General Differences#

This marks the first available prototype build to implement the game's most controversial feature: the removal of past Pokémon (commonly referred to as Dexit). Compared to the previous build, only these Pokémon are still left in the game:

  • Lizardon/Charizard
  • Kamex/Blastoise
  • Pigeot/Pidgeot
  • Arbo/Ekans
  • Arbok
  • Pikachu
  • Coil/Magnemite
  • Garagara/Marowak
  • Baivanilla/Vanilluxe
  • Bachuru/Joltik
  • poodle/Furfrou
  • frog3/Gekkouga/Greninja
  • tyranno1/Chigoras/Tyrunt
  • aurora2/Amaruruga/Aurorus
  • ice3/Kurebēsu/Avalugg
  • kawahagi/Hagigishiri/Bruxish
  • beastishigaki/Stakataka

Notably, Stakataka wasn't available in the final game at launch, but became available with the second DLC.

Title Screen#

The logo and promo art has disappeared, although all the effects associated with the previous prototype's title screen are still there.
