Various beta images of Pokèmon Snap show a bar in the bottom right corner where you can select Pokè Flute, Apple, and some bomb thing. Also unseen in the same images are shots of a desert area not used in the final game. There’s also some screens from the forest and swamp, showing some pretty big changes. Ekans, the snake Pokèmon was also in the beta version, but not in the final. Why Ekans was cut is unknown. If you can notice more differences in the beta screens below, please let us know!
Also, you could be interested in the “Jack and the Beanstalk” project , an unreleased Nintendo 64 game that evolved into Pokemon Snap!

it looks like the ekans was removed by its laking of making it move while you didnt do anything (like a snake?) also it looks like maby you had a limit of 6 pictures

This doesn’t look like any of the final stages. To me, it looks more like a huge connected prototype safari level.
And does that Ekans have a rattle?
