What would be the best way to differentiate pokemon to make each feel more unique without extensive work and model changes?

Random set hue filter overlay?

Noticeable size differences by model scale?

Set idle expression based on nature?

Pokemon Stadium 2 did the first. Combine that with size scaling and natures being visible, and you might be onto something.

Of the three options, random hue variation would be my pick. I'd rather not have size differences because my insecurities about my small penis would drive me to catch the biggest possible specimen. Idle expression based on nature would be nice, but then you'd have to make a different texture for each nature for every pokemon. Seems like alot more work than the other two options.

Ideally, all three at the same time would make every pokemon feel truly uniqe. While we're at it, can we get rid of IVs? They were implemented for the same purpose, but everybody just breeds / injects for perfect ones anyway.

Alcremie tries to do that but you retarded cunts scream "18 dex slots died for this". So if GF managed to get any feedback already there's no way in hell this is ever happening.

Also you hypocrites say that the hue variations would be good, but in reality you will say "lazy recolors lol" if that would happen.

The easiest way for it would be customized colours, but it would make shinys useless.

shinies already are useless. They offer no advantage over regular colored mon. I'd gladly give up shinies for random color variants.

Because knowing GF, they're literally a different model each instead of one with a simple palette swap. So yes, they are taking space.

Any aesthetic change is always useless. Shiny pokemons have the added value of being extremely rare.
They should instread insert variants based on seasons (rip), maybe night and day, and location.

Shiny Espeon is far less valuable than regular Espeon. "value" is subjective. A shiny is only as valuable as you personally perceive it to be. In real life, gold is far more expensive than it should be because people perceive it to be more valuable than it is. Rarity does not necessarily equal value. Diamonds are relatively rare, but I have no interest in buying one because i don't personally value diamonds. They do nothing for me. Same with shiny pokemon.

With the 3d models it wouldn't be too hard to add an anchor point to each Pokemon that you can affix an earned ribbon to. And then I can publicly display all my footless pokemon wearing footprint ribbons.

I'm also a fan of hue tweaks.

Obviously the palette would be limited to colour schemes similiar to the base colour. Still "ruins" shiny Garchomp and Gengar, but no real loss there.

the fuck does this mean, the shinys are more "valuable" by definition of being rare, and that's a fact, especially when the game doesn't offer any other way to distinguish your Pokémon from another. if you don't care it's your problem, but there's a reason why people do shiny hunts for months. you might argue that a shiny espeon ultimately has the same worth of a normal one, but less? you're just trying too hard to make an argument again shiny pokemons

Wild pokemon don't need personalization, since they only appear briefly in turn-based battle. Trainer-owned are better personalized by adding accessories, like small ribbons, pendants, earrings, scarves.

If you're insisting on wild ones, scaling would work. Monster hunter did it.

Difference is that sizes could also affect the stats, which could make sense honestly. See Pumpkaboo.

I don't think they would affect stats, since pumkaboo is pretty unique, but you mentioning it, they should affect some moves based on size/weight. So yeah, you're right, scaling is not a good choice for pokemon.

No, it would hurt the collecting aspect from the game. Although, maybe shinies could be replaced by adding actual shine/sparkles/glow in your concept, since the new graphics allow that.

Shiny Espeon is less valuable than regular Espeon because that disgusting green color is ugly as sin. I would rather buy a regular Espeon than a shiny one. The shiny version is literally less valuable to me.

Essentially what i'm saying is this: shiny pokemon are a meme. People who shiny hunt only do so because they think they're valuable when they're not. If shiny pokemon were replaced by color variants then those people would simply seek out the color they like most, which would likely take significantly less time than hunting a shiny.

The more variations you have the less unique each variation feels. When there is only a regular and a rare coloration, you hunt for rare to have it in your collection. When there is 10 slightly different colors, it'll feel pointless to get them all. Take your pic related, spending hours and hours to get 9 frogs of slightly different green hues is not the same as hunting for one acid green ayy lmao espeon. Not everyone will even notice if you have some of the rarer venusaurs on your team.

Will you retards stop making real life comparisons when talking about pokemons? A 1 in a 3000 colour variant has inherently more worth from a collector perspective than what literally anyone can easily have, and that's true for absolutely anything. That shiny garchomp looks like shit is a completely unrelated point.

The switch supports 32GB cartridges, which is more than enough for any game on the switch, and certainly for an AA game like pokemon, space problems are already non-existent since gen 4.
Also you cannot just palette swap alcremie because the decorations have different shapes, so a part of the actual 3d model is different depending on the decoration.
So the absolute best you can do is
>1 base model (the cream)
>6 decorations models
>1 gigantamax model
>8 cream textures
>6 decorations textures
>1 gigantamax texture
