I do have experience with this so I can tell you that guaranteeing less than a minute is talking out of your ass. It's not hours per pokemon, but it takes a few minutes at least to do it right, but then there's a lot of them to do. It adds up and there's other things to do with their time. So...

And yet it's true. Did you honestly expect that Game Freak had people painstakingly swapping the palettes of every Pokemon? That's too time consuming and expensive to dedicate their resources on. Look at shiny sprites again. Virtually any Pokemon with the same base color has the same palette...

I don't think so. But if nothing else, it's a nice hypothesis.

That's not quite how it works. If something is meant to be battle-able, then to prevent crashes in the event of erroneous or hacked code, then a shiny value has to be coded in. Shiny values are almost always created through an algorithm, so it's faster and easier to just let the code do the work...

I just completed the trial, talked to the short-haired person near the Slowpoke in the road, traveled to the end of Mahalo Trail, and there he was, hiding behind a tiki. Cue automatic dialogue sequence.

To be fair, the type matchups aren't immediately known in-game. You have to test out the moves on that Pokemon species first.

Alolan Persian isn't a joke; it's a designer cat breed. As someone in animal health, I kind of wish the general population would react to pet breeds like pugs, and persians the way everyone has reacted to this guy.

The first time event (man standing outside the Pokemon Center) in the demo is up and it's the gift of 10 Pretty Wings.

Ash-Greninja is an activated and coded form all on its own. If you hacked a shiny battle bond Greninja, Ash-Greninja could be it's regular color without causing a crash.

The black squares in this image are missing/hidden/corrupted images among the "sprites" found from datamining

We're missing one, or we're missing nine. Or the guy still can't count. Well, there is precedent, so I could see it happening. I won't be happy if that's the case though. I wasn't happy with the Carbink-Diancie separation either. I think I'd like it better if there was no sort-of-evolution...

If UBs count, we're still short one.

Perhaps not, but we're close if not all the way through the list. We've seen 72 new Pokemon so far, and GoddamnItGavin is saying that there will be 81.

Woodpeckers and toucans all fit in the Piciforme Order of birds. A woodpecker evolving into a Toucan pokemon is incredibly straightforward and simple compared to a dove to a quail, both in concept and design.

Yes. Yes we are.
