“losing wooper isn’t devastating but our first loss will never be forgotten”
unown, already forgotten: 😢
"We don't trade lives"
Proceeds to show video of all the traded lives
When an Unown is less than a life
Unown wasn't a loss, it was a sacrifice 🫡
He was unknown in this circumstance
He said loss not death
The unique menu sprites for each pokemon look SO good! I really really deeply appreciate this hack, dude.
FWIW, that wasn't actually us that made them, but another developer who was kind enough to put them out to the public! They look great, don't they?
@@smithplayspokemon Is it the same person who did the ones for Crystal Clear. The following mon was one of my favorite features of that hack.
No one's gonna comment this but I'm going to. The comments of this video are absolutely abysmal. People clearly did not watch TSP's series on exactly why he made this romhack. It is purely an enhancement hack to fix inherent issues with Gen 2 while keeping the same nostalgic experience when GSC initially released. Other romhacks aim for different experiences, and it's okay to like one over the other, but you NEED to understand WHY each one is made.
Also, who CARES if it says "best" in the title. Just a little bias and ego and it doesn't really matter. Be glad that there is another Crystal romhack that is available to enjoy.
The title matters because people are tired of clickbaity youtuber sensationalism. The first video called it the PERFECT Crystal rom hack for example, that comes across as arrogant so when he does it again and calls it the BEST in the second video, it's annoying to say the least.
Recognizing different hacks are aimed at different things is good yes, but that's kind of awkward to do when you're being screamed this is *THE* PERFECT HACK and *THE* BEST HACK in capital letters, that kind of goes against that point.
@@steel5897 Clickbait has always been a thing on CZcams and many creators do it to some degree. If it's truly arrogant and people are actually tired of it, why are people wanting to watch the video and watch people play the romhack? The truth is that many people really don't care about capitalization in a title of a CZcams video and that it doesn't really bother them. If that bothers you, then don't click on the video.
I understand the title and thumbnail are designed to be incredibly clickbaity and that's just the CZcams algorithm. I just don't like how calling it the best romhack really devalues every other romhack and makes it seem like you're putting down the creators of those romhacks.
I will say Crystal Legacy is an incredible hack and it up there among my favourites because it puts so much time and effort into polishing up the gen 2 experience without going all out and making the game into an entirely different game. So many hacks go overboard and while they're still great it makes them feel too different from the originals, which CL avoids and I love that.
The Devs of CL should be proud of what they created, genuinely. I'm really looking forward to future updates and versions. Just maybe find away to sell it that doesn't put it on a pedestal.
Dude made the video, and said it's the best. >Insert Obama giving himself a medal pic
It is the best though.
This Rom is probably how i feel about pokemon. The old games i enjoy for just letting us into the world without all that needless dialogue but the move sets were so limited
While new games I love how much variety each pokemon gets giving them all a fresher feel.
Honestly they were and nowadays it feels the same. Over time older Pokémon got a crap ton of moves. Like look at the lickitung line. It’s fucking insane
@@AutisticJesusGaming same with adding special moves to physical types like aura sphere type moves. Makes things more unique
Though wish hidden power was still in and give it a way to be given the type you want. It's busted but fun to experiment on
@@ivanbluecool Hidden Power was a mistake. It ironically limits the game more than it enhances it.
@@SporkyMcFly it's less limiting than pokemon being outright removed. May as well just make another game series at that point
Hp is fine just ban it from tournaments if people are so afraid of losing due to not getting extra breeding done.
@@ivanbluecool The more I interact with the Pokémon community the more detached I feel. The National Pokédex being removed was one of the best ideas Game Freak has had in years and then the community bashes them over the head like we need 1000 Pokémon to give us the illusion of more choices. Like you were ever going to use Drampa or one of the million forgettable legendaries, much less all.
I finished the hack last week and man, what a blast. This really entered the hall of my favorite romhacks, along stuff like Polished Crystal, Storm Silver and Crystal Clear. Congrats on a job well done! Can't wait to see where it goes from here.
Glad you enjoy it!
you were able to complete it? I defeated Sabrina but did not obtain her badge so I cant access Mount Silver
@@JVHPC-ju6cg yup, only issue I had was that Sabrina gave the badge I was supposed to get from Janine, but Janine gave Sabrina's badge so I had no issues in the end.
Someone loves Johto lol. Glad you had fun!
How did it compare to polished crystal? I always saw PC as the definitive Jotho hack
Im doing a nuzlocke on my first playthrough, and as someone who played silver as a kid this is pretty much everything I wished the game to be!
There are changes I disagree with but overall this is a good stand-alone Pokémon game. Maybe even better than Polished Crystal. I just started the playthrough, but will finish it in due time.
@@SporkyMcFly I agree; overall, a fantastic rom-hack. What are some of the changes that you disagree with, just out of curiosity?
@@WhiteOwlet I did not like the changes to Gengar and Alakazam's learnsets, removing some elemental punches. X items could be wholly removed instead of just from vendors because they basically serve no purpose if you cannot buy them. These two are examples of what I would consider minor issues that barely affect gameplay (especially in my case because I do not use X items and see them as free money and I tend to use weaker pokémon for a tougher challenge).
Larvitar is obtainable too early when compared to the other pseudo-legendaries of all contemporary titles. It should have been put in some other cave, or at a later stage of the cave it is in. Before the first gym is way too early for these pokémon.
I would love to see the Kanto side of the nuzlocke. I've been playing Crystal Legacy since I saw your initial video, and just wanted to give a huge thanks for making such a killer upgrade! PS - I love the disrespect shown to the Unown when you refer to the Wooper as your first loss 😂
Just found this hack the other day, and I’m so excited to find new reasons to love this channel after the pivot from zombies since tbh I didn’t unsubscribe but I didn’t stay too tuned in till recently, glad to be here with and og like you man, hope everything is well
I just want to say I love your series. GSC were my first games and you truly made it better :) thank you for all you do.
Did my first Nuzzlocke with this rom Ended by Whitney rollout crits, (RIP Splinter, you were truly in the top percentages of all rattata) I love gen2, no other gen hit me like 2 did. This rom is amazing and I appreciate the time and love that went into this.
Thanks for making this rom hack! Crystal is my favorite as well and you just breathed fresh air into this awesome game!
19:55 dope sound-byte choice, i love gengar
This game is so exciting and fresh. I opted to do a no starter run. I’m running Larvitar, Pichu, Houndour, Hoothoot, Scyther, and Horsea. I intend to swap my Noctowl for that extremespeed dratini. Wish me luck!
If you want to evolve scyther the romhack has ways to do it early if you would like to know
I’m also doing a no starter run. Doing golem, Machamp, Alakazam, Houndoom, Lapras and scizor
@@Danchamp07 i bought a metal coat from the Mahogany shop
Can someone post the link so I can download it
@@Danchamp07 I would like to know!
Definitely do the Kanto portion as well!
Loving everything about this rom hack. Thanks for all the time and effort! Can’t wait to get around to playing it my self
At some point I definitely want to stream a Nuzlocke of this game you did an amazing job on bringing out its full potential.
I understand the vanilla GSC being developed and not having enough space for certain things to make it feel COMPLETE, but this is what Pokémon Crystal should’ve been BAR NONE.
Phenomenal work. 🙏🏽
Currently playing this hack and it's truly amazing, what a wonderful job you made it really feels like an updated and upgraded version of the original without completely changing what it was. Congrats and thank you for your work :)
Finished my Nuzlocke today. You and your team did an excellent job with this. It plays really nice and is harder than any base Pokemon game but still doable for casual nuzlockers.
Also, I can't stress enough how much I love the Pokedex. Turning this completely useless feature into the documentation for learnsets adds so much quality of life!
Well done! I cant wait to play the updated rom when i have time.
I can't thank you enough. Gen 2 is my favorite gen and you gave it the upgrades it deserves. A truly beautiful game for a fascinating a region.
Finished it the other day and I loved it. I hope in the future we'll get more Kanto content and I think the rematches need some tweaking as they are actually easier than the first encounter
you were able to complete it? I defeated Sabrina but did not obtain her badge so I cant access Mount Silver
I’ve been loving this whole process! You’ve gotta give us that Kanto Nuzlocke!
CZcams asked me if this Video is entertaining and I only check "yes of course" You put so much time and effort in it. You deserved it man 😊💪🏾
I know it's just for the title, but personally this is my favorite crystal rom hack. You really accomplished what you set out to do, playing this hack feels like the first time I played crystal as a kid all over again.
I've been nuzlocking so far and haven't even had an attempt make it to Whitney, but I'm just having so much fun!
Play polished crystal, trust
@@YominicationPlayed it, loved it, just like this one more anyways. Another great rom hack for sure though!
@@Yominicationyeah they’re just two different things that provide different experiences so idk if it’s fair to compare. Polished is AMAZING though
Keen to see more videos! I have loved this series.
Thank you so much for making this romhack Pat! I plan on getting many hours of nostalgic entertainment
So I finished a semi-blind nuzlocke run of this earlier. I tailored each team to the first 8 gyms and then had a "best of" squad for the league, Kanto gyms, and Red.
I ended up using Murkrow, Yanma, Golem, Machamp, Alakazam, and Slowking. Very very fun romhack.
I am now on the catch 'em all grind.
GG dude!!
How do you get the trade evolutions? I've got myself a metal coat from a wild magnemite 🤯
@@hoozoohleague8264 you use them in the same way you use an evolution stone
i did something similiar but ended up with houndoom, ttar, dragonite, jolteon (special shadowball on jolt is busted), machamp and suicune; with celebi and occasionally Quagsire in the back. That Team swept the e4 + rest of the game really easy at the individual level caps.
Rhydon is awesome for catching snorlax, Zapdos and moltres
Coming across shiny pokemon in gen 2 is unreal. Will never forget that I killed a shiny rattata ugh.
Also, probably a good showcase of all the changes made within the game, amazing work can't wait to play.
Even worse, I found a shiny diglette and I couldn’t catch it cause my PC box was full. Absolutely enraging limitation of Gen 2
Hah, first shiny I ever got in Crystal was a shiny Geodude in the route south of Blackthorn City. You can guess what happened next.
Geodude used Selfdestruct.
6:06 overconfidence is a slow abd incedious killer. F.
Also congratulations on finishing and releasing ROM hack! I don't know anything except that it's a lot of work that often goes unnoticed, so... Good job 🎉
Honestly you are your worst enemy in this nuzlocke ahahah I'm playing the rom right now and I've been lovin it, it hits that sweet spot of nostalgia perfectly, I've been looking for ages for this feeling since crystal is one of my favourite games despite some flaws. Thanks for putting it out
Such a great video, Thanks Smith Plays Pokémon
The absolute EGO on this man
For real😂😂😂
My man spent a year doing it, let him have it for a couple of videos
I mean he made a good creation and It' ok to boast about It and be Proust, Hope Pokémon challenges Will play it
I know right
He’s not wrong I downloaded this and was like oh I’ll play for 30 mins BLINKED AND IT WAS 4 AM
Would love to see a Kanto nuzlocke continuation of this vid!! Subbed!
Not sure if it is too late vut would love to see the kanto nuzlocke in this condensed style. Idk why but I always enjoy watching these condensed videos first then going back and watching the full thing. Either way though mate I have been loving these videos going over the ROM and am gonna be jumping into it asap once the new place is unpacked and laptop finally found.
The game is SO fun. Thanks for doing this!
My luck in this rom is kinda crazy. My first encounter in dark cave was a larvitar AND I got a shiny from the odd egg. So far, everything's looking up for me
I wasted two years of luck on the roll
lol larvitar has 2 common 4x weakness until level 55. it's not good
@@JoshSmith-sr6ks What prominent grass/water Pokemon are there in the Johto region before Kanto, besides your rival's starter?
@@JoshSmith-sr6ksCounterpoint: you get to use tyranitar.
I also got a shiny from the egg. It's a igglybuff sadly 😂
Fun to see! Well done, good rom hack!
really cool rom hack bro, nice job 👍
I just finished the hack (all badges, elite four, red, complete dex), and the hack feels amazing. Everything I dreamed crystal would be as a kid. But I feel there's a bug with tyrogue's evolution... it just refuses to evolve if it's attack and defense are the same. Had to edit the save to forcefully evolve it into hitmontop, but that's about it. Awesome hack man!
edit: nevermind the bug, I'm the distracted bufoon here.
You should have watched the main video or read the guide. It’s evo is brick piece now.
@@smithplayspokemon ah, frig... Just remembered it was the brick. Sorry. I watched it but didn't connect the dots
I really enjoy my nuzlocke of your hack. I have like 15 dead Pokémon before the last gym fight, but it's really engaging.
Love your videos. Can you please make a video of best Pokémon team for gen 2 and moves for each Pokémon in the team
GOTTA see that Kanto Nuzlocke. Excellent run on an excellent rom hack, really looking forward to playing this for myself
Just finished my Playthrough of this amazing hack. My Final Team, going through a number of itterations, was Feraligator, Magneton, Gengar Alakazam, Tyrannitar and Dragonite. Really enjoyed my time with this hack and I would love to see you tackle the Kanto Postgame.
Dang, y'all really got so pressed he had to change the title. That's a shame, I thought it was fun.
What was the previous title?
@@otaviojohannjardim1702"I nuzlocked the Best Crystal Rom Hack," I thought it was funny and it made me chuckle, but it seems most people took it way too personally.
You did such a good job with this hack man. I just beat johto last night and it was the first time i ever had been able to use a gengar or alakazam due to lack of link cables in my youth. I do suggest a title change though- Pokemon Crystal: Heracross' Revenge.
18:38 "I don't think we should trade lives"
Smith also: sacks 4 pokemon for Haunter
12:30 casually throwing out the house Martell motto. 🐐
I’m going to start this game soon. A lot of effort and love put into this game
Getting ready to start playing this!
I downloaded this after the video demonstrating it and I'm enjoying it. The added difficulty on top of shaken up Pokemon stats and locations has me exploring like a kid again. Also Larvitar in dark cave is OP before Falkner haha.
I still need to play through this rom hack. It looks incredible. :D
I think your game is magical. I found a shiny zubat in dark cave, now a beautiful pink crobat!
Just a Suggestion from Me: Maybe do what Radical Red / Crystal Clear Did and Add A Nuzlocke mode that Implements those Rules and Add it so that you can enter in-game codes for Benefits and Advantages, Like infinite Rare Candies so we dont have to put it in the emulator's Cheat Menu and risk losing our save or breaking the game.
This game is actually epic❤ I rly enjoyed it
okay but that seems like an anime episode. Clefairy charms, into metronome recover, into another charm? Even if she lost, Whitney is still a goddamn threat.
I never thought I'd come across a Gen 1 or 2 ROM hack that could make them playable but here you are not only making Crystal playable but actually introducing a genuinely fun experience and giving much needed life to so many pokemon! I would LOVE to see Kanto!
I'm currently running a full Steel team just because I never could in the original Silver / Crystal! Having an absolute blast
I am excited to start a playthrough soon when i am done with og yellow
I'd love to see you continue this into Kanto!
You already had an aerodactyl in the clip you lost primeape so I’m a bit confused but other than that amazing video and game!! Love everything you’re doing
What a fun way to show off the game!!
You realize that you made this game, I’m proud of you!
Actually Gyarados is, in this romhack, way better than he was in og Gen 2 cause he can use his physical attack for his Dark type Coverage
Let’s get that nuzlocke for red going I would also love to see you do this for x and y which is a game that needs massive help
Many thanks for this romhack! As a gen2 nostalgic myself, I feel like this is the most perfect experience I could wish for!
I was wondering if you had thought about localization and translation, for instance for French people such as myself?
At 14:16 gyarados would have outspeed and kill with another dragon rage and it wouldnt have went down to poison. For sure. So yo udidnt need to let your starter go down.
Yeah I agree. This seems like a bad play on my end actually
@@smithplayspokemon yeah. When you were talking about the play you were about to make I was yelling noooo! Lol but it's cool. Very good game.
I can’t wait to see the Kanto Nuzlocke x)
Naming your shiny “BROOOOO” is so based
Would love to see you do a ROMHack for Pokémon Emerald!
I love this. my childhood made fantastic. I have to tell you, stall-leftovers-mudslap/gigadrain/protect/leechseed Meganium is the best starter now. She can sweep even supereffective pokemon. The only pokemon that actually gave her trouble was Karen's Vileplume. The combination of speed, sludge bomb, and substitute to avoid mudslap was a bit overwhelming.
I used Donphan on my team for this romhack, and I just want to say he was crucial against the e4 for my team.
Phanpy was one of my early route encounters. Prior to evolving, i didnt think it was going to make it, but it became a beast.
The only thing i wish was a little bit changed was if Phanpy learned rollout earlier. Like prior to level 20. I kept waiting for it but he didnt get it until after evolving.
Really enjoying the game, 5 badges in and had to grind before jasmine. Using a few old favourites and some Pokémon I have never used. Team is graveller, haunter, kadabra forretress, Murkrow and kabuto.
Liked and Subscribed! GIVE US KANTO lmao! Great video though and a wonderful ROM hack!
Loving the Game so far, i've Got all 16 badges, but keeping the Red Fight until i get Most of the dex, after that i'll try a nuzlocke myself.
I'd Love to See the kanto Part ❤
Just enjoying the little bit of Ace Attorney music in the background
Of course we want to see Kanto, we want to see E4 rematch, and we want to see Red. This is such a cool rom hack, and this Nuzlocke really shows how a lot of the changes add to the experience of playing the game at all levels.
15 seconds into the video i did not expect you to have the face of Ryan Gosling Ken
I'm halfway through, the level curve and the difficulty is just great.
I wanna watch the whole nuzlocke so badly 😍
Pat this is a really cool romhack would love to see you do more even dive into making a crystal version using the HGSS engine would be really cool call it something like Mind Crystal i think if you did this you could make the game so good but obviously be hard but worth the wait and a good long term project as this is an amazing romhack
That crystal legacy cartridge looks sick
GBA cartridge on a GBC game tho lul
One thing I say is that you should have given the Grunt at the end of Slowpoke Well a name and make him another grunt to appear more than once. He's the early version of Proton after all, and also a fun story would be to have the other male executive at Goldenrod Radio Tower be the same guy, y'know in the spirit of Proton.
Good idea. That no-name final grunt always felt kinda odd, not gonna lie.
One thing that did irk me throughout the design process was his seemingly wilful refusal to use any of the expanded lore for HGSS. How difficult is it to just use the canonical names for the Executives? He only gave the names Archer and Ariana those names after people pointed this out to him. It is definitely weird the final grunt has no name when he later admits he is supposed to be the same guy that is later named Archer.
I can not wait for the kanto portion!
Kanto nuzlock please. Btw, been playing legacy and loving it! Great work!
I can't wait to give this a Nuzlocke myself, this will be the first time I've played Gen 2 since SoulSilver, which was actually the first Pokemon game I ever played!
I absolutely need to see the updated Kanto run with this team.
Aye is see a fan of Scotts Thoughts! Got yourself a Kenya
Looking forward to Part 2 Kanto Boogaloo
Love the yakuza music playing in the background
I don't know where to put it, but since the patch 1.1 there are multiple attavks that straight up paralyzes the opponent like fury swipes. Guess thats a bug
Hey dude, is there like a data sheet for where you can see where you encounter every pokemon (and possibly what each trainer has as well)? It looks like an awesome hack with many quality-of-life improvements and better difficulty curve, and im definitely going to play this.
I just did a regular playthrough of your rom hack (well, just cleared the Johto E4/Champion). It's pretty cool. Koga's Crobat is legitimately evil though.
Is there any easy way to get lucky egg btw? It is in Gen II but you have to steal it from wild Chansey at a rate of 2% on a 1% encounter. I think making one available once you hit the E4 might be nice just to speed up grinding. The higher level wild Pokemon do help, but if you aren't playing with speed up (I play on my 3DS) it's still pretty slow to grind.
I've completed Crystal Legacy twice already. The first time catching all 251 Pokémon (thanks for the document with all the useful info) and thanks for all the Leftovers in the Elite 4. A simple Thief was able to give my full party Leftovers. The first time I played my team was Machamp, Houndoom, Alakazam, Tyranitar, Raikou and Dragonite (with Extremespeed). The second time, though, I didn't focus on completing the Pokédex and my team was Ursaring, Gengar, Lapras, Ampharos, Entei and Aerodactyl. I just mourned the loss of Ice Punch for Gengar and thanked my lucky stars that Lapras could learn Surf, Waterfall and Whirlpool now. Thanks!
Can you make Kanto Gym Leaders "rematchable" too? Also, the Rival's party could get like... 2-3 levels higher everytime we encounter him before going to challenge the Elite 4, so it means that he is actually training (as he says he will). SS Aqua could also accept trips all the time instead of the assigned days only.
At 14:15 you culd have just klicked Dragonrage again. Based on the amaount of halth the first one did there is no way Slobro would have survived and you would have survived the poison.
To unown: he said first LOSS, not first death lol
Good job! Small question though. How did you justify Aerodactyl since you caught an Unown in the Ruins of Alph?
Probably cuz the puzzles are their own thing i would guess. So he chose which Fossil he wanted, much like how you choose Helix, Dome or Amber in a Nuzlock of RBY.
The same way you can justify fishing in any city with a cave/tower with encounters in it and getting those.
I classified in the chamber as it’s own spot and outside (where you can get natu) as a separate one!
This is one of the best natural improvement made in hackrom
Gotta see how Kanto goes next. That’s the part of the revamp that’s most exciting for nuzlocking purposes to me personally.
You're telling me the schoolboy immediately before Sudowoodo ALWAYS read my swaps but because he only ever had a Tangela it never mattered. Mans is a whole actual psychic....unlike the Psychic on the route.
Gonna need to see that Kanto nuzlocke 😅 been loving crystal legacy, just beat Lance last night
