Pokemon Polished Crystal, Episode 1: Familiar, Yet Different

After the unpolished gem that was Liquid Crystal, how about we look at a hack of Gen 2 that does what Liquid Crystal attempted to do, but with better results? I played an earlier version of this hack before, but this is my first time playing this version, so this could be seen as a semi-blind playthrough. The only ruleset I'm following for this one on what pokemon I can use is that I can't use any of the pokemon I catch (unless they're shiny), but stuff I get as a gift, from trades, or from hatching eggs are fair game. Also, this is my first alt-tech exclusive series. I got fed up with Google's bullshit, so I will no longer be uploading content on Youtube. ==== Obligatory disclaimer: I obviously don't own Pokemon, it's owned by Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company.

How often is it that Brock's the second-to-last gym one faces in a Gen 2 run? Not that often, I'd imagine. ==== Obligatory disclaimer: I obviously don't own Pokemon, it's owned by Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company.

At this point I decided I'd go check out another new section in this version of the hack (one that, as it turns out, is unfinished) and complete the legendary bird mini-arc. ==== Obligatory disclaimer: I obviously don't own Pokemon, it's owned by Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company.

I cut the last one a bit short since it was already going for thirty minutes and I didn't know how much more content there was in the Orange Islands. Once I finished that up, I figured I may as well go and catch Lugia and Ho-Oh. Now there's just one pokemon left to catch... ==== Obligatory disclaimer: I obviously don't own Pokemon, it's owned by Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company.

The end of the game is in sight, and this was supposed to be my victory lap before the final challenges...and then Lance just had to piss me off. ==== Obligatory disclaimer: I obviously don't own Pokemon, it's owned by Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company.

Pokemon Polished Crystal, Episode 40 (FINALE): All Good Things Must End

At long last I reach the end of this romhack, completing the pokedex and defeating the toughest trainers. By the time this goes live, it'll be mid-December, I think I'll take a break till late January-early February 2025 before I upload new content. I'll see what looks interesting to me and I'll have something ready by then. ==== Obligatory disclaimer: I obviously don't own Pokemon, it's owned by Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company.

Gaming Pokemon pokemon romhack polished crystal generation 2

After the unpolished gem that was Liquid Crystal, how about we look at a hack of Gen 2 that does what Liquid Crystal attempted to do, but with better results? I played an earlier version of this hack before, but this is my first time playing this version, so this could be seen as a semi-blind playthrough.

The only ruleset I'm following for this one on what pokemon I can use is that I can't use any of the pokemon I catch (unless they're shiny), but stuff I get as a gift, from trades, or from hatching eggs are fair game.

Also, this is my first alt-tech exclusive series. I got fed up with Google's bullshit, so I will no longer be uploading content on Youtube.
