I'll be releasing some screenshots of Lake of Rage City and Safari Zone soon.

Torture Skull September 1st, 2008 2:34 AM

good job so far i can;t wait to see more

Gold Tom September 1st, 2008 2:59 AM

Thanks, like I said, if you think that there is anything else I could implement just mention it and I'll consider it.

As promised below are some screenshots. Enjoy!

Falkner's New Gym

So, feedback please?

Mr. Magius September 1st, 2008 9:17 AM

This is a good idea. There weren't really much improvements to Crystal if you compare them to Platinum.
But I think you should rename it.

Gold Tom September 2nd, 2008 12:11 AM

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I've updated the first post to include the screenshots.

Crosell September 2nd, 2008 2:05 AM

Well Crystal was the best game till now.
So I hope you won't fail this project.
Only are you going to add Hoen Pokes?
It's quite easy but it can mes up the sprites.
Nahh just keep the Kanto and Johto ones.
Keep it up =)

Gold Tom September 2nd, 2008 2:52 AM

Thanks. I never planned to add any new Pokemon but I may be changing the legendary to Celebi. If anyone thinks this is a good or bad idea tell me.

So, feedback please?

Why is that man standing on nothing in falkners new gym?

Gold Tom September 2nd, 2008 5:02 AM

I couldn't find a spot for him, so I just made him float, it's only temporary, I may give him his own little spot elsewhere. I'm sorry, I'll change it.

Jordy San September 2nd, 2008 5:15 AM

don't need to appoligise. :)
I was just thinking: Since when do PEOPLE learn Fly?! :P

About what you said about including Giovanni in Johto somewhere i think thats a pretty good idea and you shud add it to your hack.

Chibi Robo September 2nd, 2008 8:51 AM

It sounds pretty good
but in the falkners gym cant you deacrease the size of that pit so it doesnt look like he is
floating....

I think that's a good idea. I'd do that if I were you.

Gold Tom September 2nd, 2008 5:10 PM

Yeah okay then. I'm going to make him reformed, and when you find him well, again, I'm not going to do spoilers for you. I'm changing the rival character to a more complex guy with abandonment issues also, when you see him he will reveal more and more about his past until you know the full story.

Gold Tom September 4th, 2008 7:31 PM

So, I may be changing this to Crystal, you can do everything exactly the same as in Gold. Suicine will stay as the main legendary but there will be a bit with Celebi. I need a hand with this hack so I've put a post in the Help Request Thread in the Team Discussions section. I'm doing everything I can to make this a great hack.

Hat? September 5th, 2008 12:48 AM

This looks pretty good so far, you should probably stick with Gold though as there has been more people working on it, you could end up messing up your ROM due to offsets being different in Crystal.

I really don't think that would be a problem. I work almost exclusively in Crystal, and finding offsets between games is extremely simple with a hex editor.

squirtle rocks! September 5th, 2008 9:53 AM

this sounds great:D i love crystal and im playing it right now:D! good luck anyway!

Gold Tom September 5th, 2008 5:23 PM

Thanks for the feedback everyone. If anyone wants to help just send me a PM.

Gold Tom September 6th, 2008 7:49 PM

Does anyone think it might be a good idea to add the Orange Islands as well? I mean, it could work out that I can replace every single beta map into a whole region. I would add only six or seven of the islands but it could be a bit of an extra challenge at the end. What do you think?

zel 2.0 September 7th, 2008 1:15 PM

Well, dont know if this can be sucessful or not, I think some people loved Crystal already and I dont know if they will like it when someone says that it wasnt "good enough". In my case I liked Gold more, but Crystal was pretty cool, with the Battle Tower, Eusine and that. We'll wait to see how you plan to make a better Crystal version, it always sounds challenging to improve something a whole company with thousands of people already made >.<

I suppose in your features there'll be the ability to get all the Kanto and Johto Pokemon, right?

And what about the difficulty? This could be a good chance to change the teams of the trainers/leaders, to make it a bit harder, dont you think?

Gold Tom September 7th, 2008 11:11 PM

Yeah, there will be harder Gym Battles, Trainers getting harder earlier in the game, and plenty of extra opportunities to do things.

.com September 27th, 2008 12:59 PM

hey just figured i'd revive this thread before a month went by.

poddish September 27th, 2008 4:07 PM

will there be a female trainer?

also, crystal was my least favorite 3rd game (so far) so it's great to see a better version.

will you include the battle tower?

oh ya,
will you include the saffarii zone?
