About Pokemon Rising Crystal
Retuned Pokémon, new evolutions, and later-generation moves make Pokémon Rising Crystal a more demanding take on Crystal. Sarns created this GBC hack, version 1.5, with changed types, stats, and appearances intended to improve many Pokémon. It adds the Physical/Special split, new and revised locations, and makes every Pokémon catchable. Trade evolutions now use level-ups or evolution items, so building a full team does not depend on trading.
What's in it
- Many Pokémon have revised types, stats, and appearances to improve their usefulness.
- New evolutions, including Generation IV evolutions.
- The Physical/Special split.
- Moves from later generations.
- New locations and revamped existing locations.
- Trade evolutions changed to level-up or item evolutions.
- Increased difficulty.
- Every Pokémon is catchable.
