A lot of really great improvements here, and if I was judging it only based on those it’d be a lot higher, but at the end of the day it’s still a Johto region game. You’ll get enjoyment out of this even if you don’t like the originals (like me) because the improvements really do help make a slog of a game into something unique. Bravo to the team!
Absolutely the best way to play the classic gen 2 nowadays.
Johto was amazing to explore, Kanto was fine.

A versão mais Pokémon Cristal de Pokémon Cristal que tu vai jogar.
huge youtuber psyop. not great especially in the way of writing ("This TEAM ROCKET thing is just a job, but I can see it hurts others. That's it, I'm leaving. Thank you so much. Sorry GIOVANNI!") and some balancing decisions seem pretty arbitrary but serviceable enough. you guys can do most of this on your own in a few weeks b/c of how much is copy-pasted from guides on pret's pokecrystal decomp github repo

Not as good as the original.

This rom hack fixes 99% of my problems with Johto.
Even with the difficulty increased, the gameplay is much more fun and the unbalanced level curve no longer exists. This was the first time I managed to finish the Kanto post-game, because in HGSS, Kanto gave me a lifeless feeling, it was so boring that I never had the desire to beat Red. But in this hack rom, Kanto feels so much smooth and I managed to beat it in one day. (Thanks to Alakazam, this man carries the whole game)
One of the best points in this hack is the vast early Pokémon accessibility. In the first routes, I managed to encounter Pokémon that I have never used in my life, like Houndoom that only had a chance of appearing in Kanto in HGSS (Why gamefreak?)
Even with Giovanni’s appearance in the main line, the story still feels very monotonous and the Team Rocket QG is so boring. Overall, it’s the best way to fully experience the Gen 2 games and I recommend this ROM to everyone!
