Shiny sprites in the wrong gen ?

Question

When going on to the site then clicking see all _____(any gen 9 Pokemon) sprites ti shows the shiny sprites under gen 8 when these Pokemon did not exist in gen 8. So is this intended or a mistake? And if intended, why?

Are you talking about one of these pages? If so, they are under generation 8 because Pokemon Home was technically introduced in Generation 8. This isn't just a Gen 9 thing, Home has sprites for Pokemon across the generations.

Answer 1

If it's the Pokemon Home or Pokemon Go sprites, they are shown under the generations in which those apps were released (gen 8 for Home, gen 6 for Go). I get it's a bit confusing, I think I should move them to their own section.
