Lost Pokemon of the Day: the Rinrin family

First revealed when Gold & Silver's 1997 demo leaked in 2018, Rinrin & Berurun were a bell-themed family of Dark type felines... but they didn't make the final cut.

(Photo descriptions & more info continued in thread below) (1/4)
(2/4) Rinrin was female-only and evolved into Berurun at level 28. "Rinrin" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a ringing bell, while "Berurun" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for cheerful humming.

An onomatopoeia is a word that represents a sound -- like "BOOM" for an bomb exploding.
(3/4) This two-stage family of adorable Dark-type cats definitely would've been fan-favorites... but unfortunately, they didn't make Gen 2's final cut.

However, it appears many of their characteristics were later recycled for future felines like the Skitty and Purrloin families.
