Description

Pokemon Deluxe Crystal is an enhanced reinterpretation of the beloved third entry of Generation 2. It maintains the classic storyline of the original Pokémon Crystal: traveling across Johto and Kanto, challenging Gym Leaders, striving to become the League Champion, and putting a stop to Team Rocket’s schemes.

As an enhancement hack, the narrative remains unchanged, but the overall experience has been refined with a range of quality-of-life improvements. These updates aim to modernize the gameplay, streamline progression, and provide a smoother, more enjoyable adventure while preserving the nostalgic charm of the original game.

Features

Gen 6 experience system (Exp. Share is Key Item that can be turned ON/OFF like in Pokemon X/Y; you can also gain EXP from catching Pokemon)
Added a Move Reminder (found in the same location as the Move Deleter)
New Key Item: Pocket PC (You can now manage your party in the overworld)
New Battle Item: X Sp Def
Unlimited use TMs
Access to the Running Shoes from the start of the game
Stone evolutions will keep learning new moves after evolving so you don’t have to hold off on evolving them
B2W2 Repel System (game will ask you if you want to use another Repel once the current one’s effect wears off)
Kurt makes custom Apricorn balls instantly (no need to wait 24 hours in-game, you can turn all your Apricorns into balls instantly)
Speaking of Apricorns, the fruit trees which you can get them from can now yield multiple Apricorns (up to 5)
HMs and other field moves can now be used as long as at least ONE Pokemon in your party CAN LEARN the move AND you have obtained the corresponding TM/HM (TL/DR: no more HM slaves)

IN-GAME CHANGES:

Updated wild Pokemon encounters (All 251 Pokemon are obtainable, including Gen 1 starters, fossils and legendaries; some exclusive mons are only available via in-game trade/Game Corner prizes, and static encounters have been added for legendaries)
Game Corner prizes have been updated (this includes the aforementioned prize Pokemon)
Updated teams for all Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Champion, Team Rocket and even route trainers to better fit their theme/aesthetic
Progressive level curve (there are no massive level spikes, but the trainers’ levels will keep rising up as you progress through the game to keep you on your toes)
Updated Pokemon moves, level up movesets, TM learnsets, Egg Moves, Egg Groups, base stats and evolution methods (most Pokemon will now have access to moves they couldn’t learn in Gen 2; evolution methods have also been updated to ensure all 251 Pokemon are obtainable without the need of trading)

OTHER MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES:

Updated party menu icons + overworld sprites (every Pokemon now has their own sprite)
Updated Pokemon status page by adding a section where you can see the time and place it was caught
All 16 Gym Badges are now shown with their proper colors when you look at the trainer card section
Pokeball colors have been updated to match their actual canon coloring
Pokemon no longer lose HP from poison in the overworld
Added a new text scrolling speed to allow for faster dialogue skipping
Nurse Joy heals your party at the PokeCenter faster
Faster in-game save speed
Reduced the constant low HP beeping noise during battle to just a short beep (similar to Gen 8 onwards)
Miscellaneous dialogue changes (this includes some in-battle dialogue)
