bet the neomon publisher won't like if we use their name XD though, i'm not sure it's copyright saved, but i doubt that they really like it either

What about Lucid for Albino? (Lucid is like pure,and lighter colours are considered more pure)And Tainted for Melans?(basically the oppisite of Lucid)

tainted kinda implies that it's evil or bad in some way, I don't think that would work;;

New name = Albino Shunshine Melan = Nebula

Here's my 2 cents on the matter. When it comes down to it, I think Iridescent is a perfect replacement for Albino, when you look up the meaning on google this comes up "showing luminous colours that seem to change when seen from different angles." 'Luminous colours' makes me think of the pale colours found on Albino Pokemon. As for the Melanistic, I feel Obsidian is the way to go. I immediately think of Minecraft, and how difficult it is to find/create/mine the stuff, thereby representing the sheer rarity. AND they both fit with Shiny, when thinking of Iridescent, you imaging it to be sparkly, Obsidian is 'glasslike' therefore sparkly. What do Shiny Pokemon do when you encounter them in the main series? Sparkle.

i like tint or tinted for albinos i propose saturated for melans

With the new Pokemon Snap game that is out, this word (Lumina) could lead people to think they're looking at the luminescently glowing pokemon from New Snap instead of just rare to get through breeding. Pluuus the Lumina effect can be achieved by throwing a special item at Pokemon (Lumina Balls) so people might also assume they need a special item to get them.

i believe "high lighted" for the pastel variants sounds simple and can be easily remembered i think "scored" or "shaded" sound pretty cool for the darker variants.

Albino —> Lumin (like Luminosity) (shortened down ver. Lumes/lumin) Melanistic —> Charristic (like charred etc) (shortened down ver= charrs) These are all I have for now!

I vote Frost for albinos and Nocturne for melans.
