Lord_Brand Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I just had an idea: What if Pokemon had "version shinies" or "version variants", one for each version? For example, Pokemon in Gold would have a gold variant, Pokemon in Silver would have a silver variant, and so forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanty Pete's 1st Mate Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 That could be pretty cool. Were you thinking that the "version shinies" would replace the traditional shinies, or simply supplement them? Also, how about trading: if I trade a"Gold Shiny" to Pokemon Silver, does it stay a "Gold Shiny", or become a "Silver Shiny"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Brand Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 The idea is that they would be supplemental. Version Shinies would retain their home version appearance, so yes, a Gold Pikachu would stay Gold if traded to Silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they could be more common than actual shinies? That way, they'd be more readily moved around via GTS and Wonder Trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Brand Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. A 1:256 ratio, perhaps? Still fairly rare but nowhere near as much as regular shinies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
