Shinys just arrived [they didnt]

[EDIT:it's been confirmed that this was a visual glitch, that disappeared later]

According to Reversal's twitter, someone found what seems to be the first shiny of the game. Or a cool glitch. Either way, so cool

Very doubtful since Staryu's shiny in the game is a silvery coloured body, the same yellow frame, and a blue gem

Not even in Pokémon Stadium 2, where the colour palettes were different hence the shinies were different, is Staryu coloured in this way

I can trust the deviant-art one since (having caught both Shiny Golbat and Lugia in gen 2 it matches up)

If we've learned anything this week, can it be this: that there are people on the internet that speculate and make shit up for clicks and attention?

also totally possible :D but i must admit that if it's fake, it's very well done

Yea it could be possible that he cheated on the colors settings of his phone or something. That could be an option in my opinion

Sorry, but the guy who made that video, which I couldn't get to load, commented and said that it went away upon restart, so I would just ignore that. Shinies are apparently in the code, but they probably haven't been released.
