Single post in Sprite Discovery Discussion

I'm on mobile so typing is hard but I have a few things I wanted to note. Vivillon is the 3rd most common Melanistic Pokemon ON SITE. With the first two on site being ones which are hunted for DP and not for their melanistic colouring... Which makes me feel really mixed about this. Essentially the most hunted melan on this website for the melans to be kept and not DP'd like the first two is changed, and most people find it un-interesting now. I feel like that is a major thing, no? I think this is one of the most obvious points of why the consistancy rule is not as good as it has been made up to be. I understand consistancy can help the flow of things and keep things not getting too out of order, but it drains out so many awesome concepts of ever existing. Being bound into a rule feels like it has really turned a few Pokemon for the worse... I knew Vivillon would eventually lose what made it so enjoyable to me on this site. I did NOT collect all the Vivillons in Pokemons official games, I DID collect every Vivillon pattern in PFQ. I have every Normal, Shiny, Albino and Melan pattern able to be seen in my fields, because they were made interesting to me here on PFQ with their Albinos and Melans, and now they are just as official Pokemon... Something I normally wouldnt notice. I respect the artists for doing what they do, I just wish the rule of "consistency" was not so strict because I would have loved to see the beautiful butterfly get some love with a glow up on its pretty wings, since that was so appealing to me and it felt like a real loss when the official games didnt do it that way, and now it unfortunately feels like a loss all over again. (Just a side note: this is all to do with the colouring, I have no comment with the sprite-work myself.)
