Here's more proof: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...all_%28move%29

Indeed, in second generation, it cannot learn Waterfall. In third generation, it can. And so ends the debate.

My dear Friend Ash I know what are you saying.. I was just supporting your statement . As this hack is 3rd gen based , Diego should add Waterfall for Feraligatr no matter what

That would ruin the point of him saying that movesets are now based on 2nd gen. He changed it to that for a reason, instead of leaving it (as it is a 3rd gen hack so it was there by default)

Liquid Crystal?
There are like 20 bugs even in New Bark Town hahahaha
The only good about lc its that its a big game :D
Id rather play 1 region in this hack than all 3 regions of lc :D

Lol sorry about the Togekiss comment i got confused xD

I think they tried to make LC be a little later than the original Crystal, in that the characters may be different, new things may be added, etc. However, I do agree; if you plan a "remake", then things should be identical. Thus, this is the better hack.

[alienhunterx]

We should always praise hackers as they really put lot of their life in making a hack. Both LC and Crystal Rock in different ways

[eragon_1121]

For some reason when I try to go to the Tin Tower it just shows a black screen. Any help?

[diegoisawesome]

I'm really sorry for the huge delay in releasing the "Christmas" surprise. This is what happens when I set deadlines for myself... But guess what? Today is the day it's coming out!

Nope, it's for CrystalDust. As you'll see...

Or maybe something involving Wonder Cards?

Neither, as you'll see.

Sorry, no 4th gen Pokémon in CrystalDust.

I can't find any errors with the old man's dialogue, but the sailor has been fixed.

Diego i have a lil suggestion for the credits
Add The PC Members in the credits as a whole and remove my name... many ppl here helped so it better be that way :D

Merry Xmas all its the last time you see me here
Why? Bc im a retired Pokemon Player :D
Good luck with ur hacks Diego

Honestly, you've just done so much for this game that I think crediting you separately is really nice. But don't leave! I want you to beta test all my future hacks! .
In all seriousness, I wish you good luck with the rest of your life, as a beta tester or whatever you do for your real job. If you don't you should; you're good at it!

I personally love it (serene grace ftw) but yeah, it's not available. Having said that, I wouldn't mine 4th gen being introduced, but I guess that's up to diegoisawesome (that, and I would doubt they would be implemented until at least the hack was finished/reached the Sevii Islands.)

And awwww. As many would agree, you were amazing at picking up errors etc. Good luck with life and a merry Christmas to you too (and everyone else of course.)

This isn't related to the post, but your Pryce sprites have been inserted and are in today's new beta!

...No thanks. The current Pokémon count is pretty good.

1st: Not really, considering the three remakes have different features that make them all good in different ways.
2nd. I could, with some modification. Interesting idea for the future...

Yeah, sorry to tell you, but Feraligatr couldn't learn Waterfall in 2nd gen and that's the way it's going to be here too.

This is true. People have different tastes and interests, and I think LC, CD, and HG/SS together fit into the main remake niches.

This is (finally) fixed with today's patch.

Speaking of today's patch... This is a big one, containing 30k more changes than the last one...
The Proper DN System and Fixed Saves Patch!
Yes, you read correctly. A proper DN system that has decent palettes and... light-up windows!

(I'll update the first post later)
Not just this, but CrystalDust also saves on real hardware now!! Sadly, this means that your old save files won't work at all... However, save states should continue to work.
These features and a lot of other things are in today's patch! Download it now!

That is pure awesomeness; I will try this immediately and give you a review when I'm done.

Even though I've previously expressed disappointment in carrying over certain aspects of G/S/C that were only there because of time and/or GBC hardware restrictions, I still wish you the best of luck on this hack.

[alienhunterx]

All Hail Diego for coming back!!! Was that beta posted or yet to come today?

Eh...

Yes, you read correctly. A proper DN system that has decent palettes and... light-up windows!

In other words, download, swap, and see if windows light up at night after you load your save state (not actual save since diego said they don't work, so create a save state before swapping).

I see that my patience has been rewarded. Diego, you are the man! I wish you the best and a happy New Years!
EDIT: Found this using the latest patch. I was at the bug catching contest.

[ElitePokes]

I know that they work hard on those hacks i just dont like some things in lc so i just posted my opinion about it

Anyway about this hacks update... holy... just wow i didnt see that coming :D
But still i cant really stay here even if i want lol i wish i could do many things at once but i cant so i have to leave... and it really sucks but hey thats how life works :D

Haha, thanks. I know you and me have differences with preferred remake style, but to each his own. personally, I think that the smaller Kanto just adds to the GSC-ness of it and makes it really feel as though Kanto has changed after three years.

Thanks for the compliment, but... what did you find, exactly?

Man, I'm really sorry to see you go. But if you have to, I guess you have to.

[alienhunterx]

Than I am starting it right away now to match your work with Liquid crystal..

Start with today's patch, because as Lugiaz Soul says....

Yeah, sorry. That was a repointing issue I made and didn't notice. Fixed in today's patch.
But can you see the image you apparently posted earlier? Because the confusion arose when I couldn't see them.

[alienhunterx]

OK then here we go deleting old file and re patching in a new ROM. By the way how is the work on Shining opal?

[pokélover]

ahhhh this is nice!!!.....and the bugs In the cianwood gym are 1.you can walk/step on on the rock in front of the last trainer in the gym. 2.the rock that the gym leader breaks respawns after about 3 steps after you defeat him

oh and I forgot to tell you when you talk to Mr.Pokemon with the red scale you don't get the option to say yes or no and after you trade you don't even get the experience share.......tried the new patch is just me or does the colors seem more vibrant and you put in some new tunes :D

[mcandre]

I'm trying to change the starter Pokemon in CrystalDust using the Universal Pokemon Randomizer. I select Psyduck, Mantine, and Mantine, and save to a new rom file. But when I play the new rom, it still presents the starter Pokemon from CrystalDust, not the ones I chose.

What's wrong?

--

Are Mew and/or MewTwo catchable in Pokemon CrystalDust like in Emerald?

If not, is there a reliable Emerald code that spawns a random Mew?

Can we get a definitive list of catchable Pokemon and compatible movesets for Pokemon CrystalDust?

It's unclear whether Mew and/or MewTwo are obtainable in CrystalDust.

It's also unclear whether movesets are closer to Gen II, where very few Pokemon can learn specific HMs, or closer to Gen III, where most Pokemon can learn many HMs.

Could we clear up some of the differences between CrystalDust, the official Crystal, the official Emerald, and the official HeartGold?

All I can say about Shining Opal is that progress is happening... Just slower than I'd like.

I've fixed the first bug in today's patch. The second one isn't a bug, it happens in Crystal too. The third one may be because you have too many things in your inventory. I'll fix it later.
And yeah, the colors are a lot better now due to the new DN system.

What's wrong? I use a different system of starters than Emerald does.

--

Are Mew and/or MewTwo catchable in Pokemon CrystalDust like in Emerald? Not yet.

If not, is there a reliable Emerald code that spawns a random Mew? You shouldn't use GameShark codes on hacks.

Can we get a definitive list of catchable Pokemon and compatible movesets for Pokemon CrystalDust? Catchable Pokémon are the same as in Crystal daytime, and learnable moves (not TM moves) are the same as Emerald.

It's unclear whether Mew and/or MewTwo are obtainable in CrystalDust.

It's also unclear whether movesets are closer to Gen II, where very few Pokemon can learn specific HMs, or closer to Gen III, where most Pokemon can learn many HMs. TM and HM assignments are identical to Crystal.

Could we clear up some of the differences between CrystalDust, the official Crystal, the official Emerald, and the official HeartGold? How about ou play the game and see for yourself?

Responses in bold. And please, if I don't respond right away, give it a few hours or days. Please don't spam posts with essentially the same questions.

And now, we bring you today's update: the GB Player update!
The GB Player from HGSS (or GB Sounds in English games) has been inserted into CrystalDust! However, it's of a much higher quality. Some songs still have issues and sound effects haven't been ported, but it's pretty much working as it should.

To get it in-game, go to the questionnaire in any Pokémon Mart and type in the phrase "GAME BOY MUSIC PLEASE". The clerk will then give you the GB Player. The next update should have a way to be informed about this from within the game itself and have a questionnaire within the Goodenrod Dept. Store.

[alienhunterx]

Looks like you already posted the reply of my question. So i have nothing to say more except the game play which is way too cool. Reminds me quite a lot of the original story.

[Projectwolfie]

Awesome work with the Day/Night system actually being proper and real hardware finally working! Definitely what I've been waiting for to get back into playing again.

[sate92]

where can i get evo stones like leaf for my weepinbell ?

[LCCoolJ95]

This game looks promising, with lit up windows at night, and the GB player. Question, what are you going to do about the 25 extra slots between celebi and treecko?
