How about that update streak, huh?

The Favorite Pokémon Picker now has an option to include shiny Pokémon as separate Pokémon. This has been a common feature request, mainly stopped by the technical aspect of how doubling the number of Pokémon would be problematic for the shortcodes used in the shareable list links. I have now made a change to the shortcode parsing, so that if xx is a given Pokémon, the shiny version of it is identified by .xx, and added a setting to include them as separate entries.

This is separate from the existing shiny mode, which simply involves displaying every Pokémon as shiny – the old shiny mode is still what you'll want to use if you want to find your favorite shinies, while the new mode is for if you want to be able to pick Charizard and Shiny Charizard independently, sort of as if they were two different Pokémon. Most people will probably not want to turn this on, but I've had enough requests for this over the years to know some people really wanted this.

Once again, let me know if anything's not working as it should!
