How to make a shiny starter with RPG maker XP

Post by zelda100 »

I've here recently been playing with RPG maker's pokemon starter kit and I would ike to make the starting Pokemon a shiny, however I have no idea how to do so.
I was hoping that someone else would be able to help me and tell me what to do. (I am new to XP so explain in a simple way) ^o^ Thank you!

Why use RPG maker for pokemon? I mean, there are plenty of pokemon rom hacking tools.

I have too many issues with those, =___=
I found that there was an starter kit for RPG maker XP and I figured "Hey it might be simpler than the hacking tools," I was somewhat right and somewhat wrong. I have no idea if there are any better map makers out there but I have tried to use Map Editor but I found that complicated because from teh way I understood you couldn't create a legendary event that wasn't already in the game. Such as finding a wild Mew-two in Sapphire,
Again I'm not good at editing programs and I've been trying for awhile. The reason that I'm asking this is because I told a freind of mine that I'd make them a Pokemon game and I chose that the starter would be a shiny Mew, however I can't seem to figure out how to make it into a shiny, I mean I can get the regular old thing but I can't get the shiny....

idk what hacking tools you did but I remember I would constantly hack the game to make it to where there was a 90% chance that I would run into level 100 deoxys's, then I would see how far I got before deoxys killed me

I guess I could but I would like to have the other pokemon of the same kind be their original sprites, the shiny starter plays into the storyline....
