Crystal hack: Pokemon Sour Crystal (improvement hack)

I believe there's one in Dark Cave, Route 45 side. Just finished playing through this and I believe that's where I remember finding it.

Overall, really awesome hack. I really like the improvements to the Kanto portion in particular. Only complaints I have really are, like ericgall23 said, I'd have liked to have seen some improvements to the trainers in the Johto portion as well like in HeartGold/SoulSilver. The Gym Leaders and other "important" trainers like the Rival battles and Rocket Executive battles in particular. Also, would be nice to be able to catch the Starter Pokemon. Lastly, something else that would be cool, if possible, is updated Rematch battles with the Elite Four like in HG/SS and other games. That's all pretty minor stuff overall though IMO. Like I said, this hack is really awesome overall and I thoroughly enjoyed playing through it
 
I'm about to start playing this game. Are there any type changes/ stat buffs like in other similar hacks?
 
I didn't see information on if this hack is a 251 hack. If it is, that's amazing. I'm downloading regardless.

Also, a suggestion: Make Splash lower its opponents accuracy. That way, Magikarp isn't completely useless. Maybe lower the PP to 20 and make the move's base accuracy 90 or something.

Hello, first I would like to say thank you for the hack.

I found some minor issues.
1. After a new pokemon is caught, the pokedex text skips page 1 and shows page 2 directly.
2. It seems trainer rematches will not level up, but use their original level of pokemons instead.
 
Good one, specially the Kanto level up and the old/new places like Cinnabar Mansion! I didn't have to keep Water pokémon for using Surf/Waterfall/Whirlpool. Great!

I miss a run button, second E4, better rival battle on Mt. Moon and RBY Mt. Moon.

A bit strange to include Whirlpool on PSS, but make Waterfall working just having the badge.

Bug: There are some Kanto trainers without level increase like Schoolboy Kipp using Lv27 Voltorb.

Unfortunately it isn't.
 
Hi! That's an amazing hack, I'm having a ton of fun playing it! However, I've noticed that a few moves still retain their original unchanged proprieties. Razor Wind, for example, is still only 75% accurate as opposed to its 100% accuracy on Gen 3 and beyond. Leech Life also only has 20BP instead of 80 on Gen 7 + and Kinesis is supposed to lower the opponent's accuracy by 2 stages instead of just one, hence why it has lower accuracy and PP in comparison to Flash, for example.

I found a sprite bug in olivine tower. Ampharos with wrong sprite. Its using The same sprite as Silver... But when u give The potion it becomes The right ampharos sprite.
Also in cianwood theres a sign pointing to "yellow forest" lol and a npc inside The cave talking about yellow forest too
Theres another sign near safari zone that isnt showing words its blank
- you can get another Quick claw in cliff edge. I think it isnt worth because u get one in Park with The persian girl. Maybe change for another good item.
First time you enter in the safari building.. There two guys.. When u talk to the one to enter for 500$.. He Will move up to the guy next to The door.. When u leave.. And enter again The second guy is gone forever. Its weird.. Just saiying.
- there are grimers appearing into The water when u use surf in marsh zone. Weird lol

My PAGER doesnt have The summon Page.. Where i can take it? I started a New save file before this New update. Can u help me? Didnt used cheats
---
Thank you for addind mini sprites. Gave The game a fresh New Air. Next updates can u add vanilla places from rby. MT moon? I think theres not much to add

- add function to automatic add Phone aftr battle
- make gyms a bit more challeging like bugsy ass team and others. Jasmine two magnemites change for another poke like sandslash i dont know. Change same pokemon for another one to diversify

Thank you for taking the time to report all this.

First of all, the errors with the safari wardens and the ampharos sprite are related to broken save files. There should never be 2 wardens so this will auto correct itself when you first play the safari game.

The ampharos sprite is due to this update's shifting of the event flags. The only way for it to work correctly is to make a new save file. However its just a visual oddity and will repair itself when the event is complete.

Thanks for reporting that blank sign, I have fixed that and the remaining references to yellow forest.

The quick claw has been changed to a Silver Powder now.

Grimer being found in the water is intentional. Grimer is found in murky/dirty water in several official games including HGSS's Safari Zone.

The Pager system is given to you by professor Elm, if you did not receive it after you gave him the mystery egg then you will need to create a new save file as your previous save must have missed that.

The phone system and an extra difficulty setting will be added in a future update.
As for Mt.Moon, I will give it some thought.

If you really need to use your current save file, please send it to me and I will fix it.

Oh Yes. No problem. I restarted a fresh one. My bad. The emulator created two save files in different folder. So it loaded at beggining The vanilla one.

The New one. Its working like a charm.
After this suggestions. Can u add a move releaner?

Thank you
 
Any hint on how to encounter Mew? I've been through the Pokemon Mansion a couple times now but haven't been able to figure anything out.
 
Hi BlazingMagmar, sorry to ask but I really want to play your hack and I need to know: is the next update near or will it be later in the future? Are you going to add following pokemon like in crystal clear? that would be great! Thanks a lot for the answer
 
Please add also a possibility to get the remaining starter Pokemon and the fossil Pokemon aswell. Maybe as a Reward or gift Pokemon to keep them unique. The main thing is that they are somehow available.
