I personally wouldn´t mind if Noctowl wasn´t a shiny (if it´s really so hard to make.). Metapod is already doing a great job with the storyline, the details and the design. And who knows how far Metapod plans to countinue the game. Also I think it would be very difficult to add the Jotho-Saga in, since the first editions with Jotho have a worse quality and the newest ones Soulsilver/Heartgold have a better quality when firered.
I also don´t think you could patch ash gray with soulsilver/heartgold/crystal/Gold/Silver since it´s a hack based on firered. But i don´t know anything about hacking, patching etc. so maybe my assumptions are completely wrong =).
