Pokemon Crystal Key Item Randomizer

Randomizer

To randomize your ROM, select a crystal-speedchoice.gbc ROM file below.

The seed used to randomize your ROM will be present in the randomized ROM's filename.

About

Status: beta?; there is a slightly elevated risk of bugs and unbeatable seeds.

Experimental features carry a higher risk of bugs and unbeatable seeds.

This randomizer shuffles around HMs and key items; for example, instead of HM01, the player might receive the OLD ROD.

The RAINBOW WING is not randomized.

PokeGear cards are not randomized.

All seeds generated by the randomizer should be beatable up to the user-specified endgame condition.

Compatibility

This randomizer supports Crystal Speedchoice v6.

Other randomizations (TMs, encounters, moves, etc.) should work alongside the key item randomizations without conflict. Be sure to apply the key item randomization after all other randomizations.

The following speedchoice settings are required:

Name	Value
Kanto Access	Normal

Changes

In order to make for a more interesting randomizer experience, and in order to prevent some hardlocks, the randomizer patches the following changes into the game:

The player does not need to return the MYSTERY EGG to Professor Elm.
The player does not need HM01 to progress through Ilex Forest.
The player may obtain the Flower Shop item even after defeating the Sudowoodo.
The player may obtain the Flower Shop item without talking to Floria in the Flower Shop; the player must still talk to Floria on Route 36.
The player may take the train without having fixed the Power Plant, as long as the player has the PASS.
The player may obtain the Cianwood Pharmacy item even if the player have already returned the SECRETPOTION to Jasmine.
The player may take the SS Aqua without having beaten the Elite 4, on any day of the week, as long as the player has the S.S. TICKET.
The player may obtain the Pokemon Fan Club item at any time after fixing the Power Plant.
The player may obtain the Cerulean Gym item even after fixing the Power Plant by talking to the Power Plant manager again after handing over the MACHINE PART.
The player may obtain the Underground Warehouse item at any time during of after Team Rocket takes over the Radio Tower; during the takeover, the Radio Tower Director will have the item, and after the takeover the item will be nearby in an item ball.
The player may obtain all of the Goldenrod items (in vanilla: BICYCLE, COIN CASE, BLUE CARD, and SQUIRTBOTTLE), as well as the Radio Card, at any time, even during the Team Rocket Radio Tower takeover.

Known Issues

If the player uses the BASEMENT KEY to visit the Underground Warehouse before Tean Rocket takes over the Radio Tower, the Underground Warehouse will be totally empty. There is no consequence to doing this, it's just a waste of time.
If badge randomization is enabled, the gym leader's dialogue will not reveal which badge the player obtained; however, the player card will correctly display which badges the player has.
The player must defeat the Rocket Executives in the Goldenrod Radio Tower in the same order as in vanilla; the player cannot skip the first one and go directly to the last one.

Advice

If you can make it to Viridian City, then you can access Victory Road and the Elite 4 with any number of badges.
The Ice Path item is accessible after collecting 7 badges.
