Alternative *shiny* pokemon

Everyone loves shiny pokemon and cosmetically shiny pokemon.

Fact.

I’ve seen pokemon games official and unofficial pokemon games have pokemon that are for all intents and purposes shiny, or shiny adjacent. (without being the real shiny)

Fact.

I’m just throwing ideas for the future. But i think it would be nice if we opened up to the idea (just for discussing) regarding cosmetic shinies in pmu. (i mean outside of the normal shinies).

i’ve seen surfing pikachu (sprited) which is basically just a regular pikachu
or valentines pikachu.

i’ve seen party hat (anniversary) sylveon.

we could also add cosmetic “shadow” pokemon. we could use that for bosses and eventual story type stuff.

obviously how to introduce this and that will be debated heavily. but i think the basic premise that “cosmetically different” pokemon is very cool.

There may be a day we can get gold metagross
or blue dragonite

or a pink meowstic

what do u guys think o:
