    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).

    @elmsigreen 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +32

    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.

    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

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    *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.

    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.
