The main drawback I’ve heard from people is that being storyless and directionless means that if you are looking for a plot-driven experience or just the standard limitations set by a regular Pokemon game, then you don’t have that but if you want the sandbox experience, Crystal Clear is by far the best romhack I’ve ever seen. In terms of expanding on being more than just a standard Pokemon game’s experience (play through it once, limited by barriers set by the game and thus your team is limited to Pokemon it expects you to have), it’s fantastic. You could play through it a dozen times and still have unique experiences left. Because many of the obstacles and railroads have. Taking place one year after the original, the player is thrust into the world of Pokémon with the choice to start in any town or city they want in Kanto or Johto. Gyms are re-challengeable at any of 16 sets of levels.Ĭrystal Clear is fantastic for a choose-your-adventure ROM Hack. Crystal Clear is a ROM hack of Pokémon Crystal that makes the game into a Wide-Open Sandbox. You can ignore the Elite 4 as long as you choose to. The ‘end game’ contains every single legendary of the time.
Encounter rates for newly-added non-legendary encounters have been increased from 1 to at least 5.
HOW TO PLAY POKEMON CRYSTAL CLEAR UPDATE
The 2020 Update is a complete patch, just apply it to the original game and play.
Repeat playthroughs aren’t bogged down by story you can run off, grab the free Farfetch’d almost immediately, and start flying wherever you want. Pokemon Perfect Crystal (2020 Update) is a small fix for Superegz’s hack that corrects a couple of fan complaints, see original page’s reviews. You have the option to go to whatever gym you want when and in what order. Maybe you want a team with three Kanto starters and three Johto starters (all are catchable).
You have so many options available to you at all times maybe you want to try a new starter from 20+ options. I love the open-ended nature of Crystal Clear.
