Are Johto Starters/Sinnoh Starters/Unova Starters shiny locked in ORAS?
I'm considering soft resetting for them all since I've completed the post game. I'd assume they wouldn't be because the gen 3 starters aren't and they're the main starters of the game, but I'd like some confirmation. Thanks c:

Nope, they're definitely not locked. Professor Birch gave me a Shiny Chikorita in my AS yesterday after 1534 SRs! ^-^
Here's the live video confirming it:

Answer 2
If you want a shiny Johto starter, a better idea would look into using the "masuda method" to breed them. It increases your chances of getting a shiny by a significant amount and you can also control more about the babies, such as nature and IVs.
Answer 3
No they are not shiny locked...I got a shiny cyndaquil from Birch on my first try
Answer 4
There are no evidence of that, as I know only some Legendaries or particular Event Pokemon are shiny locked.
Normal Pokemon obtained in game could be shiny, so you can try softresetting. I don't see any difference with the normal 3rd gen starter.
Answer 5
As far as I've heard, only Rayquaza and Deoxys are shiny locked. But I do know and believe that the starters from Prof Birch are not shiny locked, because I watched a vid on youtube where someone soft reset Mudkip a few times and finally got shiny.
