Today we are going to talk about Inazuma Eleven beta character designs:
Byron Love
In the illustrations that Level 5 itself shared in Inazuma Eleven 3, we see that its design is very similar to that of the player. Rex George. We see that he combines both the design of Byron (his hair) and that of Rex George (his face). In addition, this character appears with the uniform of Zeus, which confirms this theory.
Bobby Shearer
This is the beta design by Bobby Shearer, which looks very different from the current one. This design is found in the illustrations of the game Inazuma Eleven 3 in a public way (that is, without accessing the game data).
Also the sprite corresponds to the current character Stu Hoofer, a character who appears for the first time in Inazuma Eleven 2. In addition, this character was originally going to be a NPC in said game (as shown in an image from the Inazuma Eleven 2 beta), so this player has undergone several changes in terms of his prominence and relevance.
Shawn Froste
Shawn is one of the main protagonists in the video game Inazuma Eleven 2, being the cover in one of the two editions. Well, recently a beta sprite has been discovered in the edition Level 5 Premium Platinum, a cartridge which contained demos of some Level 5 games, among which was a demo of Inazuma Eleven 2
However, this sprite was not in the game directly. That is, it was hidden in the game files so that when you played the game the sprites we know were displayed. Specifically in the files fac.pkb_273.pac and fac.pkb_274.pac, which can be opened with Tinke, a tool for extracting content from Nintendo DS games.
A was found Shawn's initial sprite with her appearance together with Aiden, in which she has more open eyes than in her final version, along with some differences in her hairstyle. Here you can see the original image:
Before finishing this post, I would like to thank Milozaki Brian for making this discovery. It's amazing that more than 10 years after the game was released, new things are still being discovered.

Dark Emperors
As you well know, Dark Emperors He is the last rival of Alius Academy that we face in the story of Inazuma Eleven 2 (not counting Chaos, Prominence and Diamond Dust).
All of its members are part of Raimon, who obtain power from the Alius Stone to become more powerful, except for two: Malcolm (Kirkwood Institute) and Feldt (Brain Institute). These two members were originally going to be replaced by Aurelia and Peabody, but for unknown reasons it was not so.
Below you will see an image found in the Inazuma Eleven 2 game itself where you can see the Dark Emperors beta team (with Aurelia and Peabody)
