Talk:Mudkip ☆ (EX Team Rocket Returns 107)

Regarding 'Coloration Mismatch'

On the terminology regarding whether or not this Mudkip is "matching" the 'coloration' of the in-game shiny Mudkip. I don't agree with calling too much attention to it in the first place, because it feeds into an incorrect impression that a 'shiny Pokémon' has to be the same color as the 'shiny sprite' in the mainline games to be the "correct" shiny, but I know it's going to come up anyways since it's a point of interest in this card. The current version of the page which states "This card features a Shiny Mudkip; however, its coloration differs from the coloration of Shiny Mudkip in the video games." follows my editing out of "Curiously enough, the tail fin and lower body of the Pokémon are correctly colored after its usual Shiny form." and then being edited back in, I'd suggest the current page as a compromise could be acceptable to both sides, if only because of the reason I suggested in my edit – whether the colors of the limbs in the artwork really *do* "match" the respective color of the sprite is up for debate. --INTERNETFRIEND (talk) 01:08, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Ah! I'm glad to have been corrected by the admins. This isn't a Shiny Pokémon at all!
