A YouTuber Played My Crystal Romhack!

[@drascia]

JRose skipping through Lance's dialogue where he _says_ Red gave him Zapdos is peak comedy.

[@Ryria901]

Red going around and capturing so many legendaries that he has just sitting in the PC that he just gives them away is peak Pokémon

[@benvictim]

For the kanto league, maybe switch out will and karen for lorelie and agatha? Having different trainers there might make the rematch a lot better, since you will fight two brand new teams.

[@aceelysium7898]

Great suggestion!

[@chrischristian7511]

I love this idea

[@aquartertwo]

For Agatha, Thick Club Marowak with Fire Blast would work as an homage to the Pokemon Tower and her Alolan Marowak in Let's Go. The Ninetales added to Will's roster could work as well.

[@ajmk2845]

Gotta get PokemonChallenges to play this to see if it fixes his problems with Gen 2

[@kasagure.]

i second this. i am a massive Gen 2 hater and this hack fixes basically all my problems with it. i'm interested to see his perspective on it

[@joeschof_95]

That would be interesting, he mostly just plays super difficult rom hacks these days but as a gen 2 hater I’d like to see how much he likes these changes

[@Psycho_Raged]

It definitely fixes most of them. I think Pat got a lot of inspiration from that video pchal made on gen 2.

[@grolcanschnitzel]

I doubt he’ll play it since he mostly plays extremely difficult things these days

[@KinnickMV]

Thats tough because he’s already working through Crystal Kaizo + which was made by someone in his community so he’ll probably want to finish that before taking on another gen 2 project

[@keizervanenerc5180]

I for one love the fact you need to rematch the Elite 4 after Kanto. I always felt like that needed to be the case with the idea of "OK we know you are the champion of Johto, but now you have to prove you have what it takes to represent Kanto too". Also great as a last challenge and training before the very high level Red fight.

[@aquartertwo]

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that also a prerequisite for access to Mt. Silver in HG/SS? It would make sense.

[@woefulweeb4943]

Well that’s why I thought the Gym Leaders in Kanto were so weak. At least by Gen 2 there is only one Pokémon League, but two regions with League Gyms. So when you go over and battle them they are going all out with their teams. If they were stronger then they would be Elite Four members. Then when you battle Blue and Red they are so strong because they were previous champions.

[@rjante2236]

No, you just needed all 16 badges. The E4 rematches were optional. Kind of a shame, since Lance whips out a Garchomp like its nothing.​@@aquartertwo

[@Vincrand]

@@smithplayspokemon not sure if it's the best, but I agree with op that it's one of the best. It's difficult to rank how good roms are anyway, because some roms have totally different goals.

[@thevioletbee5879]

Not sure about EVER. Some overhaul hacks like Unbound probably beat it. But as far as vanilla feeling hacks go, yeah. It’s up there.

[@evoxghiretti]

Maybe this could complete your Rival's story: When you finish the Elite Four for the second time, instead of fighting Lance again, you fight your Rival. His story goes full circle and he changes his ways, and becomes strong enough to be the Champion. The second to last hurdle is your Rival throughout the game.

[@shmokoguwop4819]

I had the same idea. Having Silver grant you access to Mt Silver (the place where he would of originally caught his Sneasel in GS) would’ve been the ultimate ending to his story arc But what would that mean for Lance? Would you scrap him or just demote him? He’s a central figure to the plot so just removing him entirely would feel a little off.

[@evoxghiretti]

You could do something like: Lance is there, but his dialogue says something like "You've come once again to face the pokemon league champion! Alas I am not the one you seek. Come forth Champion of the Kanto League!" and out walks your Rival. You get a final showdown with your Rival, and you get Lance involved as well.@@shmokoguwop4819

[@gibleEKvids]

emerald p much already perfect tho

[@Quartings]

@@gibleEKvids Absolutely- the only fixes that really come to my mind are just giving it a few more wild spawns (like how Mareep was added back into Crystal Legacy), buffing some of the weaker Pokemon same as this romhack, diversifying Team Aqua and Magma's teams a bit, fixing the rival battle near the end, increasing postgame item availability, and touching up the frontier a bit.

[@eggy4880]

Pokémon Modern emerald. More like polished crystal, both great games

[@sebastiankulche]

Emerald honestly is so good that the only thing that would make it better to a significant degree would be a PC port with widescreen support.

[@zaneaura84]

Gyarados isn't flying he's swimming through the air. All jokes aside though I guess it makes sense because Gyarados is always hovering in his 3D models in games.

[@aquartertwo]

Flying Gyarados is officially canon because of Legends: Arceus, and it gets Bounce in future games, anyway. But if this romhack and VGC has taught me anything, it's that Gyarados with consistent Flying STAB is busted.

[@lidlllTTTTT]

Gyarados flies in very early Pokémon anime either the 2000 movie or the first series of the show (also so does Dragonair)

[@gamereactz]

True but like what would any fish pokemon do on land lol... Just flap like Magikarp 😅

[@dorianpage9593]

I've been playing this rom so much I will forget it's a remade and believe it's the original with how everything is.

[@VegaMK2]

Something I'd love to see is a side patch where EV gains are disabled for the player, since your pokemon quality ends up so much higher than the enemy's. An optional hard mode type thing.

[@Redpoppy80]

That would be an interesting Challenge Mode.

[@tesladrew2608]

Maybe if you make it easier to level up for red. My highest was 69 by the time I got to him and the rest far lower

[@IIITrunks]

a different take on that idea: I've played roms where you dont gain EVs from battles but vitamins are far more frequent in the overworld and it felt REALLY good to play with that. exploration felt like I was actually permanently upgrading my pokemon in a way that felt meaningful. Since in normal play, assigning vitamins is really just trying to course correct for the very general EV spread your pokemon gains as you play

[@PieEyeToon]

Unless the mechanic has been removed in this romhack, badge boosts give the player a bigger advantage than stat experience imo. *Especially* in Gen 2. For those that don't know, in Gens 1-3 certain badges give a small but significant, (12,5% in G1-2, 10% in G3) invisible boost to a stat for the whole party. The first badge usually raises Attack for example. HP is the only stat unaffected by the end. In Gen 2 specifically, every badge also gives a 12,5% dmg boost to all moves of the badge's type specialty. This makes Flying and Normal type mons especially good for Gen 2 playthroughs as they get a beefed up Attack stat and STAB moves early on.

[@surtrgaming1730]

I don't know. +40 speed on a lot of Pokémon seems better than +12.5% speed at like level 65

[@shmokoguwop4819]

The badge boost mechanic could’ve been highlighted to give the player a motivation on which gym (Cianwood/Mahogany) they take on first.

[@PredictableEnigma]

I somehow never heard of this in all these years

[@jaykelley103]

I knew about the stat boost mechanic, but I didnt know the badges gave stab bonuses too. Sick. Gen 2 is dope

[@jefforear641]

It’s funny how much dialogue reveals/changes in this game. I just noticed that in the dialogue before Lance he says he’s got a Zapdos, but JRose just speeds by 😂😂

[@shanecrowe8517]

I found SmithPlays because of this series about this Rom Hack and been loving it. To see @Jrose11 play and review the game was SO COOL since Jrose is the first Pokemon KZbinr I watched and got me into the whole community.

I was thinking about letting him be a agility baton passer, but just using him for offense is a blast that I decide to let him just be an attacker (and thats only possible due to this romhack!).

Absolutely love what you’ve done with Pokemon Crystal. Pokemon Crystal holds a special place in my heart, it’s my favourite Pokemon game of all-time. But as you’ve discussed, it unfortunately had its glaring issues from being too easy, the level curve being non-linear after a point lack of pokemon availability. It’s incredible what you’re doing here. You’re well and truly modding Crystal into what it should have been. Your design choices are so well thought out. I can’t wait to give this a jam. One thing from me - I hope you buff teams in the Battle Tower to make it way more epic! And I know you dont wanna mess with the OG mechanics too much but wish that pokemon didnt have to be an exact level like it needed to be to enter the Battle Tower

[@lessthanmax]

I love this so much. I’m a huge jrose fan and I’ve been following you since you got to Minecraft. I love your zombies gameplay but wasn’t aware of it when it was your main. It’s so cool to see my worlds collide in a crossover like this, unplanned but gave me a comic book crossover vibe. Really awesome!

[@BryceRogers_]

Thank you, Dr. Smith, for doctoring up my favorite childhood generation of Pokemon. It honestly feels amazing, like how it did when I first played it. Everything was a bit more challenging, and you don't fully know how to approach it. That's the feeling of wonderment you want Pokemon to instill in you. And with your hard work, all those feelings and emotions were enhanced by heightening the quality of life. Much love

[@guardianshope]

I hardcore Nuzlocked this and set and decided the level cap for Red would be his second strongest Pokemon at level 77. Then I saw on the Google sheet that Pikachu would be at level 93 and panicked. Fortunately, I had saved my Celadon Game Corner encounter in case I needed it. The Wobbuffet I got there took out Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Destiny Bond killed Snorlax making the rest of the fight easy. It was a super fun game to Nuzlocke!

I loaded up the ROM last night and played up to Azalea with Chikorita as a starter (for the first time in forever) and I'm LOVING IT! Almost wiped to Eto due to lack of defensive switch ins to Smoochum and did wipe once to the head grunt. I have to say, this is the first time I've been excited to play a game blind in years. I'm exploring, catching most things I see, running an Onix beacuse I can FINALLY get a Steelix (!) and using interesting strats to try to compensate for being underleveled. Thank you and your team for the work and I look forward to continuing through the game!

[@Miikasae]

Love the hack. The “vanilla+” feel lands great. Would love to see the guide document expanded to show where rare held items can be found/thieved. Things like light ball and leftovers in particular. Perhaps you could also turn off natural stat exp gain, spread some vitamins throughout the game (could be both regions or just kanto) to further reward exploration/completion, and give late game trainers and maybe even some specific, uncommon trainer classes various stat exp spreads!

[@KillamriX98]

I didn't fully agree with all Jrose's criticism, but it was awesome that he played the game and let more people see it. Main thing I disagree with is I think he said he wishes the Team Rocket section was just... removed. Whether you like it or not, that's just a big chunk of Gen 2 pokemon, and you've said you want to stay true to Gen 2. Also you did some cool stuff with the Rocket Storyline that I think he just skimmed over, so that's on him. At the end of the day though, I think he mostly appreciated the rom hack and I think that showed by the end.

If the complaint people have about Crystal Legacy is that it doesn't feel like Crystal anymore, because all of the Pokemon are actually viable now? Then maybe that's not such a bad complaint.

[@lumineinfinitussilverkagat8094]

I started playing the game after watching Jrose's vid so I wasn't blind on my first playthrough but it's so much fun! It had a Pokemon Stadium 2 feel when it comes to the battles but it never felt unfair at any point. My team was Typholsion, Primeape, Gyarados, Gengar, Victreebel, and Steelix even though I think I was a bit over leveled at the Elite 4 since I got everyone to level 55 they were still tough battles and the Kanto gyms really gave me a run for my money as well as the Round 2 E4. Gaining levels honestly wasn't that bad I think I only grinding like twice, once before Morty and again before the E4 though I think at one point I was wishing I had a Lucky Egg to use but that was before I reread the docs and realized Chansey could be found on the route before Ice Path still I think trying to get a Lucky Egg that way would've taken longer than just battling wild Pokemon normally, I was going to suggest maybe have a static Lucky Egg in the overworld or on a trainer's pokemon that you could use thief on but then I thought that might ruin the balance of the game in some way. But yeah this is a great game y'all made and I'm looking forward to future updates

[@omegafd6992]

[@nixx7912]

I feel like for the Rocket gauntlet, you can use some of Crystal Kaizo’s strategy of increasing difficulty. Trainer gauntlets and the like to increase difficulty, maybe have someone steal the trainer’s bag between two decently difficult fights. The fights themselves aren’t hard but I think showing how underhanded and desperate Team Rocket gets through gameplay would be an interesting addition that would make it a memorable set piece.

[@Alienldr]

Yeah. I heard the criticism of the team rocket section before. And i understand both sides of the argument. It is tedious, but you can't just remove it either. Remakes of another gameboy color game, Metroid II, had the same problem. Because of the limitations of the gbc, they had t different bosses that had to be fought over 40 times. That's a bad thing because boss battle 34 feels like all the others and is getting old. The remakes, while making it better and more engaging, still require all these bosses, and that flaw can never be fixed without it just being a different game. We appreciate you making the battles better. It helps a lot. The only other thing you could do is remove 50%+ of the trainer fights then so you flow through it more quickly. But even then it either feels like a different game or people still feel this flaw and nothing could really fix it. It's great you see criticism for how it should be seen. But i dont see anything you could change so i dont expect anything. Lol

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

So much fun! Amazing work! Another cool idea to buff the Elite Four is to have your rival show up once you are INSIDE the room of the first Elite Four. So you can't go back to heal your pokemon for free. Also, buff their pokemon with full EVs for the second round. Probably Kanto Gym Leaders could use that buff as well.

[@earthboundisawsome]

I have an idea for the implementation of rival more in game: 1. Lance's student. Knowing that Giovanni and Lance cooperated before in game, Silver accidently saw them together, and he asks what's the deal he had with his father. after victory road, Silver might ask Lance to be his teacher, as strongest adult trainer, and someone who had connections with his father. In the first rematch Lance could reintrduce Silver and start fight between rivals 2. Battle tower. Similarly how Wally was superboss in ORAS, it is possible to implement something similar. After some score would be gotten, Silver will appear, saying that he wants to become stromger and bond with them, he trains there and asks to fight against him 1 last time 3. He could appear as superboss, either after player's win over 16 badges, or after winning over Red. When going to E4 building again, for rematch, he will appear, saying he wants to battle you, like Barry in Gen 4

Jrose not reading dialogue really harmed his play through i feel. Especially since he pretty much ignored the rival here.

Jrose is the man when it comes to pokemon content ! Loved his review on your romhack

I didn't have any hard counters for Chuck and without them, he is a BEAST. It took me over 6 tries to finally beat him and I had to use items.

He played yellow legacy as well

I like how Red just straight up abandoned Mewtwo after he lost the battle

After playing Crystal Legacy, i gotta say I understand why gamefreak really dumbed it down. 1. We were ALL kids. No adults played the game. 2. Nobody knew anything about game mechanics until a decade later. 3. It was still new and very rushed in development. After all the struggle as an adult eho understands pokemon, i understand why the originsl game couldnt be this perfect. I couldnt beat the game back then (becauseni couldnt figure out what to do) and i definitely wouldnt have gotten far as a kid. They guaranteed that i played it more. However, i love this bersion and i was always go straight to this as an adult 😁 thank you for everything.

I started this a week ago and have been playing on and off. Loving it so far at 7 badges in.

Thank you for creating this awesome game!

My FAVORITE feature in this game is being able to collect all 251 without trading. ALTHOUGH I discovered a glitch in catching Qwilfish. Fisherman Ralph never called me for an outbreak, therefore I did not need to catch him for the secret final battle.
