Hi. This message is addressed at Crystal_ / the creator of the ROM--I know I just joined, but, I joined specifically for the purpose of thanking you for this ROM. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into it, but I've been looking for a hard mode version of Crystal for...jeez, at least ten years and now I can finally play one that doesn't change the game into a completely different ROM. it's the original game, with a difficulty less 'kiddish' (which, to be fair, the original was easy even as a kid, save for maybe the last few gym leaders and Red). Both me and two of my friends downloaded it and all of us love it. It's one of the few hacks true to our memories, minus the map edits which are a welcome change, similar to how HG/SS were more of the same with some changes. I'll probably come back later to say more, but yeah, just wanted to show my appreciation for your hard work. You go man.
P.S. Out of curiosity, is Whitney's Gym shaped like anything with the map edit? (it used to be a Clefairy)
