In my fic, the characters really don't give a damn about the protagonist's shiny Glaceon, to them it's a Glaceon nonetheless no matter the color schemeProse fiction is subjective, and I am not the arbiter of "right and wrong" in writing.
Still, my opinion here is that it's about the rest of the execution. Your ptoagonist gets a shiny out of dumb luck - that's fine. Is this the only shiny in the whole fic? Do they get treated as if they're really cool for it, or are people envious and bitter about it, or is it just not considered a big deal because shinies aren't any better than non-shinies really? Do they fawn over the shiny for the shinyness, or not really give a damn? And so on. I hope you can tell what I'm going for here.
It's not really an idea that's relevant to my own writing, since my personal canon just has variants and breeds and subspecies and whatnot and shinyness sort of becomes insignificant.
