>>43884620>Who is responsible?Game Freak for making an actually smart coding decision in gen 2. The way shinies worked is they just picked the next pallet in the sequence. Because some pallets were next to pallets of similar colors this meant you got things like Crobat or Gengar with shinies that are basically the same color. An unfortunate side effect of an otherwise creative way to save a bunch of memory on storing two versions of every sprite. That said, it could have been corrected by making sure all of the pallets were arranged in an order such that the adjacent ones were always a wildly different colorset.
