Ok so because people want shinies I am going to give more shinies, except I am not going to make them... YOU ARE! Don't worry I can teach you every step of the way how to make shinies for PS!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This method won't work for every Pokemon, some just won't be happening because the regular to shiny switch doesn't match colour to colour (Charizard), don't you dare request I make them, if you want them you gotta make them yourself. But now you can!!!
First you need:
1. Photoshop: Well not really, you can get a trial version for 30 days ( https://creative.adobe.com/products/photoshop ) but if you absolutely cannot use Photoshop you can only make shinies for Pokemon that already are fixed as you can see on our chart.
2, Aseprite: An animation and pixel editor, very useful, also free. Download it here: http://www.aseprite.org/
3. The unmodified animations here www.pkparaiso.com/xy/sprites_pokemon.php or the already fixed ones on our chart here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...NGLTV6N3paNEdoeXctY2w1TlE&usp=drive_web#gid=0
4. Imgur or another image uploader
If you don't/can't use Photoshop but would like to make certain mons shiny, start by doing at least one that is fixed on the chart, and then you can ask me to prep whatever pokemon you want on Photoshop for you. These are the only requests I'll allow in this thread, so first you gotta scratch my back before I scratch yours! If you can't use Photoshop AND for some reason you can't use aseprite sorry you're out of luck.
In the event the Pokemon you want just can't be properly made shiny, post here still and if you want show the attempted result so nobody else has to waste their time doing it as well. ALSO I want both regular and megas done for the mega mons.
I might add some more to this soon, we shall see. Ask me any questions and I'll update this as well. Post your results here, and so long are you aren't colour blind I will add them to Pokemon Showdown!

Check the chart in the first post for the mon you want to make shiny, if both entries are not fixed then you need to use Photoshop to do a proper colour reduce.
Go to: www.pkparaiso.com/xy/sprites_pokemon.php and find the front and back of the Pokemon you want, save them onto your computer. Then open them up in Photoshop.
Now here you can zoom in and reduce the colours. Make sure you're under GIF, then you may want to choose between Perceptual, Selective, and Adaptive (never Restrictive). Press play at the bottom right and see how they run. Make sure you restrict the colours to 16. For the most part this is all you'd need to do, but you can also remove colours, and go to higher colour amounts (32 or 128) and lock certain colours in so they don't get cut when you reduce again to 16. Make sure Dither is set to 0% along with Web Snap and Lossy, those aren't helpful.
Anyways just save that as the new version of the image, put that somewhere where you won't mix it up with the original rip. Make sure to upload this new fixed version so we can add it to PS too.

Now with the fixed animation you just made in Photoshop/grabbed from Pokemon Showdown you'll probably also need the shiny alternative. I tend to just grab the rips on the serebii dex: http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/
The quality of some Serebii rips is really bad but the colours are close enough. Save the shiny you want on your computer so that you can open it.
Download and run Aseprite, open the fixed front, fixed back, and the serebii rip.
Now for your Serebii sample you'll need to change one key feature, with the serebii rip open go to the toolbar at the top and click Sprite > Color Mode > Indexed (No Dithering)
Now on the right toolbar go click the eraser and chose the eyedropper instead. Then near the top left of the screen above all the squares of colour click the Edit Palette button. The edit palette window is your friend use it wisely.
Here is the part where you have a bit of artistic freedom. Zoom in with the mouse wheel and compare the Serebii shiny rip with the animated front, grab an appropriate colour from the shiny, click Copy on the palette editor, then go to the animated sprite. Find the appropriate colour with the eyedropper again and click Paste on the palette editor to replace the corresponding colour. Now go to the back and using some artistic liberty replace the corresponding colour.
Now keep doing this and you'll probably have a good front, sometimes the backs have more or different colours. You'll have to wing it in the Palette Editor. Use the RGB or HSB mode and play with the sliders to find a good replacement colour that is about the same as it was originally. This takes a bit more trial and error. HSB option is your friend, use it well.
Once they are done and look fine SAVE AS and upload everything you touched so I can add it to PS.

Shiny :3
They look really good but gyarados and umbreon are a little light on their front models
Good stuff Nicoxl except I probably should have mentioned that anything with megas should also be made shiny, something sadly tells me it might be a bit more difficult to make Gyarados Mega shiny.
I'll gladly take the others though, but could you pass me the regular versions you fixed as well so I can add them all?

layell can anyone submit shiny models?
cool I'll get to work, by the way do you have a list of completed shiny pokes so I know what not to do?
Check the chart on the first post Paynes it's here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...NGLTV6N3paNEdoeXctY2w1TlE&usp=drive_web#gid=0
I've kept that relatively up to date, you should find it very helpful!

I did a color reduce on the original Murkrow models from PkParaiso, then made the the fabulous shiny
I just wanna use PinkKrow before it's banned from LC ;_; and I think I'll take a stab at doing Honchkrow later!

Ok, so I attempted shinifying a Pokemon that probably no one else cares about but me (I use it a lot in RU u.u)
here is my shiny animated version vs. serebii :]
This was my first attempt and yeah... I can't fix the eyes, I kept trying to no avail, so any help would be appreciated!
Also, I'll begin work on the back if anyone would be so kind as to do the magic Photoshop step (I ran out of the trial yesterday fml), thanks :]

Chesnaught that seems to be how the regular looks too, so I feel it's fine. Colour reduction is a magical sort of thing.
here is the back if you need it

Oh thanks! I'll begin working on it now :]
EDIT:
Umm, there's no Shiny Back of Vigoroth I can find, so I don't know how to do the stripes, they don't seem very different though:
EDIT#2;
Here's a rough draft of the back, still need to fix the feet and claws, maybe the stripes too :]

And here's Honchkrow!
The backsprite was a real pain because I couldn't find a color reduction that didn't make it flash every other frame... so I ended up doing it manually <_> I may have to touch up the back of the head sometime, but other than that I think it looks okay.

ok we cannot use ezgif.
The colour reduction is one that reduces to 16 colours individually per frame rather than across the entire gif. Which was the same problem the first round of gif colour reduction was that prompted model fixes in the first place.
here you go
Ok thanks, I realized that too, ezgif a shit u.u
Also, where do you find these?
EDIT;
I present - Mesprit Shiny
