I'm probably one of the few people who don't really care much about shines.

If it's too hard or tedious to obtain, I'll lose interest, so Shiny-hunting is not for me either...

There's something particularly special about random, found in the wild shinies to me if I'm honest.

Today I used my Switch for the first time in a while and realized that I didn't put it into the dock properly. So the battery was all empty xD

I bumped into 7 random overworld shinies in Shield. I don't mind having them ofc, but the reason I prefer shiny breeding is because I can breed them in a special ball =D
Shiny charm ftw. (though tbf I'm at 1k plus hours in this game rofl)

Maybe it's just me being weird but I don't care that much about shinies in general. Most of them are fugly and breeding / hunting them just takes way too long.

Shiny Celebi is cute! :3

I'd like to see more Pokemon that are naturally different (like Shellos/Gastrodon or even Spinda) in terms of color/design. It doesn't have to be regional variants, either. The same way cats and dogs have different fur colors and patterns, etc. irl.

I like mons with different appearances like Meowstic or Indeedee or Unfezant.
Even Burmy/Wormadam are pretty solid.

I like more different forms than gender differences per se. But yeah, they're pretty dope.

239801 I prefer the more subtle gender differences, like male Roserade having a shorter cape than female Roserade. Though ever since gen 5 they've only done really obvious ones, like Frillish and Unfezant.

I liked the gender differences, but they must have realised that it would require doubling their work so they sneakily discontinued the idea...

Gender differences are pretty cool, but I'm personally not a fan of female Heracross' horn. That's prolly the only 'mon where I prefer it to be a guy.

They've been doing them less and less, but it's not completely discontinued.
Gen 8 has a whopping 1 (1!) whole mon with gender differences xD
Supposedly Basculegion has it too, but there's no pic for it yet in Bulbapedia's list lol

Eh.... it's kind of funny as a nod to how different in size Pumpkins can be imo... but I doesn't really add anything imo lol
Kind of like how the Unown forms are more of a collectible rather than anything useful xD

Edit: okay, uh apparently their sizes affect their stats:

Quote:
Different sizes have different base stats. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base Attack stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.
Guess I learned something today, thought it was just cosmetic @[email protected]

239807 also the super sized Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist have lower pitched cries than the other 3 forms.

Imagine Wailord having different sizes. I don't know why that popped into my head of all things. xD
