![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hello there everyone, and welcome to the Official Pokémon: Liquid Crystal forum thread. I'm Linkandzelda, and maybe you heard of me before, maybe not. I started working on this alone around April 2007 with the intention for it to be a one person project, this meaning a solo hack. After the first major release it quickly became popular and the demands rose for higher quality and faster development, so I decided to appoint Synyster_Zeikku as Co-Owner to work mainly on Graphical aspects of the game. After 5 years of development as we enter 2013, we have a small team in place of dedicated ROM Hackers. ![]() ![]() With any major project there comes a Development Team to hold things together and to get the project moving forward. This is the development team for the Pokémon: Liquid Crystal Project. Lead Developer & Owner: Linkandzelda Graphics Artist & Co-Owner: Synyster Zeikku Lead ASM Programmer: Jambo51 Lead Music Composer: Magnius Bug Testing & Quality Control: FIQ Temporary Map Creator: Ray Maverick Special Thanks Sometimes there’s a time when we can’t do everything ourselves and have to recruit help from external sources. This is a list of people that we turned to for help and support during the course of development.

![]() ![]() Pokémon: Liquid Crystal is a ROM Hack developed for the GameBoy Advanced system using FireRed V1.0 as the base ROM. It’s a complete remake of the Original Pokémon Crystal game from the GameBoy Color. The story is the same as the Original Crystal with a load of extra events and even a brand new region to explore; the Orange Islands. While playing Pokémon: Liquid Crystal you will experience the original main story from Pokémon Crystal, with additional events placed in and around it. Expect to see new evil teams, rivals, and other twists throughout. ![]() ![]() Pokémon: Liquid Crystal has a wide range of awesome features for you to enjoy. This is what we think are the top ones. ~Updated Graphics & Maps~ ![]() Make your way through the game while setting eyes on some of the Greatest Graphics & Maps ever seen in a Pokémon Game! Every single map from the Original Crystal has been Revamped and Remastered into a set of amazing Maps like none before. With new Tiles & Palettes bringing Johto & Kanto to life once again! ~Day & Night~ ![]() ![]() ![]() Experience Real Time events and Visuals with the Day & Night system in Pokémon: Liquid Crystal! Travel through 5 different times including Morning, Day, Sunset, Evening and Night! Just like in the Original Crystal Version when the sun went down and came up again based on Real Time. Weekly events happening all over, with certain things happening every day in the game! When it goes dark in the real world, the sun goes down in Pokémon: Liquid Crystal. ~Relive Johto & Kanto~ ![]() ![]() Relive the adventures of the Johto & Kanto regions with glorious Graphics and Music, and even some new faces! Experience a nostalgia attack like never before as you travel through the Routes and Towns of one of the best Pokémon regions ever created. ~Experience The Orange Islands~ ![]() ![]() Take part in a completely new story line on the never before seen Orange Islands region! After the events of Johto & Kanto, Zane goes out of control in the Orange Islands. Play through a new chapter in the story and unlock some of the deepest secrets. ~Revamped Battle Scenarios~ ![]() ![]() ![]() Battle Trainers & Pokémon with Real Scenarios like Water, Sand and Grass! Just like in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl from the Nintendo DS, Pokémon: Liquid Crystal has enhanced battle scenarios to help make those battles even more realistic. ~Explore New & Hidden Areas~ ![]() Search far and wide to reach New Places and Hidden Areas never seen before! There’s tons of new areas that were not there in the Original Crystal just waiting to be found. With the new Open Ocean, you can surf and explore the complete map, so who knows what you will find! ~Dive Underground~ ![]() Just like in Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire, you can Dive down to the bottom of the ocean and explore deep caves to find new Items and Pokémon. Now, In Pokémon: Liquid Crystal you can Dive to the depths of Johto & Kanto to uncover deep secrets! ~Real Season Based Weather Effects~ ![]() ![]() ![]() Travel through the vast lands while experiencing Real Time Season-based Weather Effects! Travel the lands while being hit with Snow, Rain, Thunder and other Weathers! Based on the Japanese weather patterns, expect to find yourself immersed in a downpour of fierce storms during Spring, and heavy Snow Fall during the Winter. ~Updated Battle Mechanics~ Battle your way through with a new Battle Mechanic. Earn EXP like In Black & White! Pokémon: Liquid Crystal incorporates a unique system to any other GameBoy Advance Pokémon Game, with the enhanced EXP system it changes the way you battle forever! Also included is the Physical/Special Split introduced in the Generation 4 games for the Nintendo DS. Now you can make the most of your Pokémon’s Power while they use powers they could never use before! ~Additional Features~ In addition to all the above features, we have implemented a ton of other amazing features:
![]() ![]() Here you can see some of the best Screenshots, Videos, Music and other media. ~Screenshots~
Spoiler:
~Trailers~ Before a release we like to hype things up by releasing an epic Trailer showing off the game and announcing new features. The first of these 2 Trailers was created for the 3.1 Beta Version set to be released in 2011. The second Trailer was to announce the release date of the 3.1 Beta Version, being December 25th 2011. ~Showcase Videos~ Sometimes, we just feel like posting random videos to show off a new Feature or just a random piece of the game. ~Other Videos~
Spoiler:
~Banners & Fan Art~ Here is a showcase of all the Fan Art and Banners people have made to support Pokémon: Liquid Crystal. Keep it up guys, your support is greatly welcomed!
Spoiler:
![]() ![]() Over the course of Pokémon: Liquid Crystal's Development, it's received a few Awards from different communities where it used to be maintained. ~Annual Hack Award~ The Annual Hack Award is an Award given to a hack which has been chosen to be the best of the current year out of all actively maintained hacks on the community. This Award was given to Pokémon: Liquid Crystal at the time when Beta 1.1 was first released on Pkmn Hackers Online, a popular ROM Hacking forum now known as ROM Hackers Online and actively maintained by me. ![]() ~Hack of the Month~ The Hack of the Month is a competition which goes on at the Pokécommunity forums. A group of people will vote the best hacks from the month, and the public will vote for the best one. In April 2009, on the 25th Pokémon: Liquid Crystal 2.1 was released on the Forums there. It was given this award on the same month. ![]() ~Hack of the Year~ Hack of the Year is one of the biggest ROM Hacking competitions on the Pokécommunity Forums. They give various Awards to different hacks under a set amount of categories. In 2010, Pokémon: Liquid Crystal received first place for the Best Gameplay Award, along with some other Awards too. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We get a lot of questions asked every day about Pokémon: Liquid Crystal, so we decided to answer some of the most asked questions here in this list. Please make sure to read this section before posting to ask a question.
Spoiler:
![]() ![]() We make a huge effort to document and fix all reported bugs at some point during development. We can't do that if people don't report them, so here is how to correctly report a bug: Use the form below as an example: Quote:
Spoiler:
~Where To Report Bugs~ I'll accept a bug report from any of the following listed places.
Please only use one of the above methods, not YouTube Comments or Visitor Messages. ![]() ![]() The Live Beta system is a system where we make constant releases and patches by incrementing a build number and uploading the new IPS. We then keep adding to this IPS and people can download the new one instantly. Here's how it works in a nutshell.
If you have any questions about the Live Beta, then feel free to ask, or if you don't understand how the Live Beta works, then read this post for a more detailed explanation. The key thing to remember is, check the Build Number and the Diary below, as well as remember the download link and file name never changes. ~The Liquid Crystal Development Diary~ Whenever we make a notable fix we let you know right away. A member of the team will post a message informing people of the change over on the Pokémon Liquid Crystal Project Page on ROM Hackers Online Social. If you want to get constant updates on what's going on, you will find all the latest updates on that page. ~Build History~ With every build increment we make we write down the date and time, the old Build Number and the new Build Number, along with a short description of what the fix/change was. Here's what a single entry looks like: Quote:
![]() We have a full list of these accessible from the page linked above, as well as right here. It's a good idea to bookmark this link so you can check it to see when something changed and if you need to re-download it. I introduce the @PkmnLCUpdates Twitter account. From now on when I update the build, the changes will be tweeted to this account. Simply follow this and you'll be notified of new builds instantly. Please note however that this is not a Pokémon Liquid Crystal Twitter account for everything, it's only for build update notifications and nothing else, so it will not respond to any messages and/or followers. Also, if you get into my IRC on the #romhacking or #liquidcrystal channels, you can type ".lcbuild" and you will be given the latest build change automatically. Just a quick shortcut, you can get in via the Official Liquid Crystal site or RHO. ~Required Emulator For Proper Playing~ Due to new hacks performed on the latest version of Liquid Crystal, the emulator required to play the hack is Visual Boy Advance 1.8.0 Beta 3. Other emulators such as Gpsp and Gameboid are currently supported, and I'm working on adding full support for Flash Carts. I prepared a pack which includes ticked options for playing the latest version of Pokémon: Liquid Crystal. This can be downloaded from here from the Official Pokémon: Liquid Crystal site at the bottom of the page. ![]() ![]() So, here it is, the download link for the Live Beta IPS patch. Remember to read everything in this thread/page before playing and asking questions. The download page will contain a list of mirrors, which are all suitable if available. Pokémon: Liquid Crystal Live Beta Download ~Other Very Useful Links~ These links were mentioned in the above texts, but here they are again for quick referencing. Required Emulator to play(bottom of page) The place to get all the latest News & Updates Build Change history list(Bookmark this!) @PkmnLCUpdates Twitter account for new Build Notifications. Preferred place to report bugs and glitches for faster fixing IPS Patcher for Windows - Required to play each time ![]() ![]() So, I hope you enjoy Pokémon: Liquid Crystal. Remember to read the thread fully before playing. Any and all feedback on the game is welcomed. Last edited by Alice; 3rd March 2018 at 02:05 AM. |

As always, Liquid Crystal looks fantastic! Very good job on everything and all your hard work will pay off. It's absurd that I haven't played it yet, but I'm really eager to finally do that. I might just download it now...
By the way, what battle sprites did "Keyrin" exactly provide you? Because that's me!

Well, I guess this is a good time to introduce...
![]() ![]() For those that remember in the past, I opened a competition for people to submit a trainer, and have the chance of them being inserted into the game. Well, It's time to open that up again, but for the Orange Islands. Last time, I asked people to choose a location and point in the game for their trainer to appear. This time, you can submit a trainer and they will be placed somewhere in the Orange Islands. The moves will be up to the AI to decide, and the levels will be determined by where I place them. ~How To Sign Up~ Fill out the form below, and submit via PM like before. If my box is full, then send me an email using the contact information for bug reports on the first post. Trainer Name: No silly names like "DaBoss7722". Trainer Class: Cooltrainer, Youngster etc. Trainer Items: Can have a max of 4 usable items in battle. Trainer's Pokémon: Can have up to 6 Pokémon. Before Battle dialog: Beaten dialog: After Battle dialog: So, let the Trainer Request 2013 begin! |
