Seems that some of the imiges are not really beta ones, like the Pokemon Center one. But I got to say I haven't seen anything that look like the attacks.

By the way, wasn't Ruby and Sappire a long time ago? I'm just wondering, but why are you searching for beta images?

 

[Cross Marian]

but why are you searching for beta images?

Is because i am an huge fan of "the world of the beta Pokémon stuff" and also i am a videogames beta information fan, and also because I want to give a hand to Bulbapedia to update the wiki pages.

Oh okay.

Is possible now update this page?

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

Thank you, people.

Not to bring your hopes down or anything, but with Black 2/White 2 being out and all, I don't think that article is going to be the staff's priority at the moment. But then, I wouldn't know.

Also, call me skeptical but as I don't speak the same language as a good deal of these links, I can't see any sort of confirmation that these are all really beta images, and even if they were, most of them are still included in the main game, it seems. The main difference just seems to be a difference in texture and shading, but that may be due to screenshot renderings of the early 2000's being not as great.

Is possible contact a wiki page editer for update the page? Thank you.

I think you would have to go to the big wiki itself for that one.

The first attack is Scary Face, and the second one looks like maybe String Shot or something, though I'm not sure. I'm not really sure if the rest are beta images or just very early leaked pics from when Ruby and Sapphire were just announced.

DEFINITELY beta, possibly even alpha. The first set look like they came from a rather early build of the demo, actually. If you want the ultimate clue, look at the shading and colors on many of those pictures. They look like a half-way point between Crystal and Ruby/Sapphire. That's very telling since the demo had clean colors and shading, which were much closer to the final product than what you see in those pictures.

I had that thought too, but instead of it being an in between point between the games, it looks more like a low quality image. Compare the screens to actual in game screens, and they don't look very different other than the poor quality.

That is possible, though it could also be that the developers just stuck with the basic design and simply recolored/reshaded to take better advantage of the GBA's color depth. I doubt we'll know for sure unless an actual developer steps forwards to tell us.

I will say, the two battle images of the trainers is either very early or from a build just before the finalization of that screen. Notice the green "speech bubble" box around the PokéBalls of each trainer? Also, take a closer look at the Pokédex screens. First, the one with the Duskull has a different design for the upper box, with at least one of those circles likely made to show off the footprint of the Pokémon. While I'm not as well-versed as I should be with the Japanese Ruby/Sapphire games,the other shows the use of the "??" sprite, which I believe was a beta element at the least. I know the US versions use the "circled ?" sprites for unseen Pokémon.

Those are images from Ruby/Sapphire.

Those are images from Ruby/Sapphire.

... Yes, yes they are. From the beta version of it.

Anyway, I found a beta Shroomish sprite on one of those pages; Bulbapedia's page mentions the sprite and a few others but doesn't actually have them uploaded. Also, there's an old version of the wild Pokemon's HP bar that has a significant blank space where the HP in numbers would go if it were a Pokemon on the player's side of the field.

first unused move could be mean look??? I dont know thats what came to my head, never the less it got changed.

Im surprised how old wailmer and shroomish look, im glad they got replaced but good finds.
