So it isn't blindingly obvious that the colours hadn't been decided upon, and that instead they merely said "this is what the legendary will look like, now colour it in". My apologies for not mentioning the issue was in the colouring, I forget the level of intelligence I'm dealing with. It was not a "finished" Ho-Oh.
From what I'm seeing in this thread, it would come as no surprise.
Evidence beyond fan speculation?
