Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} remake, much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. It is considered by many to be among the best and one of the highest-quality hacked games, and was runner-up in the Hack of the Year 2007 contest at the [[PokéCommunity]]. Although the game has been released to the ROM community as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell. In response to this, Zel (the creator of the hack) placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features changes to allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.
