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.
