered good.

The fact that although they were limited to 101 new mons, they still included Cleffa and Igglybuff shows that they didn't become hacks, they always fucking were
