Similar to the previously unearthed prototype designs<\/a> for Pok\u00e9mon Gold & Silver<\/a><\/strong>, further discoveries seem to have been made about original Pok\u00e9mon Red & Blue<\/a><\/strong> monsters. A fresh batch of prototype assets has been published by Helix Chamber<\/a> which includes clearer, better-quality versions of previously uncovered goodies.<\/p>\n

The whole story surrounding the anonymous origins of these prototypes should have keen pok\u00e9storians<\/em> on their guard, as it did Helix Chamber<\/a> when the fan group was first approached, but the authenticity of the sprites has been independently verified against other data – all these assets appear to be legitimate.<\/p>\n

We already knew<\/a> from previous documentation that an earlier name for the g<\/em>otta catch ’em all<\/em> game was ‘Capsule Monsters’, but now we get a much clearer picture of a prototype title screen which shows an early pok\u00e9ball as the ‘O’ in ‘Monsters’.<\/p>\n

Another picture shows an early version of what appears to be a Rhydon standing over the revised ‘Pocket Monsters’ logo:<\/p>\n

There’s plenty more to check out: an entire folder’s worth of assets for fans to download and examine in detail, including an early Blastoise named ‘Totartle’ and analysis of the fabled Missingno \u2013 the well-known glitch that’s easily found in-game \u2013 plus a whole sheet of early designs.<\/p>\n

\"Pokemon\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Head over to Helix Chamber<\/a> for the exhaustive lowdown.<\/p>\n

Think Pok\u00e9mon would have taken over the world under a different guise? Are any of these prototype ‘mon more interesting than Metapod? Drop us a line in the comments…<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
