All Shinies should sparkle, nonetheless.

Answer 1

Shinies always sparkle, that's where the name 'shiny' came from. As I understand it, 'shiny' is actually a fan made label.

If I remember correctly "Shiny" started as a fan name but eventual became official. That might just be a rumour though.

It may be official now, I don't know, but yes, as I understand it, 'shiny' started as a fan term.

According to Bulbapedia, "shiny" was originally a fan term, and it became official in Generation 5.

What were Shinies originally called before Gen 5?

---

The in-game characters almost never mentioned them. I think sometimes shiny Pokemon were called differently colored Pokemon.

Shiny Pokémon were called Color Pokémon until the fan name stuck.
