Crystal hack: Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 3.1.1!)

So, I've been playing a 3.0 patch for a while now, and it's absolutely terrific, but I have an issue with saving not working properly, causing me to lose progress rather often.
Other thing I noticed is that gameplay color crashes in these instances and switching to other games becomes impossible.
Pokemon prism works well on gameplay color, so I think the issue is with polished crystal, but I posted the issue on gameplay color's github as well.
Thank you in advance!
(edit: I just noticed that Prism also loses saves, so it's probably just with gameplay color the issue is)
(2nd edit: No more crashing after I removed Kalos crystal from my drive. Saves still lost (even if I can save the game and load it immediately after it can still disappear later and return me to an earlier save, I would actually like to have that explained to me!). I'm gonna reinstall the app. if that works I'll update it here too.)
(3rd edit: Well, just reinstalling the app seems to have resolved the issue, and the game runs smoother on top of that.)

Could you link to the GitHub issue in question? I'd like to see what is causing the crash. While it doesn't happen on more accurate emulators, maybe the code is doing something weird that I can address to avoid it.

I implemented this a few days ago, a Battle Factory. It can be seen in Vermilion in the latest few versions.

Loving this game a ton!

I'm here to report a bug. When checking the potential value for Venusaur the game freezes. The Venusaur is wonder traded and has the 2nd ability.
 
Hmm, I have noticed all apricorn trees are not growing apricorns, and I dont even get the option to apply mulch. Also several locations dont have wild spawns. Violet Outskirts and the swamp most notably lack any wild pokemon.

Also the museum has no NPCs and I cant revive fossils as such. Is that intentional?

Final thing of note; are the violet outskirts' two houses future features not yet implimented? As I try to enter both and I bounce off the door. I cant even read the sign near the graveyard hut either.
 
What's the justification for making politoed grass/water? I get how blastoise has metal cannons, charizard is a dragon, noctowl is spooky, typhlosion can dig etc.
But what about politoed? Did you really just add grass type on to it because it's green?

It's a green tree frog, whose counterpart Poliwrath got to have a dual-type. Plus with Jumpluff (among others) removed to make room for Porygon-Z, Togekiss, Mismagius, Honchkrow, etc, the game could use another good Grass type. (Although FIQ and darsh are working on expanding the forme system to vary names, dex entries, and cries, which will allow 510 unique Pokémon.)

I can get behind the change now, I was just a little salty after naively trying to thunderbolt one in the battle tower. The only flaw left in this otherwise perfect romhack now is the stupidly powerful berserk gene. Every time an enemy mon comes out holding that thing I just grimace and pray to RNJesus. God forbid it's on a pokemon immune to confusion.

Tangled Feet+Berserk Gene is arguably even stronger. Confusion is only 33% to hit oneself, inherited from 7gen, and Tangled Feet halves accuracy of opponent moves while confused. So your own moves have a 50% of hitting while the opponent has +2 Attack.
 
I dont know any way to search the thread so gonna just ask here:
Where is Valerie? i checked the github for her team levels so im guessing hes somewhere after Pryce but havent been able to locate.
