I do think there's no problem with the principle of changing shiny sprites, if only because half of the actual ones are barely even different colors. It's not even a gen 1 thing (though that does have prime examples like how I'm pretty sure Persian and Dewgong are completely unchanged), I remember getting a shiny Beartic and I don't think that one's any different.

And I mean if you're doing that, why not have fun and make Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles, I do genuinely like that one.

And lot of the shinies are an awful puke-green color, I get some of it was GSC palette limitations, but come on.

To make deciding easier for those who aren't as familiar with Pokemon, here's a link to all the potential starters here:

Includes both normal and shiny varieties of each pokemon. If the thread agrees on a shiny version over the normal version of the voted Pokemon, I'll see if I can't hack the shiny version in.

These shinies are insane. Is the Tepig line supposed to be bacon?

This game is going to be quite a ride.

I really like the white-haired gender-neutral avatar but Blonde Girl named Sunshine amuses me.

And this is probably a throwaway, but to go with sunshine, a Shiny Oshawott named Rainbows.

It's worth noting that except for Blaziken, the mega forms of the starters have different abilities than the normal ability and hidden ability, which is good because, for example, Unburden is incompatible with mega stones:

Mega Venusaur has Thick Fat
Mega Charizard Y has Drought
Mega Charizard X has Tough Claws
Mega Blastoise has Mega Launcher
Mega Sceptile has Lightningrod
Mega Blaziken couldn't think of anything more broken than Speed Boost
Mega Swampert has Swift Swim

Gothy girl, named Enoby

Her starter is Godspeed You! (so probably GodspeedYou! or Godspeed You, since it's 13 characters with the space and exclamation mark), the Shiny Empoleon

I'd have loved either Contrary Serperior or Speed Boost Blaziken, but I can't resist the cheap pop.

I've looked at this game's shinies. Since they redid all of them there's naturally some that do great and some that blow.

the Tepig's look bad and Squirtle's too jokey, but other than the over-reliance of black, the shinies actually do look not bad.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the new shiny sprites for the starters are (mostly) pretty rad and an improvement over the real ones.

They actually made Charizard less stereotypically grimdark by replacing the red with shades of blue. Clearly an error on their part.

Absolutely this. So glad this game is getting shown, I actually played it through a couple months ago and drat does it try hard to be ~edgy~ with the result being more tumblr meets ff.net, the game.

I have a feeling that the rainbow on the Oshawott line is because these people still hate Oshawott for some reason and are making a tasteless joke about it being gay.

You think a game that lets you be gender neutral that features a long scene in a later episode where one high ranking character talks all about pronouns in a 100% serious manner is going to use "LOLGAY" as an insult?

Considering the complete lack of tonal consistency I've seen so far? I would not be surprised.

Edit That being said, I expect there's a different reason for it.

I'm neutral to the trainer name/sprite, but I want you to carry around whichever weird-rear end shiny pops up. If you're hacking a shiny, might as well make it one of the starters with insanely broken Hidden Abilities.

Well, I mean, I didn't know about that scene because I've never seen this game before, I was just judging by the attitudes present in the first update.
