It goes like this: they can actually have any coloration, but gamefreak doesn't want to go through the hassle of programming a palette generator that produces results that look right or manually designing a shit ton of extra palettes, so that's why you only see one alternate palette of each pokemon in the main games.
My evidence so far: In super smash bros., each pokemon character can have many alternative palettes. In Pokemon Stadium, the pokemon in the minigames have new colorations as well. Kecleon's official shiny just has a blue band around its belly instead of a red band, even though we have seen in the anime and in the PMD spin-off series a purple-skinned kecleon with green lining rather than yellow lining. Finally, many of the shiny pokemon in GSC look different from their shiny palettes in later generations. This is all off the top of my head, and I bet I could find more evidence if I looked for it.
My first shiny pokemon was a ditto, which I caught in Crystal. Using a random color generator, I generated 16 colors, and then chose one which I would use to redesign my shiny ditto. Pic related is how I have decided to imagine my shiny ditto. I chose this color out of those which were available because it looks like the color of a brand new kneaded eraser, which ditto could resemble. Here is the random color generator if you'd like to do the same with a sprite of your first shiny pokemon: https://www.random.org/colors/hex

A scoop on two super fierce fights in the TV anime series! The white-hit Kalos League! Team Flare finally making a move towards their goals... We're bringing you two amazing scoops on the TV anime series! Ash: Let's make a dash, Pikachu! Super Fierce
Fight 1: At long last, the conclusion of the Kalos League!
Super Fierce Fight 2: Team Flare's plans are revealed!
>ash WON
dont say a word
dont say anything
just
just post yfw
Super Fierce Fight 1: At long last, the conclusion of the Kalos League!! As the passionate battles in the Kalos League continue on, we finally reach the semifinals, and then the finals! How will Ash fight against these two rivals!? SHOTA: A super Trainer who's both Ash's equal and who looks up to him! When Shota first met Ash he was still a rookie Trainer. Admiring Ash's unconventional battle style, he has honed his own skills since then. And by their previous battle, he had acquired enough skill to even win against Ash. And at the grand Kalos League itself, he brings out his absolute best!! Mega Sceptile: Shota has raised Sceptile since it was a Treecko. Thanks to the power of Mega Evolution, it fights on a level equal to even Ash Greninja! Slaking: A Pokémon serving as a counter to Ash's Hawlucha. What is Shota's plan...? Salamence: Taking advantage of its speed, Salamence can attack from the sky. It's a really tough opponent to face! "I want to surpass him... I want to win against Ash and surpass him!!"
ALAN: A Mega Evolution Trainer that constantly searches for formidable opponents Alan has traveled the world for the sole purpose of fighting strong opponents. When he met Ash, he was captivated by his enjoyment of battling and resolved to participate in the Kalos League, Ash being his target there. He has now been winning his way through the league with his overwhelming strength. But just when will the match against Ash that he's looking so forward to come...? Mega Charizard X: In both their two previous battles, this has been the rival that has prevented Ash and Greninja's victory. It is Alan's partner and the two of them are always together. Weavile: It is, of course, extremely quick, but its moves, like "Double Team" and "Night Slash", are also very powerful! Tyranitar: In addition to being strong, it also uses its Ability "Sand Stream" to give itself further advantages in battle. "I have to be the strongest! I will no longer lose to anyone!!"

Name a better gym.
Protip: Youreally, really can't.
>>27205061
That gym was tedious to walk through, though. I personally liked Burgh's gym from bw2, though I can't really think of many others off the top of my head.
>>27205061
I tried to think of a good gym puzzle for a rebuttal but then I realized all of them are terrible.

>Nope, only trash here!
Alright, which one of you did this?

Looking through the Johto Pokedex it makes me really how many Johto Pokemon sucked. Some were waved by new DP evolutions like Mamoswine and Gliscor, but others were just terrible.
The only really good Johto pokemon were Tyranitar, Houndoom, Scizor, Steelix, Ampharmos, the legendaries (Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Lugia and Ho-oh), and Typlosion. Some others were alright, but the rest were shit.
