Crystal Trove is an ongoing hack that aims to be an enhanced Gen 2 experience with Quality of Life features, catching all Pokemon infinitely, increased replay value (especially the post game) and tougher battles.

Project Base: https://github.com/Nayru62/pokecrystal/tree/8.0_Nayrus_Pokedex which was based on the disassembly of Pokémon Crystal.

Recommended RGBDS version: v0.7.0

Recommended Emulator: BGB

Nayru's Pokedex Project (Rom Hack's Base):

Bundled: Idain's Custom Dex Colors and Toggle Shiny Palettes

REQUIRED: (bug/design flaw fix about Radio Tower)

• Unique Mon Icons
• Expanded Tilesets to 255,
• Naryu's Gen3 Type/Status/Cat Tiles. Pokedex portion must be implemented. Other parts, optional.

FEATURES: Base stats and info, Move Info, Detailed area info, Evolution chart, and sprite page showing animated sprites (reflects shiny toggle too).

Move Information: Lvl-Up Moves -> Field Moves (plus lvl learned and/or TM/HM/Move Tutor) -> Egg Moves -> TMs.

AREA Pages: Currently supports Johto/Kanto Walking/grass/surfing encounters plus their swarms. Fishing Rods information is also included. Right now, all it will show you is the relevant Fishing Group Name. To check your local Fishing Group, check the PokeGear.

POKEGEAR: Now shows the detailed name of map you're currently in (based on Map Group & Map Number) and it also reads the map's attribute to see it's fishing group, if it has one.
