Deal with the strange and insane inhabitants of The Island as you explore a series of ruins that were discovered beneath the surface.
It's your 13th birthday, so the government says you're old enough to die in a hole! (It's all in the name of adventure, so it's cool.)
Pick from one of 13 starters and make your way into the depths of The Ruins. Defeat 5 critters and the door will open, and the ruins may give up some of their loot. Do you use it to boost your team or sell it for supplies? As you defeat your instructors at The Site, you'll unlock more ANIMALs in The Ruins as well as more resources for your excursions!
Use a clean, Version 1.1 Pokemon Crystal ROM for patching.
