Thank god I didn't foolishly delete it or something in my fit of autism. The move to 3d models really made me appreciate his color. If I think back that I even contemplated the idea of releasing it, I want to go back in time and punch me in the face. At least even back then I realized how damn lucky I was to get a random shiny of my favorite Pokemon, even if I didn't like its color at first.
