2nd Gen The curious development of Sneasel

The curious development of Sneasel

Sneasel is a living fossil that tells us a lot about how Generation II itself was developed, and how the very concept of what being a Pokémon meant evolved over time.

    Once upon a time, Game Freak decided to create a pokémon called Sneasel. But it took them eight different attempts until they came up with the current design we all know. Thanks to the leaks from Gold and Silver's development, we have a step-by-step guide of how Sneasel evolved over time, from a cute weasel that looked nothing like the current pokémon, to its modern incarnation. What makes these changes all the more amazing, though, is that they kept going on even after the games themselves had been released. Take a look at the history of the one monster they couldn't quite settle on.

    I really enjoyed reading this. Sneasel is pretty cool. Pun intended
    At first it looked like it wouldn't be out of place in am early day tom and jerry episode and then turned into something else. I love it
