Crystal hack: Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 2.2.0)

I did see that one, it's a nontrivial fix due to how GSC handles turn end. I'm going to look at it eventually (There's similar issues with other endturn effects like Leftovers), I think I might need to refactor the main battle turn sequence logic for it to handle faints more like 4gen and onwards, but I've held off on it for now.

hey rangi, soI got the shiny pichu from wonder trade and gave it to kurt but I can't figure out how to get kurt to go lookat the forest so that the other part of the celebi event happens, do I need all 3 beasts for it or am I good with just my raikou?

First of all, you give Kurt the GS ball, and then wait a day. When it passes a day, talk to Kurt and a cutscene will happpen. Then you interact with the Celebi Shrine and then you battle Celebi. He's level 30 so watch out and save before interacting with the shrine.

sounds like an outdated mechanic to keep, but ok

I'm not sure if they meant it would be kept, just that it hasn't been updated yet. You were right to point it out though!

was trying to grind golf leaves off of bellsprouts and using thief doesn't work, it says i get the gold leaf and my tentacool isn't holding anything/nothing in my inventory

then i proceed to go catch bellsprouts instead and it's holding a leftovers. really not sure whats going on there

Hello, Rangi! Playing through beta e59b20a, if I'm not mistaken. If I get into a battle, and insist on using my Togepi and use metronome for a few turns, the game crashes. It has happened repeatedly, and with different trainers. I could use other pokemon, but if I keep using Togepi and metronome, the game crashes, without fail.

A few more things to report:

1. Colors stay inverted after Moonblast is used.
2. "Rare items" sold by a girl in the Goldenrod Harbor cost a lot more money after pressing A. Also, the game can't correctly calculate the maximum amount of items I can currently afford. This only happens with this NPC.
3. Items aren't anywhere to be found after being acquired by Thief. They are succesfully removed from foes, though.

I've noticed some bugs:
- when someone calls you the upper part of the screen became a little glitchy (it varies based on where you are when you receive the call though, sometimes only color are glitchy but sometimes even the names).

- there is something wrong with moves that lower or increase accuracy, the effects seem to be inverted: mud-slap instead of lower accuracy increases it (tested personally with my quilava when battling rival after Bugsy) and smokescreen has the same problem.

-there is a weird bug I can't explain very well (I'm not english and I'm trying to write as best as I can) that happened to me when I was in the Sprout Tower: I was battling sages and I eventually got to Elder Li and my zubat ran out of PP, hoothoot used hypnosis and failed, my zubat used struggle (as intended) then out of nowhere hoothoot used struggle. After zubat fainted hoothoot started attacking normally again. I'm sorry for not being able to explain this better.
I'm playing the last beta Rangi published on June 26 (beta d0b3f97) on my psp with Masterboy 3.0 emulator (is really similar to android ones I have read somewhere).

Rangi, FIQ and everyone working on this rom keep up with this great work, this rom is great and is one of the best hack I have ever played and I've played a lot (Dark Energy was my favorite but now Polished Crystal is).

Hey just curious, will we be able to store all phone numbers as seen in HG/SS at any point? I never got to play far enough into build 2.2.0 to know but I figured I would ask. It would help a lot if its possible.

Last I checked, there is more space for phone numbers, but there are also more phone numbers in the game compared to vanilla Crystal so you still can't store all of them. It's definitely doable to add all the numbers and save space by rewriting the phone system to use a bitfield?Rangi has already done so with the TM pocket?but Rangi is understandably a bit cautious about implementing it because of the difficulty with rewriting things that deal with RNG. I can't remember if they said it's going to be considered for 4.0 or not at all.

I think there's a bug with Frisk...My Sentret detects Gold Leaves on Bellsprouts but when I catch them they don't have any items...

Rain of Shiny pkms!! :)
My God!! Arcanine looks so fucking awesome!! Great Work Rangi!
I know, I know it's normal to have a Shiny Gyarados hahaha {XD}

I figured I'd ask, thats good to note for 4.0 at least.

One more question, I was not able to catch suicune at tin tower, but as rangi said in the intro post, if that happens it respawns after beating the league and is roaming, by roaming does rangi mean you must find the overworld sprite and chase it around again or roaming like entei and raikou? and on top of that, if it is roaming like entei and raikou, is it in johto or kanto?

Roaming like Entei and Raikou in Johto

then rangi should probably fix the error in the pokedex of suicune's nest after beating the pokemon league not showing, It would make sense for suicune to show up as you technically have already seen itso like after finding raikou and entei the first time, it should have a nest indicator, I usually try to catch entei and raikou on route 36 or 37

i commented about it earlier, but i really can't get through surges puzzle. the switches don't seem to be next to each other whatsoever, can anyone thats gotten past it in 3.0s beta help me out?

Hi Rangi!
After caught Suicune, during the battle against Valerie few minutes ago, her battle music sounds a Little weird (Compared to what we could hear in 2.2.0), Just check it out if you're not aware of it. I mean, I don't know if it was intencional o not.
