Pokemon Crystal Pikachu Edition (rom hack)

Givemesteak · Jun 5, 2026

Pokémon Crystal – Pikachu Edition brings the most iconic Pikachu features from Pokémon Yellow into Pokémon Crystal. Pikachu is now your only starter and follows you throughout your journey, complete with expressive pop-up animations, unique cries, and the classic mood progression system. Your partner Pikachu also receives improved stats and, just like in Pokémon Yellow, refuses to evolve with a Thunder Stone.

this is early work but I have some of it working already.

This is still in progress and makes rather heavy engine modifications, expect that there may be bugs.

please feel free to report any bugs here, I would appreciate it!
I will do my best to fix any bugs that may surface (however gamebreaking bugs will take priority)

There are several know issues in the current build, including some game breaking bugs.
I am working on a new build that attempts to fix all known gamebreaking bugs.
I have a build that allows you to reach much further into the game, (tested into Goldenrod City), However, squash one bug and another one appears. Luckily so far the only known bugs are visual sprite related that happens in certain scenarios and I feel confident that these can be resolved.

As soon as the remaining know bugs are fixed and I have a somewhat stable build then I will release a new .ipa patch.
