Why has GF resisted mutli palette mons? Why are garbage shinies the farthest they are willing to go?To me, the easiest thing to breathe new life into this game would be to add at least 3 additional color palettes to each mon in a new game, and replace shiny nonsense with a unique design: something like a special Venusaur with a broken fang and gashed eye, or a haunter with a witch hat, or a haunt that's striped with crazy eyes, or a Lucario in a kung-fu outfit.If they're willing to do shit like alolan and mega mon, I don't see why they couldn't do something as simple as the above to make things more interesting. Hell they should have done it 4 or 5 generations ago.
>>58292398They should just let you dress up your pokemon and decorate them with accesories but they'll never do it because it's too much work.
they're in too deep. they saw how popular unofficial and underground shiny hunting became, so they turned it into a commodity. something every player shpukd do. this is one aspect not even game freak is stupid enough to fuck with
>>58292398because effortEssentials has a framework for a second shiny sprite but literally no-one uses it there either
>>58292561>>58292595>>58292398Its not any of this, it just dilutes the brand further than necessary.If you have 5 color variants you split the pokemon's fanbase by 5, which makes them less likely to buy the pokemon merch unless you have aversion of their favorite variant, which is more investment than its worth, as there are very few people who would like pokemon and buy stuff IF their color was different.
>>58292398The "New Shinies" look garbage - the colors are too jarring.>>58292683This, pure and simple. Much easier to monetize and promote two distinct colors rather than 4, 5, or more.
>>58292398This was done back in the N64. Gamefreak are just hacks, more news at 11
