Crystal hack: Cappuccino: A randofused inspired crystal mod

Taking inspiration from crystal_'s Randofuser, this completed mod takes the original pokemon from gens 1 and 2 and fuses them with pokemon from the rest of the series.

After playing a few randomisers for gens 1 and 2, I missed the "hand of god" so to speak: some sort of planning and care so movesets wern't all screwy (like fighting a pokemon with no damaging moves) or gym leader teams that gets RNG'd with no good pokemon. So I went through every pokemon and fused them individually with a pokemon from a newer series. This mod was created on the rare afternoons I had free over the course of a year in Notepad++ using the crystal disassembly.

What "fusing" in this contexts means:

• A pokemons base stats are averaged between the two
• A pokemons moveset and TM learn lists has been curated to be a mix of the two (however egg moves are unchanged)
• Evolution methods are averaged (if they're based on level) or chosen between one or the other depending on which is more appropriate
• The sprite is of the original base pokemon
• The colour is based on the second newer pokemon
• Pokemon are fused with others with the same stages of evolution (i.e pokemon with 2 evolutions are fused with others with 2 stages)
• Pokemon with split evolutions usually have a 1 stage pokemon on one of the branches
• Pokemon are semi-randomly fused based on one of my previous randofused games

Other things this mod includes:

• Moves have been updated to their newest base power and pp
• Difficulty has been increased across the board, although wild pokemon levels and the battle tower have not been affected
• Gyms and special trainers have more Pokemon and stronger movesets then regular trainers
• More wild pokemon diversity and density
• Ability to catch all pokemon in one game
• Fairy Type added along with 3 fairy moves from the newer generations
• TM's are now reusable

You should try this mod if:

• Enjoy randomisers in general
• You prefer gen2 in all it's oldschool glory
• Prefer mods with little to no storyline or map changes
• Enjoy the feeling of not knowing what pokemon are in the next route
• Thought the original crystal was too easy and like difficulty bump patches

All work on this mod was done by me. Special thanks to crystal_ for their randofuser and youtube channel for giving me many hours of joy.

Please let me know if you run into any issues, bugs, or if anything seems out of place.

I really like rhebides of this and will definitely give it a shot. Pokémon Fusions have always caught my attention, especially with how we have only a few of them. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Hope you enjoy Inner Rhymes!

I updated the ips in the OP. I've added Fairy typing and went through the movelists and trainers again to fix some mistakes and make them better in general. I'm going to try and get a full playthrough done over the break.

Can we get some documentation on what changes have actually been made to which Pokemon? I know part of the novelty is supposed to be the mystery, but with something as significant as basically reworking each Pokemon, I find myself wanting to know what I'd be getting into before investing in playing the hack :P

Everything has been changed on every pokemon: base stats, attack lists, typings, colours, evolution levels and methods... There's over 2000 lines of changes! I can post them if people want, but it'll be a few posts :P.

I'd actually appreciate that to be quite honest. Maybe you could upload the changes via pastebin?

Hope everyone has had a good Christmas and New Years! I've thrown up some information in this pastebin https://pastebin.com/6aY8nMvv. I didn't keep much in the way of notes, so this is pure database copy/paste.

You can derive the pokemon they're fused with by looking at the last half of their names, and I've also included level up moves and level up requirements. I've also placed moves at the bottom so you can see if there's any base power changes.

Let me know if this helps, and have fun!

This looks interesting. Thanks for making it.

Is there any way you could share base stats and new typings?

For sure, I've added a .zip file here with the base stats and typings: View attachment base_stats.zip

They're all individual files, so much faster to post all the notepads here. It also includes the pokemons learnable TM and HM list.
