Most Messed up Shiny Sprite.

[TheCableGuy]

So, I was looking at the Shiny Sprites of various Pokemon and I got to thinking... Some Sprites are just so....."Wrong."

I mean, Roserade for example, actually becomes dull and Colorless as a Shiny.

Dragonite's pre-evolutions are Bright pink but becomes Green with Pink wings..? I mean, what's up with that?

And then there are some Pokemon who's Sprites are almost no different between them and their Shiny Sprites,
with only a infinitesimal change in their hues.

I just think, the powers-that-be could of tried a little harder on these.

 

[Groudon]

Xatu, Kadabra, Garchomp, Dewgong, Blissey, and Hippowdon look nearly the same shiny and normal.

 

[Proxima Centauri B]

Id say Garchomp, you cant tell it's shiny except the sparkles because it's color is that similar to a normal Garchomp. Other that that I'd say Krookodile. It looks off without it's "shades" which it lacks in it's shiny form.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Dragonite and Krookodile's shiny sprites are quite bad.

 

[Hedface]

Dragonite's pre-evolutions are Bright pink but becomes Green with Pink wings..? I mean, what's up with that?

I think they were referencing Puff the Magic Dragon with that. Not entirely sure...

I hate Sawsbuck's shiny sprite. I accidentally released a shiny Deerling when breeding, belatedly realizing my mistake. Why make a shiny nearly identical to the normal kind? Especially on a 'Mon that is not (imo) as great as it should be.

Yeah, I've Noticed that. Was Planning on Naming an Jolly or Gentle Dragonite I might get "Puff"

I think it's a shame that the Sandile line loses their glasses motif when they become shiny.

 

[Silverwynde]

Finneon and Lumineon. They're almost khaki colored which is kinda dull. Then there's Bidoof, that's maybe a shade or two lighter than its normal color. Yeah, not worth the trouble with those guys.

 

[Bouffalant Herdier]

I'd say Emboar. Light-blue doesn't go well with a Fire-type at all and turns it into a disgusting mish-mash.

 

[Winterdaze]

Heracross' shiny form is pretty bad, that bright fuchsia is simply hideous.

Weavile's is also terrible, the combination of pale pink skin and yellow feathers makes it look like a plucked chicken.

 

[Divienne]

*Shiver* I agree with the Emboar complaint. Actually, I'd usually like blue fire Pokemon, but I thought that the orange hues were slightly nauseating in comparison to the rest of the sprite.

 

[Adil]

That would be Krokorok's shiny sprite.

 

[JustAnotherLeafeon]

Any shinies that vary slightly from the original tend to irk me. Simisear is one I know as a fact, but I'm sure there's a list.

Also Krookodile because of the lack of glasses and the fact that it makes the eyes look like tiny dots.

 

[TheCableGuy]

Miltank is another one. Pale, blueish/white makes her Look sick and pallid.

 

[Almonds]

That would be Krokorok's shiny sprite.

...he really needs those shades ;_;

 

[Enzap]

I agree with the Sandile family (especially Krokorok) and Garchomp. I also want to add half of the yellow shinies that they're so fond of. It doesn't look good on most Pokemon and it's way overused.

I saw someone complaining about Dragonite. I kind of disagree with that. I think the dark green is a very cool "dragony" color and makes him look a little less goofy (although I do love Dragonite, goofy or not.)

I dislike shinies in general, cause they often have such unnatural and sick colors that destroys everything that has to do with color theory. Normal colored Pokemon have colors that goes well together and actually look natural.

One thing is that they often slap on a shiny Pokemon is a green color, and imo most of the time it looks horrendous because it's often a shade of olive or lime green that makes no sense at all. Sometimes they even combine a shade of green with a shade of pink, and that's a big OH GOD NO to me (Chansey somes to mind).

Some examples: Onix, Hitmonlee, Nidoqueen, Zubat line, Poliwrath, Doduo line, Grimer line, Tangela line, Tauros, Dragonite, Mamoswine, URSARING. Kabuto line, Spearow line...

Other shinies that are simply bad: Giratina, Black Kyurem (seriously, why?), Arceus, Stoutland, Zoroark, DRUDDIGON, Terrakion, Reshiram, Scrafty, Krokorok/Krookodile.
