Shiny Charmander

Dude's so pale he'll get a sunburn from his own tail.

Low-key love this guy

not giving me enough. there was potential here. kind of wish the whole line had the shiny charizard color scheme

Not amazing, but not terrible. The added contrast between the body & tail flame is nice. However, I feel the belly color is a little too close to the main body color. I think a change in eye color could really elevate this shiny. Overall, I'd say it's about as good (perhaps slightly worse) than the original.

small change

don't like it

2.5 its a meh shiny

Noticeable, but... not great color choice.

I don’t like the shinies that just become piss-colored. Charizard is way better.

classic, but that

I don't know. Maybe like...2/5? I don't prefer this. He looks a lot different from his flame, and I feel like they could've done something cool with this, or at least the flame. Maybe make it blue, like soul fire? It would've been a bit better then. I've gone into an editing software, and the blue fire actually makes this look kinda cool.

Classic Gen 1 shiny.

good change but not enough

Recognizability: Pass

The shade is just different enough to be distinguishable.

Color balance: Fail

Not good. It's all a mix of yellow for the most part.

Aesthetic quality: Fail

It's a pale sickly yellow which might work for someone into alchemy (it is a salamander) but otherwise it's kind of terrible.

Improvement over original: Fail

Nope. The original design remains attractive looking and iconic.
