If you're talking about Hoothoot's eye colour becoming red, I'm pretty sure the sprite is incorrect because of the limited colour palette. The official art has it with red eyes.

>>32390659
They haven't done minor gender differences since gen 4, where it was introduced. The only new Pokemon with gender differences are notable; Unfezant, Frillish, Jellicent, Meowstic, and Pyroar. My guess is that they didn't feel like making new sprites/models for such minor gender differences, but didn't want to give up entirely on the idea

Chikorita used to be yellowish originally. This only happened in Gold/Silver with its sprites and early promo art but honestly, I think it looks so much better. Plus it makes sense since Bayleef is yellow. I always thought it was weird how Chikorita starts as green, becomes yellow, and then becomes green again. Same with the Charmander line and orange/red.

They droped gender dimorphism, they just happened to make two Pokémon in the last TWO generations have that. Those two were some of the best examples of how it should be done, but it just goes to push the fact that GF doesn't care.

>>
>>32390704
I hate how in most cases, it's just "female has a slightly smaller thing than male has". As a kid, I would never raise say, a female Shiftry because its fans are smaller, or a female Luxray because its mane is smaller. It's something that still kinda bugs me even to this day.

The gen 5 and beyond gender differences are a lot better because there's a substantial enough difference that both designs are valid in their own way. I just wish there were more of them, and I'm sad that gen 7 had none.
>>
>>32395225
It's pretty in-line with real life sexual dimorphism.
>>
>>32395229
I know, it makes sense compared to real animals, but it tends to make me feel like one gender of a Pokemon is inherently superior to the other, even though that obviously isn't true for any of them except for Nidoran and Meowstic. Like, who would want a Zubat with smaller fangs, or a Donphan with smaller tusks? And personally, female Sneasel looks vastly inferior to male Sneasel.

It's a really dumb thing to get hung up on, but it's just one of those little autistic quirks, I guess.
>>
>>32390711
Probably due to Mantyke's existence. Since it evolves with a Remoraid in the party, it would be weird if the Remoraid stopped existing to become a part of Mantine, or if the Remoraid suddenly duplicated.

Which Pokemon has the worst model in gen 6-7? Lugia maybe?
>>
>>32395255
I feel the same way. Making female Pokemon look less appealing than males isn't representative of sexual dimorphism, it's just silly. There are a plethora of species where the difference in appearance between genders is null. In a lot of birds and reptiles, for instance, you can't tell their sex at all without a blood test. Making Shiftry's fans smaller or Houndoom's horns smaller is really dumb, because it makes the male look like the 'default' design, and the female a lesser version of that. Dimorphism like Unfesant and Pyroar have is great - realistic, and both forms look cool. I wish gf would retcon the minor gender differences, including female Pikachu and Raichu...Ugh.

Charmander had spikes on his back in gen 1 back sprite, and early chapters of Pokémon Special. Seems to have been dropped around the time of the anime.

Maybe it's just the angle, but Stantler's face and nose look so bloated now. Doesn't look too good.

>>32395255
>>32400512
I get what you two mean. I have a feeling that most of time they design the male version first, thus making it the default, then make incredibly minor changes afterward and say it's the female version. Whenever I would come across Pokemon with noticeable but not major design differences e.g. Scizor, I'd always catch a male one since they would just look better. I'm not saying all of the design differences are bad, it's just a lot if the time they're lazy and unnecessary.

3D models were a mistake

Quagsire is one of the worst contenders as well. Especially with how simple but good its actual design is.
>>
>>32401890
So it changes to a shiny when you transfer it over?
I actually heard of that before. Colosseum uses a different mechanic for shinies or something.
It could happen that if you transfer a Pokemon over to the maingames it can suddenly become not shiny or shiny. It's pretty weird.
>>
>>32402144
I fully agree but kids see sprites and they automatically think that the game is old.
I wouldn't be surprised of the games with 3D models sold better on average as well.

Nobody mentions the fact that Sneasel and Weavile look so short and fat in the models???

>>32390589
I actually agree with you. Who cares you don't use these fatties way of talking in here

>There are a plethora of species where the difference in appearance between genders is null. In a lot of birds and reptiles, for instance, you can't tell their sex at all without a blood test

And in over 90% of Pokemon species there isn't a single difference between male and female.

>Making Shiftry's fans smaller or Houndoom's horns smaller is really dumb, because it makes the male look like the 'default' design, and the female a lesser version of that.

Male animals are usually larger than females. And in animals were both sexes have horns, the male usually always has the biggest ones. One exception to this is insects, in which females are sometimes larger than the males, and this is already represented by female Scyther/Scizor having bigger abdomens.

Complaining about male being the default is a bit silly considering male animals are usually are the ones with most recognizable appearance, like lions, moose, elephant seals, baboons, peacocks (and most birds really).

>I wish gf would retcon the minor gender differences, including female Pikachu and Raichu.

Will literally never happen considering they make a killing selling female Pikachu merch because lots of girls like the heart-shaped tail. I agree that female Raichu's tail is a stupid change though.

As in incredibly stupid? Or just incredible how long this threads been?

But you realise the people who got aggy about the desu thing are probably the teenagers?

Yeah why did they use appropriate colors instead of those that change every other game that weren't even correct, like pre-V Salamence and Sceptile

Pidgeots head was amazing in this :( I had one called aaaaaaa because it was the first pokemon I caught and I was like idk 5 and couldn't work out the keyboard thing.
>>
>>32411878
Yes, why indeed would they use colors that literally only look good in artwork?

>that literally only look good in artwork?
They don't, it's that you've grew up attached to other colors playing the games. I always thought sprite Salamence colors were shit until BW actually corrected them. so i'm not biased.

Not to say that all of them are good. Exeggutor is shit as it even misses the artwork.

Doesnt translate well because outline was the same color
>>
>>32411641
Not much of a difference.

>>32411970
What? Why does that matter? It's the same idea as Gastly. The color wasn't changed because of the outline.
>>
>>32404221
In the sprite anyway - somehow it doesn't matter at all in 3D

Scyther is a clusterfuck of a design anyway, but I preferred it when it was more tucked-up, rather than longer limbed like the current one.
Old Scyther had legs that actually looked like they worked, as well.

Pidgeot with lank, think hair is always awful. Thats why I always felt its Mega was an improvement (it also made its shoulders and neck wider so it had a less pudgy belly)
>>

I think the golden parts are too much -- I'd desat them a bit, and maybe make a couple tail feathers the same color to match the sprite.
