How to Change the Pokemon Sprite's Colors

Starting with the second-generation of "Pokemon" games, you can encounter alternate-colored Pokemon in the wild. These Pokemon are known as "shiny" Pokemon and have no noticeable difference aside from the color and the fact that they are exceedingly rare. Many players never encounter a shiny Pokemon due to the fact that the chance of finding one is 1 in 8,192. If you have an Action Replay, you can make any Pokemon you want into a "shiny" Pokemon through the use of a code. This code only works for "Pokemon Diamond" or "Pokemon Pearl."
