    POKéMON CRYSTALDUST BETA 2 IS RELEASED!!!!!

    Yes, that's right, the release nobody expected! (well, maybe a few people) You can download the shiny new copy in the first post, and as always, report any and all bugs you find to me ASAP!

    Thanks and have fun! :D
    There hasn't been a release in two and a half years. I'm so sad that I don't get to finish this game before I die :(
    jk jk
    Can't wait for Beta 3 though. Diego, you can do it!!!
    Here is a full map of Kanto, just in case you need it. This makes me wonder, how do you leave the Kanto region using the Vermilion city boat? There doesnt seem to be a water passage.

  • Just dropping in to show off the compilation of a few encounter themes that I've worked on for the hack.

    (You guys have probably already heard the youngster encounter, but I believe no one has heard the Lass or Beauty encounter remixes yet.)



    Enjoy!

  • So diego, hows the progress on beta 3? And what will be implemented in beta 3? Loving this game :)
    Progress on Beta 3: 0%
    Sorry to have to break the news, but I haven't progressed on anything story-wise since the release of Beta 2. I've mainly been working on new features and improvements, including a huge feature that I can't wait to show you guys!
    I really like this ROM hack, it feels like a real Pokemon game that Game Freak made, especially since it's a remake. This is one of my top favorite Pokemon ROM hacks, keep up the good work diego! I can't wait for beta 3. :)
    Thank you!
    I really love this hack, best remake of crystal <3
    I was defeat etile 4 and champion of johto :) and i can't wait until the next beta release to travel to kanto :D
    Thanks for playing!
    Very good hack but playing soulsilver/heartgold with a ds emu on my phone is the best way of experiencing a johto remake xD
    Well, to each their own.

    Hah, I'm fine, I don't need a Kanto map.
    Thanks for supporting me though!

    That's really weird, but if it works, it works.

    Beta 3 will be what many consider to be a "completed Crystal remake". However, that doesn't mean I'm done with CrystalDust; the Sevii Islands will be after that.
    If the base is Emerald, does that mean there will be a Battle Frontier included sometime in the future?
    Yeah, on the island where Trainer Hill used to be in the Sevii Islands.

    This hack has come a long way since it started. It looks excellent. I'm gonna try out the latest release soon.

  • Is it possible to add reusable TM's and BW2 repel system in beta 3?
    Well technically, it's "possible", but in order to preserve CrystalDust as an accurate remake, I won't be including them.

    Probably. It could very well be what I'm working on right now. But maybe not. ;)

    Cool, can't wait to hear your thoughts!

    No new updates today, but I'd like to welcome aboard a new addition to CrystalDust's "team": Jilly Shears! He's going to take some of the burden of music creation off MrAPT1's back, and he's already made a few themes to show off his skill!


    Not to mention, Jilly's music got MrAPT1 inspired, and so he made this:


    Have a happy holiday season, everyone!
