MORE SUBMAS BETA SPRITES

figured out how to look through the repo itself and not just builds and found 4 more submas beta sprites!!! first two here.

these two are from february 2010, they're the the earliest non placeholder sprites.

and these two are from march 2010. interestingly their final sprites were also added on the same day.

we now have a total of six beta sprites! and there may be even more hidden elsewhere in the files. this was all in the folder labeled "fldmmdl" in the repo, btw!

It’s been cool getting to see Ingo and Emmet’s beta designs! (Bless @enhancedpartytime for working hard to get the sprites and feed this fandom!!)

i do think that togekiss and krookodile are surprisingly cute fits for them honestly. they could make it work

idk still what exactly that bug did, who got who, if it only happened on multi or if it was singles/doubles as well? a bug where they each got both pokemon resulting in a 4v8 on the multi lines would be insaaannne. but togekiss generally works better on singles for paraflinch and then i think krookodile fits with emmet's team better (over haxorus, sorry bud. even no longer being as good against the fire/water/grass core i feel like chandelure and eelektross mitigate that, otherwise i could imagine it over excadrill as well).

if i were to swap em i'd probably give togekiss on emmet's team a razor claw and then wish light screen nasty plot and air slash instead since it can't really rely on paraflinch in a 2v2 and eelektross can supplement the paralysis either way. if krookodile were on ingo's team I'd keep it the same but give it life orb (assuming it'd replace excadrill) or choice band if it was replacing haxorus

Final "beta" grass monke in a different style.

It's not really that different from the final version, but there are still some differences. Can you spot them?

i've seen a couple of people point out that ingo and emmet's eye colours in the beta sprites are different but i wanted say that they're also different in the actual games. the eye colour is the same colour as the border of the emblem on the hat in bw so i assume when they redid the sprite for whoever's was done second (probably ingo's) both colours were shifted to be darker? like they used the same texture or something due to the overworld sprites having a limited pallet, idk. i'm sure someone more well versed in sprite art could give a better or more in-depth reason LOL

either way it's not exclusive to the beta sprites or anything, their eyes are different colours in both the og games and b2w2. still probably due to limitations on how they had to do the sprites rather than an intentional design choice though 😔
