Pokemon Polished Crystal is a ROM hack of the original Pokemon Crystal. This ROM hack can be played on a Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and even better on a Gameboy Advance emulator.
The hack itself uses elements from Crystal which includes the graphics, music, and even the story.
Like any ROM hack, thereโs more to this than just a rehash of Pokemon Crystal.
The Story
The story as we mentioned is the same as Crystal. You start at New Bark town and go on to finish your Pokemon quest in Kanto.

While the story is the same, there are some elements to it that have been altered. There really isnโt anything to worry about and if youโve played the original Crystal, then that wouldnโt be too much of an issue.

Features
In relation to the story, just as we mentioned there are changes. A lot of the changes are good such as having characters from the HeartGold and SoulSilver coming in to make an appearance. There are also some characters removed in the Pokemon Polished Crystal but thatโs not a bad thing.
New areas were also added based on the Generation IV remakes. The Pokemon roster is also increased up to those from Generation VI. This also means that the Fairy-type has been added and all available Pokemon have their stats and types updated until Generation VI.
The Pokemon Nature is also added which wasnโt a thing until Generation III hit. New moves and TMs that are reusable are also added to the game. Donโt forget about other new items, especially those that are used to evolve Pokemon that would only evolve through trading.
There are also new in-game events that you can partake in when you have the time. Finally, those that are brave enough can also engage in the gameโs Nuzlocke Mode which can be optionally toggled for a more challenging experience.

Hey, itโs me again, this time one month later, I found a bunch of Game shark codes for the ROM hack.
I made a post on Reddit, so hereโs the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/o4yhiv/cheats_for_pokรฉmon_polished_crystal/
Before any of you might say โthank youโ, you guys are always welcome ;)
P.S. These codes wonโt work on Beta v3.0.0. Nightly, although they will work on v2.2.0. and downwards.
Are you guys able to find any Gameshark codes for this ROM hack? Thanks.
We donโt have cheat codes for this game as of yet. Sorry.
I have working cheat for bag items
Whatโs the code for the items list? Does it include rare candy?
This code rewrites the first item in the medicine bagโฆ
