Why did they do it?

Gen 3’s palette is kinda desaturated as a whole

kek

Look how they massacred my boy

>>57998484 (OP)
Gens 2-4 made shinies by just selecting the next color pallet in the list. Differences in the pallets from gen to gen were then reflected in the shinies,

Only trannies and jeets like that slop.

An attempt to course correct to being at least mildly closer to the coloration depicted in merchandise and the anime, because of this little thing called "brand consistency" they were trying to get a grip on now that they had better hardware compared to the GBC only allotting them three colors per mon, technically two since one of them was ALWAYS going to be black for the sake of an outline that popped against the battle screen.
Some palettes in the jump to GBA didn't quite work out as intended, like the Geodude line, because they also had to account for the GBA lacking a backlight (which like many other GBA games made them prioritize pop-out coloration, even if it didn't look quite right to the actual design,) and ultimately they were lazy twats who didn't bother fixing the palettes on the jump to DS which DID have a backlight.

this + Gengar is proof that gen 3 should be considered nu-gen

>>57998685
Feraligatr got the blue coloring in Crystal

>>57998655
and then we have mons switching from one shiny palette to a completely unrelated one for seemingly no reason
such as siltshrew becoming green in gen 3 onwards

>>57998775
strangely, his evolution's shiny is green for gen 2 only
after which shiny sandslash's skin becomes a paler shade of yellow, while the scales become light red instead of orangeish-red

>>57998775
strangely, his evolution's shiny is green for gen 2 only (which you think would be more fitting for afterwards when sandshrew's shiny is green)
after which shiny sandslash's skin becomes a paler shade of yellow, while his scales become light red instead of orangeish-red

Aggron is cooler than both of those mons

Gen 3 is lazy as fuck and when GameFreak’s greed kicked into overdrive.

>>57998500

Many such cases
>>57998509
>Gets fatter
>is a worse design
Many such cases

>>57998964
Why else do you think there's so much bara porn of Aggron?

It looks different on the screens of their native hardware, zoomie.

Stadium 2 purple was the best shiny. Green is fine too.
