    --- Welcome to Pokemon SparklingRed Edition! ---

    Pokemon SparklingRed is an in-development ROM for Pokemon FireRed with an emphasis on shiny Pokemon.
    Do you like shiny Pokemon? If so, this ROM is perfect for you. With over 300 custom shinies, 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. The ROM also has a moderate difficulty level, with some slightly tougher battles than the base game, but nothing extremely difficult.


    --- Features ---
    • Over 300 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 town to reduce tedious farming.
    • Reworked Pokemarts to sell many more items such as evolution items and more.
    • Post-game content featuring encounters with every legendary and mythical Pokemon.
    • All new gym and elite four leaders and teams.
    • A brand new 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).
    • Better level balance and level scaling throughout the game.
    • ZERO shiny locks for any Pokemon.
    • Gym and Elite Four leaders who use teams of shiny Pokemon.
    • New areas that feature Pokemon not originally found in pre-e4 FireRed.
    • A rework of many TMs and HMs to be compatible with more Pokemon.
    • And many more additional features for you to discover.
