Description
It is a "Deluxe" enhancement hack of the classic Gen 2 game, designed to be the definitive way to experience the Johto region. While the story remains faithful to the original, the gameplay has been massively modernized. This hack removes the tedious aspects of the Game Boy Color era by adding features like a Gen 6 Exp. Share, a Pocket PC to manage your team anywhere, and a system that lets you use HMs without teaching them to your Pokémon! With all 251 Pokémon obtainable, updated trainer teams, and a smoother level curve, this is Pokémon Crystal refined to perfection.
Features
- Gen 6 Experience System: Features a toggleable Exp. Share Key Item and allows you to gain EXP when catching Pokémon.
- Pocket PC: A new Key Item that lets you manage your Pokémon party from anywhere in the overworld.
- No HM Slaves Required: You can use field moves (Cut, Surf, etc.) as long as a Pokémon in your party is able to learn the move and you have the Badge/HM. You do not need to delete moves to progress.
- Complete 251 Pokédex: All Pokémon from Gen 1 and 2 are obtainable in-game without trading, including starters and legendaries via static encounters.
- Infinite TMs: Technical Machines can be used an unlimited number of times.
- Instant Apricorn Balls: Kurt now crafts balls instantly without the 24-hour wait, and trees can yield up to 5 Apricorns at once.
- Running Shoes: Available from the very start of the game.
- Improved Stone Evolutions: Pokémon evolved via stones will continue to learn new moves, so you don't have to delay evolution.
- Updated Trainer Rosters: Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Team Rocket have updated teams to better fit their themes, with a progressive difficulty curve.
- Modern Repel System: The game prompts you to use another Repel immediately after one wears off.
- Visual Overhaul: Every Pokémon has a unique party icon and overworld sprite. Poké Ball colors and Gym Badges now match their canon colors.
- Gameplay Speed-Ups: Includes faster text scrolling, faster saving, and faster healing at Pokémon Centers.
- Move Relearner: A Move Reminder NPC has been added (shared location with Move Deleter).
- No Overworld Poison: Pokémon no longer take damage from poison while walking outside of battle.
- Audio Fix: The low HP alarm has been reduced to a single short beep instead of a constant loop.
- Pokemon Updates: Base stats, move pools, and evolution methods have been updated to make more Pokémon viable and obtainable solo.
