>>21609090It just goes against the whole setup that had been in place for the first two stages. Brown=body, green=armor. The shiny had that, and the body had more of an armored look that it's apparently supposed to have. There were maybe a couple tiny things I would have changed (like the arms), but the shiny still fit better overall.
That and, you know, it actually followed the overall color scheme instead of the off-white everything sailing in from nowhere.
>>21609141Eh I actually think Delphox had a great shiny. At the very least in that it was dynamically different (lol Garchomp being one shade different) and it wasn't that puke green color that most shiny Pokemon tend to be. Definitely got the short straw on usability though, even with new move tutors, which truly does blow.
