Pokemon Crystal Clear Standard (v2.5.5) is a fan-made ROM hack based on the original Pokémon Crystal Version for the Game Boy Color (GBC). This enhanced release modernizes the classic RPG with redesigned graphics, expanded storylines, and over 100 new Pokémon species. It retains the core mechanics of the GBC original while introducing updated areas, improved rival battles, and refined game balance for a fresh and challenging experience.
• Enhanced Visuals: Redesigned sprites, tilesets, and animations for a modernized GBC experience.
• Expanded World: New regions, dungeons, and hidden areas to explore beyond the original map.
• Additional Pokémon: Over 100 new Pokémon species integrated into the game through updated Pokédex entries.
• Quality-of-Life Improvements: Streamlined menus, auto-save functionality, and updated TM/HM distributions.
• Balanced Gameplay: Adjusted encounter rates, item availability, and trainer AI for a more dynamic challenge.
As a GBC-style RPG, gameplay follows traditional top-down exploration and turn-based combat. Use these controls:
Is this game compatible with original GBC hardware?

Can I trade Pokémon with other ROM hacks or official titles?
