Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

I mean in that regard it's a new take on a legendary fusion lol. I actually kind of like it, it's silly.

I'm more interesting in the mons movesets tho
 
I like shinies that are pretty much references to other pokemon. Like the Nidoran line's shinies being references to each other.
Well... all but Nidoqueen. I got a shiny female nidoran back in X&Y from a hoard battle and I was so fucking excited! Oh the disappointment I felt when I discovered it turned shit green. I detest the shinies that look exactly the same as the original ones the most (like, wtf is even the point if they look exactly the same, I'm looking at you garchomp, I busted my ass getting your egg in black tower) but at least they don't sear my eyes like the green ones do.
 
I thought the little ugly onion deer was gonna turn into a big bear king with its onion turning into a plant crown. Instead it stays just as ugly and small but now awkwardly rides around on two Brony rejects.
Goddamnit, if they were going for a knight on horse thing, why didn't they make it a fairy/fighting knight in shining armor? Now THAT would've been badass.

Does anyone now how they handle their shinies? It feels like the shiny pokemon's coloration is done by a program with the cool looking one's just being happy accidents.

Turns out, that's actually kind of true.

According to this, back when shinies were first introduced in GSC, there technical and memories issues that prevented shinies from having a more diverse color palette. Pokemon were only colored with one, or two colors on top of an already black and white sprite. A shiny pokemon wasn't designed to look cool, or appealing, but rather its coloring was decided upon with what color, or colors could be easily swapped into the 'mon's already existing code.

The technical and memory issues stopped being a problem in Gen 3, but Gamefreak being Gamefreak decided to keep the stupid lazy way of designing shinies. This continued all the way up until Gen fucking 6, when The Pokemon Company (not Gamefreak) actually had a say in how shinies would look. This is why the shinies for some Megas like Mega Gengar look so much better than their shiny base forms. The Pokemon Company decided that, not Gamefreak.

Gamefreak themselves would not actually start designing shinies until Gen 7 when they finally decided to start designing shinies by hand, and not just by swapping in whatever color worked with their broken-ass spaghetti code. This is why modern shinies look so much more appealing than most old ones.

As for why some old shinies look particularly good, most of the 'mons in question just got lucky, but it is speculated that at least a few like Gyarados, and Charizard were hand-designed to look cool, and not completely ugly and uninspired like most shinies do, unfortunately.
 
There's something going around about a SWSH beta that was leaked but I'm hearing a lot of back and forth over whether it's legit or just a mod from 4Chan.

But if it is real, ho boy...

tbf tho, considering Galar is just a long hallway with a moderately sized room in the centre, its pretty unlikely players will get lost enough to need a map
Yet they still found it necessary to have NPCs either guide or block you off you every five steps. The sequence of entering the first stadium in particular, my god.

"Here go register in the stadium!"

Register.

"Now go to the inn next door!"

Exit the stadium.

"Trainer the inn is over here!"

Literally turn to the left.

"Here's the inn trainer, right this way!"

>involves a certain Pokémon riding on the back of horse Pokémon

That's what constitutes as a fusion nowadays? :story:

To be fair, people were just calling it that because, in terms of coding structure, the forms are made the same way they are for Kyurem and Necrozma, since at first dataminers found the item used to do it well before we knew the nature of the new forms, so said dataminers had been calling them fusions without knowing that they aren't really that, and thus many fans were expecting them to be just like past Pokemon that used similar key items.
