Crystal hack: Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 2.2.0)

[Master Terrador]

I personally dislike the stat experience system and how it's nearly unfeasible to max out your stats since the number (65535) is much too high unless you cheat and generate a bunch of mews or celebis so you can just get 100s easy.

EVs would certainly be welcome by me, I'd prefer the 510 limit but if no berries to reduce stats are available then I'd say no limit.

Good point. Getting 3 EVs (not unusual for final evolutions) is like battling a 768-BST Pokémon—stronger than Arceus.

I'll definitely include a way to reset EVs, and ways to gain them quickly.

If you play the game normally, your Pokémon will probably have evenly-distributed EVs, which translates to "all its stats are increased a little bit".

I'll be fine with those asseverations. :)

Natures raise one stat by 10% and lower one by 10%. Polished Crystal indicates this with arrows on the stat screen. (RSE had no in-game indicator, and modern games use red and blue colors which I always get mixed up.) Again, if you're just battling the in-game AI they won't matter too much. Still, if you catch something like a Modest Alakazam (Attack↓ Sp.Atk↑) then that's much better than an Adamant one (Attack↑ Sp.Atk↓).

Yeah, I noticed that (which is very useful for people like me :)). I picked an Adamant Totodile, which I think it's the best option, then I wanted a Modest Mareep, but I got a Timid, it had terrible stats, instead, I kept a Quirky one, and it has flawless Speed. {XD}

basically i just want a few more opinions about this besides mine :2:

So Ledian's official learnset also lacks physical Bug moves, but it could learn U-Turn via TM. A couple of ideas:

• Change an attack from Normal to Bug, perhaps Fury Attack (or False Swipe).
• Replace Fury Cutter with U-Turn.

Those two changes can complement each other, since Bug-type Fury Attack would be a good substitute for Fury Cutter in learnsets. What do y'all think? Are there better alternatives? Would Fury Cutter be missed? As the counterpart to Fury Attack, should Fury Swipes be retyped (and to what)?

How about changing Cut to Bug instead of steel? So far as I can tell, all Steel types already get some decent moves like Iron Head, Bullet Punch, Iron Tail etc. Changing Cut to Bug type and allowing Ledian and Pineco / Forry to learn the move would be okay IMO.

I know Cut doesn't really suit their look, but then again it's a HM so it doesn't matter much. Oddish can learn the move too for no apparent reason, and mad stuff like Rhydon getting Surf, Golurk getting Fly etc. is common with HMs.

oh I see, thank you very much for the clarification ;)

Should add Looker in this game for the hell of it

 

[Rangi]

The Bag now has six pockets, with separate ones for Medicine and Berries:

You can carry 25 generic items, 20 medicines, 16 Balls (one of each), and 17 Berries (one of each). The PC holds another 20 items. I might get rid of the PC and let you carry 45 items.

Hell Yeah Rangi!! this is definitely the best hack that i've ever played before!! and you still have things to add. You're the best...i really really like the new bag and pc storage sistem :)

Finally made it to the 8th gym to get stuck on an arrow tile...

It's fixed for 3.0, I moved the trainer.

 

[Ohlookzero]

I'm trying to pick up a TM in the light house, but it says my bag is fill. I got rid of some items deposited some hm's and still get the same thing that I'm full.

 

[looneyman1]

I think a good option to go for at some point is to increase the max amount of phone numbers you can have. HG/SS allowed you to collect every phone number in the game to cite a good example, but I dunno if you can allocate enough game memory to pull that off so I figure I'd suggest only like double the numbers you can already hold, or perhaps 50% more numbers.

 

[Bicycle]

In HGSS is possible to delete Lyra's Pokégear Number? In PPC she can be deleted.

 

[uchihamadada]

Hi Rangi, i want to report a malfunctin of the move "Hail", apparently instead of increasing the defense mentioned in 50% it lowers the defense perhaps in 200%, let me show you what i mean, i noticed that when i`m trying to catch Articuno...

In First image, I was alredy attack him with Drill peck (he never did Reflect), it almost down his HP bar in 1/4...and afther that Articuno used Hail.

In second and third one, i repeat the move Drill peck (not critical hit), and basically almost defeat him, the damage that Drill peck did was maybe a litlle bit more than the double.

Can you send me your save file? You're using 2.2.0, right?

You're right, 10 is very few. Looks like there's enough free space in RAM to do this.
Edit: done.

I think it is.

Thank you! I've fixed this, as well as some other inconsistencies between how player damage and enemy damage is calculated.

You're welcome Rangi! It is a pleasure to collaborate to make this hack something even better than already is! If I find sometthing else i'll let you know it :)

 

[looneyman1]

wow sweet, thats great! Glad my idea worked. Now if only rematches could be made more frequent, I almost never get phone calls from anyone.

Sure thing man.

Also I don't quite understand what you mean by giving trading Pokemon items like calcium etc..
