why do the coolest pokemon also have the shittiest shinies like gengar and garchomp 😭😭😭
gengar shiny could have been his mega shiny and it would have been awesome
That is a FACT
they REALLY let us down this gen 😢
Fr they did some of new favorites dirty😭
Like why isn’t Lokix the same color as Nymble?
To be fair, Garchomp is a rare case of a bad shiny getting a bit better in 3D (it still is bad but not as bad as in gen 4), but Gengar definitely got fucked over in 3D
Idk how they Made gen 9s shinies awful but Dipplin is incredible. Its a caramel Apple like cmon. And EVEN BETTER. Its signature move animation CHANGES if its shiny. It's perfect.
For real, how lazy do you need to be to make another color variation of the same Pokemon SOOOOOO atrocious!?
@@DespianGrimmPaldeanot an excuse but they either ran out of devolpment time or doesn't think whines are special anymore given how easy the shinies gave become
Or maybe they want to make it harder to spot in wild
But I miss my old shinies
@@sinnohperson8813 *sees point three* yeah, nothing said make it harder to spot than not giving them a shiny chime sound effect in the overworld for some of the lazy shinies 💀
THE SIRUP ATTACK CHANGES COLOR IF ITS SHINY??? ok thats awesome
I wouldn’t say incredible but it’s ok. Cetitan is the best gen 9 shiny
I remember seeing Ceruledge’s design and was so excited for his shiny. I think I have never been so disappointed in a shiny...
Ditto but for Armarouge
Ditto but for both
Couldn't agree more. Both shinies are massive disappointments.
You do have to wonder why only the eyes change
Bc gameffreak has been getting super lazy lately with shiny pokemon
Honestly surprised they didn't swap the colors of Armorouge and Ceruledge for their shiny.
i wanted armarouge to be blue so bad
I think I made a poor self edit of this exact thing aha
Actually it makes sense. When you think of it that the Charcadets are just wearing armor. Rather than it fully being part of their body.
@@jfb173jb Pretty much this, as the colour of their armour is reflective on the colour of their respective evolution items.
@@jfb173jb It makes sense, but considering there are also Pokemon like Zacian and Zamazenta whose armoured form is essentially about them carrying a sword and a shield, it still feels inexcusable to me. If the idea is that these weapons kind of "merge" with the Pokemon such that its appearance also changes, the same could apply for Charcadet's armours.
From the get-go, I wanted Fuecoco to be a light green like a watermelon so I could call it Cocomelon.
not Cocomelon
Bruuuuuuh 💀
Incredible
I think you mean "fueccocomelon"
No!
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.
very good ideas.
i wonder what you'd think of my own? probably won't like them...
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).
@@legobrick1356 Maybe have a Light blue body or teal with Blue or purple flames?
2:00 AuraGuardian: “The Quaxly line was the easiest to come up with…..Pink!”
3:46 “Here, I simply added some pink-and viola!”
*Gym Leader Opal liked this video*
I honestly think the green on Annihilape worked really well, it kind of looks like a cursed pirate or something.
the flying dutchman
it looks like a ghost
It reminded me of Master Kai from Kung Fu Panda 3
Hulk
I would have kept it's shiny colors at least for it's limbs, giving it a perfect rotting corpse look the main body is the issue I have
Gen 9 is bar none the worst generation of Shiny Pokémon ever. The game was so rushed even the shinies are broken.
I don’t think they even tested the game💀
Agreed
I also felt this way when I saw all the shinies for the first time. Very disappointing generation shinywise.
Game Freak: “We need to make shines for the new region, so make them look good,ok?”
Also Game Freak: *just changes Ceruledge’s eye color, “Ok that’s good enough I guess”
And making the future paradox pokemon just chrone
@@kamenrideruniter4503 At least the paradox shinies have more than 10 pixels of difference between them and the regular paradoxes. Armarouge and Ceruledge just got hoed out of shinies.
It had to have been like 20 seconds before the game's release when they realized they hadn't made a Ceruledge shiny yet
@@squiddog8933 I mean at least hit randomize and whatever comes out of that decision ends up being his shiny. If you have slight sight impairment you can't see it's a shiny
Try making an entire open world game, animate over 400 Pokémon, over 50 characters, add text, story, animate all moves, graphics, the list goes on, then try to fit in creating super complex shiny Pokémon along with all that stuff within under a year then y’all can complain still!
With human beings designing shiny Pokemon, there is no excuse for this little thought being put into them. I really like your fixes, especially the ones for the Tandemaus, Charcadet, Gimmighoul lines, Scovillain, and Paldean Tauros.
I think Gen 9 may have the worst shinies of any generation
So many were barely changed
If you look back at previous generations, there seems to be a lot in each generation. This is just the most new Pokémon we’ve had in a while and all future paradox Pokémon have the same concept so I think it just seems like there’s more. Personally I like a lot of them, even some of the ones that aren’t crazy different, but I agree some could have been way better.
I agree. This is probably the first generation of Pokémon that actually made me feel disappointed with most of the shiny forms. A few of them are actually decent, but most of them could have been better
Yes I was so disappointed when looking through this generation’s shinies. I remember having to squint so hard to try and figure out what the differences even were for some of them.
gen 2 be like
I think they put more effort into the Past Paradox pokemon shinies then anything in the game. I was greatly disappointed in the Future paradox shines, Armarouge and Ceruledge and the starters as well.
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.
Do my eyes deceive me, or do you actually like Garchomp’s infamously god awful shiny? If so, you are of extremely few (no it’s mega doesn’t count)
Edit: oh you edited Garchomp’s a bit more. Ok nvm I’m stupid
@@lennydickson8845 Lol,I was just about to say that I didn't say that at all, haha
Like, I'm one of the few people who kinda like Garchomps shiny but even I know it's not good and could be better haha
The only reason for Gholdengo's shiny being terrible is because he's made of golden coins, even his ability is called "good as gold", so a change that i think would work is making him rusty. He would still be made of gold and maybe more noticeable.
A rusty gold wouldn't make much sense because Gold doesn't rust, instead they could have gone with something like rose gold.
Yeah I tried explaining that to someone and they were very adamant that its lore didnt matter because no other pokemon was like that. some people cant understand design concepts. I think rose gold or a tarnished gold could have worked
@@JCash493 or white gold since that is a thing so the shiny could just as easily be a silvery platinum colour and work well without contradicting anything with its lore
Or just make Gholdengo a rosegold or white gold colour?? They're all still shades of gold.
Eh, I personally would have made Armarouge more of a medium blue with cyan accent to really drive the mega man reference home, you absolutely nailed Ceruledge though
I was about to comment "ok but Iron Thorns has the only good future paradox shiny" but you already had me covered
For Gimmighoul, I think the box should reference the Treasure Chests you would get in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. Like making the red part of the box blue and the yellow part silver. It was the first thing I thought of when thinking how to improve the shiny, and it would have been a cool little reference
8:23 I think a blue tastugiri shiny could be a nice nod to blue fin tuna. While the fish itself isn’t blue inside, a nice pale blue would look really nice
10:47 Iron Bundles shiny is top tier and simple, it doesn't need changing, its already great.
It’s hilarious to me that he thinks Houndstone’s shiny is terrible when it makes its head look like a tombstone in dirt surrounded by dead grass.
Also I’m pretty sure they don’t put as much thought as you want into shinies because they’re not something most players focus on.
I agree that they probably dont care and they aren't super important but at least make the shiny noticable for hunters. I'm not even a shiny hunter and I think that just making it different is bare minimum.
Excuses excuses
It also kinda looks like a sheep dog I think. Like Shep from Animal Crossing. It's shiny kinda reminds me of him. I feel like Game Freak should know that there's a whole community dedicated to hunting shinies. It may seem like many people don't care about hunting shinies but there's quite a lot of UA-camrs dedicated to doing that. I feel like the shiny hunting community is pretty big so there's no excuse for making these shinies so bad
@@pikasheep Dude, adults are 20% of Pokémon’s audience at best. Of that 20%, less than 5% are dedicated shiny hunters. Why would they focus on such a small part of their demographic?
@@primrosevale19951) saying you have to actively search out shinies to care about their appearance is a false equivalency, and 2) driving people to actively avoid a permanent feature is, _at best,_ an undesirable outcome.
The colors that you gave shiny Paldean Tauros makes it look a lot better.
The fact that Gimmighoul and Gholdengo's shinies were not only horrible, but they actually had the audacity to shiny lock them behind a special event Tera raid makes me seriously question what the Gamefreak devs are thinking. They're easily the worst shinies ever, any you can tell because dataminers thought that Gamefreak forgot to give them shiny forms at all.
this is real, as someone who has a shiny gimmighoul and gholdengo from that event, i love them but like,,, man it was barely worth it 😭 but i guess i have bragging rights so there's that 💀
Literally make Gholdengo a Rose Gold color, so easy…
I couldn't believe it when I saw the 'shiny' and original Amarouge and Ceruledge together- as far as I could tell, there was no difference at all! What were they thinking?
Okay, here’s MY ideas for the starter trio.
Fuecoco turns green, both bc of crocodiles and green chili peppers.
Quaxly turns red, bc red is a very flamboyant colour and thus is perfect for the Quaxly line.
Sprigatito turns blue, bc I’d argue that blue is a more magic-like colour.
So basically:
Fuecoco -> Quaxly -> Sprigatito -> Fuecoco
Greavard and Houndstone don't have bad shinies at all, but your versions look cool as well
I agree. I do like the black shiny fix but honestly the actual shiny is an A or B tier in my opinion.
Not good enough for S tier like Koraidon.
idk if they made the shinies so hard to see to contrast how easy it is to find them in these games, but hoo boy they made some choices
one thing I see often in shiny fixes is takning the future paradoxes and changing the color of the liquid inside them, and every time i dont know how to feel because i've always had a gut feeling that liquid was plot relevant
This would be digusting for shiny hunts since future paradox' light/liquid/whatever gets turned off when they sleep.
Maybe keep the chrome so that they’re still noticeable, but also change the liquid, maybe to the dominant color of the shiny mons they’re based on. Iron Valiant’s pink fluid goes to blue, Iron Bundle’s blue goes to purple, Iron Jugulis’ violet goes to green (i wonder if the face LEDs would change too), etc…
I don't think they're liquids? I'm pretty sure they're lights... and it should definitely change in the shinies. It's pretty ridiculous that they don't change at all, it would've made the shinies so much better. I'm personally ok with the future paradox shinies but I do feel like their lights should've changed. They are robots after all so the shinies could just have different lights from the regular ones
@@pikasheep The problem is, if they are the only shiny cue, they would be impossible to spot when they're sleeping.
@@pikasheep idk man, they look like science liquids to me
I love the fact that you dou multiple shiny colors so if we dont agree at least we have more colors to pick lol
Definitely saves grey Fuecoco from being even more disappointing.
Gen 9 has some of the worst shinies and it was great seeing you improve so many of them. Some suggestions I have though is not changing the armor on Armarouge and Ceruledge since that’s how they evolve in game as well as Miraidon since it already looks good imo and it and Koraidon have contrasting shinies.
I like that you made Baxcalibur black. Not only does it really look nice, but he's obviously based on Godzilla, and a common color for the Big G is charcoal black.
not only that, his hands are basically the same shade of blue as his atomic breath
@minkusaurus I actually did not notice that?
Alex: I refuse to pronounce this Pokemon ee-ji-slash.
Also Alex: Baxcavalier
What if you make goldengo's shiny rose gold so it keeps its name?
perfect then it still makes sense with it's name and ability name
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
Changing Charcadet's colors to Ceruledge was a genius idea
Finally, I can be proud of this generations shinies lol
Honestly I think houndstones default shiny is perfect. It really looked like a graveyard. Could be colored a bit darker and more vibrant though
I like how you turned annihilape's shiny from a more vivid version of the original color palette into a fiery sun look to it which not Only makes him look like its pure rage took over his entire body but also makes it look like a fire fighting type, it's pretty dope honestly
I think Anihilape's shiny looks fine as is, not every shining needs to be flashy
Agreed. I even shiny hunted my Annihilape because the blue fits it despite being subtle, like a dead body turning blue not long after death. It definitely doesn't deserve to be lumped into the same category of bad shinies as Maushold or Paldean Tauros, at least you can _tell_ it's shiny, wether it's one's taste or not.
to be honest i really like the sprigatito line as it is, it looks more minty, than the saturated more lime green it is normally, and the purple looks really nice as a highlight for that, and idk ig i like that
The black hair shiny Greaveyard instantly reminded me of Horrible History's Death, and now I want it to be real so bad 😭😭
Oh I ADORE the shinies you made for the sprigatito line!!
I was so happy to hear the “DISSAPOINTED” sound again.
The Ceruledge Shiny you made is phenomenal, and I honestly couldn't believe that they didn't do that. It was such an obvious thing to reverse the colours of ceruledge and armarouge for the shinies. But the flipped Armarouge colours on Ceruledge is fantastic.
All of these changes you created look amazing. Great work.
Sadly terrible shiny will always exist no matter what
But thinks to Aura, hes always make based alt shinies 💪
And I hope y'all have great day
Those green fuecoco line shinies go hard, the alternate red/turquoise colors for quaquaval go pretty hard as well I don't really like the pink it looks weird
I unironically love that yellow skeledirge, and the red quaquaval looks awesome!
Brown Maushold looks like a bunch of Calico Critters and I love it
Gotta say shiny dipplin looks amazing
It got Drpplin
I think gholdengo’s shiny is that way because it’s made from actual gold coins that can’t change color.
Still doesn't change the fact is absolutly hot Garbodor
No matter how lore accurate its is... it's still bad.
Heck I will take a rusted looking one.
I mean, it’s Pokémon. Yes they can change color.
@@AmoniPaleo 1. Gold doesn't rust.
2. silver also wouldn't work because A. They could face a lawsuit from Marvel (aka Disney) and B. It's called GHOLDengo
@@flowerfaerie8931 the only thing I can think of is making it look more like pyrite (aka fool's gold). But... then again it'd look really faded and barely noticeable.
@@GiordanDiodato Orrr, rainbow pyrite perhaps. Some pyrite can also be a more greenish-whitish-goldish-honestly idk what to call that color just Google it, that’s actually really pretty, for another option.
Dude, these designs are excellent - well done!
Changing the colour of the red liquid on the future paradox pokemon doesnt make sense in their lore
Hot take: i don't mind Ceruledge/Amarouge's shinies because they evolve after getting the armor, so imo it'd made little to no sense for the armor to change colors when they're shiny
Honestly, I really like the shiny for meowscarada. Subtle doesn't always mean bad.
The worst part about these barely changing shinies is that when you hunt for them in overworkd your gonna miss them since they barely change
Dude! You did so good with this!
I actually like most of the shinies
My thing with shinies is that as long as it suits the pokemon or the colours look well on the pokemon even though it's similar to the original (for example I really like Quaquaval's periwinkle/violet)
Now we know Bro doesn't know how to cook most of the time
These are sick. Dropped a sub now imma binge your channel :) Great work!
I think the future paradox shinies look really nice as a set, so changing some and not all of them would make them worse I think.
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.
Bro literally turned houndstone into SCP 628
You definitely didnt need to change Iron Bundle lol, but the Japanese Iron Moth is such a hit that I'll let it pass
Dude I think GameFreak needs to hire you as their shiny Pokémon creator cause your color schemes were awesome as heck
shiny mr rime is awesome,it gets decolored to look like its black and white,like chaplin's movies
9:41 but Alex, Everything is chrome in the future!
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
They definitely missed an opportunity on the pepper pokemon - the other pepper colours is a no brainer imo
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.
the only reason for gholdengos shiny is its name is GOLDEN but if they wanted that intact how about at least its chest around its belt the name still makes sense and it would be more noticeable
I can KINDA understand Armarouge and Ceruledge because the armor is not the pokemon.... IF THEY WENT BY THAT LOGIC. Komala amd the Tinkaton line both have shinies based on the objects they hold. But even so, they could have made the non-armor parts a bit better, like a blue and gold Armarouge or a crimson and purple Ceruledge
This reminds me of a Memega video about koraidon and miraidon colors were swapped in the thumbnail video with koriadon having miraidon's color scheme and vice-versa. I was shocked on how much their color schemes reflect one another.
every time i see a theauraguardian video i start shaking in fear
I loved the red Quaquavel so much, if that was its shiny I would go through the horrors of egg hunting for it (ik Masuda method is fairly quick, it's just so freaking boring 💀)
Yeah
Fun fact: I call shiny Iron Bundle Iron Bin
With Gholdengo, a nice subtle change that could've been perfect for the shiny version would be to make it go from plain gold to a rose gold color. It'll still be gold, but with a pink tint to it.
or make it look like pyrite (aka fool's gold), but then again it'd just look faded.
By experience, even if shiny Gengar barely changes I still love him
I'm pretty sure Shiny Scovillain is supposed to be a reference to Mario and Luigi
what if the sprigatito line was like yellow and dark colored something?
I really liked what you did to Ceruledge, my fav by far.
*frantically checking if this was posted on April 1st*
Nintendo/Game Freak should definately hire you and redesign ALL Pokemon shinies
One thing to point out is that Gamefreak always hand picked shiny colours, there's misinformation that they used an algorithm or some pre-set shift in palette but they've always been picked deliberately
On another note, I can’t believe you missed putting a black-ish, dark green border around the white bits of the rice bit of Tatsugiri. Like when seaweed is wrapped around the edge tk make a sushi roll.
My day is made. AuraGuardian has a new vid ❤
I think you turning Baxcalibur shiny black makes sense for it’s typing and where it was found to signify frost bite. You can kinda see it in how you did it with the line for starting with the paler color
Your take on shiny iron treads is awesome! I always thought a nice dark blue would look epic on him. Seeing you give him a type of blue as a side option was epic tho. However I am all for the neon aqua and neon green. Aqua and neon green are my 2 favorite colors and iron treads is my 2nd favorite pokemon. Seriously what a legend. Keep up the great work Aura!
I agree with all these Pokémon having mistakes as shinies except for annihilape and every starter except quaquaval.
Why didn’t they just make gholdengo silver? Why didn’t they change the lights on the violet paradoxes and ONLY turned the metal chrome?
I’m kinda surprised kilowattrel line wasn’t in this. Only change is the black going to a maroon colour or something. Think they could’ve done better.
The armors do make sense when you remember that technically the Charcadets change is just like them wearing the armor. Rather than it being part of their body. And Goldengo's shiny wouldn't make sense if he was silver. Then he wouldn't be "Golden"go. He'd be Silverslider.
Also you really seem to like pink.
I’ve been waiting for this
Armorouge, Ceruledge, and Gholdengo are all summed up in a few simple words:
“OH MY GOODNESS… SQUIDWAARD!!!”
That neon blue on Treads looking like Phanpy. Neat
I swear that everytime there’s some related Pokémon lines or convergent evolutions and their shinies suck, I just feel like groaning because the obvious answer is just right there! Swap the colors between the two Pokémon, it’s that easy!
There is absolutely no excuse for Gen 8 and especially Gen 9 to have such an alarming amount of lazy shinies.
I was immediately lost when I saw Yamper and Iron Jugulis at the beginning.
*Armarouge and Ceruledge:* I wonder how they will look like if the shiny version retained the Armor initial color, but the Pokémon's color were swapped.
*Tandemaus and Maushold:* Imagine if only one of the mice had another color (brown, black...), and for the Family-of-4, as well for one of the offspring. But for the Family-of-3, the offspring would be a new color like gold or grey, midway between white-brown or white-black?
*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.
Nothing anyone can ever say will ever convince me that Armarouge and Ceruledge weren't designed based on X and Zero. To see their shiny being so disappointingly stupid hurts my Nostalgia in the feels.
GameFreak was like: "This gen the shiny Pokémon can be seen in the wild without the sparkles. Let's make a lot of shinies that are nearly identical to their original colors!".
I love how the background's yellow for the shiny vids
actually i think the reason the shiny's where so bland is because they where trying to hint at a third perfect evolution. The eyes are the only things that change but its not perfect.
Ceruledge gets armouroges red eyes
but armouroge gets blue eyes instead of purple
So what if there is a third blue eyed charcadet evolution whose shiny has ceruledges purple eyes?
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
This is really the worst generation of shinies.
