>>18643290I don't know, I really don't think Macuarrior is very red. Maybe yellow, if not gold? But "is it gold plated" seems like a pretty good indicator of entry into the gold category. It's still extremely rare using that criteria.
The Monkezuma line are greyish-blue monkeys with distinctive golden jewelry that slowly takes over their whole body until the final evolution is blinged out like the gaudiest celebrity to ever want to to punch someone else in the mouth.
I've hacked up this image to illustrate what I mean. On the left, only the gold was changed. On the right, only the fur was changed. Changing the gold to some other metal or stone seems, to me, to change its concept fundamentally. It seems to change what it is. Maybe that's just me. But changing the fur color doesn't seem to change the pokemon into something different.
On the left is "an aggressive gorilla thing that has has obsidian armor. probably a fighting or normal type." On the right is "an aggressive gorilla thing that uses its golden trophies to prove he's the best. probably a fighting or normal type." Again, that might just be me. But it seems to me that gold is more important to the pokemon than just what color its fur happens to be. It's what people will think of first when describing the pokemon to others, or trying to find it in the pokedex, or what they except to trigger Spectrum. It's the focal color. That's where I'm coming from.
