To get the Elite 4 you only need to get 8 badges and that can be any 8 throughout both regions.Ĭharacter customisation. It works really well and gives you more freedom. That means you can take the gym leaders on in any order that you want, so if you take Falkner on at first he'd have a Level 9 Pidgeotto but if you take him on after facing all of the other gym leaders in Kanto and Johto he'd have a level 70 Zapdos. Not much else except for the fact that it's really useful. This addition is so simplistic but works so well, a run button right off the bat.
I really want this in the main series of Pokemon games because some people may not have many friends with Pokemon which means they can't evolve some of their Pokemon, but either Mr Tradeback that's not a problem. Say if you have an trade evolution Pokemon you can go to Mr Tradeback you can trade it to him and he'll trade back an identical clone what will evolve. There's a lot of other things from Crystal Clear I wan't in main line pokemon games, my favourite new addition in Crystal Clear is Mr Tradeback.
But if you're extra ballsy there's Smeargle and Magikarp, what are basically the hard mode option. Alongside that there is way more first evolution pokemon (most notably my boy Voltorb) including the baby Pokemon Magby, Elekid, Tyrogue, Togepi, Pichu and Smoochum. It also has the starters from Yellow, Pikachu and Eevee. You have your classics Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, Chikorita, Totodile and Cyndaquil. You have the choice of starting in Pallet Town of New Bark Town, but you can easily go back and forth from Kanto to Johto in many different ways.Īs for Starter Pokemon, saying you have a lot to choose from is an understatement. You can travel Kanto and Johto from the moment you select your starter.
Yep the heroes at BitBuilt have turned Pokemon Crystal into an open world game. Crystal Clear is one of the best Pokemon concepts I've seen, and that is, an Open world Pokemon game.
