I see, thank you! I was never sure about this.
Vivillon update:
Some peeps on 4chan started to use my Paint drawing (yay ) to update the new Vivillon patterns and see if it's really a country specific thing.
Here's their current findings:

But I'm willing to bet that within the first day of release at least two out of the three starters will have their shiny versions widespread on the internet, and if we are lucky it will be all 3. With all the people starting their adventures the same day, there surely will be a few lucky blokes to get one. And then we didn't even mention those players who will keep soft resetting until they get a shiny starter.
I'm also curious about them and also whether there are any gender differences among them. I think only Greninja is more of less confirmed to have some very minor gender differences but even that isn't 100% confirmed.
edit: Silly question but... I know that our rivals get their starters randomized too... But does this mean that they can also get a female or even a shiny starter?
Nope. Opponent's Pokemon are shiny-locked except for a very few possible mistakes (Gen 3 battle tower) and most if not all of them have a set gender, too. Most of the time the gender matches the trainer, but with us having two female rivals they might mix that up a bit.
