v1.0.

By Major Agnostic
 Introduction
The goal of this ROM hack is to be the ultimate Pokemon Crystal experience for
fans, a faithful yet ambitious remake: the same Pokemon in the same world, but the
game is more playable, balanced and challenging. There is an expanded main questline
in Kanto to account for the lack of story there, as well as brand new side quests, all
inspired from the game’s existing lore and characters. There are also many QoL
improvements, from music to sprite work to brand new features and battle system
upgrades!
Just about everything is viable now due to a thorough revision of moves, typing,
learnsets, base stats, and Pokemon availability. The game’s challenge has been
increased by revamping the level curve and adding to trainer parties custom moves,
DVs and stat experience, as well as providing a greater variety and number of Pokemon
and moves to their teams.
More or less empty locations in the original game such as Ilex Forest, Ice Path
and Victory Road (to say nothing of Kanto) now have extra trainers and items. I have
also taken some liberties to spice up and rebalance gameplay, such as type changes to
over a dozen Pokemon and type matchup changes inspired from other gens to balance
out Poison and Steel.
Understandably, some players may find that some of these changes stray too far
from what they want from this type of hack, so I made a Classic version that removes
most base stat changes, all Pokemon typing and type matchup changes and all
evolution level changes (except for Magikarp and Grimer), among others. The specific
differences for the Classic version will be noted in this documentation using the
highlighted Classic tag.
Note that SPOILERS are highlighted in black; to view them, simply highlight the
text with your cursor or paste it into some other text field. As well, if the location of an
item or TM is NOT mentioned in this doc, assume that it is found in its original Crystal
location. Finally, to access the hack files, my Discord channel and YouTube channel,
please refer to the Files & Resources section of this document. Enjoy!
New and Improved Features

System
● Hold B to run
● Saving is now almost instantaneous
● Options: menu account off, set, stereo, and fast text by default
● Added approximately 90 new trainers!
● Evening has been added as a new time of day, thanks to Rangi’s github tutorial!
Evening is from 5PM - 8PM (meaning day is one hour shorter and night now
starts at 8PM instead of 6PM) and features a warm orange glow as well as most
of the game’s night features and events, such as Buena’s Password and Eevee
evolving into Umbreon (now starts at 5PM). Dialogue has been changed to
reflect evening and the new night themes will also play during the evening as
well, thanks to TriteHexagon’s tutorial! Note that Officers and the PokeFan on
Route 39 still only fight you at night
● Restored Battle Tower; BT now features only 2 level tiers: 50 and 100 (available
only after Hall of Fame). Ubers can be used for tier 100 and opponents at that
level will also have access to them. New BT battle music and BT Pokemon have
been revised and rebalanced
● Improved rematch system: rematch trainers will automatically offer their phone
number after first battling them, rather than requiring you to talk to them again.
Also, rematch parties increase in level at more reasonable intervals and the
trigger for their upgrades is simply the fly points you've unlocked or events
completed, so no more fight count requirements to increase their levels
● There is now an in-battle weather indicator to let you know when weather is
active
● Mystery Gift is now obtained automatically after defeating the E4 (to later unlock
new title screen)
● TMs are reusable and cannot be sold, and their methods of acquisition have
been optimized
● Nutrients can now be used up to about 54k stat exp
● Added a Move Reminder (Olivine and Blackthorn City)
● The Hidden Power man now tells you your Pokemon’s HP type
● Shinies: Pokemon with DVs of 12 or higher in every stat (except HP; it's not
factored into shininess or HP type) are shinies, which yields a shiny rate of 1/256,
based on popular request; now you know that a shiny Pokemon will be good!
● Gender is no longer determined by Attack DVs (so you can now get female
shinies; kudos to those who contributed to the pret tutorial)
● Added gen 1 move tutors in Celadon City and the Goldenrod City tutor has been
revised: he now appears after beating Pryce (Elm will tell you during the call)
every day of the week except Sunday, only charges 400 coins per move, now
also teaches Rock Slide, and there is no daily limit on learning moves
● Instead of losing half of your money when you whiteout, you lose money based
on a modified version of the formula in later gens (based on number of badges
and highest level Pokemon)
● The Pokedex’s search function now ignores whether you own a Pokemon or not
● Fishing rods will never fail to get a nibble
● The lottery can now be done daily (thanks to Idain's tut)
● Kurt’s Balls: Kurt no longer takes a day to make balls, just talk to him again, and
many balls have been fixed (see Bug Fixes)
○ Heavy Ball: now subtracts 20 from catch rate for Pokemon weighing below
50.4 kg, does not affect catch rate for those between 50.4 kg and 102.4
kg, adds 20 between 102.5 kg and 204.7 kg, adds 30 between 204.8 kg
and 307.1 kg, and adds 40 for those weighing over 307.1 kg
○ Fast Ball: x4 catch rate multiplier on all fleeing Pokemon (as originally
intended; a few additions to fleeing Pokemon such as Abra) except x8 for
those that always flee (now includes Eevee in addition to the legendary
beasts)
○ Lure Ball: x4 multiplier instead of x3 (code from Idain)
 ○ Love Ball: Now works on opposite gender Pokemon of the same egg
group rather than same species, but x4 multiplier instead of x8 (code from
Idain)
○ Friend Ball: Sets starting happiness at 150 instead of 200

Graphics and Music

● Tons of updated sprites: restored censored Japanese trainer sprites, new battle
and overworld sprites for many gym leaders and major characters, and unique
overworld sprites for Pokemon and Surfing (thanks to Polished Crystal). New
Rocket and admin sprites primarily from SirWhibbles
● Trainer card: badges are now in colour and better-looking and the tops of the
leaders’ heads are no longer cut off. Added a 3rd trainer card page for the Kanto
badges (code and pngs adapted from Sour and Polished Crystal), accessible
only once you obtain one, and you can flip through pages in any direction
● Party menu icons in colour for EVERY Pokemon in the game (doll sprites are in
colour too); see Credits section. These include different palettes for shinies
(visible in the nickname screen!) and if an egg contains a shiny Pokemon, it’ll be
blue instead of red!
● The above menu icons also replace the more generic overworld sprites (in colour
as well); credit to Polished Crystal for the Rattata and Clefairy overworld sprites
● Roof palettes changed to reflect each city’s colour/theme
● Overworld grass is now of a more pleasant green than lime
● Updated some of the Gym Leader and special trainer sprites, in-battle and
overworld (mostly thanks to Soloo993)
● New battle HUD by Idain + red caught poke ball and gender symbols by KDL Pro
● New overworld and in-battle ball sprites and capture animation (sprites from
Polished and modified by Idain, animation and other HUD improvements by me)
● Pokemon palette changes: Many Pokemon palettes were revised, both default
and shiny. Here are some examples: Onix now has an ice blue shiny palette,
reminiscent of Crystal Onix from the anime, Articuno has a violet shiny palette,
 similar to its Galarian form, and Charizard has a dark grey and red shiny palette,
similar to gen 3+
● New back sprites by FrenchOrange: Grimer and Marowak
● Rocket trainers now have a unique battle transition animation (thanks to KDLPro
and Idain)
● Overworld item sprite improved (based on Polished Crystal’s sprite)
● Additional music to spice up and accent certain moments in the game: e.g. RBY
Indigo Plateau theme is the Route 28/Mt Silver theme (by Mmmmmm), Zinnia’s
themes (also by Mmmmmm) used for Andrea (new superboss), and the SS Aqua
theme was replaced with Pigu’s SS Anne theme from TPP Anniversary Crystal
● Added night themes for all outdoor areas as well as some Kanto themes that
were omitted from gen 2 (such as Cerulean, Cinnabar, Viridian Forest (restored)
and Route 25) courtesy of TriteHexagon
● Surfing Pikachu is now always red, regardless of player gender
● Surf music and some surfing wild encounters have been removed so as to not
interrupt music (such as Lugia's Song in Lugia's chamber) and because it may be
jarring when transitioning from the mellow night themes
● Gold (previously Cal) and Crystal (new Trainer House trainer) play the RSE rival
battle theme, Battle Tower fights use the Cipher Peon theme, while Red now
plays (SPOILERS) the RBY Champion theme and an extra trainer before Red
plays the Brendan and Hoenn Champion themes (Mmmmmm)
● Some legendary battle themes have been changed: the Kanto legendaries, Ho-
Oh and Lugia have new themes by Pigu and Raikou and Entei share Suicune’s
battle theme

Items
● Max number of items in the "Items" Pack slot has been increased from 20 to 40
● A Medicine pocket (thanks to Rangi’s tutorial) has been added with a capacity of
40 as well. Note that you can no longer give items to Pokemon using the Pack
menu; it must be done via the party menu
● Max number of phone contacts has been increased from 10 to 25
 ● Added a Pocket PC (can deposit Pokemon and change boxes on the go!)
● Item effect changes:
○ Lucky Punch now ups Blissey’s crit ratio instead of Chansey’s
○ Gold Berry now heals 20 HP
○ Ragecandybar acts like a berry and now heals 30 HP
○ Mysteryberry now restores 10 instead of 5 PP
○ Gold Berry Juice has been added, which restores 140 HP
● Berry trees now drop two berries instead of one
● TM Roar is now Teleport
● Increased item availability (see Notable Item Locations section), such as type-
boosting and other held items (many can be stolen from strong trainers),
evolutionary stones, berries, decorations, etc. In fact, every item from the original
game is now obtainable, including decorations, through normal play
● Type-boosting items like Dragon Fang (which has been fixed and Dragon Scale
no longer has this effect) now provide a 20% boost, like in the newer games, and
some previously useless items now sell for a lot of money, such as the Leafs

Difficulty and Balancing

● The stat boost obtained from badges has been removed in order to even the
playing field
● Improved level curve, which can be gleaned from the ‘Boss Trainer Level
Ranges’ subsection. In addition, the section of the story between Ecruteak City
and the Radio Tower events has been given a more linear level curve (as has
Kanto) rather than the stagnant/flat one where most of the trainers in this section
are around the same level
○ To help with this, the guard in the gate area east of Ecruteak now turns
you back if you have less than 6 badges; despite this restriction, Chuck
and Jasmine can still be fought in either order. You may also still go to
Blackthorn City prior to completing the Radio Tower
● Trainer parties have been buffed with higher levels, more variety, custom DVs,
stat exp, and even held items
 ● Many Pokemon base stats have been revised in order to increase viability and
balance the game (most are omitted from Classic; See the Base Stats section)
● Many moves have been revised, HM Moves are much more useful, and learnsets
have been expanded (e.g. most Fire-types now learn Flash, which has been
buffed!)
● The gym leader disobedience levels are now hard level caps (thanks to Idain’s
helpful tutorial) for all Pokemon: 30 (start), 40 (after Bugsy), 50 (Morty), 60
(Chuck), 75 (Clair), 100 (first E4 win)
● Hidden Power always has a power of 70, but type is still determined the same
way
● Type and matchup changes (all omitted from Classic): Poison is now super
effective against Bug, and Ghost/Dark hit Steel for neutral damage like in later
gens. Sudowoodo is now Rock/Grass, Sunflora is Grass/Fire, Politoed is Water/
Grass, Gyarados (who now evolves from Magikarp at level 30) is pure Dragon
(shiny and default sprite palettes have been swapped to highlight this), Corsola is
pure Ice (palettes have also been swapped), Meowth/Persian are pure Dark
(palettes have also been swapped and slightly modified), Girafarig is Dark/
Psychic, Magcargo is pure Fire, Smeargle is Ghost/Normal, Cloyster is Water/
Ghost, Charizard is Fire/Dragon, Blastoise is Water/Steel and Marill/Azumarill are
Water/Normal, Octillery is Water/Dark
● The Elite Four is stronger after obtaining all 16 badges and cannot be rematched
until that time
● Set battle style is forced for Lance and post-Hall of Fame boss trainers, including
all Kanto gym leaders and the entire E4 rematch, and a few special trainers force
both Set and no Pack access

Miscellaneous QoL
● All original 251 Pokemon are obtainable in-game (there are also two additions,
one of which can be caught (except in Classic)), all Johto Pokemon are available
in Johto regions and all non-legendary/starter/baby Johto Pokemon can be
obtained before the Pokemon League
● New quests and new scenes for existing quests to flesh out the world of
Pokemon Crystal (see “New/Updated Side Quests” and “Map and Quest
Changes” for details)
● Gym guides give useful hints for each gym leader’s roster, moveset or strategy
● In-game trades have been revised:
○ Violet: You now receive (SPOILERS) a Crystal Onix
○ Olivine: Trade a male Kingler for a Farfetch'd (DUX) instead of a Voltorb
and it comes with a Stick
○ Blackthorn: Trade a female Dragonair for a Pupitar instead of a Dodrio
○ Route 14: Chansey is now received (instead of traded) in exchange for a
Nidoking and comes with a Miracleberry
○ Traded Pokemon now have higher DVs and most are shiny
○ NOTE: Trading is still possible via Pokemon Yellow, allegedly
● You can now Fly to Battle Tower, Mt Moon Square and Rock Tunnel; also, you
can fly from all outdoor areas (including Goldenrod Dept Store Roof and Celadon
Mansion Roof), and cross-region Fly can be unlocked
● Ultra Balls now have a catch rate of 2.5x instead of 2x
● Pokemon Center: Dialogue is now shorter and the player automatically turns
around after
● The Lake of Rage Magikarp House minigame has been fixed so that Magikarp
found in the Lake are bigger than usual
● You will now be automatically prompted to reuse Repels of a given type once
they expire
● "ATK" in Move menu (from party menu) is now "POW" for power
● Catching Pokemon now yields exp
● Route 34 map changes to make breeding more convenient
● Odd egg improvements: obtained at level 10 instead of 5, good DVs are
guaranteed, there’s a 33% chance to get a shiny, it only takes 10 egg cycles to
hatch, and the odds of getting a given Pokemon vary less (all are 15% other than
Tyrogue at 10%)
● Togepi egg only takes 5 cycles to hatch instead of 10
 ● Mom no longer explains how the PokeGear works if you say that you know how
to use it and the items she buys with your money have changed (e.g. Clefairy doll
now purchasable at Mt Moon) and she buys many dolls that were previously
restricted to Mystery Gift)
● Mom now leaves decorations and items as gifts to pick up in your room after
certain important story milestones (she’ll call you). E.g., SPOILERS: once you
get your first badge you’ll find a Pikachu Poster
● Decoration carpeting now covers your entire room (thanks to Rangi’s tutorial)

Evolution
● Pokemon that evolved via trade evolution now do so with items from the Pack:
○ Fire Stone: Machamp
○ Water Stone: Slowking
○ Leaf Stone: Politoed
○ Thunderstone: Steelix
○ Moon Stone: Golem, Gengar, Alakazam
○ Sun Stone: Scizor
○ Dragon Scale (now used like evolutionary stones): Kingdra
○ Up-Grade (now used like evolutionary stones): Porygon2
● Evolution level changes (omitted from Classic except for Magikarp and Grimer):
Chikorita and Cyndaquil lines have swapped evolution levels to help players
facing Falkner with Chikorita under a level cap; Slowpoke now evolves into
Slowbro at level 34 instead of 37; Drowzee evolves at 31 instead of 26; Abra
evolves at 26 instead of 16; Magikarp evolves at 30 instead of 20; Wooper
evolves at 24 instead of 20; Houndour at level 42; and Grimer at 37 instead of 38
(for gym cap)
● Friendship evolution occurs at 200 happiness rather than 220
New/Updated Side Quests
Note that there are many changes to existing quests; see “Map and Quest Changes” for
all details. Also, SPOILERS AHEAD!

● New Areas: Not so much quests, but I restored Viridian Forest, Seafoam Islands
and added a lot to Blaine’s Gym. Also, I added new maps in Fuchsia for the new
main story quest (new Roughneck trainer, sprites from Polished)
● Legendaries: Celebi event restored and Kanto legendaries are all obtainable (see
“Legendary Encounters” (SPOILERS) for details)
● Ruins of Alph: Obtaining all Unown variants (which now appear with equal
frequency) now nets you the Unown Doll upon speaking to one of the Ruins
researchers. You can now find all 3 fossil Pokemon in their respective chambers
● Goldenrod City: Once you’ve met him in Ecruteak and received Eevee, Bill will
offer you a Pocket PC prototype in exchange for a Soft Sand (don’t worry, there’s
more than one Soft Sand in the game)
● Saffron City: The Fighting Dojo now features a side quest that you can start once
you get the Brick Piece
● Route 16: Added a new side quest that unlocks cross-region Fly
● Lavender Town: New side quest from the elderly woman in the Soul House

bosses with full teams of level 100s: Red (Rematch), Lance (Seafoam Islands),
Andrea (Rock Tunnel; must also obtain the Diploma first). The latter two bosses
only reset once you defeat Red again
Base Stat Changes

parentheses are not final forms and the stat format is: hp, atk, def, sp atk, sp def, spd.
The first set shows stats changed for regular Ultimate, the second set for Ultimate
Classic. The stat changes in Ultimate Classic are only those that I considered necessary
for viability.

Learnset Changes
Notes on learnset changes:
● Learnsets are listed by evolutionary line; if no Pokemon are specified in a
change, the change applies to the entire line
● Many learnsets now include crucial moves that were previously event-only
 ● I didn't bother listing EVERY change since some are simply a matter of adjusting
levels slightly (I use the term 'rearrange'), such as Tangela learning Stun Spore
three levels later. If you want to see the actual learnset tables, check out the
#data-tables channel in my Discord server
● Changes to Kanto Pokemon learnsets are listed in the Johto section if a Pokemon
in their family line is a new/Johto Pokemon (e.g. Scyther’s changes are listed with
Scizor’s in the Johto section). Other than this exception, all family lines are listed
by the first form’s name

Economy
The economy has been revamped in order to incentivize the player to be more selective
with their purchases and there is now a greater variety of items to be purchased.

Mart Changes:
Prices have mostly increased across the board to incentivize resource management
and contribute to the difficulty increase:
● Essential restorative items: Potion price has not changed, Super Potion/Energy
Powder are ~1.3x, Hyper Potion,Energy Root and Max Potion are about x1.5
● Drinks are more expensive, but still a better deal than regular and herbal
restoratives: Fresh Water $650, Soda Pop $750, Lemonade $900, Moomoo Milk
$1000 (purchasable by the dozen)
● Status-healing items (not counting Full Heal/Restore) have increased by 1.5-2x in
price
● Non-essential restorative items (e.g. Full Heal/Restore, Heal Powder, Revive,
Revival Herb) have increased in price by 2-2.5x
● Non-essential miscellaneous items: Battle items (e.g. X-Accuracy) increased by
2-3x, all Repels x2, Escape Rope and Poke Doll by 1.5x
● Nutrients are now $2000 each due to the higher cap and trainers having stat exp.
This is helpful for when you catch a new Pokemon, since it'll be behind in terms
of stat exp, which can be crippling later into a Nuzlocke)
● Poke Balls are half price and Great Balls are slightly cheaper ($400)
● TM prices have increased significantly because they are now reusable. TMs 02
(Headbutt) and 08 (Rock Smash) can no longer be purchased from the
Goldenrod Dept Store. TM 10 (Hidden Power) and the weather TMs are no
longer sold in Celadon. TM 32 (Double Team) can now be purchased from the
 Celadon Dept Store. TMs 14, 25, and 38 (Blizzard, Thunder, and Fire Blast) are
now found throughout Kanto

treasures sell for more, and more of them are found throughout your adventure
● Treasures: Nuggets now sell for $7500 and other treasures sell for more than
before
● Bargains:
○ Goldenrod Dept Store Rooftop Sale: items and prices have been adjusted
and all nutrients are available every sale ($1500 each during the sale)

making minigame where you fish for Pearls and Big Pearls, one of the best ways
to get money in the game
● Game Corner:
○ Can now buy 2500 coins at a time for $50k

Trainer and Battle Changes

AI & Battle System Upgrades

● See the Bug/Glitch/Oversight Fixes section for all of the battle-related fixes
● AI: Every trainer now has the smarter AI used by ‘boss trainers’ and their 25%
chance to miss status moves has been removed, along with some bugs (see the
‘Bug Fixes’ section), and challenging trainers now switch and use items more
often. As well, the AI has been improved; among other things: Solarbeam and
multi-hit moves are better used by AI, the AI is more likely to use OHKO moves if
your evasion has been lowered and OHKO moves no longer miss if used against
a higher-level opponent; AI no longer uses status moves on a Substitute, is likely
to swap out if a stat other than spd has been significantly lowered, all trainers
swap out at a Perish count of 1, AI factors in move power when assessing type
matchup for switching, Thief is now used by the AI, etc.
● Text has been improved when using status or substatus moves on a Substitute or
an already-statused opponent and missing these moves due to failing the
accuracy check will print “attack missed” text rather than “didn’t affect”
● King’s Rock now applies to all moves, including those that already flinch
● Weather: Like Sandstorm (and like in gen 3+), Rain Dance and Sunny Day now
fail when used while the same weather is already in effect. Rock Slide never
misses during a Sandstorm, like Thunder when it’s raining. Sandstorm raises
Rock-types’ Sp Def by 50% (like in gen 4+, thanks to Idain’s tut)
● Grass-type Pokemon are now immune to Spore, Stun Spore and Sleep Powder
● Fire-type Pokemon are immune to the modified Fire Spin (aka Will-O-Wisp)
● Synthesis, Morning Sun and Moonlight are no longer affected by the time of day.
Harsh sunlight will cause Synthesis and Morning Sun (rain for Moonlight) to
restore ⅔ HP and any other weather effect = ⅓ HP restored. If there is no
weather effect, ½ HP is restored
 ● Sleep: Now lasts 2-3 turns, including in Battle Tower (like newer gens - thanks to
Idain)
● Freeze: Now a 20% chance to defrost per turn (like gen 3+) rather than 10%
● X-Acc now just raises accuracy by one stage
● Custom Parties: Trainers now have a greater variety of Pokemon and much
stronger teams with custom DVs and stat experience, in addition to the more
challenging level curve. Boss trainers also have held items and meta-lite
movesets as the game progresses

Kanto
Note that the order of progression in Kanto has been changed up a bit. The intended
progression (as reflected by trainer levels and the badges page) is: Vermilion > Route 6/
Route 8/Celadon (passing through Saffron, can get Pass right away, but no gym;
Cycling Road and Lavender’s western entrance are blocked off) > Cerulean > Restore
power > Defeat Misty > Rock Tunnel > Lavender. Upon reaching Lavender, the
remaining gyms can be tackled in any order (except for Blue being last) as all roads are/
can be unblocked at this point, but the intended order is Fuchsia <-> Saffron > Pewter >
Cinnabar > Viridian. Note that Janine can only be challenged upon completing the new
Fuchsia City quest

warning

you a PP Up, Snorlax is now level 80, and a Leftovers can be found in the gym

badges

Curse and tells you about a superboss, Erika no longer gives TM Giga Drain

to the Mart has been removed, added a Pnk Apricorn tree and a Rare Candy

gate now gives an Exp Share if you’ve caught at least 100 Pokemon; berry tree

Bug/Glitch/Oversight Fixes
The following is a list of bug fixes and improvements to flaws that were intentional:

are open, like in Gold/Silver
● The artificial delay during saving has been removed, so the process is now much
faster
● King’s Rock now applies to all damaging moves

beeps 4x now
● BRN/PAR/PSN now increase catch rate and FRZ/SLP further increase it, as
intended
● False Swipe/Barrage are greatly discouraged by the AI when the player’s HP is
below 25% to avoid trying to faint the player Pokemon with these moves
● Dragon Fang now has its original intended effect of boosting Dragon-type moves
by 10%

work as intended; Moon Ball also works on the new Moon Stone evos
● Belly Drum no longer raises Attack despite HP being too low
● Berserk Gene's confusion now works properly

unnecessary anti-incest quirk)

larger than others, rather than smaller

condition it had when it fainted

badly poisoned, rather than the enemy

Ditto

Playthrough Tips
The following is a list of general tips for your playthrough of Ultimate:
● Talk to every gym guide as they have new tips
● Don't evolve Pokemon right away; sometimes postponing a level will get you a
good move earlier than if you evolved right away (especially useful if you're
playing with level caps)
 ● EXPLORE: you can get Unown and Kabuto by exploring the Ruins of Alph as
soon as you get there (both very useful at that point) and you can also find more
treasures now, especially early game, which will help with cash (especially for
Nuzlockes). There are also new quests that reward curious players
● Save with your Mom from the get-go; she gets you pretty good items, including
an early Moon Stone
● To unlock decoration items (such as the ones you pick up in your room), use
them from the pack and you can then access them from your room's PC
● Look up a move before not bothering to teach it to your Pokemon simply because
it was bad in the original game; there's a good chance it's much better now
● Cheaper nutrients (now 2k instead of 9.8k) help with keeping up with the stat exp
curve, especially when grinding up a new Pokemon in Nuzlockes
● If you're in Kanto and in need of cash, check out the new Cloyster Hoister
minigame in Fuchsia City

Credits
I would like to credit the following people who helped me in the process of creating this
hack and learning about asm and Crystal disassembly hacking (which wouldn't exist
without iiMarckus and co's work on the project). First of all, the fine pret folks that form
the backbone of the pokecrystal github community, including Rangi (made countless
great tutorials and Polished Crystal), others who made tutorials (such as growlie777),
Seasick, Electro, ax6, Idain (also gave me his tailless Slowpoke sprite and I adapted his
Hidden Power Guru code, among other credits mentioned in this document),
i0brendan0, potato, TriAttackDev, TriteHexagon (created the night themes and helped
me integrate them and contributed other music), Stan40 (title screen), and Mmmmmm
and Pigu (many music themes). Thank you to ChattyCrystal for the files for the gen 3
Pokemon added and Nuukiie for the gen 7 one added, SirWhibbles for Lance’s second
in-battle sprite, which SailorShirayuki improved upon, and French Orange for back
sprites, Lance’s overworld sprite and touching up Clair’s, which I’ve modified slightly,
giving tips for improving the title screen’s Celebi sprite, and Karate King (Molly helped
FrenchOrange with this one).
I’d also like to especially thank Seasick, KDLPro and Idain, who helped quite a bit
with some coding issues for some of the QoL changes and have been good friends and
collaborators. As well, these fine folks made the unique icons I use for every Pokemon
in the game (except Metagross’ by blood/quilchess, Bayleef and Egg by Idain, and a few
that I modified):

Finally, I extend much gratitude to the members of my Discord community who

have supported me and given feedback throughout the ongoing development process,
namely Jason Biggson/Ben&Co, Silky Shine, Idain, Sir Kitten Tavo, Ping Pong, Vamsi,
KingCoocuroo, Jassu, No_Honor, FyodorVoynich, and knight13117 (these last four
helped notably with testing and feedback), Azurot, Animage, and KDLPro.
