Ugh. The backsprite has the pallete of the shiny colours, but ingame it will not, unless the Pokéon is a shiny. That way they don't need four sprites for a Pokémon. Just recolour your backspirte to have the shiny pallete and the frontsprite to have the normal one. The ROM will do the rest of the work. ;P Now, onto the tutorial. You need to do a bit more explaining, and not just short phrases. Try and give the thread a nice layout, not particularily CSS, but perhaps bigger tet for the title, and soe images. Of course, the visuals aren't vital, but people will usually view the thread and exit again becuase it doesn't look nice, even if it is good quality. Just some tips, JJJ (is it okay if I call you that?). Otherwise, quite a nice tut you got thar. :P
