"Polished Crystal is, as the title says, Crystal version but improved. I've had vague plans to make a Pokemon game for years, starting with a folder full of map drawings in middle school, but Mateo's Red++ inspired me to make this one, and I hope to do for Gen 2 what he's doing for Gen 1."
"The storyline is the same, you start in New Bark Town, beat the Johto gyms and the Elite Four, then move on to Kanto and fight Red. However, I've added new Pokemon, new moves, new mechanics, new maps, new events, new trainers, new items, new bugs, and Red is not even the end of the game. I've also moderately increased the difficulty, although this probably needs tuning." - Hry
I love how every gym leader have at least 1 johto pokemon in their team in this game. This should have been corrected in the remakes
Hot take: Gym leaders depending on the number of mons and the dex and their theme dont need to have their region mons
@@PastaMan4444 ok?
@@PastaMan4444 cold take
It was corrected in the remakes, all of them have a Jotho pokemon in their rematchs
@@vard1865 True, tho I was kinda hoping they'd have them as well in their first battle. Just felt like the johto mons didnt get as much shine in their own gen considering most of the trainers you fight in the main campaign used too many pokemon from kanto
A Polished Version of every Sister game would be sick. Yellow and Crystal definitely needed it!
I recently played yellow for the first time & was blown away by how easy it was. Pikachu plus all 3 starters just given to you early game is too much. You add a Dragonite and a mewtwo and you have an unkillable team.
I actually think Yellow is harder since you have to deal with having a Pikachu on your team all the time. It ends up being a glass canon since most Pokémon can knock it out with a single attack
@thelightseeker94 you just said mewtwo? Come on man. Using a legendary in a playthrough? That feels dirty
@@thelightseeker94
Dragonite requires too much training to be viable in gen 1 in game. When you get mewtwo the game is over. Dragonair does not evolve until level 55.
Starmie and Vaporeon are better than blastoise too. Pikachu learns thunderbolt naturally I’m Yellow as opposed to red/blue so you can give TM24 to Starmie instead.
In my most recent Yellow run my team was:
Pikachu
Charizard
Vaporeon
Venusaur
Kadabra
Dugtrio
Charizard isn’t even the best fire type, but it’s a better flyer than mf pidgeot.
Vaporeon is the best water type and probably the best eeveelution in gen 1. The point in the game in which you get it you can slap ice beam and bubble beam on it. Viable straight out the box.
Venusaur is bulky and can abuse the toxic+leech seed glitch. Also Venusaur is fast enough for razor leaf is auto-crit in gen 1
Kadabra is the real monster of gen 1. Alakazam is stronger, yes, but I didn’t have friends. Kadabra has base 120 special and 105 speed as a psychic type. That’s bonkers in gen 1 and on par with many fully evolved mons. Abra evolves at level 16 and just makes Kanto its bitch.
Dugtrio rips through Lt. Surge and is the best abuser of x-accuracy with fissure.
I should have replaced Pikachu with Zapdos, but then half of my team would be weak to ice. Fire doesn’t resist ice in gen 1. So Charizard is weak to ice beam 😂
Why those two specifically?
I’m so happy they gave Bugsy more Pokémon. A yanma is so nice to have. It was always a joke to have a metopod and kakuna lol. Especially when we know they both evolve at 10.
Specially being an Gen 2 char featured which original had lack of ( some ) Gen 2 mons on they’re teams
Bugsy’s Yanma is deadly too. With Sonicboom being an early game great move, Double team for annoying ass evasion, along with the Speed Boost ability making it faster every turn. It’s really quite the menace. I even tried bringing a Ghastly along to outplay his Sonicboom and he ends up having fucking Forsight on it.😂
It was so smart to show off the type changes intentionally with the moves that were used. Well done!
While I like the additional Johto 'mons, I really like the Quality of Life improvements, like the "last mon sent out" jingle, the type-coloured indicators for a move and its physical/special/status type, and even that the game's not constantly like "ALL YOUR CAPS BELONG TO US".
I love how fast-paced everything feels. I swear every little delay in-between actions been significantly shortened, from attack animations to user inputs.
Giving Bugsy Beedrill and Butterfree is how it should have been.
Metapod and Kakuna evolve at level 10.
Might’ve been to make it fair since Scyther’s pretty tough to deal with in the early game, but in that case give him Ledyba and Spinarak instead since they’re gen 2 Pokémon and wouldn’t have been much harder or easier than fighting metapod and kakuna
I like that they removed the mention from Jasmine about how Steel-type Pokémon were a recent discovery just like the remakes did, because back then Pokémon lore wasn't as developed and in-universe, humans would've known Steel Pokémon for as long as they've known Pokémon in general.
Falkner marks the moment I realized the anime took place in Johto. I never saw the opening and thought he was just another tough trainer Ash had to deal with. When I finally saw him earn the badge I was like, "oh"
Kanto and Johto had to be so similar...
I think that show how much Falkner is a joke in the game that he have two Pokémon that aren’t even above 10 levels.
This looks amazing, I really want to give this a try
8 bit gen 5 gym leader remix is absolutely amazing
Yeah I loved that bit.
Clair using Yanmega and Ampharos. I see what you did there, haha!
Wait why Yanmega? I can understand Ampharos since it mega make it a dragon type but why Yanmega
@@positivea9111 Yanmega is based off a Dragonfly if I remember correctly
@@allewis-douville7389 Oh now I get it, nice pun
This is a phenomenal improvement 👍👍
The battle music tho! Such a small change that has an amazing impact.
Gen 2 but the teams make a little more sense
I find it similar to some of mandjtv’s fixed teams for johto gym leaders
I love the Dragon Pulse animation!!
When I battle Bugsy in this improved game, My ass will be kicked HARDLY.
This is impressive! I’d love to play it!
Love the feature of speeding up the music for the last mon
It’s from Gen 5 I believe
@@MrKevosmin It is. but having that sh!t in gen 2 is sounds terrific
Yes! They brought the feature of different battle music of the gym leaders last pokemon from gen 5 into gen 2!
I had played the earlier version and found it enjoyable, little difficult but not kaizo difficult which isn't a bad thing. Can't wait to test out this latest beta, gen 2 will always hold a special place in my heart due to the simplicity, two regions, and that crystal was my first pokemon game i ever played.
Whelp I'm enjoying it. Made it to the elite four and actually struggling a little bit 😅 even with mons in the mid to early sixties. Would totally recommend
I definitely think these changes are great. They could use a bit more improving, but they're still great.
This is interesting and something I'm sure every Johto player has dreamed of making. However it does need a bit more, well, polish before it can be considered finished.
This brings back memories. I remember that miltank being so hard to beat.
Right! The only way is by poisoning, using flash and fighting moves.
Unless you had an female Pokemon or an Ghost type
ROLLOUT
Oh this bring back memories of my childhood
This is fantastic
I LOVE the idea of Bug/Dragon type Yanmega!!
That was great. GSC were my favorite games, but I've always dreamed with some improvements on GYM leaders.
Pryce and Clair battles were though haha
Nice type changes!
Once you got new evos in the game, I would set the gym leaders with:
Falkner - Pidgey, Spearow, Noctowl
Bugsy - Pineco, Ledian, Shuckle
Whitney - Jigglypuff, Sentret, Miltank
Morty - Gengar, Haunter, Mismagius
Chuck - just fine with Farfetch, Primeape, poliwrath and Hitmontop
Jasmine - just Skarmory, 2 Magneton and Steelix
Pryce - Dewgong, Sneasel, Delibird, Mamoswine
Clair - Dragonair, Yanmega, Lapras, Kingdra.
Thanks for that! 💙👏
Nice stuff.
One thing I don’t like about the OG Pokémon GSC is it introduces so many new Pokémon and yet they don’t use them. A lot of the new Pokémon you can’t even get until after you beat the game.
Because Pokémon was viewed as a one hit wonder back in 1998 and Nintendo was rightfully afraid fans would not like the new designs
Which is ridiculous! Pokémon lives forever!
One of my favourite room hacks
31:19 that's an awesome "gen 2" animation/SFX for Dragon Pulse!
Claire: WTF is a fairy type?
Me: It's here to end your cheap ass
I have some recommendations for Johto Gym leader teams
- Falkner: Pidgey, HootHoot, Murkrow = Murkrow feels best as his ace. Since it has the base stats of a mid form Pokemon. I also think his ace should change depending on time of day, those could be his night team, his ace for the Morning/Day could be Natu, since Ruins of Alph is found South of Violet City.
-Bugsy: Pineco, Yanma, Heracross = My reason for this is that I chose the three bugs not represented in his gym or barely in game at all.
-Whitney: Honestly her team is fine, but if I wanted to add some Clefairy, Aipom, Miltank. Clefairy should stay the way its at, Aipom can learn Baton Pass early and its holy unrepresented, only seen by 1 trainer in Kanto. And Miltank is self explanatory.
-Morty: Haunter, Misdreavus, Gengar = I want Misdreavus to be his ace, because Diamond and Pearl made Mismagius Fantina's ace, even though she had a higher BST Gengar. Regardless Misdreavus is on the team. But since Platinum is the better game, we can make due with Gengar.
-Chuck: , Poliwrath, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop = The Hitmons all got a baby form, so why not present that with Chuck, with Hitmontop being his ace since its a new Johto Mon? Poliwag also got Politoed, making Poliwag line have a new mon.
-Jasmine: Skarmory, Foretress, Magneton, Steelix = It's odd she never had a Steelix, since she's the one Steel type user in the game. In fact Skarmory is one of the only Johto mons not to be used by a trainer. But regardless, this makes the most sense for her team.
-Pryce: Jynx, Delibird, Sneasel, Dewgong, Piloswine = Jynx got a baby form in Smoochum, is a great lead and stops attempts of fighting types and so can Delibird for that matter. Delibird has the same BST as Seel, and while garbage it wouldn't make a difference any way. Sneaseal could use its speed to soften you with Screech or good physical damage, Dewgong could cover every weakness but fighting, and Piloswine makes sense as the ace.
-Clair = Lapras, Dragonair, Dragonair, Kingdra = Lapras is in the dragon egg group and is the best dragon themed mon I could give her without being too similar to Lance.
Jasmine had Steelix. 2 Magneton and Steelix.
@@ApeSkit01 she didn't have Magneton, she had Magnemite at level 30. Where it should have been Magneton
@@Surgemaster2012 You said: "it's odd she never used a steelix"
but yes they misremembered or misspoke about the Magnemites being Magnetons
@@UnknownVir I meant to say Skarmory
@@Surgemaster2012 Idk about that chuck team tbh. I think is a bit weird. If you gave him heracross, it would make bugsy feel less special but there's a simple fix. Give bugsy an ariados for his ace. Yes it kinda sucks but chuck should have a heracross. I'm thinking hitmontop, poliwrath, primeape, heracross. I think giving him all the hitmons is more of bruno's thing. You could also give jasmine a scizor instead of forretress since its weird she has 3 bulky steel types so spice it up and give her a scizor, a good offensive mon. I think you could give clair a gyarados. It would make her team similar to lance but its lance's lead mon, so its not as bad. Giving her charizard or aerodactyl imo is something unique to lance
5:12 Yo! yanma has the houndoom roar 🤣🤣🤣
YES! JOHTO is still my Favorite right besides Hoenn! Especially the music xD
why does Beedrill have defense curl, but not harden?
Edit: Also it might be cool to make the Gym leaders use their signature TM move more as a pivotal strategy for their team. Bugys having u-turn on his final pokemon is silly.
move tutor i think
If I remember correctly, there's a strict limit on move slots/Pokemon slots in the gen 2 games, so redundant moves were taken out to make room for new ones.
@@Playguu that's actually an interesting bit of hardware history.
Playguu is right.
He also combined "fury swipes" and "fury attack" into "fury swipes" which that beedrill also used.
Beedrill is already hard
good team!♥
I never knew that Yanma's cry was just Houndoom's pitched up
I love how there is type diversity here! The HootHoot line got a lot of love! And Chuck with a Farfechd was really funny! I didn't like how they just gave Jasmine every strong Steel-type in the game... I prefer repeats of pokemon as it's become common and brainless now to use the strongest pokemon due to competitive. Again, what I like, is that they implied Ampharous and Yanmega are dragons! And gave the Johto leaders more JOHTO POKEMON! Overall cool game!
How do you find items for new evolutions? I know about stealing Metal Coats and King's Rocks from Magnemites and Slowpokes respectively, but what about Quick Claw and stones to elolve Murkrow or Togetic? Is it NPC phone calls again? Oh yeah, and Alolan forms. I've only seen Vulpix and Ninetales in Ice Path.
It would really help to have an actual wiki for this mod, as movesets and stats are different. Some changes are noted, like pokemon and move types, moves power, but sometimes it's not enough.
Dude this looks sick af! Is there a download link? I’d love to nuzlocke it 👀
I think it has an in-built option for nuzlockes
Google is your friend.
Good luck. Highly recommend looking up the level jumps per area, not just for leaders. The game is still in beta and you can get wiped very easily just by wandering too far from the intended path. Early game is really rough too if you just miss out on certain encounters.
@Zero Yame is there built in hard mode
Besides different teams what are the differences in this game compared to the original crystal ? I rarely play rom hacks but this seems interesting
Was there dynamic level scaling or were you just always at the right level
is it for gameboy emulator?
Until what generation are the Pokémon programmed?
Not a big fan on type changes, but aside that, looks great
Love the gen5 gym bit for the ace
Great job hope you get more followers
Does this game have the Gen IV-updated Phys/Spec split?
how do i turn on, that accuracy count, physical/status/special symbol.
that interface you have in a box where normally is only, pp count and type
Is there a video with the elite four and champion
love that Yanmega and Ampharos are part dragon in this version
great work. does this game have physical/special split?
Yes
I have a doubt about something, i'm trying to play Pokemon Coral on my 3DS (Demo is out now), and it seems the VC doesn't suppoet MBC30 mapper to show the right cries of pokemons from Gen 3 - 7 ;T
That may sound offtopic, but i've readed that Coral is based on Polished Crystal, that's why >D
If there's a solution to play on 3DS smoothly, i'd really like to know
a gb emulator will work fine
is this version 2.2 or 3.0 beta?
Is there a polished version of the Kalos games? Just out of curiosity.
Theres rom hacks of them but not very many since it’s much more difficult as they’re 3D games and stuff
@@sweetheartmashupsbabe Can you name drop any of them? I've only seen romhacks that make the game incredibly difficult when I've been looking for hacks that just do some balancing tweaks.
Oh shit! THE UNOVA LAST POKEMON THEME!
What emulator is this on ?
Is this game already out to play? If so where do I download?
Added a link to the GitHub in the description
The gym leader talking some shit before sending out their signature mon is genius and needs to be in every rom hack going forward 🤌🏻
When they mean by Polished games, do they mean by fixed games or cleaner graphics. 🤔?
I want to play this game. Can I download somewhere?
Misdreavus' sprite moving = the hills have eyes part 3
Rollout milktank’s attack is very strong move
How to get Charizard?
You should create and extend version, which Giovanni is faced again like the remake.
gen 2 sprites hard asf
Jasmines gym should have been a renovated abandoned steel mill it makes more sense imo
I can’t imagine that being something jasmine would like tho
Pryce's team is also well made 9/10
Except the mamoswine
The level seems fine
Did you trade Pokémon with your friend ?
At goldenrod gym leader I have never seen her Pokémon before
; teddy bear or baby snorlax
I love this!! These were teams that the gen 2 leaders deserved! They had Pokémon introduced in gen 2 and showed off more underused Pokémon in the games we rarely got to see such as Whitney using Teddiursa
Which version? I'd love to play it!
how can i play it? can i transfer data?
I wish these types of polish mods were made for Heartgold and Soulsilver
There is a "patch" for those games named Sacred Gold/ Storm Silver. It tweaks some things from those games to make them more challenging than the originals
I don't why some moves are super effective when they're not suppose to be. I think the Pokemons' typings got a little changed.
Some typings was changed in the standard version. There is also a faithful version if you dislike these changes
I thought these are generally good changes that make traditionally bad mons more interesting. Also he spiced up the starters with a second typing:
Noctowl = flying/ghost
Butterfree = bug/psychic
Ninetales = fire/ghost
Ariados = bug/dark
Farfetched = flying/fight
Feraligatr = water/dark
Typhlosion = fire/ground
Meganium = grass/fairy
The faithful version isn't intended to be balanced I wouldnt recommended playing it unless you like extra difficulty
How hard is this game? I feel like playing but I haven’t been the same in any Pokémon game since radical red
If you can beat Radical Red, you can beat this game
@@unyoshisauvageapparait9260 you’ve miss understood me, what I meant was, ever since I beat radical red I lost all desire to play any other Pokémon games bc they do not challenge me one bit
How to get grimer alola
So we're going to ignore why Bite is super effective against Noctowl, Psybam being Super effective against Farfetch'd??
No, because those are some of the changes the romhack made. In this case, Noctowl and Farfetch'd being part-Ghost and -Fighting respectively.
jasmine team is well made 10/10
The level has to raise a bit more
Like between 35 - 40
Speaking of Ghost and Dragon Types, what if Gen 2 had more of them? By retyping some existing ones. The Hoot-Hoot and Spinarak lines should've been part Ghost Types. While Slowking, Ampharos, Yanma, and Dunsparce should've been part Dragon Types. Also, the scrapped Ghost mons, Kurstraw and Pangshi should've been in the final games. While Regional Variants should've existed sooner in Gen 2. With Johtonian Gyarados & Arbok being Flying/Dragon and Poison/Dragon.
Never thought about Slowking getting the dragon type before, dragon psychic would be crazy in gen 2
Oh no... The physical special split...
Maybe a unpopular opinion but some gym leader team should have been modified :
- Morty doesn't need Noctowl
- Chuck doesn't need farfetch'd
- Yanmega and Ampharos are wasted in Clair Team
Since i saw 4g Pokemon, i assume 3g and 4g are present so there are tons of options instead of using randoms pokemons which doesn't match trainer type or be really useful to the gym leader.
Like :
- Add Spiritomb or Sableye to Morty team Immunity to Psy move
- Add Hariyama to Chuck Team, seem great on his team
- Add Altaria and a second Dragonair to Clair team, she like beautiful pokemon, not ugly Yanmega, that's also why a Flygon/Drattack or a Garchomp would be bad on her team
Otherwise, some change are cool, like adding Skarmory and Scizor to Jasmine team or Mamoswine and Lapras to Pryce Team.
Hi, just to give you info about this rom, theres only 4g evos, regional forms of gen 1/2 (not Hisui, only Alolan and Galarian) and none 3g or 4g pokemon (no luxray, zigzagon, etc) and those pokemon you mentioned have his type changed to the leader: yanmega Is bug/dragon and farfecth Is flying/fighting for example. Also, they all have even better teams in their rematches. Really good hack rom, you should give it a try (i just beat the johto league a couple minutes ago) ✌️
@@eddyhernandez4486 Oh ! Thanks a lot for this information, i will give a try then :) I have no more complain
Isn't noctowl,
normal/flying?
Some mons have their types changed
Gotta drop a download link man I've looked since this video dropped can't find it 😭
Sorry, added a link to the GitHub for the game
@@kokoroo487 awesome playing now thanks man how far does it go tho says it's a beta version
Why is Noctowl weak to dark?
Is Psychic/Flying in this hack
Politoed Is Water/Grass,don't ask me 😂
Noctowl is flying/ghost
Also ninetales is part ghost. He wamted to balance the fact that there are almost no ghost types in Johto.
@@SomethingLegit1Doesn't change the fact that Ninetales should be Fire/Psychic, but okay...

Why doesn't the bug or fighting gym HAVE A HERACROSS in it
BRAVO on Jasmine exactly what should have been done here
I was going to blast you for pryce but I'm impressed with the buffs he needed Blaine Giovanni yellow version level buffs n got them
Heracross is on bruno's team
c'mon bugsy shoud have heracross as well
Munchlax? 9:46
Never noticed but tm69...u turn...(◑_◑)(◑_◑)
Ok, what the flying fiddlefall fuck is with Clair’s team, are her Yanmega and Ampharos Dragon Type?
I asqume it's because Yanmega is a dragonfly and Ampharos is named "Electric dragon" in japanese
although a gen 1er, JYNX IS A JOHTO POKEMON!!! change my mind
do you know how to evolve cubone into alolan marowak ?
Am i the only one that had trouble with pryce??
defense curl..!:? are you kiding..? xDyou did a great job but moveset ....
How I would fix each of the gyms in Johto:
Flying: Skarmory and Hoothoot
Bug: Yanma, Spinarak, Ledyba
Normal: Aipom, Teddiursa, Furret, Miltank
Ghost: Misdreavus, Mismagius, Haunter, Gengar
Fighting: Poliwrath, Primeape, Heracross, Hitmontop
Steel: Scizor, Forretress, Magneton, Steelix
Ice: Dewgong, Jynx, Sneasel, Delibird, Piloswine
Dragon: Gyarados, Dragonair, Seadra, Kingdra
Unfortunately for two of them there's not much you can do lol.
Gym 1 Skarmory? Yeah, no. That's just not balanced
@@kwayke9 at 13 all it knows is like peck lol. Also Mareep and other fire type are all around the area.
Machop gets knock off?? :O
My CD games Pokémon crystal is lost when I moving
my new house
Murkrow/Togetic should be Falkner’s ace and Heracross should be Bugsy’s. I would also replace Whitney’s Clefairy with a Furret or a Stantler since Fairy type exists
Bugsy needed changes, where's pineco, spinarak, Ledyba and heracross YOU KNOW the bugs that live next to the GYM
Whitney is tricky to balance since she does need fairy n normal to make her gym make sense
Togepi, furret, clefable and miltank level 20
I would give morty stantler because of hypnosis shenanigans and it lives next to the gym
was this accurate to their teams in the anime?
Look not every Nation calls it Dragonfly, the Pun would be lost on Japan. Yanmega beeing not a Dragon is not stupid.
