This creates a new rarer more valuable variant of shiny, which mostly new players, or people who can't afford memberships, will find.
It turns the tables of the economy on its head. Old shinies are suddenly less sought after -- the rich old elites who just log in to show off suddenly won't have everything. Gives people a reason to hunt again. Many people currently only play when they can afford membership, which is usually only during events. This gives EVERYONE something meaningful to hunt for at all times, on an equal playing field.
Also it would mean we can finally include shiny hunting in unofficial tournaments without being unfair to anyone.
People have toyed with the idea of alternate shinies for a while .. this might be one solution.
Thanks to an anonymous puppet for helping come up with this suggestion.
(It could even go further: completely different sprites, random colors, different forms, animated sprites, or different sparkle animation.. etc but I don't want to complicate things).
Edit: See original related suggestion here: https://forum.pokemon-world-online.com/index.php?threads/shiny-colors.38455/
Edit#2: I'm proposing this entirely as a means of stimulating the economy, and helping new players. But only if my better suggestion of adding free memberships as a drop item which can be sold to NPCs like nuggets, and other related suggestions, have been rejected. It's not because I actually want new shinies.
