For decades, diehards were searching for the mysterious demo of Pokemon Gold that showed up at Nintendo's Spaceworld show in 1997. Tales were told of unused Pokemon evolutions, de-evolutions and creatures that were cut entirely and never seen again. This early build, has only surfaced in magazines and some grimy VHS footage. Until now.
Since getting their hands on the holy grail of Pokemon history, The Cutting Room Floor, 4chan and Reddit have gutted the Spaceworld demo and found all sorts of wild stuff, including Pokemon made by Nintendo that no one has ever seen. Don't worry, not all of the findings are as horrifying as Ditto's lost evolution Animon (shown above).
The spaceworld 97 Pokemon gold demo has leaked and is being documented. Look at all these unused pre evolutions, evolutions and Pokémon eventually added after Gs. Not to mention the legendary dogs look like deviant art drawings. pic.twitter.com/56m8ANZIo1 -- ThatTallGuy[Legendary] (@Seanbo124) May 31, 2018

So this beta version of Pokemon Gold has a bunch of never before seen rejected Pokémon designs. One reminded me of a @DrawfeeShow episode https://t.co/jCDldDa7u6 pic.twitter.com/pq5jcbfh0L -- Pasu (@Pasu2k) May 31, 2018
