Now, I was searching through Wikipedia (looking for Delibird by the way) when I noticed that it had the names of pokmon after the English translation that were in the beta games of Red and Blue, but didn't make it into the final games. I thought this was some interesting information, so I decided to share this with all of you. Here is the names of what pokmon were supposed to be.
