Ali Plays Pokemon Clear Crystal

What is Clear Crystal?

Its a Crystal Rom Hack. Its Crystal, except its Open World.
What does this mean?
This means that
- At the start of the game, I can go anywhere I want. Yep, literally anywhere.
- I can do any gym in any order I want. So I can take on the easier gyms early, or try to deal with the threatening gyms early so they don't become super powerful later on.
- I can catch all of the mons I want to use.
- Story isn't really an important thing and I think its non-existant.

Sounds fun?
It sure is
Also check out wgeurts' Reborn let's play as well because thats also a pretty good game and that'll be hype.

Chapter 0A - Scratching the surface.

Question: Ali why is there a yellow colored gameboy shown in the screenshot with the current time date and everything. Hell, why does it look like your on an IOS device?

- Because I'm playing this on my ipad. What? I wanna play a rom hack on my ipad. Don't judge.

Alright lets check out the video game and as soon as I do, I have a choice to make.


Kanto or Johto?
Well, either way, I don't know yet and I'm just checking out what my choices, so I am just gonna select a region for now so I can atleast see what else I can do, since I heard there was plenty of customization I could do. I don't really know so I'll just ask MS.
Should I start in Kanto or Johto?

Then afterwards I'm greeted with this

POG
THIS IS FUN AS FUCK
and it even has some neat music I think [ulr=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKXlCUQalnM]this[/url] is the track.
Its fun but there's a lot to customize here.

I'ma probably do a redesign so uhhhhhhhh
I kinda don't want to show what I designed? I was kinda just fucking around for shits and giggles.
But just know that you can also be a team rocket grunt.
I'm not going to tho since thats just not my style.

But wait, there's more

I can customize by bag as well?
Well alright this is cool let me just look to see if anything sticks out, also change this color to pink because pink is nice

Thats a funny lookin bag.

Then after that, there's our starter choice. There's a bunch of starters in the game other then the main 6, but I'm going with

- Fuck the Johto starters
- I don't really want to use the gen 2 baby mons.
- the hard mons are no I'm tryna enjoy this casually not do some hard shit.
- Slowpoke looked appealing, but I kinda want a more traditional starter tbh
- Fuck Charmander
- Squirtle is like chill and all, squirtle squad squirtle gang squirtle 4 life yo, but like, its evolutions? Not gang material.

That leaves us with bulbasaur, the best gen 1 starter.
Fite me.

Anyhow there's a bunch of introduction type stuff, but I'll repost that when I feel like playing the game again so everyone where knows what to expect from this video game! Also because I already forgot like, half of it! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

ITS FEMALE
POG
Wendy seems like a really good name for a Venusaur ngl.
lets just check out its stats an-

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
the whole point of a tanky mon is so that IT CAN FUCKING TANK I CAN'T WORK WITH THIS SHIT
Anyhow look, when I feel like updating this, I'm gonna make a new character model thats appropriate, and reset so I get a bulbasaur that can be 1 thick boi
and maybe play the game.

@MS, where do I start? Do I start in Kanto or Johto?

[Annadog40]

Johto, Kanto is overplayed in general.

[Iconeum]

Johto+1

[Chemist1422]

ego and jumping onto the johto bandwagon

[Annadog40]

Also, let us say a few words for poor Wendy.

She tried her best but her defence caused her to be put to rest.

[Alisae]

(expired on 2019-06-25 23:25:44) until I decide to pick the region!!!!!!

[the worst]

link?

[Alisae]

If you want to play the game, google it.
Its a Rom Hack and I don't really feel like providing it for very understandable reasons

[the worst]

sry that was a joke about me asking for a link in discord when you'd sent a link like 20 seconds earlier
voting kanto tbh

[Aristophanes]

Ego

[Iconeum]

Update this plaz

[SleepyKrew]

deadline is expired but johto anyway

[Alisae]

Chapter 0B - Getting Ready For Our Pokemon Adventure

So we are starting in the Johto region because of popular demand.
In my opinion, ywall made a good decision.
Fuck Kanto
That shit blows.
Its so overated.

But anyhow, look, its time to introduce ywall to our young lad who is going to be going through the regions

I'm actually pretty proud of myself here with this one because she looks pretty fine and I feel ike the colors go really well together.
Also her name will be Tish


Then lastly we choose our bag.

We still went with the same design because its so funny, I look like I'm stealing a bunch of Christmas Presents, but I'll show some others off:

Spoiler: bags

Alright
I got some sad news though:
I won't be using a bulbasaur.
I kinda thought about it a lot actually, and knowing that these were my choices I decided to think on it for a bit.
And here were the choices so everyone knows exactly what I had to choose from:

So with this in mind, I kinda decided that there was a diff grass type I wanted to use, and instead, I decided to use a mon I never used before:

All of its evolutions seem really fun to use so might as well give it a shot

Anyhow, we got lectured on how the game works!
Here are the cliffs:

1) The world is opened up, there are less restrictions on where I can go and I can go practically anywhere from the start
2) The game scales with badges. More badges = tougher trainers. More badges = more stuff. I can also rechallenge gyms at any level. Some trainers don't scale if they're related to story events like the sages in sprout tower
3) New features. One of the ones which I might abuse is the ability to save just before I get my starter combined with the new quick continue feature makes it so I can shiny farm for or in this case, if I was GOING to use a bulbasaur, make sure it can TANK LOTS OF DAMAGE. Gift pokemon are increased to be shiny.
4) New Areas to explore!
5) Fuck story that shit sucks
6) I can catch 251 pokemon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7) It has to do with pokemon stadium so i don't give a fuck
8) A lot of things are renewable. Roamers, stationary encounters, and gift mons. All I gotta do is beat the E4. Also TM marts after I get certain amount of badges
9) I love heartgold and soulsilver best game tbh. Yeah thats right, we can have our mons follow us. Ya know I'm gonna get myself a Furret and have it following me all of the time, Furret gotta walk

With that said, let me introduce you to Tyrogue named Mafia Goon

/me spills water all over my desk
I think Wendy's ghost is mad that I went with a Tyrogue and named it Mafia Goon, which isn't even an impressive name but like hey
All of its evolutions give me the feeling that it could be in the mafia and that it would wanna beat your shit in and take your lunch money, hey look im just sayin.

Tho I think I need to reroll it a bit

9 minutes later

I'll work with this.

And with that said:
Its time to play the game for real now

[Alisae]

Spilling water ended up ruining my monitor.
*Angry Wendy Noises*

[Iconeum]

Your monitor seems broken anyway

'4:55 AM'

[Alisae]

I'm a night owl
hoot hoot

[the worst]

the Johto region

Wtf this isn't the kanto region

[Alisae]

kanto sucks
also I'm playing a lot while I wait 1hour and 25mins to get into a TFT game with friends so I'll probably have a few posts done ahead of time
its hard to remember to take a screencap tho but I'm trying my best!

[Alisae]

Chapter 1 - Meet the Captain

So, one thing you can do thats new in this game is change the music that appears in wild encounters, your bike theme, and so on.
Some of the bike themes is funny because there's a mirror b battle 8-bit track on the bike which is really cool, but I think its out of place. I would love to use that in battles sometimes but while I'm on my bike? Naaaaaaah.

There's also this:

And I'ma just say that
this is quality.
You can actually listen to this here if you want, this is the developer's soundcloud which has a bunch of cool 8-bit tracks.
It so fitting and I'll probably turn it on when I'm feeling up for it.
But for now, these are my beats (and yeah I did kind of upload one of these a couple days ago and a new one just now because I forgot it, but sometimes I'll just play the game get screenshots and upload what I previously played for another day)


The Gen 3 music I'm attached to and the gen 4 music as will I'm also attached to so those are my prefered themes, especially that bike theme, thats the bike theme I always hum or think of when I think of pokemon's bike theme.

With that said

Hi
did you have a good day?
I had a great day
lets catch our first mon!


And our first mon will be
wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiiit
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait


Wow, who could have ever guessed that the first thing I would do when it comes to actually playing the game is catch me a Sentret
who could have guessed

anyhow it goes pretty easily with only 1 ball, so without further ado, allow me to introduce you to Captain!

this is my best name yet tbh
But its a bit low leveled so first we take it to our mum so she can heal it for us

Yes see its super happy! It even greeted my mom! Its so adorable!
Anyhow unto grinding

After 1 battle


The next battle


Perfectly balanced, as all things should be (btw the text string says it feels right at home. You probably could have figured that out but, I just thought I'd mention it anyways some people don't have brains ok)
Anyhow at level 5 it learns defense curl!

yay a worthless move! Its not like it has any other moves, its only move atm is Tackle but thats ok we'll work with it.

Anyhow I grinded it to level 7 then called it a night

This is decently important, I don't think I will be showing every trainer battle. I started to notice that some trainer battles are just "spam this move and you win lulw" and its a waste of my time to screencap as well as its not really interesting content. If you disagree with this, let me know.
ofc there will be some significant battles that if I feel like showing them I'll show them. This also includes random trainers if something significant happens that I feel like would contribute to the thread.

[Iconeum]

DRAGONITE

[Annadog40]

Dragonare, dont evolve it

[popsofctown]

I think it's the only thing it can say, like in the anime. Because that's what Iconeum is.

[Aristophanes]

Hey Alisae I think you should pick the Kanto region!
