One of the most interesting things about Crystal Clear is it's character customization. Crystal Clear is about going on your own adventure, free from the linearity & narrative pull the games originally had. Rather than spending an entire essay advertising the game, I'll say that it's essentially an open world take on Pokemon, in which the player is allowed to move between the towns freely and start in either region. Then, in what seemed to be pure happenstance, I was informed about Crystal Clear - a rom hack, built upon my favourite game of the franchise - Crystal. My friend, Satellite09 recently took part in the Viser League Tournament (an art battle tournament charity zine). Pokemon will soon be relevant again, with the free-to-play Pokemon Masters being released August 29th and Sword & Shield releasing on November 15th.
I did purchase both Pokemon Moon & Y in recent years, though I didn't play them for long. Though my interest in the franchise hasn't really persisted into adulthood, whether it be because of changes to the game franchise or a lack of free time. Even those mislabeled Telefang games, Diamond & Jade. I owned every one of the games, between Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Gold, Silver, and Crystal. When I was a kid - like most kids, I suppose - I was really into Pokemon.
