All shinies should have very dramatic differences in coloration.

I have a few patterns of color blindness that make it so some shinnies are so subtle I can't even spot the difference. Like, I have a shiny Griaffarig from X. I to this day cannot tell you the difference, and I only knew it was shiny because I the noise and animation. So this kind of thing would make alot of them so much more exciting to see.

Garchomp's shiny is clearly the best shiny ever (gen 6 and onward doesn't count :catbert: )

I did like that they made some of the worse shinies better when they changed forms. Gengar too has a crap regular shiny but becomes white when mega evolved or gigantamaxed. Unfortunately they'll never just change the base sprite because GF doesn't like inconsistencies like that

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I feel like the sprites they use for Pokemon Home at least makes an attempt to make shinies that look similar to the original forms stand out at least, but I don't have colorblindness so I'd notice something being differently tinted.

That being said they really should completely change certain shiny colors to be more noticeable continuity be damned.

Honestly very excited for whatever is revealed tomorrow. Not gonna get my hopes up too much. Region name, possibly legendaries, and maybe the ‘gimmick’ if there is one isn’t too much to expect? Either way looking forward to it.

Let's line it up

June 11th 2013 XY revealed 5 pokemon, sky battles, the language options, PSS, Horde Battles. This one was at E3, however as far back as May 23rd they had announced the next news would be at E3.
June 2nd 2016 SM reveals box legendaries, kukui and lillie, the rotom dex, that QR code feature you forgot about, then confirmed there'd be more at E3 (which ended up being 3 new early mons)
June 5th 2109 SS reveals 5 pokemon, Leon, Hop, Sonia and Magnolia, the box legendaries, rotom phone, showed off the Wild Area, and also Dynamax. E3 also showed some early pokemon and gym stuff.

So I think we're getting some fairly juicy info tomorrow, including a battle gimmick. Maybe not THE gimmick, tho.

I know you in particular called it "inefficient" but I would particularly enjoy battle-less catching of overworld 'mons to be possible, which is something Nintendo has been trying to integrate in Pokemon games since at least the Let's Go games came to the Switch. It obviously changes the challenge curve to be a bit more casual-friendly (the "PKMN=GO" crowd) than the standard "do you know what False Swipe does" expectations that come with most main-line pokemon entries.

The biggest problem I see with overworld catching is that the PL:A system requires a dodge and monsters to have attacks in the overworld, and I'm not absolutely not going to be expecting those to feature in Scar/Violet unless they say so.

The trailer reveals that they took a page from Palworld's book and shows Pikachu with a realistic gun

I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.
If they somehow nail a Donald Duck meets Don Quixote design then the duck will rocket to the best starter of all time. I just have no faith they'll do it, so weed cat for me

I'm very excited about the trailer. I'm sure it's going to be mostly nothing, but Pokemon is as such a big crossroads right now and I think even a short trailer will reveal which direction they're going.

or at least it'll lead to months of speculation and debate about it
