Fun fact: if you go the the end of cerulean bridge, then go to where bills grandfather lives, theres a big lake of water that leads to a staircase. Go up the stairs, follow the mountian path, surf again. There will be a house there with a guy that gives you a free guaranteed shiny ditto egg! This makes getting shinies easier to hatch
Ran the calcs on that Porygon2 fight, and if I didn't get the math wrong that sequence had about a .076% chance of happening, or about a 1 in 131,072 chance. You got the SHAFT on that fight, but this entire video was ridiculously entertaining throughout!
20:10 That is a Half Life reference.^^ At the beginning of the game in the lobby, there is a security guard sitting at a desk with a computer and a alarm button underneath the desk. Pressing it will trigger an alarm and the guard saying the extact same thing to Gordon
I can't believe this video was 40-minutes long, it was so nice to watch that I lost track of time! Crystal Clear looks like one of the best rom hacks ever, I personally love the old school graphics and seeing such small details (like a golden Espeon or a black Scizor) was a nice surprise. I'm convinced to try a run in this game in the future!
I would personally recommend reading the documentation. You were missing out on a lot of stuff (maybe it didn't appear in the video but idk) like the place in Goldenrod where you can customize your Pokemon and even set them up for transfers. Also, you can make stuff faster for yourself if you turn off animations for battles when grinding/resetting and switching to quick continue for faster soft resets. There are many hidden things in this hack rom and currently i'm at my second playthrough where I will transfer the team and shinies I get onto the 3DS games. Good video!
I intentionally skipped over the goldenrod place where you can set up your Pokémon for transfer since I played this on an emulator and most of the customization stuff is for transfering like nature adjustments since pokemon Crystal doesn’t have natures. I didn’t even consider turning off animations for grinding and stuff, couldve saved myself a bunch of time! 😂 this rom hack does have plenty of secrets though, had a blast playing through it and hope to play it again someday. Also, thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed :D
@@mikeverdoes6763 you normally can’t, but you can with this rom because it’s just Pokémon Crystal with level adjustments and barrier removals basically
@@mikeverdoes6763 There's an official tool made by shockslayer that converts the GBC save into a Virtual Console save. You can transfer your Pokemon 3 ways on a 3DS to another game, all of them require homebrew though. First, the official one that is using Poke Transporter: this method is pretty straightforward and you will need Games from Gen 6 or 7 for it to work and Pokemon Bank too (I don't know if it still works to this day). All you gotta do is boot poke transporter and it'll read your Crystal Clear save if you have it as a Virtual Console game with the correct Pokemon Crystal ID The second method is through Pokemon Save Manager and it encompasses the last two ways: Pokemon Save Manager (or PKSM) is a homebrew tool that serves both as a bank for your pokemon and portable genning tool akin to PkHex. For the first method if you are playing Crystal Clear as a Virtual Console game you gotta use the Checkpoint homebrew app (Which you should have if you have your jailbroken 3DS) and backup your Crystal Clear save, then through PKSM try to find your save which should be on your checkpoint folders (you can browse through saves on the options menu) once done you can easily move or clone your pokemon to the storage to transfer them to the other games that they are in (Since it's gen 2 from Gen 3 onwards). The second way is basically the same but assumes that you are using a GBC save instead. You just search for the GBC save on your console and do the same
@@Oshawaves but you cant transfer pokemon from gen 2 to a gen 3 game. Only on the 3ds with pokemon bank, so this means you need to have a moded 3ds so that you can install the rom hack.
the open world stuff opens up so much fun stuff. By starting somewhere near the Pokémon League on the kanto side, with enough luck you can catch pokémon like Arbok, Rapidash and Dodrio in their 30s to 40s. You can even access Silver Cave with no badges at all!
Crystal legacy looks so good 😭 what’s crazy is I’ve been watching the smith plays since I was a little kid, and I would’ve 100% made a video on that game instead but I was already done recording before it even released :,)
@@Oshawaves Bro, don't support Crystal Clear (no matter how great it is). The people behind this game are scum and are profiting from the hard work of others. The pokemon rom hacking community has always been very open in sharing code and different techniques etc... These guys have taken so much without crediting anyone, don't share any of their own code (which is completely against community expectations) and are making large profits. This romhack could bring down the whole community when nintendo takes legal action.
Hey! I know this was months ago, but i found the video and loved it! I loved this video! Cc is my favorite Romhack and possibly my favorite Pokemon game in general! Main reason i commented here was to answer your question regarding the "winds of change" line. That is meant to signal to you that all static encounters, knocked out legendaries, and other events in game reset. These reset every time you beat the E4! I hope that helps!!
Absolutely amazing to see a video on this rom so many years after I initially tried it! They added a lot of things that make me excited to give it another go so thanks for making this!
I’m right there with you! I remember playing this when I was a little kid, and coming back to it with all these new features was amazing to see! Good luck in your playthrough! :D
Reason why the in-game time doesn't tally up with your play time: if you have the Real-time Clock option activated on whatever emulator you're using, the game time stays the same regardless of whether you use the speedup feature or not. The play time will be accelerated though.
24:01 not sure if you knew this, but the theme playing here is actually the all-star rest area theme from smash brothers melee, converted into GBA format of course. i recognized it right away! really cool easter egg great video by the way! underrated channel.
5:25 You probably already know that by now, but you actually *do* have a way to wake up the Snorlax: The radio in your PokéGear. There's a station that just plays the PokéFlute tune, you set that up and interact with the Snorlax, it'll wake it up and you can catch it. Edit: Also, I'd love to see a part 2 👍
Did bro forget to mention that static encounters are 1/1024 or something like that in this version? That includes starters. Makes a full shiny team fairly easy. Happy to see people are still playing this!
23:21 that Aero had perfect DVs besides Speed (11 is still great). What a shame. I would have taken this over a shiny. Pokemon with great genetics are just as rare/valuable as shinies, and actually have an effect in battles.
20:09 The button is a Half-Life reference. During the intro, you can press the button underneath a security guard's desk, which will cause the alarm to go off. They respond, "Come on, Gordon! Are you trying to get me in trouble?"
You can get the EXP share as a prize in one of the game corners, and also a quick way to get fly early on is getting the mail pokemon Farfetch'd at the top of goldenrod, which knows fly.
@@Oshawaves In the original crystal version you talk to the guard between the city and route 35, he gives you one, and asks you to deliver it to a guy on route 31. In crystal clear this pokemon knows fly. You can just keep the pokemon but you bring it to the guy on route 31 he gives you a TM.
That’s exactly what I said when I watched a video on it before making this one. I played years ago and it’s changed so much since then, but I had a blast playing through it in this video!
Massimo, X, Treble, Launch (octopus), Omega, seems that someone played a lot of Mega Man games. Also a green piggy (noise) that's too fast to be.caught, that is quite the TWEWY reference.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen a CC playthrough pop up in my feed, tbh. Really fun watch, though! It seems like you really had a blast with it. I’m not all the way through the video yet so you might have picked her up later, but don’t go sleeping on Miltank! I caught Bluebell at the farm and she turned out to be the closest thing to a Paladin I’ve ever seen in any Pokemon game. Body Slam and Earthquake are absolutely nutty on her. 8U EDIT: Also the alarm thing in the Cinnabar lab is just a straight-up Half-Life 1 reference. During the pre-game buildup, you can press the alarm button under the front desk and the security worker chews you out about it, hah.
@@Oshawaves right? it still blows my mind, especially since I didn’t have any EQ users up til then (aside from a low-level Nido) I’m sorta parroting Smogon here, but even tho Miltank isn’t quite as tanky as Blissey or Snorlax, it has higher attack, so it can put up a pretty good offense. I was originally planning on dropping her since she wasn’t really seeing much action at first, but then when I saw she could learn EQ, she became one of my best team members. :V
I absolutely ADORE this rom hack, and it's very nice to see a more recent video covering it, and a GREAT video to boot as well! Definitely gave the video a like, and am absolutely hoping you will do a 2nd one! And as for picking a nickname for a pokemon, I'm going to suggest for your Aerodactyl "StoneSmaug" or reverse it for "SmaugStone".
@@Oshawaves excellent! I also recommend, Pokémon crystal Legacy. I just picked up a physical copy and this game was a beautiful nostalgia trip. Happy gaming, look forward to your growth this year
@@megaton.settler funny enough, I was actually going to make a video on that but was mid recording of this game by the time thesmithplays dropped it, so I never got around to it 😅
Also I’m not sure how a nuzlocke would work since the game is open world, I could in theory go complete the entire pokedex before getting my first badge, but I have people continue to enjoy this game as I return to it
OK, the custom E4 with nicknamed mons is really cool. So are Fef the gatekeeper and their custom-colored mons. 6:05 It's hilarious that Randy Savage is selling houses here XD
Jesus christ is that child my character in toddler form?! Wtf Having Totodile as starter, a shiny Zubat and a Wooper... And cosplaying as wooper, while mine had same team evolved.. and was a grown teen cosplaying as quagsire 6:17
As someone who's played this game for many hours upon hours, this'll be interesting Edit: so ive almost finished watching, but one thing that's an annoyance unfortunately with Crystal Clear is the grinding you have to do. There is the old school EXP share, but definitely not enough Also Misty is definitely one of the hardest if not the hardest early game gym.
The problem for most fans isn't so much the exp share per se, but that you can't deativate it. Sure, it is good when you are retraining a whole team, or several members, but when you aren't, the exp.share makes your team be so overlevelled, if you like to fight any trainer you find, that makes most games too easy.
@@Oshawaves I can't personally say about gen 7 (although as far as I know, in both gen 6 and 7 you can deactivate it), but in Gen 8 and 9 you can't because it's not an item, it's just a mechanic. Fair is fair, I didn't feel particularly overleveled in Paldea. I had two teams, sure, but I managed to keep my main team in line with most of the challenges.
I really like Crystal Clear, It really is clear and open. But I do miss the events from Gold and Silver, I was bummed when there wasn't the rival or Mr. Pokemon
There are multiple Exp. shares in this game. One is on top of the big cave west to the ruins of alph. Its right next to the Picknicker on the phone south of violet city. Youve got to head into the cave though.
I have literally been looking for a vid like this for a year this was the best video I have seen Thank you for your work! I’d like to see another one if everyone agrees!
**wastes 90 minutes on speedup button** **uses 40 of those minutes soft reseting, saying it’s too bad it wasn’t all 90** **soft resets for 50 minutes on Zapdos** **leaves game on to get those 50 minutes on the clock** Am I the only one seeing flawed logic here?
I love this romhack and enjoyed your playthrough, though I do have to say I found your complaining about lack of an Exp Share a little funny. I found one on top of a cliff while wandering between the Ruins of Alph and Route 32. Not exactly modern because it’s the one you give to a Pokemon to share exp with that singular one, but I feel like it would have helped with the switch training.
Constricted by 24 hours, under more desirable conditions a Steelix would have been a wonderful edition to your team too. Espeon, I have never tried but would be a wonderful addition to my own team.
@@Oshawaves thanks I asked beacuse I made a physical cartridge of version 2.5.8 and doing a playthrough on it an using your video as a walkthrough and it really helps ! 👍
You don't even mention how you started with a shiny Eevee. Did you soft reset a couple thousand times? Can you choose a shiny starter by default? Did you use a manip.? More info would be appreciated.
I'll never understand why people call them legendary dogs. How anyone can think raikou is anything other than a Sabre toothed tiger is mind blowing. They are lion tiger and leopard it has been stated in a Japanese interview. For the record I did use to think suicune was a dog. The game looks fun I hope to check it out one day
The easiest way I've found to Gind is to re challenge the Gyms give the pokemon I'm training Amulet Coin or Lucky Egg. And Grind it out 50 levels in less than half an hour. I'm using speed up of course. But it's way easier than switch training.
I was grinding the gyms over and over, definitely didn’t 50 levels in half an hour with speed up, but I think that’s the only efficient want to level grind
@@Oshawaves x16 speed up put the stab move in the first attack slot auto A. Change the gym Difficulty as you progress. Change gyms according to the pokemon type so you have advantage. Trust me.
I find it odd that he talked several times about how there wasn't an EXP share available in the game, when you can literally see one being available for purchase from the game corner. You can see it at 28:50
I enjoy this watching I've beat pokemon crystal clear and got a couple of shinies. I downloaded another file to do a shiny only team got a shiny totodile as my starter and caught the shiny miltank at the farm. I'm also going to hunt some of the legendary with chaining. Would love to see you play this again.

old pokémon graphics hit different 🥹

No doubt, they hit better

facts! the game is so fun and i can't wait to record part 2 of this :)
I would love to see a part 2! One of my favorite romhacks, and this run was great to watch :>
I’m glad you enjoyed! :)
one of the best roms i ever played. really enjoy the shiny hunt methods on this
facts! its super fun
Lt. Surge's battle theme is the best one I've heard so far
Also, the Link's Awakening reference after leaving the Pewter Museum was hilarious
There are several cameo references:
Super Mario theme during the E4 battle and Legend of Zelda Windwaker/Shop theme in shockslayers home.
Crystal Clear and Crystal Legacy are my fav. iterations of the classic Pokémon Crystal
Crystal legacy looks so good 😭 what’s crazy is I’ve been watching the smith plays since I was a little kid, and I would’ve 100% made a video on that game instead but I was already done recording before it even released :,)

You want to play this game fully, i promise. It is the best Pokémon game I've ever played.
About to download it now , been replaying all the old games , now im starting the hacks. Can’t believe we can do this these days
This was an amazing watch. Thank you 😊

Also I’m not sure how a nuzlocke would work since the game is open world, I could in theory go complete the entire pokedex before getting my first badge, but I have people continue to enjoy this game as I return to it

Electrode is not just one of the fastest pokemon, it’s THE fastest pokemon of gen 1 and 2
My protip for starting in celarod is getting the spearow with fly from a ranger in the northern entry.

Sure, it is good when you are retraining a whole team, or several members, but when you aren't, the exp.share makes your team be so overlevelled, if you like to fight any trainer you find, that makes most games too easy.
You can deactivate it in most of the modern games no? I know u cant for x&y but I know u can in ORAS, i don’t rly know abt any games going forward
@@Oshawaves I can't personally say about gen 7 (although as far as I know, in both gen 6 and 7 you can deactivate it), but in Gen 8 and 9 you can't because it's not an item, it's just a mechanic.
Fair is fair, I didn't feel particularly overleveled in Paldea. I had two teams, sure, but I managed to keep my main team in line with most of the challenges.
@@Oshawaves You can turn off the exp share key item in gen6 and 7 games. Gen 8 is where it became permanently on and its the same in Gen9.
Please do a part 2! I really enjoyed this
I really like Crystal Clear, It really is clear and open. But I do miss the events from Gold and Silver, I was bummed when there wasn't the rival or Mr. Pokemon
Yeah I feel like they should implement some sort of rival in the game! Would be pretty cool to see
There are multiple Exp. shares in this game. One is on top of the big cave west to the ruins of alph. Its right next to the Picknicker on the phone south of violet city. Youve got to head into the cave though.
Great video, the man who called was Randy Savage, a WWF wrestler back long ago
Thank you, and sounds like another reference. This game seems to be full of those
Well i didnt expect the macho man to make an appearance in this video. Oooooooh Yeaaaaaaa Dig it !
So alot of people are telling me that the creator of this rom hack took codes from other rom hacks and put it in his game and didn't give credit
name a pokemon Dragapult, in honor of my Dragapult, my Klawf :D
I have literally been looking for a vid like this for a year this was the best video I have seen Thank you for your work! I’d like to see another one if everyone agrees!
I’m glad you enjoyed! :) i have so many videos planned for the near future, including a pt 2 of this video!
Yay looking forward to it! @@Oshawaves
There's also pokewilds, It's a fully open world with procedurally generated terrain, overworld pokemon and 1/256 shiny odds.
name a pokemon "opulent"
Part 2 please 🙏🏾 this was awesome 😎
**wastes 90 minutes on speedup button**
**uses 40 of those minutes soft reseting, saying it’s too bad it wasn’t all 90**
**soft resets for 50 minutes on Zapdos**
**leaves game on to get those 50 minutes on the clock**
Am I the only one seeing flawed logic here?
I realized this after recording the entire script and half way through editing the video LOL. Was too late to turn back by the time i realized :,)
I love it! Gonna do something similar for some playthroughts ^^
it's a great game! Hope you have fun :D
you are one of the biggest gems i found on youtube❤❤
Thank you so much! i'm glad you enjoy :D
Do this still using real day cycle? It still peeved me to find Frida during Friday
I think it does. eevee evolved into espeon and it was during the day IRL
This was great! would love to see a part 2
If this rom scaled level of wild and gym pokemon to your highest party member like inclement emerald, that would be cool
I agree, the wild levels are a bit hard to deal with
I love gen 3 graphics personally, but this video was enough to turn me over to gen2... but not quite tho.
I love this romhack and enjoyed your playthrough, though I do have to say I found your complaining about lack of an Exp Share a little funny. I found one on top of a cliff while wandering between the Ruins of Alph and Route 32. Not exactly modern because it’s the one you give to a Pokemon to share exp with that singular one, but I feel like it would have helped with the switch training.
Great video!! Had to get this for myself I’m so excited to have a fresh experience with an old friend 😊
Constricted by 24 hours, under more desirable conditions a Steelix would have been a wonderful edition to your team too. Espeon, I have never tried but would be a wonderful addition to my own team.
I just wanna ask on which version are you playing?
the newest version i believe
@@Oshawaves thanks I asked beacuse I made a physical cartridge of version 2.5.8 and doing a playthrough on it an using your video as a walkthrough and it really helps ! 👍
no worries! Happy to help :D @@Luka-up8yo
Bugsy is the first Gym Leader with a full team of six.
He's also male ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Was the Zappos sprite shiny on the overworked before encountering it?
@@ericvascotto1131 no sadly
where can i go to download the game and the emulator that you used? i have had a couple that ive used over the years and they all kinda stop working
www.pokeharbor.com/2022/01/pokemon-crystal-clear/
download link ^ and i used mGBA :)
Question are you gonna put your Pokémon sun and moon custom shiny play through on twitch and TH-cam
I’m going to stream it live on twitch, and then edit it into a video for TH-cam :)
Oh thanks for covering that
Are the mechanics in this game the same as G/S/C? Like the special/physical split being based on types(ghost physical/fire special)?
yep! :D
@@Oshawaves awesome I seen a hard copy online I think I’m going to purchase also does the mechanics for hidden power still work the same?
You don't even mention how you started with a shiny Eevee. Did you soft reset a couple thousand times? Can you choose a shiny starter by default? Did you use a manip.? More info would be appreciated.
1:35
Not the "where the hood at" bike theme
I DIED WHEN I HEARD IT LOL
What a brilliant game
I want the 2 part of this game with the events of Mewtwo, celebi, and some misteries.
It may just have to happen 🫣
@@Oshawaves thanks fuck me plz
I'll never understand why people call them legendary dogs. How anyone can think raikou is anything other than a Sabre toothed tiger is mind blowing. They are lion tiger and leopard it has been stated in a Japanese interview. For the record I did use to think suicune was a dog. The game looks fun I hope to check it out one day
Do a part 2 where tou do all the exclusive events for thsi game! Including Shadow Lugia
100% plan on making a part 2! have a bunch of projects i'm working on but i will be making a part 2 soon! :D
Hell yeah!
The easiest way I've found to Gind is to re challenge the Gyms give the pokemon I'm training Amulet Coin or Lucky Egg. And Grind it out 50 levels in less than half an hour. I'm using speed up of course. But it's way easier than switch training.
I was grinding the gyms over and over, definitely didn’t 50 levels in half an hour with speed up, but I think that’s the only efficient want to level grind
@@Oshawaves x16 speed up put the stab move in the first attack slot auto A. Change the gym Difficulty as you progress. Change gyms according to the pokemon type so you have advantage. Trust me.
W video as always sir osha
Hope you enjoyed :D
I find it odd that he talked several times about how there wasn't an EXP share available in the game, when you can literally see one being available for purchase from the game corner. You can see it at 28:50
It’s not the modern xp share, the old school one is completely different
I watched this while eating mayonnaise and cheerios w video
lemme get a bite
@@Oshawaves to bad I already ate my mayo spaghettios
@@ScoobyDaSnacks fake friend 😔
Bruh 😂 u my new favorite. That music do go hard
6:02 aren't they there in a original game?
Well I certainly didn't expect a Link's Awakening reference. What's next, you go back in just to be Hyper Beamed to death?
Hyper beaming a human?! That would be absurd! *cough cough Lance’s dragonite *
I love espeon it looks goofy but looks cool too
Facts 💯
That porygon 2 hit 5 zap cannons in a row. What luck!
I enjoy this watching I've beat pokemon crystal clear and got a couple of shinies. I downloaded another file to do a shiny only team got a shiny totodile as my starter and caught the shiny miltank at the farm. I'm also going to hunt some of the legendary with chaining. Would love to see you play this again.
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed! Good luck with the legendary hunts! I personally love the chaining shiny hunting method :)
@@Oshawaves thanks I just started hunting moltres for a flyer and a fire type.
@@Oshawaves I just got my shiny moltres
In all of my years of playing pokemon.... i never knew seeing the pictures of them would add them to your dex. 😂😂
Wait wait wait
The interviewer with the steelix and scizor...
IS THAT A GOSH DARN MEGAMAN REFERENCE
Perhaps 👀
now this is awesome
and maybe even epic
Fantastic video!
The guy complaining about you trying to get him in trouble is a Half Life reference
