Sprite displays are sort of awkward and bulky

Following #363, and my issue with using “—” for “this female sprite isn’t different”.

imo, we should display all female sprites for Pokémon that differ; pretending female Raichu doesn’t have a backsprite is weird, like female Raichus just don’t show up if they’re on your side of the field.

But there’s a bigger issue here. As Eevee pointed out in #veekun the other day, the huge blocks of sprites are sort of awkward in general.. For example:

half of this big block is shiny sprites, when the shiny recoloring is consistent; if you’ve seen one normal+shiny pair, you can guess what the others look like

I’m too lazy to dig up more than that one line, but we generally agreed that we had no idea what to do about it.

Is there a reason why you can’t just put a note saying “this female sprite isn’t different”?

Also what about using Javascript to toggle between displaying normal sprites and shiny sprites?
