Aw man, shinies are busted? That sucks. I like the Torchic-line's shiny colors. Ah well, if I want to shiny hunt so bad I can always boot up some Moemon Star Emerald. It's not porn, but it's got cute designs. Hopefully dev learns how to shiny palette, considering rates are higher according to other users...
EDIT: After playing for a bit, it seems like some other graphical issues are present as well. For one, palettes on some things seem to be incorrect due to a glitch; the Bag is most notable, as the dots for the pages are invisible at first, but then appear white as you scroll through them. There's also a white screen-flashing glitch that seems to appear when doing certain actions, actions which happen to be common in a Pokemon game and therefore cause the glitch to appear very often. I have no idea if this is just due to the ROM that was pre-packed (maybe the patched ROM was just unclean) or if it's an issue with the patch itself. It could also be whatever hack was put in the patch to add things like the EV-IV and the change to the PC graphics. Never seen these before...
