Crystal hack: Pokemon Crystal: Challenge Mode

A challenge mode I created for Pokemon Crystal as I've always loved GSC as a generation but it arguably has the easiest pokemon league out of all the pokemon games/regions and the gyms in Kanto (or Johto) weren't exactly the stiffest of tests.

Every trainer in the game has had their pokemon's levels increased and major trainers (Gym Leaders, Rival etc.) have had team re-shuffles and moveset changes in addition to increased pokemon levels to create a greater challenge.

I've tried to be as realistic as possible with this, sticking true to region's pokemon and trainer's personalities but all the while making AI pokemon and movesets viable and in general creating a sterner challenge for players.

Please give it a whirl if you fancy a challenge during your next playthrough of Crystal.

I've actually watched a few of these vids back then and I was wondering where's the link for it. Glad to see one here!

Nice to see someone recognises it and yeah it's taken a while for me to upload it somewhere. Kinda wanted to beat the whole thing before I uploaded it but I couldn't grind to beat Red.

Wild pokemon have not been altered. This game is effectively just a harder version of the original.
