Well yeah, I used the 3DS version's colors.Shouldn't his top fin, lips, and tail be a little orange? And also his white skin should have a vanilla type color.
I don't mind the new colors. In general, I don't mind changes that don't take away from the original design. A white belly instead of a cream colored one doesn't take away from it. But replacing the puffing up with just spikes on his head does take away from it.
