About This Game

PokeMon Crystal Glass Box Art

Introduction: Pokémon Crystal Glass is a fan-made ROM hack of the official Pokémon Crystal for the Game Boy Color. It is an enhancement hack that retains the original Johto and Kanto regions but overhauls the game's content and difficulty. The visual style is the classic GBC aesthetic, with some tileset and sprite edits to accommodate new Pokémon.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The hack features a completely revised Pokédex, expanding the available species to include Pokémon from Generations 1 through 4. Starter choices are altered from the original trio; players typically select from Riolu, Gible, and Shinx. The difficulty is significantly increased, with Gym Leaders and other trainers having higher-level teams with improved AI and movesets, making it less Nuzlocke-friendly for beginners. It incorporates the Physical/Special split from Generation 4, along with updated moves, abilities, and a reworked type chart that includes the Fairy type. The original day/night cycle and weekly events from Crystal remain intact.

Key Features:

  • Expanded Pokédex with over 300 Pokémon from Generations 1-4, including evolutions like Tangrowth and Mamoswine.
  • Increased difficulty with redesigned trainer teams, boss rematches, and a higher level curve throughout the campaign.
  • Quality-of-life improvements such as reusable TMs, the ability to run indoors, and the addition of the Fairy type and updated mechanics.

This hack is designed for players seeking a more challenging and modernized experience within the classic Crystal framework.
