Pokemon Complete Crystal
by kapparill of PokeCommunity​

Hello everyone, I'd like to share with you all my decompilation hack of Pokemon Crystal which I had started back in 2020 and have worked at on and off since, Pokemon Complete Crystal
Pokemon Complete Crystal is designed as a refresh of the original Pokemon Crystal experience, whilst not feeling like an entirely different game.

Why Pokemon Complete Crystal?
So why this hack and not any of the others? Well...

• New locations (routes, dungeons, soon towns)
• New music (fan favourites)
• New features (B2W2 repels, instant text speed, running shoes)
• New events (more coming soon)
• New challenges (fixed AI, better levelling)
• New experiences (new palettes, tilesets, interface graphics and more)

​

Not only that, but this is an ambitious project - a lot of thought and care has been put into designing each location, new and old, so that everyone will enjoy it!

My favourite redesign, Goldenrod City:

Bug Fixes

• moon ball glitch
• heavy ball glitch
• fast ball glitch
• love ball glitch
• mean look AI glitch
• status condition catch rate glitch
• other bugs relating to memory

Yep, specifically the 1.0 ROM. I'm releasing up to Ecruteak in the next week or so, but don't worry about save files as it should still be compatible.

Update... really enjoying map design and colours... let me know what you think.

Does this support changing the time and date without having to jump through all those ridiculous hoops? Like Crystal Clear?

 

[Inner Rhymes]

I'm very keen on giving this a spin actually. I do have a question, how far along does the current demo go? Does it have the Kanto post game as well? Thanks!

The map improvements, dialogue changes, new areas and trainer/wild pokemon changes extend to Goldenrod, but all trainers right now have level increases or are unchanged to better the curve, although this is subject to change. The whole game is complete-able, but no tweaks have been made specifically to parts after Goldenrod as of now. However, I appreciate your enthusiasm of the hack!

Np, but that's a great suggestion and I will see if I can implement in the same way. I'll try to get in contact with the developer😀

This looks awesome, looking forward to this. Any plans for 60fps? Just wondering

Looks good!
Is it complete? Or there's still much work?

Not complete but you can beat the game with a few tileset issues. and thanks!

So Kurt's saw won't work for so I can't cut down trees.

Question about the rom: can you get trade evos to their final form and how?

 

[tadashi89]

Have you tried this patch in your hack for resetting the RTC?

I was trying to patch a 1.0 rom, but evry patcher I tried they say that there a compression problem..

 

[Christhegent901]

Hey I'm playing this game now and it looks like once you get to Eukrete town the roof of the burned tower is blocking the entrance into it. Anyway to bypass this?

 

[kapparill]

I'm working on releasing a fix patch for Ecruteak.
