Pokemon Crystal Legacy Features Include
Features Dynamic Gym Leader level scaling for ‘non linear’ part of Johto region. The team’s and levels of Chuck, Pryce and Jasmine scale to whether you have 5, 6, or 7 badges or not.
- Gym Leader teams optimized. Leaders see more Generation 2 representation, while still retaining their original aces (in example: Bugsy keeps his Scyther, but Metapod and Kakuna are replaced with Pineco and Ledian). Movepools see increasing diversity as well as complexity. Gym Leaders use held items.
- Improved level curve. Pokemon Crystal Legacy Gym leaders and trainers no longer fall off in the late mid-game, only to spike in the Elite Fuur. The game now sees a more linear rise in leveling, with expanding trainer teams to provide more EXP. Players who don’t grind will still be under leveled to the champion, but this is intentional and typical for most Pokémon games.
