Game Description :
Pokemon Polished Crystal is a remake of the Pokemon Crystal game made by a very good ROM hacker named Rangi. When you play the game, you are still a trainer. Your goal is to defeat the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four in Johto so you can become the champion. Then you go to Kanto. Fight Red. That is the only thing that is the same as the original game. Everything else is different. They added Pokemon, new moves, new ways the game works, new maps, new events, new trainers, and new items. Even Red is not a part of the game. The game is also a lot harder now. Pokemon Polished Crystal has a lot of things that make it fun to play. The Pokemon Polished Crystal game is very challenging because of all the changes made to it.
Features:
- In one game, you can catch all 253 Pokemon. Some Pokemon, like Houndour, Murkrow,w and Misdreavus, can be found in Johto in locations without having to wait to get to Kanto.

- The evolution methods for some Pokemon have changed. For ex, Eevee can now evolve into Glaceon near an Ice Rock. Yanma evolves into Yanmega when it knows AncientPower.
- Now evolutions that require items such as Seadra holding a Drago,n Scale, happen when the Pokemon levels up while holding the item.
