A hand-commented disassembly of Pokemon Crystal.

The source code in this repository compiles into an exact copy of the base rom. It can be freely edited.

Pokemon - Crystal Version (UE) (V1.0) [C][!].gbc
md5: 9f2922b235a5eeb78d65594e82ef5dde

Eventually, the base rom won't be necessary.

Getting Started

Other things pokecrystal does:

Automatic image compression. Just add or change a png in the repository and compile.
Built-in scripting engines for map events, music, attack effects and animations.
Tons of disassembly tools to take apart other game boy games.

Contributions are welcome.

This is awesome! Big thanks to everyone who worked on that. This is going to teach me a lot about move effect asm.
I can't seem to find the data responsible for trainer AI. Is it there somwhere?

When it is completed, the base rom will not be required.
Getting Started - Now compiles on Windows in a single click.
Contributions are welcome.

So, this Pokémon Crystal disassembly. So, that means that if I change things, and assemble, it has been changed in the ROM?

Yes.

Awesome! This is definitely going to help me in my hack! Thanks and congrats to everyone who worked on the dissasembly!

Now you can change everything you WANT, and is possible with the Game Boy limits, to change!

It's not disassembled yet. It looks like that function is at F:67C1. You can generate it using gbz80disasm.py in extras/ from the command line or by gbz80disasm.output_bank_opcodes(address)[0]. Here is an example output of F:67C1.

Code or data that you can't find in main.asm is still included from the base rom:

INCBIN "baserom.gbc", start, length

Generally length is better formatted as end - start:

INCBIN "baserom.gbc", start, end - start

The goal is to remove all the incbins.

There is currently no Gold/Silver disassembly.

Those features could be added to Gold, but if you haven't started a hack yet you should just use Crystal. Most hacks are of Gold/Silver because Crystal never had much documentation.

Because 99% are identical...

Gold documentation was written with the implication that it didn't apply to Crystal, since the addresses differed and the authors didn't bother to check in both games since they were hacking Gold. For someone poking at a rom with a hex editor it may as well be a different game. And frankly documentation is really sparse anyway.

This has been mostly disassembled now. The part you are probably interested in (move selection) is done.

AIChooseMove is called at the beginning of each turn (before you can choose your move). Moves are scored based on a few sets of rules, depending on the opponent's trainer class. These layers can be found in battle/ai/scoring.asm.

The first three layers and AIChooseMove are very similar to their counterparts in Red.
