Shiny Bulbasaur

Cool, but not great for recognizabilty

Litteraly the same, missed potential

He's jus a green widdle guy :3

Remember seeing my first when my Pokémon X save file got corrupted and I never triggered getting a starter so I got this guy before the game crashed. Good old times.

I was hoping for more of an orange, like an autumn color. I was disappointed.

Literally no change at all

I LOVE BULBASAUR IN GENERAL BUT SHINY WELL THERES SO MUCH GREEEN AND THEY COULD SO SOMTHING TO FIT BULBASAUR BETTER

The shiny is different from the original. It also has colors that match it. And it gets a bonus point because green matches the plant aesthetic.

However, it lacks in coverage as they could’ve done more with its bulb and personal taste. Its also kind of difficult to tell the difference at its thumbnail

Hard to even notice

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

good change but not enough

Recognizability: Fail

Bulbasaur's shiny isn't as poorly distinguished as some others but its coloration is not as immediately noticeably as a shiny should be.

Color balance: Fail

The colors are largely shades of green except for the eyes and mouth.

Aesthetic quality: Fail

The coloration tends to range between a pale lime and a sickly green. It's not the worst offender in Gen 1 but it is certainly not attractive to look at.

Thematic fit: Pass

It's light green. It's a plant. It sort of works.

I love Bulbasaur, but this shiny could've been so much better

I like green

It's not a major colour change, but still pretty good
