◆ ABOUT

Pokemon Crooked Crystal is a GBC ROM Hack by Based Wex based on Pokemon Crystal in English. It was released on December 4, 2024, and is now available to download.

◆ FEATURES · 25 TOTAL
  • All NPC dialogue has been replaced with silly nonsense. For example, Falkner thinks he’ll become a bird if he eats enough birdseed. The other Violet Gym trainers are worried about this
  • All 251 Pokemon are available, including added storylines for Gen 1 legendaries
  • An updated storyline that introduces additional wrinkles to Team Rocket’s plot, including an explanation for Kanto’s infamous limited map
  • Key Item replacements for HMs
  • Routes/caves/water etc. have higher diversity, with rare species becoming available earlier on
  • Trade evolutions now either use Stones or evolve by level-up
  • Revivable fossils
  • The leveling curve has been modified to be more challenging
  • Much stronger Trainers, Rival encounters, Gym Leaders, Team Rocket, Elite Four, and Red
  • Unlimited rematches of the Elite Four and 15 of 16 Gym Leaders (not Whitney lol)
  • Some TMs are different
  • Updated Game Corner prizes and Move Tutor
  • Updated NPC trades
  • Some moves have been updated
  • No more annoying Trainer phone system (sorry if you enjoyed this, to me it was always a bother)
  • Useful items (including Kurt’s Pokeballs) are more plentiful and available earlier. Can also get items from Rock Smash
  • Updated Mart inventory across Kanto and Johto
  • Wider Pokemon movesets/learnsets
  • Move Reminder replaces the Move Deleter (since HMs are gone)
  • Infinitely reusable TMs
  • Some item SELL values have been modified
  • Your team gains experience when you catch a Pokemon
  • Pocket PC allows you to access the PC anywhere
  • Added the GS Ball event, for catching Celebi
  • Probably more!
