 One NPC in Oreburgh City calls these ''differently colored Pokémon''. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 09:49, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
+== Shiny-lock Clarity ==
+Okay, I think the section for Pokémon that can't be shiny needs to be more clear, more detailed, and possibly broken up into sections, a table, or even its own page.
+Look at it this way: Xerneas and Yveltal cannot be found shiny in the wild in X or Y, however they don't make the list because there has been an event for shiny versions of them in Japan. But then someone reading the page might not know about the event, so they're expecting to be able to soft-reset for them. Or they're going to be taken in by a hack because it says it was caught at Team Flare's HQ but there's nothing to say it can't be. As far as anyone reading this page will know - Xerneas and Yveltal can be found in the wild as shiny Pokémon.
+Or to put it more simply: Mewtwo can be obtained as a shiny in FRLG and sent forwards to XYORAS meaning it doesn't make the list, but can the Mewtwo in XY be shiny? I have no idea, because the page doesn't differentiate between the two possibilities.
+It is too vague to be of any use. It needs to be more specific, or it might as well just be removed and replaced with the simple phrase "event and plot-significant Pokémon can't be shiny."
+What I propose is that the section be broken up into "Pokémon That Cannot Be Shiny in the Wild" and "Event Pokémon That Cannot Be Shiny", or that Pokémon that cannot be caught as shinies in each generation but can be transferred up should still be listed but with a footnote explaining that they can be obtained as shinies in past generations.  [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 19:52, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
