since shiny comes from the games, maybe the new names could come from cards? I never really played the card games myself but I know there are like sparkly cards that are worth more
I thought they were called foil but I found an article listing them as holo with even rarer types of cards like reverse holo or rainbow?
if someone who knows more about the cards would know good terms from there I think that could be neat, but I guess im suggesting foil albino and holo melan
(because to me foil sounds kind of light and holo sounds more vivid)
edit im watching a card explanation video and star/starred might work rather than foil? but i do think holo has good potential for an alternative Melan name still
