Crystal hack: Pokémon Rising Crystal [COMPLETED]

Hi! This game is amazing, I've had so much fun with it. Really well done. :D I actually didn't mind the grind, the grass patches especially in each town give tonnes and you can buy lucky eggs in Goldenrod Dpt. Store. The only real struggle is the exp you need to level up for Falkner isn't really there, the pokemon you have access to are 6-8 but his pokemon go up to 16. Once I hit union cave, the grind was fine the rest of the game for me.

A couple of minor things: I did read the part about why Suicune was blocked til Red (to block Ho-oh game breaking), it was a surprise when I came back with level 98/9 pokemon to find it still level 40, the Snorlax blocking diglets cave is still level 50, there's a trainer on the route either 27 or 26, I think they have a farfetch'd? That's normal level as opposed to being up to level with the rest of the trainers/wild pokemon. There was one minor glitch where I rebattled Hiker Anthony (just before Slowpoke Well) and his pokemon were still level 9 but he had a machamp lol :D this was after several rebattles, my pokemon were way higher level but just letting you know.

I saw the question asked about the Latis and Cinnabar island, I was wondering about that too? I found the generator in the basement, but I cannot find the key anywhere, I ran repels and item finder on (I think) every screen in the mansion and couldnt find it, havent seen it anywhere else either.

Won the dev fight on the roof of Celadon mansion, the dialogue and the item given made me laugh XD havent won the dev fight the floor below yet :D

Again, this is a wonderful game and was a real joy to play, thank you so much :D

It's been a substantial amount of time since the hack released, so here's how to get the Lati twins and where to find the key to the basement generator:

-The Lati twins spawn on Cinnabar Island when you have the Enigma Stone, which you can receive from an NPC in Fuchsia City after beating Red.

-The location of the key is quite obscure and is a callback to the old Mew under the truck joke. After getting off the S.S Aqua at Vermilion City, there's a space to the right on the port before walking past the guard where you can surf. Head all the way to the right and there'll be a statue which has the key. Apologies if it was a bit obscure, but then again that was sort of the point, hehe.

Thank you all for enjoying the game, it's truly heartwarming to see when people post about it here every once in a while. Truly, I am grateful.

Thank you so much! I picked up the enigma stone, its super late so will look to Cinnabar tomorrow, can't wait! :D

Wanted to ask, have you done any other pokemon roms?
 
Absolutely love this game crystal is my favourite so been enjoying this! Only just noticed it has a v1.5 version and I am currently playing v1, I'm unsure how to patch this when I select the file it comes up unsupported :( can anyone help at all please? Is it because I'm playing from my IPhone?

This hack was my first ROM hack and it was definitely a learning experience. I'm working on something new, but it'll be quite a while before that's on the horizon. Hopefully people who enjoyed the first one will enjoy the second. Thanks for the support.

Thank you for this! But I only got latios from cinnabar island via this method; latias is still not appearing. Is there a reason for this or is it just dependant on factors like player gender or whatever? Because I tried everything I could, aka bringing latios to my party, changing daytime, leaving the area and coming back, and nothing about latias still.

Ah, my bad. It's been a while, so I was a bit foggy on the details. Cinnabar Island is where you find Latios, but you can find Latias in the Dragon's Den when you're carrying the Enigma Stone.
 
Do I patch it to the Crystal UE 1.0 or 1.1 rom?
I was just going to ask this. I tested it with UE 1.0, then a USA ROM of Crystal, and finally the 1.1 but only the 1.1 shows the Pokedex entries properly, so I am thinking that it's the 1.1

I also wanted to say that the Wild Pokemon documentation for the early routes is a little confusing because: There is a column for levels (I was assuming the level that you encounter the wild Pokemon) but when I encounter these Pokemon on that route, they are a lower level than what is listed. I am also getting some incorrect spawns, such as a Lv3 Caterpie showing up on Route 31 at night, which 1) The documentation says it isn't on Route 31 at all, and 2) It should only show up during the morning or day.
