Polished Crystal 3.1.0 – Official Release

This is the official Polished Crystal 3.1.0 release. It’s fully playable from start to finish and incorporates major overhauls to gameplay, mechanics, and quality-of-life improvements detailed in our README.

For 3.0.0-beta or 3.0.0 saves wishing to upgrade, check out the Polished Crystal Save Patcher. It can update saves between older and newer save formats (3.0.0-beta ➔ 3.1.0, etc.). Make sure to back up your save and follow the instructions on the patcher’s page.

All downloaded assets have an 8-character "commit hash" that identifies the exact code they’re built from.

.gbc Assets

These are the main ROMs:

  • Regular: Standard Polished Crystal with the new content and features.
  • -faithful: Omits some non-canon changes for a closer-to-vanilla feel.
  • Debug Builds: ROMs with additional debugging tools enabled for testing and development purposes.

To play, download one of these .gbc files and load it in an accurate Game Boy Color emulator such as BGB, mGBA, or Gambatte. Do not use VBA or VBA-M.

.sym Assets

These are symbol files used for debugging, exploring memory, or discovering cheat codes. Note that cheats aren’t officially supported and may cause bugs or crashes. Do not ask the developers for cheat codes.

.patch Assets

These are 3DS Virtual Console patches that enable trading and battling over Wi-Fi on 3DS VC. You can combine the .gbc ROM and corresponding .patch file into a playable .cia using poke-cia. This is for experienced users who want to play on a modded 3DS.

polishedcrystal Debug Assets

These extra builds (ROM and symbol files) have additional debugging features enabled for development and bug-fixing. They’re not recommended for standard play.

New in Polished Crystal 3.1.0:

  • Add Mind's Eye ability
  • Add Bloodmoon ursaluna
  • Add Candy Jar + Experience Candy
  • Re-Add Gameboy Printer support (Diploma)
  • Add Pokemon Go Hideout + Galarian Bird events

A more detailed changelog will be released soon.
