Prequel to Pokemon Crystal

Pokémon Johto Legends

A custom Pokémon ROM Hack based on the pokecrystal16 16-bit expansion of Pokémon Crystal created by aaaaaa123456789.

This is a prequel to Pokémon Crystal, where you play as either Draco or Dahlia, and travel the Johto Region, collect the eight badges, and discover a conspiracy to take over the region from the shadows.

Features

Thanks to the expansion, we were able to go beyond the usual 256 limit, and now there are 323 Pokémon from Generations 1-4, 6, 8, and 9, as well as several Fakemon. There are also 405 moves, ranging from Generations 1-9, and a few original moves.

There are three versions: Original, Faithful and Challenge. Faithful version does not have the type-changes, nor the Physical/Special Split. Challenge Mode has level-caps, the inability to use items in trainer battles, no EVs, and higher IVs for opponents.

Moves have been altered to fit their more modern versions.

Physical/Special Split.

Added the Fairy-type, Running Shoes, B2W2 Repel system, infinite use TMs.

Pokémon Glazed inspired rematch system with certain trainers.

Increased and altered base stats for Pokémon that originally had sub-500 BST.

Download and Play

Download a ROM of Crystal with the name: Pokemon - Crystal Version (UE) (V1.1) [C][!]

Patch the ROM with the patch, and it is all set.

Please use an accurate emulator, such as BGB64 or mGBA. BGB64 is a debugger, and thus you will need to run without breaks, and can be done by pressing Shift + F9. Otherwise, you will be interrupted constantly. Emulators such as VBA and MyOldBoy will not emulate the hack correctly.

If you are knowledgeable on downloading Github depositories, then feel free to clone and make the ROM from the repository.
