Pokemon Sour Crystal is an ‘improvement hack’ of Pokemon Crystal that has been 5 years in the making, created with the mindset of updating Crystal to current-gen standards but without losing the nostalgic feel of the original. The hack has many features that may make playing it more comfortable for newer players such as the “PPS” system. RTC is disabled.
