I think Spoink and Grumpig have their black pearls because black pearls are seen as incredibly rare (dispite just being the type of pearl produced by black lipped clams) and black is the color associated with dark magic thus making spoink and grumpig with black pearls rare and powerful dark forces.

yo buddy. i think plusle and minun's colors are based on a magnet. at least, on the magnet i own the positive end is painted red and the negative end is painted blue

[@MxPokirby]

"There's no reason for Plusle's and Minun's original colors" Aren't they blue and red because those are commonly the colors of the positive and negative ends of magnets?

Also "Azurill is green now. It really has no reason to be blue in the first place beside it being water type, I guess" Azurill was normal type in gen 3 though and is now normal/fairy 🤔

[@TheDerpyDunsparce]

@@choccymilkking Yes

@@choccymilkking Yah, but I think the inspiration for it stayed the same... same colors as well...

[@TheDeathmail]

I'm sure that many people who worked on the spirtes might not have known that Azurill wasn't water or might have forgotten. And even then, while it's type isn't water, design wise, it'd be counted as one...

[@PansyPops]

I’ve never got why Azurill is a normal (or normal fairy in later gens) instead of a water type. Also, Mega Gardevoir somewhat looks like it’s wearing a wedding dress, and Mega Shiny Gardevior wears a black dress to reference a funeral dress to contrast this. Swan Lake, though I’ve never seen it or even heard of it, could be another possible inspiration (I say another because most Pokemon have multiple inspirations).

[@ElodieCunningham]

Oh! Also! Interestingly, castform's forms didn't have a shiny until literally a couple months back when they were added in Pokémon home, so they were probably designed in 3d like the other newer shinies

It might be worth nothing, but I did notice a small detail with Plusle and Minun. Gen 3 introduced both Plusle and Minun, as well as natures. Natures will increase one stat, and decrease one stat (sometimes the same stat, hence neutral natures). Well, in later generations, if a stat was boosted by nature, it was red, like Plusle (the plus Pokemon). If a stat was lowered by nature, it was blue, like Minun (the minus Pokemon). I question whether or not there's some greater significance to this, or if it's just coincidence.

Their colors are Red and Blue because those colors are commonly associated with + and -, positive and negative, one end of a magnet and the other end of the magnet. The nature colors are the same as them for the same reasons

[@mipho5899]

When red vs blue appear together on a single pokemon or in pairings as an opposing/complimentary element, they seem to always turn yellow vs green. Except in Minun and Plusle because the yellow was already present, so the red lingers in that instance. It reminds me very much of the color scheme in Korean temples, and also references the original Pokemon games and starters. Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow.

True Fact: The reason why most of the water types are pink is because of sunburn, Wailord and Wailmer being based on the Blue Whale actually has light skin which is tanned during their summer sojourns before migrating back to their northern feeding grounds. The Spheal line mainly because walrus spend most of their lives out in the sun. For Sharpedo, sharks have tan lines as to why sharks evolved the ability to tan. To other fish, sunburns can cause skin cancer which could mean why Sharpedo doesn't have it's other half.

Interesting observation about Deoxys’ shiny colours: DNA is made up of combinations of four distinct chemicals called nucleobases. The four nucleobases are Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Adenine. In many diagrams and illustrations, the four nucleobases are each given a colour to identify them. Though which particular colour is associated with which nucleobase can vary, the colours used are almost always the same - red, blue, green, and yellow. Normal Deoxys is red and blue, to match two of the nucleobases, and shiny Deoxys is yellow and green to match the other two!
