Played the newest alpha and while underwhelmed by the length of the demo (Ecruteak is where the real fun begins), I was still impressed by the hack. When it comes to the "official-looking Gen III remake of Crystal", this one is the closest to my imagination and to me it does its job better than...

Perhaps it's a bit late to the party but I was thinking about how Spaceworld Demo stuff could be used to make Polished Crystal even better. I compiled a list. I know that some of these things might be unnecessary, hard to program or even impossible, so take that merely as a list of loose ideas...

Hey Pia Carrot, nice to see that your hack is progressing. I like it very much, it's really close to how I envision "game-based Orange Islands" (one difference is that I probably wouldn't put so many newgen Pokemon in there, but I understand that you wanted to make the pool of available Pokemon...

While I do see your point, I think this is unnecessary arrogance. Yes, hacks are meant to be different and most people understand that. But having incomplete evolution chains or having a Johto Pokemon stripped off a Johto-based game will always be bothersome, especially in a hack like this...

Oh, awesome, thank you! However, my save from an older build of the beta doesn't seem to be compatible with this version. Is it possible to make it work somehow? I'm not sure if replaying the entire game to see just a few changes is worth it.

Yeah, I have the version that was posted on Skeetendo. It's pretty old, I think. I have no idea about how Github works and how to make builds. It's all Greek to me. I have no capability for this kind of stuff.

Okay, I've came back to playing Polished Crystal 3.0.0 beta and I think I've done pretty much everything that's left to do aside from One thing I haven't figured out is how to make Fuji step out of the staircase in the House of Memories? Is it even possible to do it in this beta? I tried...

This looks promising. Keep up the great work. Ah, nevermind then. Also, one more thing that I think could be included would be the Shaymin Stone in Kanto (mentioned in DPPt). Even if you can't put any more Pokemon in the game, I think it's worth including.

Yeah, Shudo's book is full of many interesting facts about the early anime (most of which are long-forgotten and contradictory to today's anime and games). The first volume and part of the second one can be read in English here. The thing about Masara Ookido is in the first chapter. Some of...

I reminded myself of one more obscure thing that could be referenced in the future releases of the fact. This is from Takeshi Shudo's early novelization of the anime. It says that over a hundred years back, Samuel Oak's great-great-grandfather Okido Masara (in English that'd be "Pallet Oak", I...

Oh, that's great. I'm glad that you guys are putting so much thought into this hack. It really makes it feel "Polished". So, if the Dragon Rage Magikarp is in the hack, connected with the patterns from Magikarp Jump, will it be given some special IVs, so that it has a rare pattern (is there a...

Oh, cool. I hope you manage to do this, that'd really help to make your hack near-perfect. Well, Cal also technically has a known design via Stadium 2, but most people remember him as the clone of the boy player anyway. Also, if you go by Carrie, you may want to rename Lass Carrie, who appears...

It's been a while since I've played a hack... I tried Polished Crystal 2.2, the "non-faithful" version (to have the full experience) and I must say that I'm pretty impressed. But what is going to be in the next releases looks much, much more impressive. Generally, this is a hack of the type...

But this is not what I meant. I DO know how the Celebi event looks like after obtaining GS Ball, it's no mystery. Also, not all mobile events were GS Ball-oriented. Also, the way of acquision shown in that video is English-only and unused. In Japanese version, you obtained GS Ball for answering...

No they aren't, 'cause there are no Mediums in FR/LG. Channelers and Mediums aren't quite the same thing, they're based on two different Japanese concepts. Not to mention that Mediums (as opposed to Channelers) are supposed to be elderly. By the way, have you thought about including...
