Shiny
Blaziken - The overall sprite looks cooler, fiercer, and stronger than Blaziken's normal sprite (the normal one's still awesome, though)! :)
Now, I honestly
cannot decide between Normal and Shiny Charizard, Rayquaza, and Giratina!
Charizard - orange Charizard is just too classic and awesome, and it shows that Charizard purely represents
fire.:t006:
Rayquaza - black and yellow is a very cool combo (as all black Shinys are sleek in design) but the green & yellow combo is very nice too, and it fits Rayquaza theme of Lord of The Skies, and representing Pokemon Emerald (plus it helps the Legendaries match the Starters' main colors).:t384:
Giratina - the "negative colors" theme of Giratina is awesome, but the normal version symbolizes a sense of death and chaos more (mainly because it has red, which is nicely combo'd with gray as well)
Anyway, I
really hope the shiny variations of Charizard, Rayquaza, and Giratina become cool normal color themes for other Pokemon (hopefully new Dragon types); that way, I won't have to decide which one to use mainly! They're all so awesome!! :D
