Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a [[Generation III Pokémon]] in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be seen, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen by Ash in [[EP001|the first episode]]. Because alternate coloration was not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be an "official" shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and therefore was quite obviously a coloring error. | Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently.

Gym Leader Winona's Swellow was also a shiny Swellow. | |||
In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the main land. For example, a Butterfree would have gold wings with red spots on them instead of just being white. | In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the main land.
