Crystal hack: QuarantineCrystal [FULL FAKEDEX - 12 GYM+ DEMO OUT NOW!] v. 0.804 - updated 03/02/2024

0.804 update:
  • Typo fixes, dialogue tweaks
  • Minor sprite updates
  • Overworld actions list greatly expanded
  • Two Pokemon have changed types
  • Minor movepool updates to a few Pokemon
 
The previous 0.804 revision had a mistake causing it to build a 4mb rom file. This results in flashcart compatibility breaking and the occurrence of some unwanted bugs. The patch in the mediafire has been revised, the rom is now the proper size, should be ready for the flashcart warriors once again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
 
I've been playing this hack for a few days so far and it's fantastic! There is a small problem, I beaten the fourth badge and got surf, even teaching my water type surf, but I can't surf across the water. I'm not entirely sure if it's a bug or not, but if I need to do something else to be able to surf please tell me! Great hack by the way!

Surf is no longer used to cross water. You'll need a Pokémon that can ferry. Most Pokémon that can use Surf can ferry, but there are a few exceptions (mostly Pokémon that are too small to carry you while swimming), and some Pokémon that can ferry can't learn Surf.
 
Hi guys, I played this hack and... WOW! I loved this game from start to finish! The pokemon designs are gorgeous, and the retro style makes them even better. the retelling of the original story is fitting. I can't wait to play the final version. Congratulations again!
 
I know you want people playing this blind, but I'm wondering if there is a Pokemon that replaces Ditto in mass breeding, or if I have to catch the right gender of certain mons and try to figure out breeding pairs the hard way.

Anyway, been playing this for a week or so now, and it has been fun. Wish it was easier to know the types of some (the Effectiveness shown on moves after you have beaten that mon for the first time in the later generations was a really nice addition since I never memorised many of the later ones), and the inability to look up anything has proven to ruin any challenge (I've been grinding my boxed mons excessively since I don't otherwise know what each could offer, resulting in a few overpowered team members approaching L40 before the third gym), but I've been mostly happy with the game so far.

While I'm still a long way from reaching Kanto, is there mention of what locations are available so far?
 
There is a Ditto analogue. You might be able to guess what it is, since you've gotten up to Goldenrod already. As for Kanto, the demo ends at Celadon; you're blocked off from Cerulean and Fuchsia. Even half-complete, it's still a pretty good postgame.

When I did my first run, I made a spreadsheet to keep track of every Pokemon's type. It was a lot of fun putting it together, so I'd really suggest doing something like that for yourself. I don't think any other hack has given me an experience quite like this one in that regard.

even posting this image goes directly against the wishes of the creators of this hack, if they do not want to provide documentation they do not have to

when you create a entire dex of fakemon the least you can do is to give ppl info if one of them evolve with a stone? or by happiness do you just gave up on that mon?? true they dont have to give info but whats the point of creating a entire fakemon game without info its stupid

It's currently unavailable in the current version, because it was too similar to one of the new legendaries, the Cosmic Whale you get by donating to every shrine.
With some replacements I'm fine with, like getting Rhoco, mud bird or pseudo legendary redesigns, but I wish some had extra vetting or voting for especially since, again, it doesn't seem fair to anons who originally pitched in, even in smallest of ways into said designs.
Also that spritedex is outdated by at least 2 full versions.

It definitely is, which is why I don't feel bad sharing this doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oZZEjVVaxh4miElGS3x2QM8Nrd6Ac-xWKIWzzfcILCI/edit?usp=sharing here, especially since I still think people will play this game blind even with access to a documentation, in fact by giving people the choice they're more likely to respect devs' wishes instead of just getting angry at everything as seen with the person whom you've replied to. I also don't like the devs being originally angry at people, mainly dataminers and compilers, simply because they had a plan to capitalize and make money out of... fanmade... romhack... for Pokemon. But that's on them, game's amazing, at least in it's current state.

Obviously that's just my copy, because I don't want to get original doc shutdown, all credits go to Egg Boy and people listed, but you probably can find the original by checking thread archives, it should have everything up to newest version and be updated regularly.

QUARANTINE CRYSTAL

About the Project

A full fakedex hack!
MASSIVE FEB 2024 UPDATE.
Last updated: 03/02/2024

Patch notes for 0.804:
Spoiler:



This started as an art project by spriter and artist latenightagain back in May 2021, where he began designing a Fakemon dex based off of randomly rolled prompts (the "QuarantineDex" project on 4chan's /vp/). I loved their designs so much I wanted to make a game with them, and eventually a dev team formed and created something special from the fantastic art. The goal of the project is to make the most out of the nasty situation that global quarantine was, so the project started small in scope - just replace gen 2's roster with the fakemon - but grew to become a collaborative effort featuring new trainer sprites, new music, and new areas, a revamped tileset, on top of a mechanical overhaul. Experience an adventure with a brand new Pokedex! You never know what you'll find next!

The current demo is 0.803. This features all of Johto and several cities in Kanto.

To update, you will *always* need to apply the patch to a fresh Crystal 1.1 .GBC file. Never patch anything else. Always save in the first floor of a Pokemon center before updating.

Features

  • 200+ new Pokemon, complete with unique cries and icons.
  • New trainer classes to challenge, new music to listen to, and new areas to explore.
  • An entirely new, revamped tileset.
  • New quests and collectibles, such as Trading Cards.
  • A revamped HM system, learning the moves is no longer required for traversal.
  • Super Gameboy Border, but only for use on emulator BGB.
  • Physical/special split, increased level curve, new and changed moves, and no revives in battle for an enhanced battle experience.
  • QoL changes and bugfixes aplenty - Move reminder, reusable TMs, Gen V+ repel system, exp for catching, berry pocket and expanded bag space, Apricorn Balls functioning properly, day care man waits outside, and more!
  • Important move changes:

FAQ:
Q: Is there a discord?
A: Sure is! https://discord.gg/wcDNGg4RmA

Q: Why are the people blue?
A: You can't just ask someone why they're blue...but Gen 1.5 style, ala Spaceworld demos.

Q: Why is it called Quarantine? Is this political?
A: This project started during the global quarantine, the name stuck.

Q: Why isn't VBA working?
A: Please use BGB or something.

Q: How much is in the demo?

Q: Why is there this one very specific high level wild pokemon early on?
A: Talk to NPCs :)

Q: How do I get rid of the goose?
A: It functions like the Sudowoodo in vanilla Crystal. If you haven't played Vanilla Crystal,
Spoiler:


Q: How do I report a bug?
A: Before reporting a bug please look at the list of known bugs at the bottom of this post. Did you do it? Please do it. Okay, now that you've looked at the list of known bugs, please either post it in the thread or report it in the discord: https://discord.gg/wcDNGg4RmA

Q: An update was released. How do I update my game?
A: Version 0.8 and onwards are not compatible with versions below 0.8. Just repeat the patching process with a fresh copy of Pokemon Crystal 1.1 and make sure your .sav file and new .gbc file have the same filename.
