I'm loving all the pose variations in the new lines of sprites. It brings back a feeling of life to Pokemon that feels like it's been missing ever since the transition to 3D models. I actually don't mind the green on Diancie's albino and melan, but I understand where everyone's coming from: even with green as my favorite color, I do see how there's been a lot of changes incorporating green. I miss the variety of colors between different species' specials. Though, I will say, I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talk about Hoopa's melan. I'm in LOVE with the Albino palette. One of my favorite things about Hoopa is how it incorporates and twists all these different colors together and it still looks good. The melan being based off the shiny just makes the melan feel like a fossilized Hoopa to me? I love the overall shade chosen for melan Hoopa -- I love a good burgundy -- but I miss the contrast of the hoops being different colors. However, I understand why melan Hoopa is monochromatic, and the palette chosen is just beautiful. I think its face got a little muddied with its Unbound forme as so much of it is that deep dark burgundy; could the face portion above the black nose area be lightened slightly to make it stand out a little more? Aaaanywho, overall, it's a great update! Volcanion's lil boost is just *chefs kiss*
