Crystal hack: Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 2.2.0)

[Keetongu856]

Did you edit the hatching egg steps? Hatched a shiny eevee and now i wanna hatch some mlre shinys.
Any way to make breeding easier? And also hatching them?

Also , I'm almost finished with the dex 240 caught so far. Does the repel trick still work with entei?

Question: Would anyone like to write and edit some dialog for 3.0? You'll be credited for your work. PM me if you're interested.

Hi Rangi, will you add the evolution moves from Sun/Moon?
Also, do you think this idea I posted a while ago is possible?

Probably won't add evolution moves, since they're already in the learnsets and the Move Relearner exists.

Also not interested in making the Elite 4 even more difficult.

Egg hatching is unchanged. So is Repel.

As I understand it, the plan is for the following, difficulty wise:

* Ordinary matches have decent teams but the main aim is to have levels be on par with you
* Rematches with leaders, E4, etc, will still try to remain balanced level-wise but this time, go "all out" for competitive movesets/etc (while maintaining monotype/etc). Stuff like items, setup, coverage moves, hidden abilities (if stronger), EV investment/beneficial natures, etc.

Correct. I've already attempted to design good movesets for the boss trainers, but with the weak AI that basically means "a stat-boosting and/or status condition move, a STAB move, and some coverage moves". At least this can easily be updated as 3.0.1.

Rangi, any hope for a December release?

I don't think that version 3.0.0 will be released in December since the hack still needs some dialogues, mapping and events (and adding/testing the abilities). The most probable date would be January 2017.

Me and Acrozz are working on many dialogue things in our free time, however, and we've made a decent chunk of it already. The other stuff, however, I do not know of.

You mean Cinawood? Think it was mentioned a few pages ago, had its location swapped with another HM if I remember that post right but I don't remember fully, sorry.

So, i just started playing (at Falkner now) and i already have to complain that there's so much freaking Mud Slaps everywhere. More than half of my current team is weak to ground too (Gastly, Cyndaquil, Geodude, Bellsprout and Poliwag), so that doesn't help the situation at all.

Also, could you possibly make Teddiursa appear at night as well? You need it for the earliest trade, so i think it should be catchable at all times of day. It's a bit of an unnecessary hassle to go changing your time of day just for that (and i don't wanna wait until morning to play lol).

Also a shame Fearow is not in this, he is my go-to flying type. But that's allright, sacrifices have to be made. I'll probably just get Honchkrow or Gliscor i guess.

If you are seeing Mud Slap *everywhere*, you are probably playing Anniversary Crystal rather than polished crystal. If you are seeing it in the Falkner gym in particular, that's intentional, and it is also in vanilla GSC. Falkner gives you the Mud Slap TM (Which never made any sense IMO, but I never complained since it's how it is in the originals).

It's in Yellow Forest. It's the extra area West of Cianwood where the Safari Zone was in HGSS.

Please add soothe bell and happiness increasing berries. Evolution by happiness is pain in the ass in gen II.

Phew, just finished the game

So, I loved the hack for the most part, although I was playing the Faithful version. Maybe when 3.0 comes around I'll try your revised version. The game was definitely tougher than the original even though Vaporeon still trivializes both of Lance's iterations while underleveled.

The one thing that really irritated me throughout the game was how it seemed like if the Pokemon can learn Explosion or Self-Destruct, they WILL explode on you and take out the active Pokemon in most circumstances. Made it really hard to grind up in some areas and was plain frustrating with dealing with Trainers who had Pokemon who would frequently kamikaze on you like Team Rocket members beyond Slowpoke Well.

I had a blast with Thief too since the enemy Trainers actually had Held Items and was great for getting Silver and Gold Leaves. It also helped immensely against Yellow as well as giving a second Light Ball if you wanted one.

Also, will Red show up in the Training Dojo or does he have the same respawn conditions as the originals?

 

[doneinGrey]

Guys, would you help me please?
I've met the Rocket guy at the Cerulean Gym, but didn't battle him. He ran away.
I went to the spot the missing machine part should be, but its not there...
(I've already talked to the man at power plant)

What should I do now? Is this a glich?

Uhhh, nevermind, I've found the dude lol

 

[Splash]

Hey Rangi now that Prism is leaked will you be taking some of the features and implement it in your hack? Would be cool if you do.

Red shows up at Mt. Silver once a day only.

Spoiler:

The battles you can respawn with defeating the E4 are:
- Green at Navel Rock
- Cynthia at Tohjo Ruins
- Steven at the end of Route 47, next to Quiet Cave

Have you guys reported this bug already?
When you go to the "up" sign, you get stuck.

Sorry if it's been already said.

Yes, it was reported before and it'll be fixed for the next update.

This is probably the final battle interface. I think it looks sufficiently aligned and balanced, and matches better with the new type+category+status icons. One nice property is that the move data covers almost none of the Pokémon data.

The original interface for comparison:
