==Generation II==
===Nintendo Space World 1997 demo===
The Nintendo Space World 1997 demos of Pokémon Gold and Silver allowed for the player to explore a very limited portion of Johto, with one of three randomly chosen starters, two of which were never released in the final game.
The two unreleased starters included Honooguma and Kurusu, while Chikorita (known as Happa in the demo) also appeared.▼
A few other Pokémon could be found in the wild, but these were usually only Pokémon that appeared (or were altered versions of those found) in the final game. Furthermore, none of the Pokémon obtained by the player could evolve even though evolved forms of the three starter Pokémon (including an unused second-stage for Chikorita known as Hanamogura) exist in the code.▼

In 2018, a few Nintendo Space World 1997 demo builds (including both regular and debug builds) were leaked on the Internet. With respect for copyright, please do not post Pokémon/information from the alleged leak here (except for those that could be found normally in the demo without glitches or hacking), except the information that was intended to be known.
▲*No. 190: Twins (pre-evolution of Girafarig)
==Generation III==
*Shellos (included later in Generation IV)
*Gastrodon (included later in Generation IV)
*Kaen (Torkoal pre evolution; replaced by Nosepass)
*Black Stone Pokémon (No. 282; Dex entry files found) - May have inspired Roggenrola from Generation V, which is also a dark-colored Rock-type.
*Foster Pokémon (No. 294; Dex entry files found)
*Everlasting Summer Pokémon (No. 297; Dex entry files found)
*Shrub Pokémon (No. 298; Dex entry files found)
*Spirit Pokémon (No. 299; Dex entry files found) - This category is also used by Xatu & Flygon in Japanese media.
*Imp Pokémon (No. 300; Dex entry files found) - ''Pokémon Sword & Shield'' would later introduce Impidimp, an Imp Pokémon (though its category doesn't correlate).
*Peat Moss Pokémon (No. 301; Dex entry files found)
*Hawk Pokémon (No. 316; Dex entry files found) - May have inspired Braviary from Generation V, which is also a bird of prey.
*Flower Pokémon (No. 325; Dex entry files found) - Since this category has been used for multiple other Pokémon, such as Bellsprout & Bellossom, this could literally be anything.
*Timbre Pokémon (No. 331; Dex entry files found) - Category name sounds like Timburr from Generation V.
*Sightseeing Pokémon (No. 334; Dex entry files found)
*Lottery Pokémon (No. 350; Dex entry files found)
*Evolution of 350 (No. 351; Dex entry files not found) - An evolution was referenced in 350's Dex entry, though the method is unknown.
*Rayquaza (Category is White Dragon Pokémon; No. 362; Dex entry files found) - Possibly just an early version of Rayquaza.
*Archaeopteryx Pokémon (No. 374; Dex entry files found) - ''Pokémon Black & White'' would later introduce Archen and Archeops, a pair of Archaeopteryx Pokémon.
*Dragonfly Pokémon (No. 382; Dex entry files found) - Possibly an early version of Yanmega, which implies that Azurill & Wynaut weren't the only evolutionary relatives intended to appear in Generation III.
*Red Spider Lily Pokémon (No. 385; Dex entry files found) - a male only species (as implied by the entry) possibly based on the flower ''lycoris radiata'', which is known as the red spider lily.

It is unknown whether these cries were intended to belong to Shellos and Gastrodon.
(In the May 2007 edition of the now defunct magazine [[wikipedia:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]], Junichi Masuda commented that the development team were unable to put Shellos and Gastrodon in ''{{RS}}'' but they were able to put them in ''{{DP}}''.)
===Generation IV===
{{incomplete2}}
Hidden within the code of ''Diamond and Pearl'' is an unused backsprite presumably belonging to Gastrodon, along with one for Shellos.
The Shellos backsprite is pink like West Sea Shellos, but has the 'wings' belonging to East Sea Shellos.
Line 213 ⟶ 192:
Along with the backsprites for Shellos and Gastrodon, there are a multitude of other sprites, belonging to Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, and Manaphy.
A recent leak revealed early designs for several Generation IV Pokémon such as Grotle, Torterra, Prinplup, Empoleon, the entire Shinx line , a more feral-looking Cranidos line, the Combee line, the entire Gible line, the Hippopotas line, and others, as well as early back sprites and a very different Lickilicky back sprite.
