Let it be known that subtle shinies are the only bad shinies. Also Gengar’s is pretty solid before gen 6 when all the colors got washed out.
>>58266605
Exactly. Green shinies are drastically overhated anyhow.

the desaturation that came with moving to 3D definetly made this true, but in the 2D games subtle shinies are some of my favorites.

The varied lighting conditions make subtle shinies a fucking menace.

WHOA IS THAT A- no it's just in the shade where they give every pokemon an extra slight blue tint because they're motherfuckers.

Glaceon is a perfectly okay shiny, while Ceruledge's shiny is dogshit.

i remember right after PLA released but before i played it because i dropped my switch in the bath and fried it like a retard right after it came out someone i knew said they got a shiny ursaluna and i swear to god in the picture he posted it was cobalt blue. looking back it had to have been a screenshot of it using a strong or agile attack with the screen all greyed out or something, but regardless my disappointment when i evolved my own shiny ursaring and it turned orange was incalculable when i had thought it was gonna be a cool blue for months. it's so underwhelming....

>>58267260
Shinies that can be mistaken for lighting differences are always bad, particularly in SV where it can be very easy to miss (Looking at you fucking rhydon)

That being said, Regice's shiny initially just looked on-model to its official art. The thing was off-model until gen 5 in terms of coloring.

Not sure how to feel about shinies that got fixed by their megas, like Garchomp and Gengar. Now that megas are back it's less egregious but it still feels wrong.

As long as it's a sprite on an actual GBA or DS it will look spectacular. That can't be reproduced in 3D or on a computer screen.

Most of the Pokemon I love have really good shinies, but I really don't like Aggron's shiny, I love the metallic color scheme on normal Aggron with those gorgeous blue eyes, the green/dark teal tint on the shiny is just not good, the red eyes are cool, but they don't contrast at all with the colors of the shiny, which just saddens me a ton.
I wished the metallic colors were darker, nearly black, so if you squinted at it hard enough you could make a joke about Blue-Eyes White Aggron and Red-Eyes Black Aggron.
>>
>>58267347
I actually really like this one. I hunted one in an outbreak, honestly pretty easy to spot when it's surrounded by non-shiny ones.

>>58267841
red literally does contrast with teal, they're complementary colors

Behold, the biggest shiny nerf between gens 2 and 3. Gen 2 Butterfree is probably my favorite shiny ever, so it’s a low blow personally.
>>58268838
Also the biggest nerf mid generation, middle is RS, bottom is FRLG. At least Emerald reverted it back to what it was before, and added a little more pink on the backsprite for good measure (before gen 4 nerfed it yet again.)

Weren't most of the early shinies just randomly generated by an algorithm? Outside of the hand-picked ones like Gyarados and Charizard.

For gengar, it's less that the shiny sucks and more that 3D sucks. It looked better when gengar was a brighter shade of purple, but then they made the base guy darker, and then the 3D models got muted color palettes and the difference got less and less noticable.

I like shinies that compose of base body and "accessories" and only one of them is changed, like tinkaton getting a different hammer or regigigas getting it's golden parts turned blue. That's a nice way of doing shinies. This sucks because you get the base body being like 10% of the design and still thinking that changing the gray into slightly-less gray is a good idea without doing anything fucking else.
>>
>>58269073
but the picture the npc is showing is of the overworld? the last time the overworld was sprite-based was gen 3. so your image should say "why doesn't gen 3 look like that".

Galarian Meowth and Gardevoir are probably two of my favorite shinies, I just love the gentle blue on shiny Garde and the beautiful gold on G.Meowth, I really hate that shiny Perrserker loses a good chunk of the golden fur when it evolves, I wanted a golden viking cat.
