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

[@cygnusharvey7326]

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.

Emerald/FRLG Legacy would be insane. The obvious boost for FRLG would be to make it a reverse gen 2 game where at the end of the first E4 run you're allowed into Johto. Keep up the great work!

[@ZeroWorld02]

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.

I think doing a yellow legacy would be really cool, gen 3 is one of the most solid gens and I think really needs it the least, and yellow is such a unique game for the franchise.

Emerald please! I think what initially made gen 3 so memorable was the exploration. I trust you will already be making smart and subtle tweaks throughout the game. 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.

[@Zetamous]

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.

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. Crossing my fingers for my dragon type Sceptile playthrough.

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.

[@iraya650]

I would be so excited to see you work on a legacy for Gen 3! I think some of the things that could be improved are the selection and balancing of types available to you (ex.

Not necessarily needs any improvement, but I would love to see what features you would add to the secret bases in the game as those were my obsession in Gen 3.

[@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.

Personally I'd love to see this team work on an Emerald romhack in a similar vein to this one, Emerald Legacy or whatever you'd want to call it.

Feels like there was a missed theme of children defying/exceeding their parent's expectations that would've made for a lovely little parallel between the trio

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!

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@AstranBlue]

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.

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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

[@DavidFernandez-bk7fw]

Love the work you have done. I've always dreamed about a third gen 1 remake, like a Thunder Yellow, or in this case Legacy Thunder Yellow (?). I would love to see the OG generation battles with special stat division and physical/special split. Thank you for all the work you've done for the community

[@smithplayspokemon]

Check out volt yellow, its been done

[@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?

[@Paulinho_66]

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

[@deranker92]

the dv calculator added is actually really awesome lol. I was typing a comment about that and i clicked a random part in the video timeline and sure enough, it was explained right where i landed.

[@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

[@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!!!

[@numberonefanofa7x]

I can't believe I am now just finding out about this rom hack! Getting ready to patch my copy. As for the giveaway, either an Emerald Legacy, based on what I have seen on this video, or an Electric Yellow version that is similar to Fire Red/Leaf Green. One thing I would update: There has got to be a way to have a better berry system. Maybe an instant growth when you water once per day? Once the berries have been picked, a message could pop up saying something like "you have already planted your berries for the day".

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@t1lt252525]

It's so wild finding your channel, I used to watch you during the old fortnite days and then I basically stopped playing. Then, listening to one of my favorite podcasts (into the aether), I heard about this awesome Crystal romhack. Didn't even recognise the name until i opened your channel and was like..."wait! I remember you!!"

[@cjstanky]

Emerald, and HM tweaks would be great. There's so much superfluous hms like rock smash (useless in battle), cut (falls off almost immediately) , waterfall (not being physical in gen 3 makes it always worse then surf), and Dive (worse than waterfall, too weak to justify outside of just hm mule use). Items to either remove need for something like Dive, or tweaks to make these moves viable would be great so the player isnt forced to lug around an hm mule rather than a team member they want would be nice. Also the Rivals are dire need of a tweak, May/Brendan dont really get any involvement and doesnt fight you at all after an optional Lilycove fight, and Wally is too disconnected (basically just Mauville and Victory Road). More fleshed out rivals would be great, like having a goal beyond just helping their dad

[@basch07]

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

[@nolanjayce3222]

Yellow Legacy mentions from other commenters are a great concept. I can imagine even dipping into Kanto after spending so much time in Johto being potentially exhausting, but I have to shoutout FR/LG. Something I’ve personally wanted to improve is the Habitat Dex-making it more fleshed out and accurate. Adding primary/secondary habitats and stuff like that, maybe fixing how this is all displayed in the dex. Not a necessary change by any means, but something I’ve personally had an interest in, and that I think would benefit in a cataloguing sense. On another note, Emerald Legacy with a wider distribution of Pokemon similar to Crystal Legacy would be amazing. Just getting a chance to spread out those encounters while still maintaining the allure of rare Pokemon (ex: Chimecho), which you’d also be making more usable akin to Crystal Legacy. That would just be earth shattering tbh. Amazing content, amazing videos. Keep up the amazing work

[@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

[@jordanashby5155]

@SmithPlays Pokemon, this game is so great! I love the new and added features. Gen. 2 is my favorite generation and this brings back so many memories. I've started a play through and you have just broken this game again for me. I love it, keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next rom hack that you make.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@EndGameEnt]

Love the changes, Smith. As well as your passion for the emulator 🙏

[@MetalShadow5]

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

[@Morgan23592]

Great job on this Crystal Legacy, love this rom since I love travel between region. Would love to see Pokemon walk with us on next update on this rom or any legacy rom

[@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😁

[@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.

[@TheR0b1991]

I've finished yellow and am 6 badges in crystal 1.2.2. An Emerald legacy game would be great with your usual improved trainer teams gym leaders and so on. The more varied team selection helps for me replaying these games and using something like a shpeal early in emerald would be fun. Keep up the good work and im sure whatever game comes next will be a lot of fun to play through.

[@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

[@bulbaboi13]

I love what you’re doing here for gen 2! You’re giving it the awesome potential that it has always had! I’d love to see some touch ups on gen 3 Hoen and have some reworking and balancing of some of the Pokémon and important trainer battles. Having that battle frontier with maybe a few new locations would be sweet too!

[@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.

[@GrandMaesterStitch]

I'd love to see an Emerald Legacy! its one of the best games in the series already but with the type of improvements you made to Crystal, brought to Emerald could make it the best Pokémon game by far! Although i would love to see you do the same to Pokémon yellow, I feel an Emerald Legacy would be better first as we've already spent time in Kanto with Crystal legacy and you're still going to be making improvements to that area of the game so a Hoenn game would be a nice change of pace! Love your Pokémon content and your Crystal Legacy thankyou so much for bringing it to us and whatever you decide on for your next rom hack I can't wait to play it!

[@manuelnovella39]

Man, your pokédex is amazing. Really amazing. Thanks a lot

[@NeedleHair]

Late to the party, but emerald with a visible day night cycle would be incredible. Crystal having a real time clock made a big impact on me as a kid and i always missed that it wasn't visible in the gen 3 games. in fact as a kid i didn't realize they had an rtc until someone mentioned that berries grow with the rtc as opposed to accumulated game time. fantastic work as always and i look forward to the next one!

[@Celon549]

Just wanted to leave a comment following my main story playthough. I had a ton of fun with this playthough. I didn't take advantage of the open-ended changes. I usually make a beeline for Cianwood since I like getting Fly as soon as possible, and this playthrough was no different. But, the way you adjusted the game based around the open-endedness post Morty made grinding so much bearable. Not to mention, the changes to stats and movesets made some nice Pokemon I like genuinely usable. Shout outs to my Murkrow, Makuta, who tanked a Rock Slide from Lance's Aerodactyl and beat it with a two-piece Icy Wind into Steel Wing. Quagsire and Jynx were a ton of fun to use too. Between Crystal Legacy and a recent video regarding HGSS from Zen Mode, there's been a desire to fix Johto's weakest points, and I'm all for it, since I love the atmosphere of 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.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFroBoy]

Emerald Legacy would be amazing! With a lot of the QoL changes in CL implemented, it'd make a great game even greater! Also, maybe adding in some of the additions from ORAS but in the GBA style would be do dope. I'm no game designer so that's probably a little pie-in-the-sky, but would still be cool to see

[@kevinsykes9984]

I would love to see either Ruby or Sapphire get the new coat of legacy paint. Typically Romhacks for gen 3 remake Emerald, which is great, but there is something about Ruby/Sapphire that makes me more nostalgic and smile. Besides the obvious updates to the game such as more unique route encounters, trainer and gym leader updates, and quality of life updates like Crystal Legacy's 1.2 pokedex (seriously being able to see level up moves and route encounters in game may be my favorite feature of any game now!) I would love to see more side quests. While other games have them, I feel like Gen 3 was the best at it, for a lot of the stuff in the the game it wasn't just "Talk to me and I give you a TM" you had to go do stuff, and it wasn't mandatory. Like breaking the rocks to let the lovers see each other, Watson's request to go to the power plant, and fighting the family challenge to get a Macho Brace. None of it was required, but it was fun and made getting items more rewarding. So yeah, the update I would like to see would be Ruby/Sapphire with more mini quests for Items and TMs!

[@lightspeedchaos8420]

I have never played crystal before this hack so I decided to give legacy a shot. And I gotta say, I have never had this much fun with Johto! This is a really cool project!

[@XeroShifter]

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

[@mageofchaos]

Emerald needs Steven Stone back as champ, events fully added, Wallace as 8th gym leader, and redone stories. It's a major logic leap for archie to take the red orb and Maxie to take the blue orb.

[@joelhaverson7727]

Pokémon Yellow Legacy - and seeing as this game was most closely aligned to the original anime it would be great to introduce the Eevee brothers as trainers to battle in order to receive an Eevee, in a similar way that Surf requires defeating the Kimono sisters

[@daltondoane8267]

Just beat the johto league on hard mode! Defiantly gonna be my go to gen 2 game from now on, such a challenge. Thank you for making this amazing game even better.

[@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.

[@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!

[@rubenaldapa2653]

I really loved the fact that I could complete the Pokédex in Crystal Legacy. Red version was my first game but it would probably be more fun under the Yellow storyline to make a similar version possible. That and a Squirtle with sunglasses!

[@MrPikkabo]

Bro I love this rom hack. I used to play Gold and my sister Crystal when I was 5 and I was hooked for years. I have rushed through Gold 2-3 times since then, but never really did all the niche things like catch all the roamers, do the bug catching contest, breeding etc. This time however I decided to do a proper playthrough and I was blown away. It's an improvement in so many small ways (and some major) that the entire product feels very polished just like Emerald did. This time I even decided to shiny hunt for the first time. I did a full odds shiny Ho-oh hunt which lasted for about 10 hours of playtime. The first 2-3 hours were OK, but at hour 4-5 I started to worry that I didn't soft reset properly. Then I started to think that perhaps you had done something that removed shinies from static pokemon. At hout 6-7 I reeeaaally started to think that I've accidentally skipped it and that I will be stuck here forever. The final hours I was just depressed thinking "Wow.. That fucker. That fucker removed shiny static pokemon and didnt say anything about it in the video. Fuck that guy so fucking much". But then, he came to me, and Crispy joined my team. I also found a shiny gene ditto after about 2 hours of search, then bred to get a shiny scizor, umbreon, victorybell, slowking and raichu. Thank you for this, it was an amazing experience. Didn't need no update to give me the roamer location doe 👀

[@Abyssalangell]

Gen3 R/S/E and a fix would be the making the pokedex amazing like you did in Crystal and/or incorporating the events into the game as part of the story. Keep up the great work cant wait to play this new patch. Crystal to this day is my all time fav.
