Gear Station Beta Models!

yup! im not done with beta bw content! today i learned how to open and convert the 3d models from the game :D

gear station went through a bunch of small iterations, but i'll mostly only be covering the big ones here. special thanks to mike on tcfr discord for their bulk imd to nsbmd tool, made this all a lot faster.

first iteration, r5560, was just a placeholder. the next, r5587, a different placeholder.

r13174 is where we see the first unique model

then it stays the same until r13615, where we get the first version of the circular station! its got a different floor and walls, and most notably features a completely different type of train to what we see in the final!

by r21783 there is also a pillar, signs, and a pc.

r27157 is where we get the textures we're familiar with, such as the iconic orange stairs. the trains are also separated out into their own model at this point! they're a lot closer to their finals- but with slightly different textures.

from then until the final revision, r39606, is just a series of adding in all the little details, such as the colored signs.

the files for gear station can be found at /trunk/resource/fldmapdata/land_data/land_res/m_gstation01_00_00.imd and trunk/resource/fldmapdata/build_model/imdfiles/c04_gtrain_01.imd

i have also converted and uploaded every revision of both files for anyone to use! folders include the original imd files, and converted nsbmd, dae, obj, mtl and texture files. do be warned that depending on the file type and the program you open it with, some textures may not be mapped correctly. i recommend using the nsbmd files with apicula for the most accurate mapping.

this is the biggest pokemon leak weve ever seen. holy fuck.

a gamefreak employee got phished in a dev portal. i feel really really bad for them. but at the same time so much of this is amazing. i love cut content. i love seeing the process of making stuff. so i have mixed feelings, but i’m going to set that aside.

ive been here for multiple beta leaks since the spaceworld gold demo in 2018 and the diamond and pearl beta leak somewhere after that. this is by far the most intensive leak of beta pokemon stuff ive seen.

source code and beta builds for gens 3, 4, 5, and later 6 and 7. it is MASSIVE.

there is so fucking much and you can see coverage here

edit: if you dont have twitter (elon is a shitbag i dont blame you) you can go on r/PokeLeaks

this document from junichi masuda made in 2005 is the highlight for me, the symbol used in the hgss arceus event. it seems the legendaries are like a greek pantheon of deities

but we got more

internal development and discussion. universe creation lore, character profiles (e.g. skyla is a sexy latina pilot inspired by jennifer lopez and isabella fontana), never before seen designs, seen-before designs (latiken had a fucking sprite!), concept art, gen 3 had some darker looking discarded dev art. WHAT IS THIS IT RULES

here are compiled beta sprites from gens 3, 4, 5

high-key obsessed with this XY museum concept art that shows a guy just casually holding a Mew

even better is the in-game blurb that goes with the painting, which is both great worldbuilding and also very funny:

A Man and Mew: They say a man of power at the time forced the artist to add the Mythical Pokémon Mew to spread the word of how great he was.

Pokemon fans be like "I wish we had darker games" then can't handle basic folktale tropes and concepts

I know he's a raccoon but this beta sprite really has me thinking about a really dumb Pomeranian

THEY ROBBED US

[theudonlord]

Evolotto looked real familiar…

[snailfen]

typhlosion fans reading the leaked pkmn mythos doc, realizing that their fave is going to become an unfortunate punchline in the pokemon community that absolutely no one will let go of for the rest of eternity because no one can seperate unused mythos from canon or understand mythos as mythos

[stringbeanbones]

fuck this post look at this swag monkly instead
