Pokemon Lucent Crystal v1.2 is available now! In addition to the features below, you can see the full list of features available in this romhack in previous release notes. This release has two versions - one with post-Generation 4 ghost Pokemon added to a Lucent Crystal-exclusive post-game area to celebrate Halloween (Pokemon.Lucent.Crystal.v1.2.ups), and another that does not include these additional ghost Pokemon (Pokemon.Lucent.Crystal.v1.2_unspoopy.ups).
If using the version of the patch that does not include later gen ghost Pokemon, the spoiler logs for generation 4 Pokemon locations can also be found in the v1.0 release attachments.
New Features:
- Select post-Generation 4 ghost Pokemon added to a particular area to celebrate Halloween! Only if using Pokemon.Lucent.Crystal.v1.2.ups, learn sets have been adjusted to add HM use and surf sprites added where applicable.
- Heart and Soul Unseen Battles fully implemented, two new superboss trainers are now available - huge thank you to Apple40Slicer!
- Added Earth Power and Iron Head to BP move tutors.
- Made additional items purchasable from in-game vendors or via BP in the Fighting Dojo. See Pokeball vendor in Fighting Dojo, incense vendor outside Johto Safari Zone, and Melemele Island store after fully completing Alola storyline.
- Adjusted held items for certain wild Pokemon to ensure player is not locked out of certain items or to make sure they aren't one-time items.
- Finneon now available via good rod in Johto Safari zone.
- Additional small adjustments to polish player experience.
Bug Fixes:
- Small tile changes on certain maps and spritesheets (Mahogany Town, Route 15, Viridian Forest, etc.) to fix incorrect tile or layering issues.
- Moved hidden Fairy Gem item on Route 8 so it is now obtainable.
- Changed text about how to evolve certain Pokemon in Violent City Trainer School.
- Fixed text overflow for Pass key item.
- Added Flash Cannon to the Electrode line's learnable moves so it can be learned via TM in addition to level up.
If you are using an existing LC, HnS 2.0+, or HnS Gen 4 Expansion save, be sure to enter a Pokemon Center and save before using your save file with this romhack. Please note that this romhack is very new and, while I've tested as thoroughly as I can personally, there may still be some bugs. Use an existing save at your own risk. Please make a back up of your existing HnS 2.0+ save before playing!
Please report any Lucent Crystal-specific issues to Torizo (nettorizo) on the Heart and Soul Discord server.
