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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

I enjoy both. So long as there's a decent color change, and it doesn't look radioactive or like someone vomited a paint set on the Pokémon. Turoundtula and Spidops are also Spiderman colors. Wigglet and Wuggtrio's shinies are more a reference to the ribbon eel than the garden varietie. They have huge "noses" to smell fish nearby since their eyesight isn't great. They're blue and usually form groups of 3. Then one turns yellow when it becomes female (yes, they just change gender all of a sudden), mates with its buddies, and dies. It's not around for long, making it rare, like a shiny.

Personally I think the Pawmot line turning pink isn’t just for the cute factor. It’s a fighting type and you can’t look at the regular colors without thinking of Dragon Ball and more specifically how it looks like a super saiyan. With that in mind, the pinkness of the shiny could be a more specific reference to Dragon Ball and Goku’s first major power-up technique, the Kaioken. That technique multiplies the user’s power and had a distinct red aura that makes those using the Kaioken Technique appear to be washed out in reddish pink.

I personally always loved when they focused more on making the shiny pokemon look good as opposed to being referencing something. I think of it like this: If I'm gonna use a pokemon, sure it's a flex to have a shiny one, but equally, it doesn't *change* anything, so unless you're a mad shiny hunter trying to get a perfectly competitive pokemon as a shiny for the sake of having the 'perfect' team, the only real difference it makes is, do you enjoy the pokemon you have and use? I'd prefer having pokemon that look good, and if the shiny looks worse to me than the original, I'm not gonna bother going for the shiny one. Like Flamigo for example, as cool as it is that the shiny is based on real flamingos, I prefer the bright, fluorescent, fake pink of the normal color Palafin being based off of an Orca is cool, and I like orcas, but I don't like the look of the black on Palafin, so I'm gonna go with the normal one The Chrome of the shiny Future Paradox mon follow a similar trend, why would I want *less* interesting colors on my pokemon? But equally, some of the shiny pokemon I think do look better than the original, Ting-Lu being a prime example, the greenish oxidized copper looks really nice, Lokiix being gold looks nice, and the gold superhero vibe adds onto it and is a cool addition. The shiny Droopy Tatsugiri, the pure white one, though it loses color, looks nicer like that in my opinion, it makes the weird inflatable throat sack more cohesive with the design, rather than just being there for the sake of looking like rice. I don't like Shiny Hydrapple's colors, but I DO like that it did references Caramel apples, which moderately redeems it in my eyes, and of course, I really like shiny Terapagos, because the bright colors just look so nice on it. I prefer pokemon look good over having cool origins, but, sometimes you can get both, and while obviously that'd be the ideal situation, most of the time it's a trade-off, one or the other. And in those cases, I'd want ones that look good, rather than just have a neat origin.

Fun fact: the blue crab is highly invasive and killed in mass in many parts of Europe including Spain. So maybe shiny klauf is rare because everyone hunts them

The Charcadet line's shiny forms hurt me on a physical level. It's almost worse than like the Cleffa line's shiny forms, the difference is so unnoticeable - but the Charcadet line is so cool, unlike the Cleffa line, it should have gotten more love with its shiny forms! :(

Honestly I like both... But the Regionals referencing originals is what I prefer😁

I like when Shinys have meaning and reference somthing.

I think there should always be a healthy mix. Shinies with good reasons are cool but sometimes you just need a black Charizard to look really slick.

Golden Gate Bridge was the bridge placed across the Golden Gate. A strait that opens into the San Francisco Bay
