@twinkiepie Unrelated. God bless your profile pic. I hope she gets added in SF6.

@jojobear13 , I'm here because I'm trying some stuff in the pret/pokered repo and I'm investigating how I can get my hands on the shiny pokemon logic to include it in my "mod" or "hack". I tried patching a ROM with the GBC patch and the minimal shiny indicator patch but they conflict (probably a noob mistake). So I'm trying to do that myself. Is the shiny logic somewhere in the shin repo that you can point out so I can include it in my pret/pokered clone?

Edit: meant to mention twinkiepie on my first comment there lol

All the core functions for shiny display are in here, but they do hook into lots of other places in the code. Should not be too hard to do if you just want an indicator on the hud.

Got it, thank you very much for the response! I was able to enable GBC mode and get the color palettes working in the most minimal way possible but the animations we're not playing properly lol, so I took a break. I might do this though, I suffered a lot (never have coded in ASM, just C++, C#, JS) but it was kinda fun when I understood how to loop through the high memory to update the palettes.

If I ever complete something, I'll contact you or anyone on the community to properly share my "custom version" and code!
 
I've been playing shin red for over a month or so now and I've been having a great time! And I LOVE the Mist Stone. It's so nice to actually have a means to boost pokemon stats that doesn't require glitching the game to hell and back to do it. If I ever have anyone interested in checking out older pokemon games, or just pokemon in general, these are the games I'd introduce them to! Thank you SO much for making this!

TL;DR for the following: shin red/blue/green are fantastic rom hacks by themselves and are a great introduction to anyone new to gen 1. The only "Problems" are if you plan to use it to play pokemon stadium.

So with all that in mind, the main game in of itself is great, but the only criticisms I have is in regards playing it on stadium, specifically pika cup and petit cup. The mist stone would be a fantastic item to use on pokemon you plan to use for these cups, but the mist stone only works on pokemon over lv 30. Since the mist stone is post E4 I don't think a minimum level cap is even necessary for it, but again, this is only a problem for pika cup and petit cup, not within the game itself.

And to expand a little more on this, perhaps after E4 the level cap on trade evolutions using stones to evolve instead be removed. It's a good idea for the first run of the main game to keep things balanced, but after E4 I'd say it's completely unnecessary.
