While this Romhack is a lot of fun, I do think spending 100 Hours on this wouldn't make for a very interesting video - I would recommend you trying this out for yourself! It's definitely a very good time sink.

I love the fact that you can actually rechallenge the gyms and they scale as well. Actually makes sense for a pokemon "gym". You literally go there to train your pokemon, and is a lot more fitting compared to beating up every single wild pokemon just outside town

[@Emeraldraven777]

One of my favorite starts for Crystal Clear is starting in fuchsia with Pikachu. You can have a surfing light ball Pikachu at the very start of the game pretty much. It's just as insane as it sounds.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Interesting fact, this is truly a Rom Hack of base Pokemon Crystal. So if you inject the Game and your Save File (optional) onto a Gameboy Color Cartridge or 3DS Virtual Console, it can connect to all the other Official Pokemon Games and PokeTransfer that the Original Crystal could! (It even works on the PokeStadium/SuperGameboy/GameboyPlayer TV displays) Iirc this means Cheat Codes like from a GameShark for Pokemon Crystal will work on Crystal Clear too, fun idea I've been thinking about doing for a while is picking the Team Rocket Character Sprite then activating the "Steal Trainer's Pokemon" Cheat Code and doing a Rocket Nuzlocke where I can only Steal Pokemon.

[@OhBlivEUn]

Thabks for the idea!

[@alihasanaxe4936]

Highly recommend rocket edition if you haven't already played it. Fire red hack with the same premise. Super fun, if a bit too easy at times. Short though

[@OhBlivEUn]

@@alihasanaxe4936 I did and want the sequel!

[@XIVDock]

Old comment, I know. But because of how the memory was optimized and rearranged internally for this hack (fitting in all the new features, etc), vanilla GameShark codes and other hex edits will break your ROM/save file most of the time. The game has added so many ways to skip around traditional progression that cheating is of fairly limited value.

[@RichardBlaziken]

So glad you enjoyed it! Crystal Clear is a fantastic experience, and is always my preferred way to play through gen 2. Hopefully more people give it a try!

Never gave this one a chance! I often get a bored with roms that give you too much freedom as I'm fonder of a little immersion and more directioned gameplay, but after watching your run I have to say I might even have to try this one for myself! Even the cutscenes and aesthetic changes weren't over the top. Also your team? Probably the most based one you've had through the course of these videos, but that's just my opinion. 👬

7:38 just use the Flamethrower move tutor in Goldenrod or Celadon. He’s available pre-E4 in Crystal Clear and only charges 4000 Pokédollars per move (not Coins!). I’ve used the starter Growlithe in CC (which comes holding a Fire Stone) with my starting city set in Goldenrod several times, and as soon as I have 4000 Pokédollars I taught it Flamethrower and immediately evolved it before the first badge. Starting in Goldenrod also gives you access to Kenya (the gift Spearow) as well, which comes with Fly in CC.

[@crowiltiziodeltreno4177]

Crystal Clear, undoubtedly one of the rom hacks ever.

[@theleonpasta7336]

Love this hack, though the elite four is a game breaker imo, like they should have the new battles be an option in the menu or an optional patch, or heck have them be the simulated battles instead of Gen 2's actual elite four. Besides that tho, Crystal Clear is perfect, and IMO perfectly shows how an open world Pokemon game could work to great success without having to deviate at all from the main gameplay cycle, though I will say I avoided most trainer battles since you can just train by re-challenging gyms you've beaten, but that isn't really a bad thing since it just cuts down on the filler, though I do think it makes any trainer battle you do accidentally get into much more annoying since it's not even worth it for the xp, due to what I said earlier about re-challenging gyms, if I were the creator of this hack I'd probably keep the gyms as a one time challenge until the post game and just include a vs seeker or something like that to allow you to re-challenge trainers with scaled levels without the call system, which would fix the issue of grinding for xp without turning the trainer battles into something you want to avoid. Either way tho, amazing ROM hack near perfect in nearly every way besides what I've mentioned, and possibly glitches though I've never encountered any, or atleast not any that crashed my game or affected my save or anything like that.

[@solgaleo3533]

While I love the look of this hack, and I love that it’s compatible with official Pokémon games, I think the compatibility also holds it back a little bit. I think more Pokémon would’ve greatly helped it. While you could just throw in some later gen Pokémon, I think it’d also suit the game very well if the additions were scrapped Pokémon from gens 1 and 2 (Including the supposed Shuckle, Yanma and Piloswine evolutions referenced in the Spaceworld demo, with the latter likely just using the actual evolutions from DP). Trainers like Clair, Lance and Morty with limited Pokémon to pick from could’ve benefitted from Pokémon like Kyonpan from SW97 (pretty much the only fitting one with a name and typing, the rest are just sprites that are up to interpretation), and potentially Pokémon like 401, 331, 353 (although they’d require more interpreting) (Also, apparently follow Pokémon was a scrapped feature for GS)

[@dylanwest2308]

Sorry but I have to disagree. I played this romhack wanting a gen 2 experience. My biggest gripes with the gen 1 and 2 remakes are that they felt the need to add later gen Pokemon when they weren't in the originals. At most, it should be an option to play with gen 3 Pokemon, not the standard.

[@solgaleo3533]

@@dylanwest2308 yeah, that’s something that varies from person to person, but having beta Pokémon is at least a good middle ground. I really like Bug and Dragon types, so I dislike playing the earlier games, where majority of the bug types available are very bad, and there are little to no Dragon types until the postgame. I think having beta Pokémon would work well, since they were actually intended and designed for these earlier games. The scrapped Johto ones would add some great diversity, and even more if they added some of the scrapped Kanto Pokémon. The only ones I would add from later gens would be Yanmega and Mammoswine, since they have data in the spaceworld demo, but don’t have sprites and such. I’d also likely use the beta Gen 4 designs as well.
