Anime-Shiny Pokemon Problem

[LaSamarox]

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but under the Anime section in the main menu, in the Shiny Pokemon section, they neglect to show the shiny Butterfree that Ash's Butterfree falls in love with on the episode that Ash releases it. I'm not sure which episode it is, but I know it is in the Indigo series. Post here if you notice this as well.

I swear that Butterfree is the bane of my existence

It's not a Shiny Butterfree

Thats a shiny Butterfree

Completely different colour

 

[Silver Ryu]

That Butterfree wasn't shiny. This is what a shiny Butterfree looks like.

EDIT: Whoops, looks like Serebii beat me to it.

 

[Fiery Blaziken]

Why don't put it up and put a note that it really wasn't a "real" shiney to stop these threads?

 

[Locke Yggdrasill]

I bet you it was shiny, but they just used pink, because little chilluns would have been up all night, having nightmares about the vampire Butterfree. 8Ð
Yeah, I'm not really sure why this isn't closed yet. :<

A challenger!

The 3D series has a Butterfree that looks similar to the anime one. More to my point, it's a different color. Not to mention, some Pokémon changed their alt. color variation quite a bit between GSC and Third Generation, and some slightly changed tint (Gyarados) between RSE and FRLG.

Additionally, "Shiny" is just a fanterm for the more official "Alt. Color", is it not? It's hard to debate that the season one Butterfree isn't an alternate color from regular Butterfree. That might not automatically make it "Shiny", but I don't want to start a silly arguement, but it's worth more consideration than it's being given.

How could it be shiny if shiny pokemon did not exist at that point?

 

[Jon_Sly]

What about in Silver and Gold shiny butterfree? Also some lady in that game says she see's a pink butterfree. Never seen a shiny one in silver/gold though so not sure.

Shiny butterfree in gold and silver are pink. My personal belief of the situation, is that Butterfree's alt. colour in G/S/C was designed around that Butterfree, in the hopes that it would avoid fans bringing up the Butterfree in the anime. It was originally drawn that way because pink is the colour of love, but when shinies came in, that butterfree was made shiny.

 

[Erus Black Mage]

My guess while doing the episode g/s/c shiny forms were being made and I guess butterfree was going to be originally pink but I think they changed it to pink wings only for unkown reason

EDIT:OR they were gonna make a reference to stadium because in stadium, when you name a pokemon differenly, it will become different colored, so I guess they were making a reverence to stadium with the pink butterfree.

Shiny Butterfree in GSC

Shiny Butterfree in GSC

Sure if you don't have it in a GBColor. Otherwise;

I think it qualifies...?

 

[Roy G. Biv]

yeah, I think I sent an e-mail to Joe a while back,

 

[John Ray]

It must be a shiny.

Anime ones are different from game ones.

 

[Serebii]

No, if you noticed in the section, all the pokemon listed are the same colours as the Shiny Pokemon in the games

It is NOT a shiny. THE END

 

[Missingno. Master]

Explain the so-called "shiny" Shuckle with the purple shell, then. Shiny Shuckles have blue shells, as I ought to know.

 

[Serebii]

It has been known for the colours to fluctuate inside the games...they're different in the 3D games for example but usually they aim at the colour in the handhelds

And you just made yourself look like a moron

Shiny Butterfree from the G/S/C era as played on a GameBoy Colour. This picture was already posted in this thread. But according to YOU, the Pink Butterfree from the Anime isn't a shiny? Why not? The G/S/C era Shiny Butterfree is PINK, as seen above. Yet, it changed to the one seen in the R/S/E/FR/LG/C/XD era.

Pink Butterfree in the Anime = Shiny, Joe. The evidence is right in front of you for feck's sake. And even YOU provided evidence for it with your above sentence. Put it up on the god-damned page so people stop making topics about it and admit you were wrong.

 

[Serebii]

The wrong parts are pink my friend. It's not shiny. Look

Yes that Butterfree in the sprite has a Pink Glow to the Wings...but the one in the anime is NOT a Shiny Pokemon..

GSC Shiny Butterfree has Green eyes and a black body. Does this one?

You made yourself look like a moron...not me

 

[Skrusti]

No, I haven't Joe. You are still making yourself look like a moron. See, shiny means alternate colouring on a Pokemon, since the OFFICIAL term for them are "Alternate Coloured Pokemon," not SHINY Pokemon. 'Shiny Pokemon' is a fan term.

Look at it this way Joe. A shiny pokemon is a pokemon that is differently coloured from the standard. If it is not what is classed as the colour for a 'shiny' pokemon (in the dex) it is is still shiny by the definition of the word, since it is coloured differently from a "Normal" Pokemon of that species. Hence why the Butterfree is PINK, and not the same colour as Ash's.

Oh, and in the GB Colour pic, it's not just the wings that have a pink glow The body is glowing a bit pink as well. AND, in that picture you posted, the Butterfree's wings are glowing pink as well.

I don't see WHY you don't just put it up on the shiny page, and make a note saying that YOU don't think it's shiny, but it is indeed an ALTERNATE COLOURED Pokemon, which is what a "Shiny" is. It would end these damned threads, and you still come out looking like you're 'right.' A win-win situation for you if I ever saw one ;/
