Minor bug fix update, it fixes a bug where the E4 rematch would set your level cap back to 77 if fought after Red. If you have encountered this bug already, all you have to do is update and rematch red to fix it. You can continue with your sav file. The updated patch is up!

[@thefanfictiontitan]

@smithplayspokemon - I'm having some issues with the v1.2 update. First, when I toggle through the options for difficulty and gender, the arrow does not move. This in itself is not a huge deal, but it is an indicator of my other, more major issue: after the intro sequence with Professor Oak, right as the player is supposed to spawn in New Bark Town, my game screen goes completely white. As far as I know, this is only an issue with this update. Do you know the reason and/or remedies for this issue? Thank you in advance.

A Yellow equivalent of FireRed/LeafGreen Is most appealing as a next step. Taking the quality of life improvements further and expanding on the Sevii Island hoping in particular would be interesting. I dont know if it would be possible, but adding the Orange Islands and league as an extra challenge before going off to Mt Silver for a final legendary encounter (say with Mew) would seem like a poetic end for Red before we see him again in Gen 2

100% on board for Emerald Legacy. Considering how good the game already is, I'm intrigued to see how it could be improved.

It's extra effort, but it would be very fun that all gyms had a choice of going singles or doubles, except 7th gym. For it to work well, you'd probably need to basically doube the teams and make one for single battle, and another for double. But it'd would be nice if you had options and not be basically all singles, or all doubles like I've seen some hacks do.

What you did with team rockets storyline in crystal legacy was great and blended in really well. I’d like to see you let yourself go fully creative with emerald and pepper in some thematically consistent but expansive content. But one thing specifically that I think would be cool, is to make Steven the champion again, but put the protagonist from Crystal Legacy as the secret final boss in meteor falls.

Really cool to see all the work that's gotten put in to Crystal Legacy! I once made a romhack of Pokemon Red specifically to make it possible to catch all 151 Pokemon in the course of the game, and while I was doing that I got into making tweaks like changing the power of some moves, trying to fix the type chart, etc. That was just one person looking at the disassembly of Red and manually editing values in a hex editor. As Red is my favorite game of all time, I'd love to see an experienced team make an attempt at fixing it and going beyond. In addition, if you go that route, you may be able to make it compatible with Crystal Legagy for trading/battling as well. Thanks for all the hard work so far, and best of luck with the new project!

[@motchman89]

Love the constant improvements you guys have been making. GEN 3 would be a good generation to tweak as that generation can be steam rolled with 2/3 starters, and the lack of variety when fighting trainers, and how certain gym leaders like Winona be cleared easily

Pokemon Yellow Legacy sounds really appealing to me. The feature I look most at rom hacks and especially game enhancement/ difficulty mods are the weaker pokemon changes, something that I think you really achieved in crystal.

They're either super difficulty hacks with some updates or they're just hacks that add every Pokemon but doesn't add level curves or accomdate the trainers for the newer Pokemon added to the routes. Closes to this is Pokemon Final but that game doesn't even change the gym leaders. I would love a emerald ROM hack done in the way Crystal legecy was done. Add in new events to get Dexoys/mew/latis/celebi/jirachi etc. Add all the pokemon up to Gen 3 and improve the gyms/Aqua/magma/elite4. I don't always want to sweat when playing Pokemon so always playing Kaizo is annoying when I just want a leisurely play through. There's already some really good improvement Gen 1 roms like Red++ imo is the definitive Gen 1 ROM hack game everyone should play. Red++ is phenomenal. Luna even added updates to change the tile set to a different season like snowy or fall. There's also new updates like ways to get Mew and other Gen 2 and Gen 3 mons. You can even get evolutions from Gen 4 for Electibuzz, Rhyhorn, Magmar, magneton, etc. There is another straight up Gen 1 improvement hack by JustRegularLuna for Red and Blue that improves Gen 1 and leaves out other updates.

Since Yellow was my very first video game, I would love to see your guys' take on a Legacy game for it. I would really love to see some fresh story and lore implications for some of the attainable Pokémon, aside from solving some of the infamous Gen 1 bugs/flaws. An idea that comes to mind revolves around the starter Pokémon that the player can encounter on their journey. Following a plot similar to the anime was wonderful, but it felt like Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur were just put in without any thought given to how they fit into the larger narrative. It would be really cool to be given an overarching reason or theme to why our trainer helps out others by taking in the Kanto starters, or any 'gift' Pokémon for that matter. I feel as not only would this give greater meaning to how the player is supposed to view Pokémon as friends, but could also provide some narrative beats that lead the player on an end game quest to discover what being friends with Pokémon really means, ending in a discovery of the mythical Pokémon Mew which the player can then battle and capture.

[@seortytv284]

I think Emerald Legacy is such a good idea for a project!I’ve always done little ideas in my notes for years. Besides from a large chunk of Pokemon that really need some extra love in stats or type changes I think that the trainer teams need serious tweaks. Team Aqua and Magma never get really threatening boss fights and Wallace…oh dear Wallace. The champ being type focused was just not interesting. If I could change one trainer it would be to make Wallace have a mixed team, with each Pokemon being specialised for winning a Pokemon contest section (one for cool, beauty, tough etc.). This lets him keep Milotic as his ace but lets him have a team worthy of a contest expert. I could go on about little changes all day but I’m very excited to see what comes next from your team.

[@homershingles910]

I love you bro. Thank you and everyone else for doing this so much. I've been in 7th heaven playing the best version of my favorite gen. If I had to pick which generation to work on next it would have to be gen 3 and specifically emerald. I believe Emerald is one of if not the best pokemon games ever but it could use some improvements. Since they were already flirting with physical/special splits that's the most obvious one. This is also when they got away from "Gotta catch 'em all" because they knew they were about to finesse all of us loyal fans and turn up the mega-corporation greed, so adding in an actual national dex that is worth it would be nice even if all pokemon isn't feasible. Let's change these encounter rates, especially on the sea since there's too much water. Get rid of feebas needing beauty stat to evolve. Make the safari zone feel worth it again. Add quality of life changes that you all are continuing to do with Crystal Legacy. I would love some type of way to add the vs. seeker or something to get more fights out of trainers. It also felt like gen 3 was where HM's became overkill so they could still be a move if you want them too but they should honestly just be a function for traversing the world. Trainers in Ever Grande Cave were pitiful and scarce. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE MAKE BRENDAN/MAY OR WALLY GOOD. I cannot stress enough how they are quite literally THE WORST "rivals" of any game and I will die on that hill no matter how annoying/weak/dumb some of the other ones have been. Those two goobers both fall off for large chunks of the story when it comes to battling in favor of Team Land vs. Water, (don't get me started) so when they actually do battle you, you're confused and there is 0 weight or impact to having to face them. Wally we don't care that you can breathe better when we barely knew you to begin with, it's called an asthma pump. The battle frontier ofc could be updated with more rare mons for teams maybe use that cave for more than Smeargle. Let us do the events (EON Ticket, Aurora Ticket, Mystic Ticket, and Old Sea Map) ofc as well. I can understand the call for people to want gen 1 done because it was such a mess but I'd rather you guys take something that was good and make it even better by smoothing out the edges. I'm sure if I played thru Emerald again I could think of more but I've rambled long enough. Thanks again. Love u guys seriously.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to play it myself yet since I don't own Crystal and have sworn off downloading ROMs, but watching these videos inspired me to tinker with the decomps for Yellow and Emerald and make really fun mods for my own enjoyment. As someone who has struggled all my life to finish any creative projects I start, this has been very uplifting. Emerald is in the polishing phase, and Yellow is getting close as well! Bless you and your team. I hope you all have a great holiday. I'll be eagerly waiting to see what y'all are cooking up next!

[@OfficialAnekito]

Hiya, fantastic video! Although Gen 3 is where most of younger persons started, I would love if you worked on Gen 1, preferably on Yellow (also an 'ultimate' game in the generation) or go with legacy of Red for Red Legacy! Some ideas: - fix "gen 1 miss" (1/256 chance that even a 100% hit chance move misses); - fix OP Hypnosis/Sleep powder (or rather the fact that a Pokemon just wakes up and it's turn is lost); - make the difficulty even higher than Yellow did; - make your selected Pokemon walk behind you like Pikachu. This one is just cute, but would require LOTS of work with sprites and interaction animations; - make Gust a flying-type move; - make Mew (or Ditto!) appear under the truck near the S.S Anne, - make Body Slam TM08 harder to obtain, since once most Pokemon get it (most can learn TM08, which matters MUCH in solo runs) and it's over for enemies - for example from the dustbin that Captain throws up in XD, so speed solo runners would have it harder during Rival SS Anne fight; - fix Body Slam not paralysing Normal-type Pokemon; - make that weird noise that informs player that the Pokemon is low on stop (QoL for speed runners); - likewise like in Crystal Legacy, make Kadabra, Haunter, Graveler and Machoke evolve on certain level; - give Vine Whip more PP and buff it to 40 base power so it's an equivalent of Ember and Water Gun; - make Bag management easier or add more slots as currently a player can only have like 20 items; - make poison take 1/8 of Pokemon's HP like in later gens instead of 1/16. Some balancing things that will eventually and inevitably make it hard: - SPECIAL works for Sp. Def. AND Sp. Attack, so Psychic-typed Pokemon are way too strong in defence. Or some in offence! There's just some ideas. Fantastic update by the way, Imma get my N3DSXL again :D EDIT: Also, PLEASE, make the game ask for Surf or Cut whenever a player clicks A facing water or a tree, a nice QoL.

[@OathOfRevenge]

The special limitation can be circumvented by messing with hp, defense and special. Example: After gen 1 Alakazam's 135 special was split into 135 spA and 85 spD. To adjust it in gen 1 you can nerf its hp from 55 to 14 and buff his defense from 45 to 77. This will make him keep the same physical bulk, but lose special bulk while being as strong while attacking with special moves! To find those values I played around with numbers till I got the right ones, but this process could be automated for sure 🤓

[@athath2010]

@@OathOfRevenge Stat EXP screws with those numbers, though.

[@athath2010]

I'd add the badge boost glitch, the AI derping out over "super-effective" status moves, Psywave causing a desync in multiplayer, Fly/Dig giving invincibility in certain interactions with paralysis (which is why they're banned from comp), and Lick being unable to affect Psychic-types to the list of things that should be fixed. The annoying low health noise is *why* speedrunners intentionally get their Pokemon low on health. It suppresses certain other sound effects that consume valuable time when played. I really don't think that moving body slam from just before the S.S. Anne rival fight to just after would affect much? It seems like kind of a pointless change. As for other, non-bug fix changes, buffing the BP of Lick, giving Lickitung access to Lick, and making Dragon Rage a non-set damage move would be on my personal list.

[@MrHoffie1]

Just played this. And omg this is the best thing ever. I could cry lol. It's like you made this for me specifically haha.

[@254zero]

You have done such a wonderful job with probably my favorite Pokémon game ever. I would love to purchase a cartridge. What ever your next project is I'm sure it'll be amazing. I'm hoping fire red leaf green.

[@moonscorchedd]

i'd be very interested in seeing Emerald Legacy! admittedly, the gen 3 romhacks market is a bit oversaturated, but i'd love to see what changes you'd make! plus, Mawile is my favorite Pokemon of all time, and throughout the games you can CLEARLY tell it was made to be a Dark-type at first, so i'd be interested to see which direction you'd overhaul it in. would you bring it back to its Dark-type intentions, or lean further into its final cut Steel-typing?

[@jboi6196]

I think Mawile would do great if it had both typings, assuming they don't add Fairy type. As long as you keep it away from the few types it would be weak to, it would have some great resistances. It could also use a boost to its BST, since even with Mega Evolution, it doesn't even reach the 500 mark.

[@roobertjuh]

I am open to see a legacy version of any of the gen 1-3 games! I never really liked or played RSE, so I'd be intrigued to learn more about any of those 3 games and see what you'd come up with to make them better 🥰

[@subzeroRLclips]

Just want to say i love this rom hack. My favorite addition so far is the move reminder. Such a cool feature in case you had too many HMs to learn a new move

[@DavMat007]

Definitely downloading this later this week

[@JC-cy8wg]

I just subscribed to your channel- it has been so much fun watching these videos for the past few months. Pokémon Emerald Legacy should be your next project. I just played through Vanilla Emerald for the first time in years and while it’s a great game, there are definite improvements to be made. My strongest suggestion would be a reworking of both the original rival (Brendan/May) and Wally in terms of their story and team composition. We literally never see the fully evolved starter Pokémon from the former and I always thought Wally’s team was not the best representation of who he has become! Hope I get picked!

[@CongerFamily-xb5zd]

Agreed.

[@jamestheredenginefan5268]

Well… I would like to see how you guys tackle Emerald and one thing that did always bug me is how Sky Pillar was damaged but no destruction of other buildings and also how team Magma and Aqua would react to that…

[@MetalShadow5]

Emerald of course! Also love the way you made the pokedex. This is how they always should've been!

[@jayclare6519]

Really enjoyed watching your updates and the Crystal Legacy; would love to give it a go one day - though I do struggle with emulators! I'd love to see a version of Yellow updated to FireRed/LeafGreen standards, so Gen 3 gameplay but still with Pikachu following you around and the chance to get all the starters. This plus a tougher challenge (better Gym Leaders/Elite 4 etc) would be cool, and whatever other twists you add like you have done for Crystal.

[@neverendingwebs]

Emerald Legacy would be awesome because I personally have problems with team loadouts of certain gym leaders + I am curious what could be done to make the Steven Stone Fight at the end more difficult.

[@cowbiykiller8182]

The update we all needed!! I would personally like to see an Emerald legacy and have Wally reworked to be your rival. It always felt really weird to just have the final rival battle with Brendan/May be in lilycove and with they way you teach Wally and you run into him more it’s always felt like he was meant to be the main rival

[@Exeggutorking]

We need more Wally fights and a new final may/brenden fight along with the ability to name your rival,

[@mikefrassetti737]

Definitely name all 3 of them, and a little more fleshed out Also more courtney

[@xavierpendragon2009]

I just finished my no grind run on hard, and I honestly felt like I was playing crystal for the first time again, the challenge was fresh, the old problems fixed, and legendary trainers, well done with this hack

[@mike18roy]

I started playing and decided on check out the Pokédex which I never do. Couldn’t believe how cool it was. Such a sick feature.

[@SimAbes]

Loving Crystal Legacy so far, I would love to see what you and your team would be able to cook with an Emerald Legacy style romhack. The final rival battle (Brendan/May) is unfulfilling and Wally needs to appear more in the plot so that his appearance in Victory Road feels earned and not forced.

[@jonnalfaro3623]

Holy crap pat. The amount of work and dedication on this rom hack is remarkable and everyone who’s contributing is doing a great job. I salute to everyone for putting in the hard work 🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@erikmatiascardenasmorales6205]

I managed to download it and now I can play it on my notebook!! THANK YOU!!!

[@SethValentine100]

These updates are amazing. I'm late to the party, but CL has given me a feeling of nostalgia that I sorely needed. I know the contest is over, but if anything I'd love to see Ruby or Fire Red get the Legacy treatment :D

[@CapnJigglypuff]

I’d love to see your Dragon Sceptile video spin off and outwards into a full blown Emerald Legacy. Much as I love the Hoenn dex, more opportunities for more varied encounters are only a good thing and I’d love to see how your changes to some of Gen 2’s biggest trashmons carry over to 3.

[@Kurizu204]

Hoping for a Yellow legacy. Gen 1 has a lot of bugs and oddities and could use a lot of love. Yellow also has a lot of unique things about it and considering how well you did Crystal I believe you could highlight it's strengths well.

[@hunterwylie6969]

For sure choose Gen3! Haven’t seen many fixes for that one. I really think you could add more depth to rival May/Brendan. Love how you did this for Silver in Legacy, and would love to see your take on Emerald! Oh, and curiosity has me on if you would even touch the contests and make them a bit more integrated, as they currently just feel like they’re there for not much reason. Not to mention having some type of display/understanding of berry effects.

[@highwindjump88]

I know you're taking a break from Gen 2 for a while, but I'm so stoked for the updates to the post game Kanto when you get to it!

[@Baaron87]

As others have said, seeing the same treatment for Emerald would be great. It would make some of the more challenging areas to reach like an island that’s almost pure RNG or even the event islands more accessible. And great to see an update on Crystal Legacy! I saw the original video a few days ago, so seeing the update so soon makes me more excited to play it. Thank you for a great rom hack

[@dralx2042]

This is awesome. I was already gonna start a new save anyway. I would love to see a Yellow Legacy because lets face it, gen 1 was pretty rough. Getting to see better movesets for trainers, especially gym leaders, would be great. You could also make it easier to find Mew for those that dont know how to do the glitch.

[@XeroShifter]

The legacy project is incredible. Keep up the great work guys.

[@ChaiKoopa]

I would love to see a gen 3 touchup! Specifically FireRed/LeafGreen. The main thing I would love to see is a way to encounter/get every single pokemon from gen 1-3. Would add in more variety and flair to not only our teams but also potentially the teams of other PKMN trainers. You guys have done an amazing job so far on this romhack and I cant wait to see what comes next :)

[@IEmulateGames]

This update looks FIRE🔥Thanks Smith! Also please do Pokemon Red next! Gen 1 Gym leaders and E4 have TERRIBLE movesets (Brock with Bide, Sabrina with Psywave) or just downright suck *COUGH* BLAINE AND BRUNO!

[@smithplayspokemon]

Thank you!!

[@dylandelahaie7800]

​@@smithplayspokemonalso I suggest more Yellow thanks crystal.

[@greil7392]

nice updates! i personally would like to see a gen 1 project with an actual post game that is not just catching mewtwo and calling it a day. what about the save/time battery for the physical game? would that need replacing over time like the OG G/S/C?

[@MegasXRL]

I don’t know why no one created a gen 1 game based on crystal rom. The map is already there, just need to recreate some buildings and create some events from gen 1.. them you would have an entire johto to explore as a post game for Red that would Be amazing There is one hack that does that but you start at kanto and after ss anne you go to johto

[@jacobanderson6114]

Wow I would love a physical copy of this game. The Pokédex changes are incredible. I think you should work on emerald next as I love the gen 3 soundtrack so much. Would be cool to see the gym leaders improved a bit and the ability to catch a more diverse group of Pokémon. Great work as always! Looking forward too see what comes next.

[@tezzastotallyretrogaming6476]

Amazing updates, the poke-dex was my favourite,. Brilliant work as always, I can't wait to play. I would love to see an emerald legacy with updated move sets, harder gym leader teams and a way to get access to mew, jirachi,ho-oh and otherwise unavailable pokemon without using cheats/bonus discs.

[@Tristan_Shuler]

Excited to make my way through Johto yet again! I believe a FRLF romhack with the national dex available from the start would be great! Or at least evolutions and babies of Gen I Pokémon. It always bugged that I know Umbreon was available to me in FR, but I couldn’t get it until the postgame.

[@GoodGuyNickPT]

Oh man, I'd love Pokemon Yellow to be your next game! Buffing Pokemon like Paras, Seel and Lickitung to be not only viable but actually powerful would be awesome! I feel like a lot of gen 1 mons are forgotten and we always end up using the same teams. I would love to go up the elite four with a team of buffed, underrated mons and crush them :D

[@SmashMath151]

Looking forward to playing this when I can find the time! One thing I'd like to see is a Kanto game (FRLG) with a postgame set in Johto, similar to how GSC have the postgame set in Kanto. Tying in Hoenn Pokemon to the Sevii Islands would be a nice touch too so that all 386 are obtainable.

[@tylerross4504]

I would love to see you guys give the first generation of pokemon games the same treatment! I feel they deserve an update after so many years of people enjoying them and being so iconic. I love what you do and caint wait to see more😁

[@AgntSmi7h]

Doing an Emerald Legacy would be amazing. And can we expand on secret bases? Maybe get some e-reader exclusive items added in game or some way to get trainers to visit your base?

[@TheMaskedGorilla]

A FireRed/LeafGreen style update to Yellow would be pretty nice, with maybe more involvement/challenges from the Rockets. I feel like Rocket showing up sort of like Majima Everywhere in Yakuza Kiwami could add an interesting and sudden challenge.

[@AntR803]

Look up Yellow Recharged by Jaizu

[@mikeagan]

I just discovered your ROM hack, and it is amazing. If possible, a popular small QOL change I recommend adding is to face the player away from nurse joy after healing Pokémon.

[@Taiyougetsu13]

I would absolutely love to see you guys tackle Emerald and change around the available mons. Gen 3 team composition always felt awkward to me in every run. Keep up the great work! Crystal Legacy is very quickly becoming my favorite Pokemon game!

[@Toast_94]

Emerald Legacy would be awesome! Personally what I would like to see changed in Emerald is that the team leaders improve. They are very threatening the first time you face Maxie at mount chimney since you're up against two fully evolved Pokemon at an early enough point that you're unlikely to have any of your own so they usually have a large stat advantage over you. Their difficulty falls off hard as they never get any new Pokemon in subsequent fights, not to mention that they're still using super potions in their final fight well past the point where hyper potions are common. It made sense that Archie/Maxie had nearly identical teams in Ruby/Sapphire but the sole difference being their Ace just doesn't cut it in Emerald where you can fight them both (albeit you only fight Archie once), they need teams that are more unique from each other; i'm thinking intimidating or imposing pokemon that reinforce their land vs sea identities. The Mightyenas and Crobats could stay, they're too iconic to remove from their teams imo, especially since Maxie's fight at mount Chimney is the first time you fight encounter a Mightyena. Maxie for instance could get a Claydol (magma grunts occasionally have a Baltoy and it counters Mightyena's fighting weakness, so why not), and a Tropius (it's one of the only imposing grass type or at least its gen 3 sprite was, it's rare, and it covers Camerupt's 4x water weakness and does its part to curb Swampert's dominance over the other starters since grass types are so sparse in major fights). As for Archie, maybe a Wailord (Team Aqua used some Wailmer to blockade Lilicove, it's imposing, gives it a place to shine before its stats fall off, plus villains having a Gyarados is kinda cliche), and maybe a buffed Masquerain to cover his grass weakness? Not entirely happy about my ideas with Archie tbh. The dark/ghost switch would go a long way with helping the several dark types with high physical attack that were introduced in gen 3 such as Crawdaunt, Mightyena, Absol, Sharpedo, and even Shiftry though it would hurt Banette pretty hard without a stat shuffle.

[@JoeBergy122]

Red & Blue is my jam. Played the heck out of those two games as a young kid. Would love to see a romhack with the following updates: -let me go back to Mt. Moon from Cerulean City! (add stairs to the ledge) -Kakuna/Metapod learn Harden when you evolve from Weedle/Caterpie -Brock wears a shirt -Moltres is somewhere else, not just standing near some guy in a cave. -Trainers before Koga use more pure poison types, not so many psychic types Thanks for doing what you're doing!!!

[@unnamedperson1]

It would be cool to see you tackle gen 1. It's so rough around the edges yet it holds a special place in many fans' hearts. It might be cool to add Easter eggs relating to the many urban legends surrounding these games like Lavender Town or the Mew under the truck

[@despaxatolas5943]

Of course we want you to do a Pokemon Red Legacy. It is much much needed and it will be much much appreciated

[@SpeedWaggin]

Tbh I'd really love a FR/LG romhack. I'm kinda new to the romhacking scene so I dunno much on improving it, but generally making the battles more challenging and engaging like you've done with Crystal Legacy would be really dope. That and adding in the event Pokemon too. Im having a really fun time playing Legacy on my GB. through the Everdeive. Thank you for making it!

[@AdamDallas]

Gen 1 for me! It's the OG that I started with and will always have a special place in my heart. I'd love to see a lot of the ideas from Crystal legacy added, along with some nice little easter eggs/bonus content for those who know the games inside out.

[@RisingPhoenix05]

I think Emerald would benefit immensely from move list updates and level adjustments. I love the work you and your team have done with Crystal Legacy and can't wait to see your next work.

[@basch07]

Definitely Playing this after 1.0 Massive congrats on listening to the feedback, this is definitely the best crystal mod as of 2023

[@lordbobby198]

That pokedex feature is crazy. Mad props to the team

[@theness_1015]

Subscribed✅ Gen 3 Emerald Physical special split, updated typings, updated movesets, balancing pokemon Emerald is such a good game, just needs those minor quality of life changes to really hit that next level and I think you and team would crush it

[@radtzerthecommanda8523]

I just recently watch the 1 hour video and now i just do the process for the patching on my android, thanks i will come back once i beat the game

[@MrBlacklightning93]

first things first, this game is amazing and considering that Silver was my first Pokemon game, i appreciate the love and care you've added to this game!! Also, I would Say pokemon Emerald. its a challenging game, there's definitely a lot of pokemon who got screwed over and need some love, As well as being a lot of people's first pokemon game like how silver was for me. And the Video you did on Sceptile pretty much proved that there would be alot of fun things to change about the game as well! I look forward to your next project my guy!
