*slides one (1) shiny dabloon across the booth table* one shiny primarina line review please
Popplio: Popplio's shiny is pretty consistent with the way the rest of the line is handled, and anyone who's been reading these reviews knows I love consistency. I like how the the ruff goes from a turquoise to a higher-contrast peach color, which compliments the pink of the nose nicely.
However, I will say that the body color is a bit too similar to the original, even if the hue has shifted to be less cyan. I would've liked to see the color here shifted more towards purple, which would've still been consistent with Brionne but been more noticeable relative to the original palette. Something like this:
Still, not bad looking overall, even if it's not that noticeable.
Brionne: Brionne has a really really nice shiny. The colors still look very natural, but it's easy to tell the difference between this and the original due to the main aquamarine color switching to a purple and all the lighter cyan accents switching to peach (making it consistent with Popplio). The purple, white, and peach go great together, and I like how the peach compliments the pre-existing pink nose and eye color. Honestly, I like this one better than the original.
Primarina: Keeping up with consistency, Primarina uses the same blue shift Popplio does. That particular color is still a bit low-contrast and I still would've liked to see it purple, but unlike Popplio it's not as big as an issue as the rest of the palette changes more drastically.
Once again, the cyan accents switch to peach to compliment the pinks, but it does something unexpected with the hair—instead of keeping it the same color as Brionne like the original, it instead switches to a blonde/yellow. This works really well; I like how it de-emphasizes the hair in favor of the tail, and the warm yellow compliments the extra peach accents and works well with the blue. Once again, I find myself liking this one better than the original.
