Idk how they Made gen 9s shinies awful but Dipplin is incredible. Its a caramel Apple like cmon. And EVEN BETTER. Its signature move animation CHANGES if its shiny. It's perfect.
@@DespianGrimmPaldeanot an excuse but they either ran out of devolpment time or doesn't think whines are special anymore given how easy the shinies gave become Or maybe they want to make it harder to spot in wild But I miss my old shinies
@@sinnohperson8813 *sees point three* yeah, nothing said make it harder to spot than not giving them a shiny chime sound effect in the overworld for some of the lazy shinies 💀
To be fair, Garchomp is a rare case of a bad shiny getting a bit better in 3D (it still is bad but not as bad as in gen 4), but Gengar definitely got fucked over in 3D
@@jfb173jb It makes sense, but considering there are also Pokemon like Zacian and Zamazenta whose armoured form is essentially about them carrying a sword and a shield, it still feels inexcusable to me. If the idea is that these weapons kind of "merge" with the Pokemon such that its appearance also changes, the same could apply for Charcadet's armours.
Personally if I could share my ideas for new Shinies for the Starters, I would: -Have the Sprigatito line turn lavender with blue accents, as a reference to catnip flowers. With Meowscarada having some sort of red leaf color scheme. -Have the Fuecoco line turn yellow, like yellow peppers and brass instruments, with red flames. -And the Quaxly line would turn green with yellow accents like on ducks, peacocks, and Brazilian dancers.
I think the best thing for Skeledirge would to make the red turn to a pitch black (and possible addition of blue flames). This is not simply me wanting it to go the Mega Charizard X route, I'm talking as pitch black as possible and not simply because it would look cool, but also in reference to typical skeleton costumes. Skeleton costumes more often than not will have the rest of a person's body shrouded in black (and if you add in blue flames, it would almost be reminiscent of Sans, another project of Toby Fox).
With human beings designing shiny Pokemon, there is no excuse for this little thought being put into them. I really like your fixes, especially the ones for the Tandemaus, Charcadet, Gimmighoul lines, Scovillain, and Paldean Tauros.
Game Freak: “We need to make shines for the new region, so make them look good,ok?” Also Game Freak: *just changes Ceruledge’s eye color, “Ok that’s good enough I guess”
@@kamenrideruniter4503 At least the paradox shinies have more than 10 pixels of difference between them and the regular paradoxes. Armarouge and Ceruledge just got hoed out of shinies.
@@squiddog8933 I mean at least hit randomize and whatever comes out of that decision ends up being his shiny. If you have slight sight impairment you can't see it's a shiny
Try making an entire open world game, animate over 400 Pokémon, over 50 characters, add text, story, animate all moves, graphics, the list goes on, then try to fit in creating super complex shiny Pokémon along with all that stuff within under a year then y’all can complain still!
I am fine with many shinies that other people find ugly. My only gripe is the shines that barely change. That is just unforgivable post-gen 7. Someone actually sat down and decided to just grab either the saturation or brightness sliders, just barely move them and call it a day. I've actually been playing around with fixing shines by taking the original and moving both sliders, along with the hue slider just a little bit more than GameFreak decided to do and many of them end up being really good. Garchomp for example looks great when you just shift it's bluish purple color into being more blue or more purple.
Do my eyes deceive me, or do you actually like Garchomp’s infamously god awful shiny? If so, you are of extremely few (no it’s mega doesn’t count) Edit: oh you edited Garchomp’s a bit more. Ok nvm I’m stupid
Eh, I personally would have made Armarouge more of a medium blue with cyan accent to really drive the mega man reference home, you absolutely nailed Ceruledge though
2:00 AuraGuardian: “The Quaxly line was the easiest to come up with…..Pink!” 3:46 “Here, I simply added some pink-and viola!” *Gym Leader Opal liked this video*
If you look back at previous generations, there seems to be a lot in each generation. This is just the most new Pokémon we’ve had in a while and all future paradox Pokémon have the same concept so I think it just seems like there’s more. Personally I like a lot of them, even some of the ones that aren’t crazy different, but I agree some could have been way better.
I agree. This is probably the first generation of Pokémon that actually made me feel disappointed with most of the shiny forms. A few of them are actually decent, but most of them could have been better
Yes I was so disappointed when looking through this generation’s shinies. I remember having to squint so hard to try and figure out what the differences even were for some of them.
I think they put more effort into the Past Paradox pokemon shinies then anything in the game. I was greatly disappointed in the Future paradox shines, Armarouge and Ceruledge and the starters as well.
For Gimmighoul, I think the box should reference the Treasure Chests you would get in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. Like making the red part of the box blue and the yellow part silver. It was the first thing I thought of when thinking how to improve the shiny, and it would have been a cool little reference
The only reason for Gholdengo's shiny being terrible is because he's made of golden coins, even his ability is called "good as gold", so a change that i think would work is making him rusty. He would still be made of gold and maybe more noticeable.
Yeah I tried explaining that to someone and they were very adamant that its lore didnt matter because no other pokemon was like that. some people cant understand design concepts. I think rose gold or a tarnished gold could have worked
@@JCash493 or white gold since that is a thing so the shiny could just as easily be a silvery platinum colour and work well without contradicting anything with its lore
Okay, here’s MY ideas for the starter trio. Fuecoco turns green, both bc of crocodiles and green chili peppers. Quaxly turns red, bc red is a very flamboyant colour and thus is perfect for the Quaxly line. Sprigatito turns blue, bc I’d argue that blue is a more magic-like colour. So basically: Fuecoco -> Quaxly -> Sprigatito -> Fuecoco
The fact that Gimmighoul and Gholdengo's shinies were not only horrible, but they actually had the audacity to shiny lock them behind a special event Tera raid makes me seriously question what the Gamefreak devs are thinking. They're easily the worst shinies ever, any you can tell because dataminers thought that Gamefreak forgot to give them shiny forms at all.
this is real, as someone who has a shiny gimmighoul and gholdengo from that event, i love them but like,,, man it was barely worth it 😭 but i guess i have bragging rights so there's that 💀
8:23 I think a blue tastugiri shiny could be a nice nod to blue fin tuna. While the fish itself isn’t blue inside, a nice pale blue would look really nice
I couldn't believe it when I saw the 'shiny' and original Amarouge and Ceruledge together- as far as I could tell, there was no difference at all! What were they thinking?
one thing I see often in shiny fixes is takning the future paradoxes and changing the color of the liquid inside them, and every time i dont know how to feel because i've always had a gut feeling that liquid was plot relevant
Maybe keep the chrome so that they’re still noticeable, but also change the liquid, maybe to the dominant color of the shiny mons they’re based on. Iron Valiant’s pink fluid goes to blue, Iron Bundle’s blue goes to purple, Iron Jugulis’ violet goes to green (i wonder if the face LEDs would change too), etc…
I don't think they're liquids? I'm pretty sure they're lights... and it should definitely change in the shinies. It's pretty ridiculous that they don't change at all, it would've made the shinies so much better. I'm personally ok with the future paradox shinies but I do feel like their lights should've changed. They are robots after all so the shinies could just have different lights from the regular ones
Gen 9 has some of the worst shinies and it was great seeing you improve so many of them. Some suggestions I have though is not changing the armor on Armarouge and Ceruledge since that’s how they evolve in game as well as Miraidon since it already looks good imo and it and Koraidon have contrasting shinies.
I like that you made Baxcalibur black. Not only does it really look nice, but he's obviously based on Godzilla, and a common color for the Big G is charcoal black.
It’s hilarious to me that he thinks Houndstone’s shiny is terrible when it makes its head look like a tombstone in dirt surrounded by dead grass. Also I’m pretty sure they don’t put as much thought as you want into shinies because they’re not something most players focus on.
I agree that they probably dont care and they aren't super important but at least make the shiny noticable for hunters. I'm not even a shiny hunter and I think that just making it different is bare minimum.
It also kinda looks like a sheep dog I think. Like Shep from Animal Crossing. It's shiny kinda reminds me of him. I feel like Game Freak should know that there's a whole community dedicated to hunting shinies. It may seem like many people don't care about hunting shinies but there's quite a lot of RU-vidrs dedicated to doing that. I feel like the shiny hunting community is pretty big so there's no excuse for making these shinies so bad
@@pikasheep Dude, adults are 20% of Pokémon’s audience at best. Of that 20%, less than 5% are dedicated shiny hunters. Why would they focus on such a small part of their demographic?
@@primrosevale19951) saying you have to actively search out shinies to care about their appearance is a false equivalency, and 2) driving people to actively avoid a permanent feature is, _at best,_ an undesirable outcome.
The Ceruledge Shiny you made is phenomenal, and I honestly couldn't believe that they didn't do that. It was such an obvious thing to reverse the colours of ceruledge and armarouge for the shinies. But the flipped Armarouge colours on Ceruledge is fantastic.
I like how you turned annihilape's shiny from a more vivid version of the original color palette into a fiery sun look to it which not Only makes him look like its pure rage took over his entire body but also makes it look like a fire fighting type, it's pretty dope honestly
10:30 Except since they went out of their way to NOT change any of the Future Paradox's lights I think that was an intentional design decision that should be taken into consideration for any viable rework and considering they operate differently turning on snd off when they sleep and having other different effects And I GREATLY disagree on Miraidon needing a shiny change considering it already looks cool and it being white parallels Koraidon's shiny being black so only changing his looses that relation if Koraidon isn't altered to match Goldehngo's lackluster shiny is probably just logic based, the coins you collected make up its body and they're all gold coins, it's named after gold, it's ability is "Good as Gold", so that color can't really change so it's shiny has to be represented somewhere else (and personally I'd have it be the chest being a significantly different color for both of them, Armarouge and Ceruledge could be the same way as they have to look like the armor they're wearing which is sn external item that wouldn't logically change Changing Charcadet's colors to Ceruledge was a genius idea
I love the green fuecoco line about 10000000000000x more than the grey version. Part of why I love that line in the first place is the bright colours. Grey for fuecoco's line is like... I literally can't think of a more disappointing colour to use. That would be like looking at the fabulous, flamboyant Quaxly and, rather than pink, making the shiny a snot green with touches of baby poop brown just because ducks are sometimes green and brown.
GameFreak was like: "This gen the shiny Pokémon can be seen in the wild without the sparkles. Let's make a lot of shinies that are nearly identical to their original colors!".
to be honest i really like the sprigatito line as it is, it looks more minty, than the saturated more lime green it is normally, and the purple looks really nice as a highlight for that, and idk ig i like that
With Gholdengo, a nice subtle change that could've been perfect for the shiny version would be to make it go from plain gold to a rose gold color. It'll still be gold, but with a pink tint to it.
Hot take: i don't mind Ceruledge/Amarouge's shinies because they evolve after getting the armor, so imo it'd made little to no sense for the armor to change colors when they're shiny
I actually like most of the shinies My thing with shinies is that as long as it suits the pokemon or the colours look well on the pokemon even though it's similar to the original (for example I really like Quaquaval's periwinkle/violet)
I agree with all these Pokémon having mistakes as shinies except for annihilape and every starter except quaquaval. Why didn’t they just make gholdengo silver? Why didn’t they change the lights on the violet paradoxes and ONLY turned the metal chrome? I’m kinda surprised kilowattrel line wasn’t in this. Only change is the black going to a maroon colour or something. Think they could’ve done better.
Agreed. I even shiny hunted my Annihilape because the blue fits it despite being subtle, like a dead body turning blue not long after death. It definitely doesn't deserve to be lumped into the same category of bad shinies as Maushold or Paldean Tauros, at least you can _tell_ it's shiny, wether it's one's taste or not.
Personally for a redone shiny Annihilape, I'd change just the body fur/mane to Sniny Primape's Green, and make the arms and legs the same color as normal Primape. A bit of a reference to Broly from Dragon Ball. Edit: For Iron Valiant I'd only change one thing on your version: Swap the white for the Black from Mega Gardevoir's shiny. Iron Valiant does pull from the megas of Gardevoir and Gallade, just like how Roaring Moon pulls from Mega Salamance. For Iron Leaves I'd give it a lighter pink than you did (since Virizion has a very bright pink shiny) and I would not give it a blue shiny, because Iron Crown (aka Paradox Cobalion in the Indigo Disk) is that exact shade of cobalt blue. As for Miraidon, I feel like its shiny would be fine if it was the only chrome shiny, but it'd never be able to compete with Koraidon turning into a Black Dragon. And while the rusty color you came up with works, it gives a Monster Hunter fan like me serious "Rusted Kushala Daora" vibes. My suggestion: give it the same Matte Black that Koraidon got. It'd be the only instance of Box art Legendaries having the same shiny colors... aside from the Weather Trio in their Primal/Mega forms.
Those green fuecoco line shinies go hard, the alternate red/turquoise colors for quaquaval go pretty hard as well I don't really like the pink it looks weird
This reminds me of a Memega video about koraidon and miraidon colors were swapped in the thumbnail video with koriadon having miraidon's color scheme and vice-versa. I was shocked on how much their color schemes reflect one another.
I love these improvements, but since I'm already here, I want to throw in my ten cents and share some neat ideas I came up with while watching this. Wouldn't it be interesting if the shiny forms for Gimmighoul and Gholdengo were based on jade coins, and had a bronze-green color instead of gold? A couple of other ideas were to simply give the Meowscarada line the classic autumn leaves treatment by making the lighter accents beige and the darker accents red or orange, or to swap the fire and eye colors between Armarogue and Ceruledge, giving the former blue flames and the latter orange flames, while keeping the armor the same color. I also must add, I *really* like your take on the shinies for tauros, the last one for Houndstone, Baxcalibur, and the Fuecoco line.
*Armarouge and Ceruledge:* I wonder how they will look like if the shiny version retained the Armor initial color, but the Pokémon's color were swapped. *Tandemaus and Maushold:* Imagine if only one of the mice had another color (brown, black...), and for the Family-of-4, as well for one of the offspring. But for the Family-of-3, the offspring would be a new color like gold or grey, midway between white-brown or white-black? *Greavard and Houndstone:* Their dirt colored shiny make me feel like they intended them to be Ground/Ghost to represent their trapping ability. They have Sand Rush, and maybe they intended them to have the Arena Trap ability as they clearly dig and waiting for you to get trapped. *Future Paradox:* I wonder how they will look if all the "enlighted" part was Violet, just like the logo.
I can KINDA understand Armarouge and Ceruledge because the armor is not the pokemon.... IF THEY WENT BY THAT LOGIC. Komala amd the Tinkaton line both have shinies based on the objects they hold. But even so, they could have made the non-armor parts a bit better, like a blue and gold Armarouge or a crimson and purple Ceruledge
Charcadet and Armorouge's shinies are fine because they're a reference to Gundam character Char Aznable. In Gundam, Char's real identity is Casval Deikun, who is known for his distinctive blue eyes, and when using his Char Aznable alias, he wears a mask to obscure this. He's also known for using the color red in his mobile suits. Taken together, Charcadet and Armorouge reference Char's preferred color scheme and their shiny forms reference his true identity
Your take on shiny iron treads is awesome! I always thought a nice dark blue would look epic on him. Seeing you give him a type of blue as a side option was epic tho. However I am all for the neon aqua and neon green. Aqua and neon green are my 2 favorite colors and iron treads is my 2nd favorite pokemon. Seriously what a legend. Keep up the great work Aura!
I think with modern Pokemon designs now more than ever, there's a lot more intentionality I'll call it. Armarouge and Ceruledge for example. The armor they wear is straight up the thing you use to evolve them, it wouldn't make much sense for the armor to change colors just because the Pokemon getting suited up is a different color. Or Gimmighoul and Gholdengo. The entire way you get them is by collecting a bunch of gold coins. Why would it suddenly become silver upon evolution? I also think some of the original shinies in this video are decently clever in their own right. Fuecoco and family being pink is probably a reference to how real world crocs and gators have an affinity towards pink (really). The future Paradoxes are chrome because they haven't been varnished and/or painted yet, but that colorful energy within still keeps them going just fine (not to mention changing only the liquid would be pretty rough since that stuff gets deactivated whenever at rest). Houndstone's shiny more closely resembles a grave on a hill. Even the Shiny Tauros I believe actually use different textures than the base Tauros. I have also heard that apparently in the modern era, it's the designers who choose what the Shiny colors are, and "why fix what isn't broken?" as they say
I shiny hunted my ceruledge and literally forgot it’s a shiny until I watched this and thought about it. Sure there’re sparkles when it comes out but after playing for a few hours nonstop then not playing for a month, you’d forget. It’s such a letdown that it’s so similar
I think you turning Baxcalibur shiny black makes sense for it’s typing and where it was found to signify frost bite. You can kinda see it in how you did it with the line for starting with the paler color
I loved the red Quaquavel so much, if that was its shiny I would go through the horrors of egg hunting for it (ik Masuda method is fairly quick, it's just so freaking boring 💀)
My opinion on his redesigns: Sprigatito line looks bad. Fuecoco line looks pretty good. Quaxly looks horrible, too much pink. Armarouge looks nice, Ceruledge looks good. Pink Maushold is very nice. All Annihilape recolours look bad, I suggest you darken the green to make it fit better and not stand out too much. All Tauros look surprisingly good. Bramblin line looks bad. Scovillain looks nice. Houndstone looks fine. Curly giri looks nice, stretchy looks kinda bad. Frigibax line looks kinda ugly, not my thing. Iron Treads looks great. Iron Bundle looks fine. Iron Hands is pretty cool. Iron Jugulis looks bad. Iron Moth looks really nice. Iron Valiant looks meh, the pink green one is ugly. Iron Leaves looks okay. Miraidon looks awful. Gholdengo looks great with silver, it just has to look like actual silver.
I feel like the Fuecoco line looks WAY better in green than gray, I don't know what you mean by "didn't think it would be a color that many people would like that much". Green shinies aren't inherently bad, they just have to be the right shade to make sense with the design. The boringness of the gray in the other colors just contrasts with the exciting design. Plus, not only does the green reference crocodile colors, but it also references green peppers if you look at Fuecoco as a little chili pepper crocodile.
Ceruledge the way you made him definitely made it look like Zero and the purple on Armarouge made it look alot closer to Megaman. How they dropped the ball so hard on those two ill never know. And i loved the purple Shiny Charcadet
Nothing anyone can ever say will ever convince me that Armarouge and Ceruledge weren't designed based on X and Zero. To see their shiny being so disappointingly stupid hurts my Nostalgia in the feels.
i disagree with the future paradox shiny changes. they're robots. how are robots supposed to vary in colour? was there a malfunction in the company that made them that miraculously changed the whole paint colour? is their code specifically written to change the colour of the lights from yellow to red if you roll a dice and it lands on 4096? the only shiny that makes sense is chrome, as if the paint has worn off.
11 месяцев назад
I would have loved for the Future paradox Pokémon to keep the chrome look but their colored part to go full RGB light and constantly shift colors.
The armors do make sense when you remember that technically the Charcadets change is just like them wearing the armor. Rather than it being part of their body. And Goldengo's shiny wouldn't make sense if he was silver. Then he wouldn't be "Golden"go. He'd be Silverslider. Also you really seem to like pink.
On another note, I can’t believe you missed putting a black-ish, dark green border around the white bits of the rice bit of Tatsugiri. Like when seaweed is wrapped around the edge tk make a sushi roll.
