No matter what the artists do there will probably be people that will be unhappy about the sprites changing just like with the vulpix sprites
I wasn't talking about the sprite work or anything like that, just the name for the colours.
I know its impossible to please everyone, as everyone has different tastes, I for one love black/dark blue Melans and gold/cream with pink highlight albinos. But I'm not a huge fan of brown ones. But highlighter purple melan gible just doesn't fit the word melanistic anymore.
Lots of people love the new albinos and thats cool, some people like the melans, but most people think melan = black and albino = white/pink based on the actual terms, I dont think anyone thinks green.
If we called them alternates or [insert a cooler word here] I feel as though not as many people would have mixed feelings.
