FireRed hack: Pokemon SparklingRed: FireRed Rehaul with Over 350 Custom Shinies - Sixth Gym Out Now!

[Hangry]

--- Welcome to Pokemon SparklingRed Edition! (v0.4 Now Available!) ---

Pokemon SparklingRed is an in-progress ROM for Pokemon FireRed with an emphasis on shiny Pokemon.

With over 350 custom shinies, and drastically raised shiny odds (1/8 chance), your Pokemon adventure is guaranteed to be filled with shiny Pokemon.
The ROM features a light overhaul of the Kanto region. It will be a refreshing experience for anyone who has already played Pokemon FireRed, or perfect for anyone playing FireRed for the first time. The ROM includes all content available in the base game, and additional features and adjustments for you to find along your journey. It has a slightly increased difficulty level compared to the base game, with some adjustments made to Pokemon trainer's teams and level curves.

--- New Features ---​

• Over 350 new shiny Pokemon for the Pokemon originally found in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions.​
• Every (non-legendary) Pokemon from the generation 3 national dex obtainable before the Elite Four.​
• Increased shiny odds (1/8 chance) to allow the discovery of many new shinies on your journey.​
• All trade and friendship evolutions were replaced with other criteria.​
• EXP grinding areas in each gym town to reduce tedious leveling.​
• Reworked Pokemarts to sell many more items such as evolution items and more.​
• Post-game content featuring encounters with every legendary and mythical Pokemon from Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn.​
• All new Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and their teams with double battling.​
• A brand new reoccurring rival who uses non-Kantonian Pokemon.​
• The rework of many routes, trainers, and Pokemon encounters across the entire region.​
• The ability to obtain multiple starter Pokemon throughout the game (at a rare encounter chance).​
• Improved level balancing and level scaling throughout the game.​
• Zero shiny locks for any Pokemon.*​
• New subareas and route reworks that feature Pokemon not originally found before post-game FireRed.​
• A rework of many TMs and HMs to be compatible with more Pokemon.​

• And many more additional features for you to discover.
  

  
  

  *The only Pokemon that are shiny-locked are trade Pokemon. All other wild, static, and gift Pokemon (such as your starter, the $500 Magikarp, etc.) are obtainable as shiny.​

I really dig the reworks you've done with the shiny forms. I thought I'd ask, are there new story elements added? Thank you!

Hi, sorry for the late reply. As far as the story goes it will remain mostly the same. The gym leaders, e4, and champion will be different from what they originally were, but it will still have the same feel and story progression as FireRed.

Hello all. I want to thank the many people who have checked out this ROM so far! Version 0.3 is out now and has content up to Gym 4 and Lavender Tower.

As of now, you can find 209 custom shinies! Can you find them all?
