Monochromatic Pokemon have been found in X/Y and have a 1/8192 chance of appearing. Ring a bell? It is possible that Shinies are more common in X/Y because they have been replaced by Monochromatic Pokemon.

CHROMATIC. XY. DIFFERENT RARITIES. HMMMM.

So it's possible that new mechanics have been implemented in the form of chromosomes, because XY wasn't a clue enough. Maybe breeding a monochromatic pokemon will have a chance of passing down chromatids with the monochromatic genes? And Shinies could also have this system, but be less rare. Similar to how real breeding works.

Normal - Nn      Shiny - Ss     Monochromatic - Mm

Normal is most dominant gene, shiny next and monochromatic least dominant.

So each Pokemon has two of them, just like real genes, and passes down one of the two to their child along with the parent and that decides the child's appearance.

Example:


Hmmm?
