The white in Miraidon is, in my opinion, also a reference to a minimalist futuristic aesthetic that loves white.

@darcieclements4880 Ай бұрын

I just started the video so I did not know that it was white but I can guarantee you right now it's a reference to the white serpent. White serpent lore is epic and I encourage everyone to go out and find every story about the white serpent that you can find because it's super ancient and super cool and there's about a million renditions of it some of which are directly opposed to each other. In fact there's some who speculate that the white serpent is the oldest deity known to mankind as a depiction of it or at least something that after thousands of years under the ground is a white serpent is one of the oldest artifacts that we've found of modern humans. And this thing was not small I believe there was more than one and they're huge and we know almost nothing about them, but they do weirdly line up with some of the white serpent lore.

Oh that's a really good point. I always wondered why it was so meh and why they didn't do a white one since if you don't feed a flamingo enough tiny red crustaceans they turn white. Sun bleaching explains everything. I think though I'm going to have to go with the option of referring when the Chinese just look really cool versus being a reference. It would be nice if we could have both but I am always disappointed when a shiny is just like really meh.

@pablokestarx5901 Ай бұрын

I think the Paradox form's colours can have an extra meaning too. The past ones mostly use the same shiny colorations as their previous pokemons. Because, after all, you cannot change the past. But the future shinies are all without paint (even Miraidon), because the future is yet to be painted, it's in our hands to paint it.

@bluekirby_64 Ай бұрын

The shiny future Paradoxes being unpainted versions also makes sense with the rarity, since factory rejects of mass-produced things tend to be much rarer to find. Additionally, the reason only the metal parts change while the neon "energy" stays the same might be because, if the latter is what keeps them running, a difference in its color may indicate a malfunction, thus not letting them battle properly, which can't happen ingame as a shiny Pokemon is functionally the same as a regular one.

Okay, I actually have a bit of a tinfoil hat theory in regards to Koraidon's shiny. Remember way back when Junichi Masuda went on a trip to Portugal and not only said that he loved the restaurant Nando's but that the rooster they use for their logo, The Rooster of Barcelos, would be a good concept for a pokémon? The very same bird whose primary colours are black with white, red and yellow as accent colours? I theorise this to be the true origin, at least partially, for Koraidon's shiny, maybe not even that, it could have inspired Koraidon outright, it just lines up so well. That concept for a rooster pokémon IS Koraidon. It even has many rooster-esque features like a massive feathery head crest, huge tail feathers and even technically wings (that sprout from its head of coarse). You heard it here first. Koraidon is part rooster. You're welcome.

Fun Fact: While hero form Palafin’s Shiny resembles an Orca, it’s also a reference of how uncommon it is for superheroes to wear black in their costumes. Sure there are a couple like Black Widow, Batman, and Black Panther, but considering black is a color not usually associated with heroism and justice, it’s makes sense that shiny Palafin’s hero form would be black.

Why The Golden Gate Bridge is called that, and why it's Red: The reason why the Golden Gate bridge is red is because it was purposely painted red in the 1930s. Bethlehem Steel at its foundries in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, had the steel coated with a red lead primer to increase safety and visibility of the structure. The name “golden” came from its yellowish-orange color when seen from a distance but this has faded over the years. Basically from a far off distance, the bridge had a Golden color but it slowly turned more red the closer you got to it.

2:30 Yeah! I think the only other brazilian mons are Paldean Tauros, Hitmontop and Whimsicott. Paldean Tauros cuz it's based on a brazilian folklore legends named "The Black Face Bull", the shiny even has it's face getting even darker to confirm that. Whimsicott's Pokedex's entry says it travels in little tornados, and due to it's more tan skin and also trickster nature leads me to believe it's based on Saci Pereré, also a brazilian folklore legend. And Hitmontop's japanese name is Capoeira, which is a brazilian martial art.

3:16 I'd definitely describe Nymble and Lokix as a more green color. It's mostly a Kamen Rider reference rather than just Tokusatsu: » The normal coloration of the line is blue/black, common colors for describing evil characters or enemies. Thus, the shiny colors being green is a reference to Kamen Rider 1, Ichigo, as he is a human-turned-cyborg using evil technology who now fights against evil. The rare rebellious soldier to reflect the rare nature of shiny Pokémon (more likely). » The confusion some have with Nymble and Lokix's shiny coloration being yellow or green could be a reference to Kamen Rider Zero-One, the first Rider of the Reiwa era, in which fans and official sources alike sometimes categorize the character with a green suit rather than their actual highlighter-yellow colors (less likely).

@Umbrellie_ Ай бұрын

I love when the Shinies have some reason for their Shiny colouration. Sure, cool is cool and all, and I do also love the old trend of "blue thing become pink thing" or "Grass becomes autumn colours", but there's something special about lines like Smoliv or Rellor where it's just smaller changes that affect the origin of the pokemon.

@spyroclone152 Ай бұрын

I am indeed very biased, but I personally think that the Sprigatito line's shiny forms are underrated and absolutely great despite them being so subtle. The pink to purple is a very nice alternative that compliments the more cold tones of the green added. It may not be the greatest starter shiny in some eyes, but I think it's freaking awesome as far as subtle color changes go.

I like it most when shinies reference something, but the most stylish reference you can make

Rellor’s ball may also be a reference to Ancient Egyptian Mythology where the Dung Beetle God Khepri rolls the sun around the sky every day.

Shiny Dondozo also looks like a sunnyside up egg, which fits the theming of it being a chef.

an other to thing to note about the box art legends shines is that they are black and white. just like the Unova box art legends. which could be a reference (or a hint because they in the code before it was announced) to the indigo disk. also there both dragons so it's a cool bonus connection. also great video by the way

Since I just came from the Sinnoh starter video with the nice Tortoises are Turtles tangent, I feel obliged to point out that Dolphins are Whales. I like when they put actual though into it, especially since some of the early ones we're stuck with are just not as interesting, good looking or fitting (in any combination).

While having an interesting inspiration makes any shiny better than if those colors had been chosen at random, the appearance is what matters more to me. So inspiration can make a bad shiny good, but it can't make a bad shiny better than an actually good looking shiny.

From what I’ve heard the the metal change on the tinkatot shiny line does match with the colors of a shiny corviknight

For those wondering the about the Golden Gate Bridge's name origin, It's name because it's the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean, which is called the Golden Gate Strait.

Shiny farigiraf is one of my favorite shiny's because it was my first shiny in S&V, and the first I hunted for at the start of the game, and I found it as a Girafarig. I was hoping to get some more lore into Farigiraf's shiny colors, and that's why I've been waiting for this video for a year and a half now.

- Fidough and Dachsbun’s shiny I think more has to do with their dough-ish skin going from a generic white bread dough to a wheat bread dough. - I agree with you about Bellibolt being based on an avocado. There’s a keto diet recipe even called “Avocado Toad in the Hole”.

@Iceycube1404 Ай бұрын

White bread is made of wheat, but not whole wheat. When milling wheat for white bread they remove 28% of the kernel making the flour white. Fidough is probably actually brown because there's been added dark malt extract or cocoa to the dough, seeing as it doesn't get a rougher texture, which a whole grain bread would have :]

On one hand, I think it's really cool when they put thought into the looks of shinies, just like how a lot of thought goes into the base design of many Pokémon. On the other hand, my favourite shiny is Ponyta, because blue fire is just rad.

I like both approaches to shiny Pokemon (for an example of each: shiny Charizard, and shiny Hydrapple).

9:59 The Blue color of the Coppersulfate ore comes from the Coppersulfate pentahydrate it is made of and if you have pure Coppersulfate it would be white. Which is why i would have preferred a white shiny color. 5:00 The orange color of the salt comes from Iron ions in the Salt.

It's a little hard to say which types of Shinies I prefer. Most of my favorites are ones that I think look better than the original colorations, and my favorite is Minior because I think it makes perfect sense and looks amazing.

Howdy! I love your stuff! Just wanted to pop in and say that I am a HUGE rider fan and for Dooms Geats (One of the “Gold” riders you spoke of) that’s a Fan Edit and not the official image of him. 3:18, also personally I think shiny Lokix is more based on Kamen Rider Zero-One or Masked Rider Ichigo (Being more of a Greenish color and both of these Riders are also Grasshopper themed) Ps I love your stuff! I just sent that as a small note

its name is quite literal, its the bridge over 'the golden gate' which is what that region is called, look out across the bar to the ocean at sunset and it looks like a golden gate, so its the bridge across that, so its quite simple, but well the name is a bit confusing as it feels like the 'golden gate' part refers to the bridge, suggesting it should be golden, and some how gate like, but no that's just the area the bridge is in, its the bridge across the golden gate bay, the 'golden gate bridge'
