“Shinies are ugly”
Look, Shiny hunters work hard to find their rare, differently-colored Pokémon, and there is no need to diminish their perseverance and accomplishments in collecting the rarities in a game all about collecting things. Sure, large swaths of the shiny Pokémon in these games look much worse than the original, but it’s not about how good they look. It’s about the principle of the matter. Don’t tear them down just because their Pokémon are ugly. They worked really hard to find those uggos.
