hey dont you think we should have a page like this but for their shiny color? i think that would be helpful but i wouldnt know how it would look and im sure it would be hard[[User:Happizelpom|Happizelpom]] 09:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)Happizelpom
:That would be a good idea but hard to pull off.  This page is based on game data which doesn't exist for the shiny forms. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] <sup>|[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]|</sup> 13:59, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

just make it like:

purple:
wurmple
magcargo
etc.

does that work?[[User:Happizelpom|Happizelpom]] 19:07, 25 June 2008 (UTC)Happizelpom

:The problem is that the Pokédex (which is where you can do a search by color) does not recognize alternate coloration, so there would most likely be arguments over which color the shiny Pokémon are.  Plus, there are no shiny versions of the small sprites used in the table.  ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|<font color="midnightblue" face="comic sans ms">'''$aturn'''</font>]][[User:SaturnYoshi|<font color="green" face="comic sans ms">'''¥oshi'''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:SaturnYoshi|<font color="maroon">THE VOICES</font>]]</sup> 19:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Placement ==

If Munchlax is literaly blue, why is it under black?
And why are Mareep and Dialga in white if Mareep is yellow, and Dialga is blue and silver? [[User:GuyNamedSean|GuyNamedSean]] 18:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

:Because it's how the in-game coding lists them.  Trust me, there are a few other entries that make little sense; [[User:Golbat|someone]] actually got blocked for edit warring just because they kept changing Golbat's in-game coding-based color field in the infobox to read "blue" based on its appearance (Golbat is listed as purple), even claiming they wouldn't let anyone--even [[Special:Listusers/sysop|sysops]]--replace his "correct edits" (the false blue listing) with "false ones" (the correct purple listing based on the coding).  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

=== List of Pink Pokémon that do NOT apply ===
Hmm . . . Half of these are yellow? *sigh* not notable really.
*Corsola (Yellow)

*Lickilicky (Yellow)
*Luvdisc (Yellow)
*Mew (Blue)
*Milotic (Several Colors)
*Miltank (Blue)
*Slowbro (Purple)

=== List of Pink Pokémon that SEEM to apply ===
These, people would most likely argue about whether they apply or not.
*Porygon
**It's shiny form is very light pink in color and it's also just as much blue.
*Skitty
**It's shiny is actually very close between Hot Pink and Red.
*Snubbull
**Snubbull has pink in it's shiny but it's only in the form of small pink dots.
----
Sorry that this is a bit of a lengthy comment. But all I ask for is a short simple trivia note saying:

*Many of the Pink Pokémon strangely have rather Green or a different shade of Pink in it's sprite.

Essentially all I'm asking for is if this is notable enough. --[[User:Landfish7| <font color="red">Land</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Broadway"><small><font color="blue">fish</font></small></span>]]<font color="purple"><sup>7</sup></font> 21:57, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

== Red looks too pink ==

Why was the color for the Red color category changed to a pinkish color?  The orangeish-red color was appropriate for the Red category as many Red-category Pokémon are actually colored orange. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 17:11, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

== Wow ==
Thank you to whoever changed the colors of the tables.  My eyes do not hurt anymore.  Thank you very much.

== Those colored section headings... ==

I feel that the colored fonts used on the section headings are garish and unnecessary (especially given the neatly-colored tables).  However, glancing through the history, it would appear that they've been there [[Special:Permalink/49057|since the very beginning]] 7 years ago (note this was prior to the colored tables), and I could find no indication that they've ever been challenged or discussed.

So I ask to be certain:  Does anybody object to their removal? [[User:ExpHP|ExpHP]] ([[User talk:ExpHP|talk]]) 18:03, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

:Yellow's was absolutely horrible. Some of the rest also had some claim to being annoying, but they weren't outright assaulting your eyes. Yellow could possibly have been "fixed", but they indeed aren't necessary. The big ol' tables represent the colors just fine (and after a fashion better, on their own).

== Megas and Other Notable Forms ==

Should we add Megas? Mega Charizard X is Black so it's different than Charizard. I tried adding Mega Venusaur but it was too hard. So if maybe you could add the megas and such!

:Please read the first sentence of this article very carefully. This page is about ''what the Pokedex recognizes''.

== Alolan Pokedex Color Sorting ==

So I'm noticing something interesting about how the new pokedex in Sun and Moon handles the sorting by color of pokemon, in particular Alolan forms vs. original forms. As an example, I have caught an Alolan Rattata, and have seen a regular Rattata in battle. When sorting by the color black, Alolan Rattata shows up, and when the entry is selected, it notes that this is an Alolan form. When sorting by purple, an unshadowed (i.e. "caught") entry is brought up for regular ol' Rattata, with what I can remember an identical text entry (could be wrong on this point, but nonetheless an entry still showed up). Does this have any impact as to how this list should or shouldn't be sorted, and possibly how the main Pokemon pages on this site list the colors of the Pokemon effected?

''Note: I'm not very far into Pokemon Sun/Moon, so progressing further and getting more Pokedex entries (other pokemon with Alolan forms, as well as pokemon like Lycanroc, Oricorio, and Gastrodon come to mind as good entries to crosscheck) might shed some more light on this subject, but for now I'm still very curious.''

Edit: I just saw in the history next to the latest update the note  "(Doesn't include any form info; that'll need to be added.)" This might address what I'm talking about

== Trivia ==

So I counted how many Pokémon are in each group, with multiple forms only being counted as one. I feel that this list, or at least the most/least common, could be added to a trivia section.
* Blue - 169
* Brown - 138
* Green - 112
* Purple - 91
* Grey - 88
* White - 86
* Yellow - 79
* Red - 64
* Pink - 58
* Black - 47

== G-Max colours? ==

I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] {{p|Urshifu}} were indeed listed as being the same colour as regular Urshifu. But is that something we know? Not sure the grey section says "All forms" for it because we know G-Max Urshifu to be grey as well, or because we don't know what colour it is. (Species with only G-Max forms don't make any mention of alternate forms in the table, so...)

[[User:Pichugetic|Pichugetic]] ([[User talk:Pichugetic|talk]]) 18:40, 6 March 2022 (UTC)


According to the Pokémon Home Pokédex, both [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] {{p|Urshifu}} forms are the same color as the non [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] forms. It seems that almost every Pokémon's [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] form is the same color except {{P|Alcremie}} which, as shown in the changes section, was white and is now yellow. Since every {{P|Alcremie}} flavor uses the same [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] form, some {{P|Alcremie}} change their color when they change forms. I believe it would be best to include that information in the page as a fun fact or another section. Something like: "Every [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] Pokémon shares its base form's color except for [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] {{P|Alcremie}}, which is yellow." This information would reduce confusion around the [[Gigantamax|G-Max]] forms, considering how some Pokémon look drastically different from their original like {{P|Urshifu}}.

== What happened to all the Pokémon and regional forms introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus? ==

Um, excuse me, guys. There haven't been any Legends: Arceus-introduced Pokémon and regional forms included on this list here. So, I wonder what has happened to them?
[[User:Swampertguy|Swampertguy]] ([[User talk:Swampertguy|talk]]) 22:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

== Miraidon and Koraidon's other forms ==

Each of Miraidon's modes and Koraidon's builds are considered forms in the Pokedex and on their respective pages, so should we add the "all forms" or "normal" underneath them? Such as how Mimikyu has the "all forms" tag because it has both '''Disguised Form''' and '''Busted Form''' and they are both yellow. 
Though I suppose we couldn't use "all forms" since we cannot confirm the color of the extra forms in Pokemon Home like we can for the regular forms, so I guess I answered my own question... 
Although maybe we should add '''Ultimate Mode'''/'''Apex Build''' under each respectively since that's the form they are called in the S/V and Home Pokedex's. --[[User:Venn|Venn]] ([[User talk:Venn|talk]]) 10:09, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
