Single post in Sinnoh sprite revamp

Maybe its time to retire the term albino and melanistic and call them something else, Albinism is the lack of pigment (melanin) and melanistic is an increased amount of black pigmentation. These are the literal definitions. Albino palkia going blue, spiritomb going peach, melan garchomp going from black to brown, cresselia going green these are not 'albinos' or 'melanistics'. Perhaps they should be called alternate shinies (as some people have stated they look like) or something along those lines now that the original terms dont seem relevant anymore. Edit: I mean, this way changing the names means the staff can make the specials whatever colours they like and gives them more freedom without disgruntling some of the userbase.
