I have a friend in my local community that managed to get a Shiny Gastly from a research task – Foolishly though, he evolved it to Haunter and used it as his Buddy. I’ve always said that “if you can’t tell that its a shiny, why hoard loads of them?” or even “why have it at all?. The Good, The Bad and The UglyĮven before I understood how some sprites were formed, I always knew that there was a particular reason why some sprites weren’t a bit more impressive. This shows that The Generation 1 Pokemon Gengar has a nearly unnoticeable shiny form, but when you look at the shiny Mega-version (introduced in Gen 6), you can see that it is entirely different and much, much better in most people’s opinions.
The easiest way to visualize what I mean is to see the below chart.
#POKEMON SUN AND MOON PALETTE SWAP SERIES#
Those of you who have played the main series Pokemon games or have an interest in shiny hunting will know that some of the sprites in the upcoming Gen 5 look incredible but those in Gen 6 and 7 look increasingly better. Too many times have I heard and seen people complain about the “dumbness” of Niantic for not making a certain shiny a specific color or “why didn’t they just change the color.” Too many players are ignorant about the reasons as to why shinies are the colors that they are and need to know that it’s not something that can be changed. It wasn’t until they had control over 3D sprites of each Pokemon did they become able to choose specific colors for their Shinies. Well, put simply, it means that Neither Niantic or The Pokemon Company had proper control over the colors that were picked for the shiny sprites until Generation 6 of Pokemon. In Sun and Moon, this changed and Gamefreak started deliberately designing shiny Pokémon, which resulted in shiny Pokémon that look and feel completely different than shinies in earlier games. When the games entered the 3D era, Gamefreak had complete freedom to create shiny Pokémon, but they decided to stick to the same principle as before: shiny forms change all of the colors of a Pokémon, rather than just distinct featured colors. Later games removed all the color restrictions Gold and Silver had and Pokémon could have dozens of colors, but Gamefreak stuck with the “change the color palette” method for five generations.
