I know it definitely is a special game but I also know nine-and-a-half-year-old Chris well enough to realised I'd have loved it even if it wasn't. Remembering what it's like to be nine-and-a-half, and the weird, golden hour fuzz it glazes everything with, makes it very difficult for me to figure out why Pokémon Crystal is such a special game. Permit me to really overcommit to a point here: as humans, we are probably closest to Pokémon when we're about nine-and-a-half.įor me, that very specific age is tied very specifically to my memories of Pokémon Crystal, a game which, after roughly 17 years of languishing on old, forgotten cartridges, sees its return to the hands of nine-and-a-half-year-olds today, on the 3DS. It's that weird bit of life you occupy right between having an adult brain and a child's - right after you start to pick up a moral compass that goes beyond just doing what you're told, to a sense of duty or justice, but right before you're really sentient enough to start thinking about why that is. To first playing it, that is, but you could say it probably also fits the mental age of Pokémon themselves, too, in a roundabout way. Clamperl -Moon Stone-> Gorebyss (These last two are for those doing a randomizer nuzlocke that decide to catch these - Clamperl is normally not available in the game.Nine-and-a-half: this is the sort of mental age I ascribe to Pokémon.And there may be something else you can do with Solrock/Lunatone.
Burnygon -Fire Stone-> Burnygon2 -Draco Stone-> Burnygon-Z.Unless specified, a Pokemon evolves at the same level as it's non-edited form, so for example with the starters, this would be 16 and then 32/36. Note that the version here gets updated after any major work is done on the game. While fully playable due to essentially being FireRed version, not all trainer's teams and wild encounters are finalized.(Seeing as one cannot trade Pokemon in this game, and Porygon's type has been changed, there is no need for an Up-Grade to be in the game as an example.) All evo stones, old and new are available in the Celadon department store. New Evolution stones in place of previously useless items.Examples include damage-dealing Electric-type Flash, Giga Drain at it's later-generation stats, Steel-type Cut and more. Certain moves, which in the original FR/LG are awful, have been buffed or changed.New moves, such as Firebreath, Freeze Ray, Magmarock, Iron Slam and more.This number will keep on growing as ideas spout into my mind. These range from simple palette swaps for some, to huge changes on others. Around 200 Pokemon in new alternate forms.Game type: ROMHack (Pokemon FireRed (U) (V1.1) ) A version of FireRed (the story is, due to my relative inexperience with Romhacking for the most part unchanged.) where just about every Pokemon one runs into has been changed to a different form, and if that is not the case it likely will evolve into such a Pokemon. People also like playing around with either Fakemon or Delta/Alolan/Alternate forms of familiar Pokemon. People like playing through Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen.
