Shiny Coloration Changes

This is a sub-page of Development:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Sprites/Previous Generation Pokemon.

Most of the first 386 Pokemon had a revision done to their shiny palette after it was introduced in the CVS repository, although very few would qualify as a drastic change. Sadly, no Sinnoh Pokemon had a revision at all; they were all finalized from the get-go. The first shiny palette added for each Pokemon was done in the 1.5 revision, and was later finalized in the 1.7 revision. Prior to the 1.5 revision, the shiny palette would usually be a leftover of an earlier version of the normal palette, as the shiny palette file commonly wasn't updated along with the normal palette file.
