(3/4) Thanks to this exhibition, we know what this Lost Pokemon looked like... but unfortunately, Game Freak never revealed its elemental type or its name. Thus, it's usually referred to as "Latiken" -- a mash-up of Latias & Blaziken.
Later artwork replaced Latiken with Latios.

an example of them turning one very busy design into two pretty tight ones :)
idk how I feel about Game Freak but they’re an interesting case to watch when it comes to monster designs
