Who's gonna have the bravado to check to see what color Mimikyu actually is, he's constantly covered in shadow, you'd need to lift the disguise up, which uh, isn't good
If you don't know the type and the first time you encounter that kind of pokemon with no info (blind playthrough, newbie), you'd probably deduce the pokemon type from the color like blue = water type aside from analyzing on what kind of "thing" is that (fish, plant, bird etc), but that isn't always the case.
You're not thinking right in regards to Duskull. The Pokédex listed them as black because their line is described as "like a black hole." Whatever it spirits away will never return.
Some more strange ones: – Abra: Brown – Bronzor/Bronzong: Green – Deerling (Autumn): Red – Golett/Golurk: Green – Regidrago: Green
From what I can tell, there's often a larger priority on matching the head color. Druddigon is Red and Cresselia is Yellow, despite the rest of their bodies being primarily different colors. Though, this isn't true in many cases.
I think the orange category doesn’t exist because Japan didn’t traditionally have orange as a category. The word they have for orange is borrowed too. Before that orange was either a dark yellow or a red. A lot of cultures/languages were/are like this with orange.
Oh I know what's up with the orange thing. They don't have a word for orange in Japan, lot of languages don't. Orange isn't a concept, so the game is programmed without it in mind, and they didn't bother adding a different search filter category to accommodate a small localization issue.
Saying that Mareep are dirty might actually be right. In real life, all sheep come in three colors; black, brown or white. It's only through exposure to the elements does a sheep turn other colors, like grey or pale yellow because of a buildup of stuff on a white sheep, or grey as a black sheep stands under the sun and the outside layer of its wool is bleached.
The last one the Pokedex KNOWS it is a disguise, but also understands the morbid curiosity of humans. If told the truth they would look under said disguise and die. Either that or the Pokedex doesn't want to hurt Mimikyu's feelings.
As pointed out by @potatospy420, sorting by color is an option in Pokémon home. I genuinely have no clue how I missed that. My sincerest apologies
Also, as mentioned by @mrcombustiblelemon2902, it started out as a search option in the Gen 3 Pokédex.
Im ashamed.
Mimikyu did what he always wanted to do, look like Pikachu
This is a monumental day

The shorts creator is now dead from the horror that is mimikyu.

Fun fact, the switch and mobile version of Pokemon HOME have different colors AND shapes for some of the newer Pokemon!
Bronzor and bronzong have left the chat
Some other wacky ones are Tsareena being purple and Exploud being blue
The color should be what color is dominant in the design imo. Plus give us orange! Or just get rid of this stupid categorization.
"Hang on, let me check"
Famous last words
White or black mareep would be a badass shiny
Here's a weird one:
Bronzong is classified as Green. This is because originally, it's normal and shiny palette's were swapped.
RIP newsteevie…fly high my little angel 😢🕊🖤
I first thought this was gonna be about how some Pokémon have inconsistent official color schemes like Toxicroak or Alolan Raichu
Here let me check AAAA-

JAWSH ORANGE 🫵😮

You realize that if you look at mimicu in one of the poke-dexes , it says it literally kills you
Justice for orange!
It bothers me that regidrago is classified as green.
How?!
It has zero green on it!
It’s a red orb with blue eyes and black/grey dragon head shaped arms. What part of it is green?
Everyone knows that mimiku surreal color is brown because it's Bidoof.
I think the orange category doesn’t exist because Japan didn’t traditionally have orange as a category. The word they have for orange is borrowed too. Before that orange was either a dark yellow or a red. A lot of cultures/languages were/are like this with orange.
And he was never seen again…
"Let me check"
Famous last words before disaster
my favorite purple pokemon, Mantine and the Bounsweet line
It's obviously dark grey and light black, get ir together man
Ill just tell my mimikyu that i accept it for who it really is
Pokémon went back to the 14th century and said "Orange? Nah, thats red-yellow"
Here let me check…
(Screams)

And to this day, he was never seen again
Mikyu is a serpent acording to its shape hinting something

Here let me check that scream blood curdling like I felt that in my soul like someone just died 🫥
I never ever sorted with color. It's completely inaccurate.
jawsh orange jumpscare jesus

I wonder if the orange thing is a culture/language thing. Like how a lot of green things are called blue in japan
Bro died when he looked at mimikyu
Orrr the pokedex knows it's a diguisebut doesn't know it's true colour
Orrr the pokedex knows it's a diguisebut doesn't know it's true colour
Mareep is somewhat acceptable since its a electryfied(something like that) Sheep so the wools getting yellow
But the orange pokemons are messy
Mareep backwards is pee ram-
Mareep is off white 😢
Pokemon 🤝 Paper mario
Rarely recognizing orange as a color
I feel like these are translation errors. Is orange a common color in Japanese?
