Introduction

First of all, please note that this hack is based off of Pokemon Crystal 1.1, so make sure to have that ROM if you intend on using my patch instead of the .gbc. The goal of this hack is to be the ultimate Pokemon Crystal experience for fans, a remake of sorts: same story, same Pokemon, same world, but the game is more playable, balanced and challenging. There’s a bit of extra content added too as well as many QoL improvements from music to sprite work to brand new features and battle system improvements! 

Just about everything is viable now due to a thorough revision of moves, typing, learnsets, base stats, and Pokemon availability. The game’s challenge has been increased by revamping the level curve and adding to trainer parties custom moves, DVs and stat experience, as well as providing a greater variety and number of Pokemon to their teams. 

More or less empty locations in the original game such as Ilex Forest, Ice Path and Victory Road (to say nothing of Kanto) now have extra trainers and items. I have also taken some liberties to spice up and rebalance gameplay, such as type changes to a dozen Pokemon, a few regular-shiny palette swaps to reflect this, and type matchup changes to balance out Poison and Steel.

Understandably, some players may find that some of these changes stray too far from what they want from this type of hack, so I made a Classic version of the game, which removes most base stat changes, Pokemon typing and type matchup changes, most palette swaps, and will lower the shiny rate a bit in the final release. The specific differences for that version will be noted in this documentation using the highlighted Classic tag.

As well, all 251 Pokemon can be obtained through normal play and all Johto Pokemon can be obtained before reaching the Pokemon League, except for legendaries and the starter/odd egg Pokemon that you didn’t get. On top of all of this, there are many quality of life upgrades as well as brand new features that improve playability without compromising the feel of the original game! These include new music and softer night versions for all outdoor themes, darkened sprites to better match the night graphics, Hold B to run, an improved move tutor and new gen 1 tutors, a move deleter in Goldenrod, and brand new move reminders in Olivine and Blackthorn. I also removed the badge boost and 25% AI chance to fail status moves, TMs are reusable, the entire game economy has been revised, the shiny odds have been increased and shinies always have high DVs, in-game trades have been revised, brand new quests that fit the original game have been added, many bugs have been fixed, etc.

If you want to learn more about this hack or wish to refer to specific changes while playing through the game, feel free to use the table of contents in the left margin to jump through the sections. There is a lot of information that will be quite useful during your first playthrough, due to the scope of the changes in this hack. For example, you may want to look up moves as you learn them, since there's a good chance a new move has been changed (e.g. don't just ignore Bind; it's actually good now!). It's also worth looking up the learnsets of Pokemon you plan on raising since those have changed a lot, as well as a good number of Pokemon’s base stats (many previously unviable Pokemon are good, if not great)! There are also a good number of wild encounter changes and new item locations that you may want to be aware of, as well as the level ranges for gym leaders, which are particularly useful to know for advanced Nuzlocke runs.

New and Upgraded Features

Below is a bulleted list of all improvements that do not belong to any of the other sections listed in the table of contents. Note that while some changes may seem like detriments or restrictions, they are done with the intention of fulfilling one of the hack’s main goals, namely that of providing a more challenging experience to the player:

• The stat boost obtained from badges has been removed in order to even the playing field

• Hold B to run

• Saving is now almost instantaneous

• Tons of updated sprites: restored censored Japanese trainer sprites, new battle and overworld sprites for many gym leaders and major characters, and unique overworld sprites for Pokemon and Surfing (thanks to Polished Crystal for that last one)

• Badges on your trainer card are now in colour rather than greyscale and the tops of the leaders’ heads are no longer cut off. Added a 3rd trainer card page for the Kanto badges (code adapted with the help of Seasick and Polished Crystal)

• Sprite palettes are darker at night so that they are softer on the eyes

• All 251 Pokemon are obtainable in-game (the diploma now requires all 251 Pokemon), all Johto Pokemon are available in Johto regions and all non-legendary/starter/baby Johto Pokemon can be obtained before the Pokemon League + 2 Pokemon from other generations; neither of them have dex entries, but one of them can be caught!

• Party menu icons in colour for EVERY Pokemon in the game (doll sprites are in colour too); see Credits section. These include different palettes for shinies and if an egg contains a shiny Pokemon, it’ll be green instead of red!

• The above menu icons also replace the more generic overworld sprites (in colour as well); credit to Polished Crystal for the Rattata back overworld sprite 

• Legendaries: some battle themes have been changed (such as Mew, Ho-Oh and Lugia’s new themes by Pigu) and they are all obtainable in-game: (MASSIVE SPOILERS) Mewtwo is received as a gift (he is holding a Gorgeous Box, which yields the Gold Trophy) from the Curse guy in Celadon once you've caught all other Pokemon; Mew, who now has its own party menu sprite, is behind Red if you have the Clear Bell in your inventory; the three legendary birds will be obtainable in the wild and may hold Brightpowders; restored GS Ball event for Celebi (does Elite Four check instead of mobile check)

• Gift Pokemon and static encounters are at higher levels, and fossil Pokemon can now be found by solving the Ruins of Alph puzzles (see the ‘Map Changes’ section for further details)

• Kurt’s Balls: Kurt no longer takes a day to make balls, just talk to him again, and many balls have been fixed (see Bug Fixes)

• Heavy Ball: now subtracts 20 from catch rate for Pokemon weighing below 50.4 kg, does not affect catch rate for those between 50.4 kg and 102.4 kg, adds 20 between 102.5 kg and 204.7 kg, adds 30 between 204.8 kg and 307.1 kg, and adds 40 for those weighing over 307.1 kg

• Fast Ball: x4 catch rate multiplier on all fleeing Pokemon (as originally intended; a few additions to fleeing Pokemon such as Abra) except x8 for those that always flee (now includes Eevee in addition to the legendary beasts)

• Lure Ball: x5 multiplier (like in gen 7) instead of x3 (code from Idain)

• Love Ball: Now works on opposite gender Pokemon of the same egg group rather than same species, but x4 multiplier instead of x8 (code from Idain)

• Some fleeing Pokemon are less likely to flee

• Gym guides give useful hints for each leader’s roster or moveset

• Gender is no longer determined by Attack DVs (so you can now get female shinies; kudos to those who contributed to the pret tutorial)

• In-game trades have been revised: 

• Violet: You now receive (SPOILERS) a Crystal Onix

• Olivine: Trade a male Kingler for a Farfetch'd (DUX) instead of a Voltorb and it comes with a Stick

• Blackthorn: Trade a female Dragonair for a Pupitar instead of a Dodrio

• Route 14: Chansey is now received (instead of traded) in exchange for a Nidoking and comes with a Miracleberry

• Traded Pokemon now have higher DVs and most are shiny

• Outdoor night themes (including for some Kanto themes that were omitted from gen 2, like Cerulean, Cinnabar, Viridian Forest (restored) and Route 25!) courtesy of TriteHexagon, which are remixed versions of the original themes that are a little slower and softer 

• Evening has been added as a new time of day, thanks to Rangi’s github tutorial! Evening is from 5PM - 8PM (meaning day is one hour shorter and night now starts at 8PM instead of 6PM) and features a warm orange glow as well as most of the game’s night features and events, such as Buena’s Password and Eevee evolving into Umbreon (now starts at 5PM). Dialogue has been changed to reflect evening and the new night themes will also play during the evening as well, thanks to TriteHexagon’s tutorial! Note that Officers and the PokeFan on Route 39 still only fight you at night

• Updated some of the Gym Leader sprites, in-battle and overworld (mostly thanks to Soloo993!)

• Additional music to spice up and accent certain moments in the game: the RBY Indigo Plateau theme is the Route 28/Mt Silver theme (by Mmmmmm), the (SPOILERS) RBY gym leader theme is Blue’s theme (credit to Crystal Complete), Zinnia’s themes used for Andrea and Lugia's Song is Lugia’s chamber theme (also by Mmmmmm), and the Route 47 HGSS theme (demixed by TriteHexagon) plays on Routes 26-27 (the original theme now plays on Routes 14-15). The SS Aqua theme has been replaced with Pigu’s SS Anne theme from Anniversary Crystal (demix of Oceanic Museum theme)

• Surf music and some wild encounters have been removed so as to not interrupt route music (such as Lugia's Song in Lugia's chamber) and because it may be jarring when transitioning from the mellow night themes

• Gold (previously Cal) and Crystal (new trainer) play the Champion theme, while Red now plays (SPOILERS) the RBY Champion theme and an extra trainer before Red plays the Brendan and Hoenn Champion themes (Mmmmmm)

• Empty areas in the world have been given new life with more trainers and items!

• Improved level curve, which can be gleaned from the ‘Boss Trainer Level Ranges’ subsection; in addition, the section of the story between Ecruteak City and the Radio Tower events has been given a more linear level curve, rather than the stagnant/flat one where most of the trainers in this section are around the same level

• To help with this, the guard in the gate area east of Ecruteak now turns you back if you have less than 6 badges; despite this restriction, Chuck and Jasmine can still be fought in either order (and you may still go to Blackthorn City prior to completing the Radio Tower)

• Trainer parties have been buffed with higher levels, more variety, custom DVs, stat exp, and even held items in some cases!

• Improved rematch system: rematch trainers will automatically offer their phone number after first battling them, rather than requiring you to talk to them again. Also, rematch parties increase in level at more reasonable intervals and the trigger for their upgrades is simply the flypoints you've unlocked or events completed, so no more fight count requirements to increase their levels. This means that you can fight Joey's Pokemon at level 40 or so as your first rematch if he hasn’t called before reaching Olivine, for example.

• Tip: each rematch trainer has 2-4 rematch teams, so you'll eventually want to delete the numbers of trainers from earlier in the game (unless you want an item that they give) once you've fought their levels stop keeping up (usually by their fourth rematch party). For more information, check out my github tutorial: https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/wiki/Improve-the-trainer-rematch-system

• Many Pokemon base stats have been revised in order to increase viability and balance the game (most are omitted from Classic; See the Base Stats section)

• You can now Fly to Mt Moon Square and Rock Tunnel

• Catching Pokemon now yields exp

• Exp is no longer obtained at level 100

• Balls of each type now have unique colour palettes and Ultra Balls now have a catch rate of 2.5x instead of 2x, although it’s now more expensive

• There is now an in-battle weather indicator to let you know when weather is active

• You will now be automatically prompted to reuse Repels of a given type once they expire

• In order to accommodate new level curve, max obedience levels have been increased: 0 badges = level 25, 2 badges = 40, 4 badges = 50, Storm Badge = 60, 8 badges = max level

• The Lake of Rage Magikarp House minigame has been fixed so that Magikarp found in the Lake are bigger than usual

• When you first meet him, Bill gives you a quest (see Map and Quest Changes for details) to obtain a new item, the Pocket PC (can only use it to deposit Pokemon)

• Many moves have been revised, HM Moves are much more useful, and learnsets have been expanded (e.g. most Fire-types now learn Flash, which has been buffed!)

• Hidden Power always has a power of 70, but type is still determined the same way

• TMs are reusable and cannot be sold, and their methods of acquisition have been optimized

• A Move Deleter has been added to the PP House in Goldenrod City and there’s now a Move Reminder (costs $500 per move reminded) in the Blackthorn City Move Deleter’s house

• There’s new (and free!) gen 1 move tutors in Celadon City and the Goldenrod City tutor has been revised: he now appears after beating Pryce (Elm will tell you during the call) every day of the week except Sunday, only charges 400 coins per move, now also teaches Rock Slide, and there is no daily limit on learning moves

• Days of the week siblings (like Monica of Monday) that give you type-boost items now appear every day (will likely make them battle you on their respective days in the full version)

• Type and matchup changes (all omitted from Classic): Poison is now super effective against Bug, and Ghost/Dark hit Steel for neutral damage like in later gens; Sudowoodo is now Rock/Grass, Politoed is Water/Grass, Gyarados (who now evolves from Magikarp at level 30) is pure Dragon (shiny and default sprite palettes have been swapped to highlight this), Corsola is pure Ice (palettes have also been swapped), Meowth/Persian are pure Dark (palettes have also been swapped and slightly modified), Girafarig is Dark/Psychic, Magcargo is pure Fire, Smeargle is Ghost/Normal, Cloyster is Water/Ghost, Charizard is Fire/Dragon, Blastoise is Water/Steel and Marill/Azumarill are Water/Normal

• Shinies: Pokemon with DVs of 12 or higher in every stat (except HP; it's not factored into shininess or HP type) are shinies, which yields a shiny rate of 1/256, based on popular request (will be 1/850 or so in the full release/1.0 of Classic); now you know that a shiny Pokemon will be good! Additionally, Onix now has an ice blue shiny palette, reminiscent of Crystal Onix from the anime, Articuno has a violet shiny palette, similar to its Galarian form, and Charizard has a dark grey shiny palette, similar to his Mega X (shiny palette RGBs taken from Polished Crystal because I’m lazy, thanks Rangi lol). Other shiny palettes were touched up such as Lapras, Dratini and Dragonair’s

• The Lake of Rage shiny Gyarados now has near-perfect DVs of 14 in every stat and yields a Blue Scale instead of a Red Scale; Gyarados also have a lower catch rate now (same as Snorlax), due to their buff

• Odd egg improvements: good DVs are guaranteed, there’s a 33% chance to get a shiny, it only takes 10 egg cycles to hatch, and the odds of getting a given Pokemon vary less (all are 15% other than Tyrogue at 10%)

• Togepi egg only takes 5 cycles to hatch instead of 10

• Dialogue changes to conform better to in-game events and to accommodate some of the changes I have made

• Mom no longer explains how the PokeGear works if you say that you know how to use it and the items she buys with your money have changed (e.g. Clefairy doll (now purchasable at Mt Moon) and Super Repel have been removed, and she buys many dolls that were previously restricted to Mystery Gift)

• Mom (and later Red’s mom) now leaves decorations and items as gifts to pick up in your room after certain important story milestones, so check often (e.g., SPOILERS: once you get your first badge you’ll find a Pikachu Poster, once you clear the Rocket Hideout you’ll find a Voltorb Doll, and you’ll find an item for a new quest in Red’s room once you restore power to Kanto)

• Decoration carpeting now covers your entire room (thanks to Rangi’s tutorial)

• Options: menu account off, set, stereo, and fast text by default

• The Elite Four is stronger after obtaining all 16 badges!

• Max number of items in the "Items" Pack slot has been increased from 20 to 40 and a NEW Medicine pocket (thanks to Rangi’s tutorial) has been added with a capacity of 40 as well. Note that you cannot currently give items to Pokemon using the Pack menu; it must be done via the party menu

• Max number of phone contacts has been increased from 10 to 25

• Pokemon that evolved via trade evolution (except Seadra and Porygon) now do so with stones:

• Fire Stone: Machamp

• Water Stone: Slowking

• Leaf Stone: Politoed

• Thunderstone: Steelix

• Moon Stone: Golem, Gengar, Alakazam

• Sun Stone: Scizor

• Dragon Scale, available only in Mt Mortar and from wild Dragonairs, and Up-Grade - milestone gift in your room (Silph Co has a new item instead) and from wild Porygons - are now used like evolutionary stones to evolve Seadra and Porygon. 

• Lucky Punch now ups Blissey’s crit ratio instead of Chansey’s

• Gold Berry now heals 20 HP

• Ragecandybar acts like a berry and now heals 30 HP

• Mysteryberry now restores 10 instead of 5 PP

• Gold Berry Juice has been added, which restores 140 HP

• Increased item availability, such as type-boosting and other held items (many can be stolen from strong trainers), evolutionary stones (see ‘Economy’ and ‘Map Changes’ sections), berries, decorations, etc. In fact, every item from the original game is now obtainable, including decorations, through normal play

• Type-boosting items like Dragon Fang (which has been fixed and Dragon Scale no longer has this effect) now provide a 20% boost, like in the newer games, and some previously useless items now sell for a lot of money, such as the Leafs

• Instead of losing half of your money when you whiteout, you lose money based on a modified version of the formula in later gens (based on number of badges and highest level Pokemon)

• The Bug Contest has been beefed up (see the ‘Wild Encounter’ section)

• Rocket trainers now have a unique battle transition animation (thanks to Idain’s tutorial)

Learnset Changes

Notes on learnset changes: 

• If no Pokemon are specified in a change, the change applies to the entire line

• Learnsets now include crucial moves that were previously event-only

• I didn't bother listing EVERY change since some are simply a matter of adjusting levels slightly (I use the term 'rearrange'), such as Tangela learning Stun Spore three levels later. If you want to see the actual learnset tables, check out the #data-tables channel in my Discord

• Note that changes to Kanto Pokemon learnsets are listed in the Johto section if a Pokemon in their family line is a new/Johto Pokemon (e.g. Scyther’s changes are listed with Scizor’s in the Johto section). Other than this exception, all family lines are listed by the first form’s name

• Poke Balls are half price, Great Balls are regular price, and Ultra Balls are 1.5x

• Essential restorative items: Potion price has not changed, Super Potion/Energy Powder are ~1.3x, Hyper Potion,Energy Root and Max Potion are about x1.5

• Drinks are more expensive, but still a better deal than regular and herbal restoratives: Fresh Water $650, Soda Pop $750, Lemonade $900, Moomoo Milk $1000

• Status-healing items (not counting Full Heal/Restore) have increased by 1.5-2x in price

• Non-essential restorative items (e.g. Full Heal/Restore, Heal Powder, Revive, Revival Herb) have increased in price by 2-2.5x 

• Non-essential miscellaneous items: Battle items (e.g. X-Accuracy) increased by 2-3x, all Repels x2, Escape Rope and Poke Doll by 1.5x

• Nutrients are now $1000 each due to trainers having stat exp. This is helpful for when you catch a new Pokemon, since it'll be behind in terms of stat exp, which can be crippling later into a Nuzlocke)

• TM prices have increased significantly because they are now reusable. TM 09 (Psych Up) can now be purchased from the Goldenrod Dept Store and TMs 02 (Headbutt) and 08 (Rock Smash) can no longer be purchased there. TM 10 (Hidden Power) and the weather TMs are no longer sold in Celadon, and TMs 14, 25, 32 and 38 (Blizzard, Thunder, Double Team, and Fire Blast) can now be purchased from the Celadon Dept Store (except for Double Team, they can still be obtained from the Game Corner)

Trainer and Battle Changes (port top of move changes to here)

AI and System Upgrades:

• AI: Every trainer now has the smarter AI used by ‘boss trainers’ and their 25% chance to miss status moves has been removed, along with some bugs (see the ‘Bug Fixes’ section), and challenging trainers now switch and use items more often. As well, the AI has been slightly improved (e.g. Solarbeam is now a favoured move with Sunny Day, more likely to use OHKO moves if your evasion has been lowered, no longer uses status moves on a Substitute, X Accuracy now just raises accuracy by one stage, likely to swap out if a stat other than spd has been significantly lowered, all trainers swap out at a Perish count of 1, etc.)

• Custom Parties: Trainers now have a greater variety of Pokemon and much stronger teams with custom DVs and stat experience, in addition to the more challenging level curve. Boss trainers also have held items and meta-lite movesets later as the game progresses

• Rematch System: trainer rematch parties are now closer to your own level, regardless of how many times you have fought them before, and rematch trainers will automatically offer their phone number after first battling them (see the ‘New and Upgraded Features’ section for more details)

• Environmental sprites (such as water and flowers) now animate when textboxes are open, like in Gold/Silver

• The artificial delay during saving has been removed, so the process is now much faster

• HP bar no longer drains slowly for high-HP Pokemon

• BRN/PAR/PSN now increase catch rate and FRZ/SLP further increase it, as intended

• Dragon Fang now has its original intended effect of boosting Dragon-type moves by 10%

• Moon, Love and Fast Balls (see Upgraded features for details) now work as intended; Moon Ball also works on the new Moon Stone evos

• Belly Drum no longer raises Attack despite HP being too low

• Berserk Gene's confusion now works properly

• No more DV-discrimination in breeding (not really a bug, but some weird and unnecessary anti-incest quirk)

• Fixed Magikarp size calculation errors and Lake of Rage Magikarp are now larger than others, rather than smaller

• Metal Powder no longer increases damage taken with boosted Sp. Def

• Fixed Thick Club and Light Ball stat rollover glitches

• Perish Song and Spikes no longer leave a Pokémon with 0 HP without fainting

• Defence-lowering moves no longer reduce the stat after breaking a Substitute

• Fixed glitch where a disabled but PP Upped move may not trigger Struggle

• Fainting from Pursuit no longer causes the Pokemon to regain the status condition it had when it fainted

• When using Mind Reader/Lock-On, all moves now hit the enemy during Fly/Dig

• Teleport can now fail if the user has a lower level than the opponent, as intended

• NPCs can now cure Nightmare and confusion

• Fixed AI's false assumption about CheckTypeMatchup

• Fixed grammar mistakes for Twins

• Cannot jump from a ledge onto objects or NPCs

• Fixed "Smart AI" bug where Mean Look was encouraged when the user was badly poisoned, rather than the enemy

• Present's damage works correctly in link battles

• Reflect/Light Screen can no longer cause def/sp def to wrap around

• Fixed glitch where moves with a 100% secondary effect chance had a 1/256 chance to not trigger it

• Catching a Transformed Pokemon that is not Ditto (aka Mew) no longer yields a Ditto

• Evolution stone compatibility is reported correctly

• Scientists now play the Rocket theme during battle

• Rocket Executives have unique battle themes courtesy of Mmmmmm’s work

• Future Sight is discouraged by AI if already in use

• Conversion2 is no longer discouraged by the AI after the first turn

Credits

I would like to credit the following people who helped me in the process of creating this hack and learning about asm and Crystal disassembly hacking (which wouldn't exist without iiMarckus and co's work on the project). First of all, the fine pret folks that form the backbone of the pokecrystal github community, including Rangi (made countless great tutorials and Polished Crystal), others who made tutorials (such as growlie777), Seasick, Electro, ax6, Idain (also gave me his tailless Slowpoke sprite), i0brendan0, potato, TriAttackDev, TriteHexagon (created the night themes and helped me integrate them), Stan40 (title screen), and Mmmmmm and Pigu (many music themes). Thank you to ChattyCrystal for the files for one of the Pokemon added from another gen (especially the sweet animation).

I’d also like to especially thank Seasick and Idain, who helped quite a bit with some coding issues for some of the QoL changes and have been good friends and collaborators. As well, these fine folks made the unique menu/overworld sprites for every Pokemon in the game:

Finally, I extend much gratitude to the members of my Discord community who have supported me and given feedback throughout the ongoing development process, namely Jason Biggson/Ben&Co, Sir Kitten Tavo, Ping Pong, Vamsi, KingCoocuroo, No_Honor, Azurot, Idain (who also helped notably with code), Animage, and KDLPro (who has kindly shared some of his AI code).
