ITT pokemon with basically no difference between their normal

I wish they would Retcon Gengar's shiny colors to the Mega's shiny colors

Sent :^)

Who's in charge of the shiny creation department? Mitsubishi-san needs to be fired. Fucking lime green and hot pink.

Pikachu and Garchomp off the top of my head.

No one was in charge of shinies until Gen 6. All the shiny colors were made with a generator except for Gen 6 when they decided to start putting effort into it.

>shiny snivy has a maple leaf thing going on
>suddenly it evolves and becomes blue
>serperior is a completely different color from both of them
What were they thinking?

proof or it didn't happen

>>28871990
wait, disregard this, for some reason I thought snivy's shiny was red

>>28871979
>>28871994
Also curious for source, if true (doubt). I'd like to have access to said generator.

I ran away from a Poliwag horde and didn't notice one was shiny until it was too late

The worst part is how the normal sprite changed starting in HGSS and ended up looking more like the shiny.

I wonder if there's enough of these to play "Shiny or normal?" with.

>>28872089
had to check. These eyes are blue. I think the colored spots on its hands are also slightly different.

Are you all colorblind?

>>28871959
Not that you can catch Garchomp anywhere but how the hell is anyone even supposed to tell that it's shiny if they encounter these? It's impossible.

>>28871994
>>28872006
That's what I've heard from /vp/ anyways,but I think if you look at the Gen 6 shinies it's pretty clear

>>28872267
Personally, I can see the difference in colors, and sometimes I actually kind of like the differences.

The issue I think is that the colors are so similar, that it seems like the alternate color is just the same mon in different lighting. I would think shinies should be a little more "extravagant" After all, with the real world version of this (albino/melismic animals) the color difference is usually immediately clear. (which, as an aside, is especially bad for prey that uses its natural color as camouflage.)

You'd expect the mascot of Pokemon to have a more unique shiny

>>28872365
>implying they'd risk the recognizability

>>28872006
It's not a generator, shinies used to just be a pallet swap to the next pallet, that's all.

>it's pretty clear

to who? there's literally no proof that there was a generator. if it was random what's to stop the borders on sprites from being pure white or a lighter color?

it's more likely some artist chose the colors when he was making the sprites anon.

>>28872306
Have you played any of the games? Shinies have a special animation upon entering battle.

>>28872391
Again that's just what I've heard thought apparently >>28872390 is smarter than me

It's a shame that Gibble has a cool shiny, but it gets progressively less noticable as it evolves

>>28872390
Ooh, that's interesting. If this is true, that would explain things like all blue water pokemon turning pink. I still call BS or at least say that it's probably not true for all mons. Mainly because Charizard's shiny seems to me like it was hand-picked to be edgy.

>>28872427
r'ing Gible's evolutions with this color scheme.

>>28872437
Some might have been hand picked but most are just pallet swaps

>>28872437
I think Charizard might have been hand picked, but only in gen 3 and after, considering it's Gen 2 shiny was purple and green instead of black and red.

>>28872479
It'd be nice if they'd go back and tweak some of these others then. Even if they don't want to completely alter the scheme, they could fix up some of the greens to be less puke colored, or make the more samey ones a bit more distinct.

>>28872284
Eh, the difference is fairly noticeable on that one.

>>28872517
>tfw I caught a shiny Seel in HGSS but didn't even realize until later

>>28872479
There certainly are some different shinies in Gen 2, but if they were all done with palette swaps, it seems like too much of a coincidence that Gen III was done with palette swaps as well since many shinies are either similar or pretty much exactly the same (mainly red gyarados, for example). Or did they create an entire new generator and make it to be similar for Gen III?

Shiny or normal colors?

>>28872532
Yeah, I do feel like that one was kinda reaching.

>>28872532
It's noticeable in a side by side pic, but in game I would notice the difference.

>>28872427
I have a shiny gible and I'm never evolving him because of Garchomp's shit shiny.

>>28872552
Shiny, normal looks 1000% better

>they didn't make the remoraid shiny too
Masuda should fire the whole staff

>>28871979
>>28871994
It might not be a "generator", but it's proven that all shiny sprites are just the normal sprites with the next palette over in the game's data until Gen 6, when palettes stopped being a factor.

>>28872546
Did you not see the animation? fucking liar ass bitch

>>28873616
There is not one person who has their eyes on the game for every second they're playing. Especially with Pokemon. It's a very very slow game, especially when you get into an encounter and the Pokemon is sliding into sight.

>>28873616
I was playing it during a car ride just trying to work on the dex. I still have the Seel (Dewgong now) if you're so doubtful

Why is Gamefreak so shit with shines?
We could have gotten a nice autumn Leafon or something, but instead we get this piece of shit.

>>28874314
Hey man, i like "slightly more brownish" Leafeon, and it's eyes are lighter in the games. I just never saw it worth the effort to get one.
