Single post in Proposal to Rename Albino and Melanistic Pokemon

Honestly I don't really see the need to rename them since I think it would be be pretty clear that not all of them are going to be white/black...plus most people are still going to call them melans and albinos anyways and introducing another If it had to be changed though... Firstly, I agree with Sneaky Shadow...blessed does have a lot of religious connotations and I think that it should be avoided since not everyone on here is religious/is comfortable with religion. I had a lot of "blessed" items forced on me by my aunts to try and save me from being ace and demiromantic Albino For Albino I like the idea of pearlescent, opalescent, or iridescent as its replacement. All three have connotations of being light colored, but avoid the issues that some people have mentioned with "pastel" and not all albinos being pastel. I also would like to suggest stellerian (from stellar, like stars) since stars are both bright, and come in multiple pale colors aside from just white. Melans I like the names stygian, umbral, or inky. All of them have connotations of being dark or darker, so I think it would be nice. For this one I would like to suggest eclipsian, after eclipses since those shroud the world in darkness, and are also rare.
