If I understand: you're trying to patch your current Shining Crystal ROM with the UPS patch that was pushed on October 5th and you encounter an issue when you do that? What happens when you try to patch it? The patch from that date is patching vanilla crystal (MD5...

Thanks for your comment. Making all 251 pokemon catchable for Oak's challenge is not currently a goal for this game.

Did you download the patch from the Github (https://github.com/ArthropodAssault/Shining-Crystal-Patch-and-Documentation) rather than visualboyadvance.org? The latter is not maintained by me and may not be updated regularly, although I do appreciate VBA promoting the game. I've asked VBA to post...

I had set all wild encounter DVs to perfect, which was skewing gender ratios. The gender-DV association is changed in this game so that high attack DVs do not always yield a male gender. After some consideration, I've returned wild pokemon DVs to random, which has returned wild gender ratios to...

If so, that is a glitch. I'll check in to it later when I get a chance. It might be helpful for Whitney's miltank :). Edit: There are both male and female pokemon in the wild, but I think there may be some skewed gender ratios causing the perception that Shiny Umbreon endorsed. I'll check on...

She's in the Lugia speech house in Ecruteak in the current patch. But in a previous patch she was in Goldenrod in the PP speech house, so she may be there for you. This link (https://github.com/ArthropodAssault/Shining-Crystal-Patch-and-Documentation/commits/main/) will show you the dates of...

There is a glitch where the move relearner menu is displaying the wrong move type (normal, fire, etc) for some moves. The moves are of the correct type and function correctly in battle. I'll post if able to correct this.

Thanks for the question. I have updated trainer parties over the the past month. There are only about half a dozen parties affected, but Blaine's party was among them. So the patch you used is slightly different than the current patch & documentation. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thanks for reporting the bug. The Victory Road rival issue was a problem with an incorrect trainer type. That has been corrected and the battle should function normally now for all starter choices. I've reverted grimer to pure poison type. I had it and muk as dark/poison earlier, and then...

Exovdo pointed out that the patches weren't working with some vanilla ROM files. This should be fixed now at least for the vanilla crystal ROMs downloadable from Reddit's ROMs megathread. Thanks for the heads up.

Shining Crystal is a Crystal rom hack that adds significant difficulty and many quality-of-life features while remaining largely true to the original game. I've played through this several times and currently have no known bugs. I've enjoyed creating and playing the game, and I hope others...
