This hack for Platinum and HeartGold aims to make it so each individual Pokémon has a slight color variation based on its personality value. This is inspired by a similar feature from the Pokémon Stadium games that does just this but based on the Pokémon's nickname. The ROM hack Pokémon Polished Crystal implements a very similar feature based on IV values. This implementation performs a hue shift on the Pokémon's palette on load.
In addition, some Pokémon have shiny colors that are very close to their non-shiny colors, or at least close enough that the simple hue shift performed by this hack may make a normal Pokémon look shiny. To remedy this, many Pokémon have been given revamped shiny colors. In additon, the opportunity has been taken to revamp Pokémon that seem to have obviously "bad" shiny palettes even if there's no ambiguity issue.

Changed shinies (so far):
Please feel free to use this in your own ROM hacks in whatever way you'd like! If you want to apply this to any existing ROM hack, try patching this mod first. In the case of Renegade Platinum, I made a patch especially for it for convenience.
