vs - a (sadly) common case of a pokemon getting a new green revamp. i don't like this specific shade of green, which seems to be incredibly common in new melans, which kind of sucks to see vs - this in particular is SUPER disappointing to me. i was insanely upset and disappointed when i saw the change made to leafeon, and specifically its melan. the old melan was absolutely beautiful, and the dark body paired with the purple and red highlights (though the "highlights" were still pretty dark, too) was so, so pretty. the new one is just does not look good at all in my opinion vs - these ones are super similar, and i still really like melan cyndaquil. i just wanted to add this one to show that the "highlights" i think a lot of people liked on melanistics don't have to be bright or neon. the original melan cyndaquil had darker highlights than the new one, and i know that cyndaquil was a pretty beloved melan vs - another case of me really liking a dark grey melan with purple highlights :) but i still feel like the dark red-brown on the snivy line looks super out of place vs - i was really super disappointed with the snivy line, too. i feel like it just doesn't look right and isn't appealing at all. the purple is nice, and i like the red-brown as a colour, but i do not like either of those colours on the snivy line at all vs - the entire oshawott line was also so disappointing because i had really wanted to hunt oshawott. the new melan is Once Again green and it genuinely just doesn't look good at all to me. it feels swampy and i really do not like that shade of green that is Way too common now. i LOVED the old melan - the light blue was super beautiful and looked really good, and i felt like it just fit more, given how dewott is a water type vs - the albino was also really saddening to see. the old albino was pretty much a default albino imo LMAO, incredibly white and pale with red eyes, pink undertones. it was super super pretty and i really loved how the entire oshawott line looked. the new one is just a unappealing yellowy-green and it generally looks nothing like how i personally would imagine an albino vs - honestly i could put all of the elemental monkeys here, but panpour is specific is pretty upsetting. i've confused the new melan for melan pansage like a million times, and i think that, again, this specific shade of green just generally Does Not Look Good. the old melans were super cute even if they were a little bland. i really loved the theme that they followed, with each elemental monkey having their "type colour" as their ear colour. i thought it was super distinctive and a good idea, and i'm disappointed that that didn't stay the same vs - i like the new melan gigalith, though definitely not as much as i liked the old one. i like this shade of green more than the muddy swamp green, and i also like the dark cyan/teal body. i prefer the old one by a lot, i really loved the golden crystals and blue in the eyes, but the new one is still pretty eye catching, and i think is an example i'd use for what other shades of green i'd like to see vs - i think that this purple is also becoming more and more common over the years, and i wish that it wasn't. seismitoad still looks fine and i'm not that upset with the new melan, but compared to the old one, it just doesn't hold a candle to it vs - i think that both of these melans are SO pretty. i LOVE the shades of purple used for the new melan torterra and would love to see those more often. i also was really happy to see that the purple was paired with dark blues and greys instead of green, which i generally think looks pretty horrible. i'll absolutely miss the old melan, i really loved how it looked autumnal and i thought the orange contrast was super appealing, but the new melan is also gorgeous vs - a lot of albinos tend to follow the Toothpaste Colour route, which i think is pretty disappointing. adding an underlying tint to albinos is fine and i think it can definitely look good, but i think that a lot of the time the mint albinos don't look as good as the more Solid White ones used to
