Pokémon Crystal Awakening (COMPLETE)

Pokémon Crystal Awakening is a tileset overhaul project based on the Pokémon Crystal disassembly. The aim is to give every area the look of a GBC Zelda game, namely styled after Link's Awakening, with cues taken from the Oracle games.

Changes:

While story progression is unchanged, here's some new things you can expect when playing this hack:

• Overhauled overworld and interior graphics, alongside some UI elements.
• Tweaked trainer teams, namely harder rosters for important trainers, such as Gym Leaders.
• An expanded Kanto, with restored dungeons, more trainers, and more items.
• More sensible Pokémon distribution as seen here, and more generous HM compatibility.
• Every Pokémon available on one save file, and all room decorations can be bought or are gifted to you.
• Fixed off-model Pokémon sprites. Palettes were also improved for a good amount of Pokémon.
• Some QOL features, like "Running Shoes" (works by holding down B), and an automatic Repel reuse message.
• Fixed bugs and glitches.
• The Celebi event, now restored! To get it, simply head to Goldenrod's Pokémon Center after beating the League.

(Do note that link compatiblity cannot be ensured between this rom hack and the base games.)*

Version:

The current version is 1.2.8, with changes documented in the changelog over on Github.

A patch is available in the repository's Release tab, apply it to a US Crystal ROM.

The source code is available a here.
