Pokemon Crystal Key Item Randomizer
Warning
This project is no longer maintained. If you're looking for a great
Pokemon Crystal randomizer experience, please check
out ERC's 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; things are
looking stable.
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 ever
talking to Floria in the Flower Shop or 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 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.
-
new The player may skip
straight to the 5F right side to battle with the Rocket boss
if the player has the CARD_KEY; after defeating the
Rocket boss, the item from the 5F left side
(vanilla BASEMENT_KEY) will be available in an
itemball nearby.
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.
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.
Expanded Logic
These are obscure and/or newly-discovered bits of vanilla game
logic. They're safe to use, but they're sure to surprise some
players.
-
The Blackbelt that blocks the player from reaching Viridian
City via the Pokemon League Reception Gate (after Victory
Road) disappears after the player fights the Snorlax; in this
case, the player can reach western Kanto
without HM01.
