Talk:Crystal Onix

Alternate Coloration

Since it seems like it's been debated, rather than reverting an edit I'd prefer it discussed here. Since being made of crystal isn't the official alternate colour of Onix, I don't think it should be listed. Also, alternate coloration was not officially introduced yet (Gold/Silver wasn't released, and the concept wasn't formally introduced into the anime until EP154. Could a compromise be made by putting a link in the 'see also' section? ←{Berrymaster|Talk|Contrib}→ 01:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

You make a good point, but I accept the revert--KukiTalk 01:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget that a crystal Onix is alternate materialization--KukiTalk 01:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Well we say the Pink Butterfree is an alternate colored Pokémon, matter of fact the first to appear in the anime, yet it's not what the shiny version looks like. And that was way before the Crystal Onix. The meaning of alternate coloration doesn't mean it's "Shiny". It just simply means it's a different color then the norm of its species. --ケンジのガール 01:34, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

The Pink Butterfree appeared in the anime before Shiny Pokémon had even been invented, and they just made the Butterfree pink to show that it was female. Still, I think it should still be on the list of Shiny Pokémon. But maybe the Crystal Onix should be in a sub-category called "Other Special Pokémon" or something like that.
