Hack description

Back in 2011, the author created two very simple "restoration" patches for Pokemon Gold & Silver that added back in some censored art which Nintendo removed for English-speaking audiences. At least one person seemed to like it, and over the years the author received requests to give Pokemon Crystal the same treatment (mostly from that one person).

With the advent of the Pokemon Crystal Disassembly this became a far simpler task, so the author finally put together this patch. If you want to experience the cut Japanese content, without any of the improvements or changes that other Pokemon Crystal mods provide, this might be the ROM hack for you!

Alters the Beauty, Swimmer, Fisherman, Sage, and Medium trainer classes

Alters the now animated normal and Shiny versions of Jynx

Restores the original layout of Goldenrod City Pokemon Center and two associated "quests"

Restores cut dialogue in Ruins of Alph and the Bike Shop signs

One new room, and they messed it up	Thirteen 1355	2019-10-20	Version 1.0
This hack replaces the Poké Center with a bigger one. Two of the NPCs inside are bugged. One is missing walking animations, and another leads you to a softlock screen that tells you the game's only designed for Game Boy Color (normally shown when you put Crystal in a regular Game Boy console).

Awesome, just need one little change.	JulianoFdeS	2018-07-06	Version 1.0
This hack is good, but not completed yet, to call it a restoration, it must: Restore Sonicboom's animation. But great work, overall.
