In any other case I'd hate the melan changes to the Shinxel line, but.. I love the melan changes.
I'm a sucker for that cyan/teal-y color and I think it looks really good on them even if I still wouldn't call them 'melanistic'.
for those interested, here's the Concept I made for the Shinxel line ALL The way back before Mega Fluxray's debut. The ears were bigger in the concept, which later was made smaller.
Here's a Doodle I did of Fluxray after making the revamped sprites
Mama Fluxray an her babes
I believe there was a few questions on Early Bird that some people had before? Sorry for not answering. Its rather late, so pardon for not quoting.
Early Bird
The Eyes:
They were made only slightly bit bigger, funnily enough. They were given that in a small way to make them more wide awake and not totally having the distant look it usually has.
The extra feathers and headcrest
This was to make the design a bit more separate from normal Natu line, where its only difference before was that the normal was practically the Shiny, with a worm in its mouth AND it had a completely different shiny. The extra feathers just reminded me of those cute pictures of adding feathers into your bird's head and the headcrest was just add on to define the eye more (which probably makes it look WIDER than it actually is) but just to further make it different. A simple marking. But would you Also believe me that the base green on This Early Bird IS ACTUALLY the normal Natu Line's green? cause it is =w= so ye, its 'dark' but its also not using the Shiny's colour.
Why Weedle!?
I changed it to a Weedle, mainly due to 'no real animals in Pokemon' that has been semi established by the company over the years since season 1. This is also to tie a couple dex entries that Pokemon still attack and eat other Pokemon. When compariing it to the old sprite we're all used to, yeah it can be a bit jarring.
I.. just picked Weedle cause it stands out the most of the larva Pokemon. Could've done Caterpie, for the same shape, But Caterpie blends in cause it's also green. I did try to make Wurmple, but it made me so mad. So there. Weedle. But also, involving sizes, I took into mind about how the Anime and Pokemon Go have different Sizes for Pokemon. While the average height of Weedle is 1' to Natu's 08" average. Pokemon come in various sizes.
As for the colours between the S/A/M, its Shiny for the Albino and melan so that its a bit different than having a normal Weedle throughout. And Let's be Honest, on PFQ, SHinies are common, 2nd to Normals. It wasn't made to matching because They'd be grabbing for the 1st thing, be VERY unlikely that it would be the same variant type. Purrlion was explaind but Cramorant... I honestly had to go look back, Gen 8 has been like walking through thick fog. But The same idea should be the same for Cramorant, where it grabs the 1st thing and Not for the specific colour variant. So >> It'll likely be relooked at at a later time, much with the edits of a couple other Gen 8 Pokemon that I don't believe got updated yet.
again sorry its late but hope this gives a small bit of clarification? at least to some small extent.
