    We have a new 1.0.9 bug fix update now live!
    The new patch is in the 1.0.9 link in the description. Old saves SHOULD work fine, however please save in a pokecenter before updating otherwise you risk corrupting your save. You should again patch your own legally acquired CLEAN BASE YELLOW ROM, do NOT apply the patch to an already patched Yellow Legacy ROM. Please be smart, take a backup of your save before updating just to be safe.
    New Patch: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZIWtHvyn51snAM4lFJEyuDyLrLt-TF-i?usp=drive_link
    Patcher: www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/
    PSA: Before you get started patching anything, load your base yellow ROM into rom patcher js (or a hash checker) and check the SHA-1 hash. The base yellow hash should be SHA-1: cc7d03262ebfaf2f06772c1a480c7d9d5f4a38e1. If it is not exactly this, you have a modified or bootleg yellow ROM and you will have to find a real one. Similarly the hash of your 1.0.9 patched ROM should be SHA-1: 5cedd531b157ccebc74dbaae25f7945711975624, again if this is not exactly this, you have done something wrong and should repatch.

      Grass is still extremely redundant though. Water covers the same weaknesses, except it also beats fire. You can say the same for rock and lightning as well. Fixing the accuracy for those is a nice change though because rock moves are good if they had higher accuracy. Though by fixing some of the type weirdness and weird moves that does change the meta a little bit. Grass still isn't going to be non redundant, but they might have more use in the end game content that was added.
      If they limited the types so that each type can only be good against 2 types. Then that might have fixed some of the huge problems the type chart still has today. In a way that makes it so you don't need to add more types to the game. Yet still could for flavor anyway.

      Out of context, yes, it’s very interesting.
      However, it does allow the team to deal with the issue of “smart” AI where certain trainers would use super-effective-type moves against you endlessly… even if those moves don’t do any damage
      For a prime example, one of Lance’s Pokémon can be cheesed by throwing in a poison type pokemon - even at a super low level - and Lance’s Pokémon will continue to use Agility, which is a Psychic type attack, and because trainer Pokémon don’t have to deal with PP limitations like the player does, it will continue to do this until you either switch Pokémon or Struggle out

    I got to say the one thing I love about your Legacy games is the way you guys handled the types. It's actually kind of amazing how simply switching the category of damage Ghost and Dark types do in Crsystal Legacy drastically changes the balance for the better. Fighting types get a reliable option against psychics depsite not being stab and as a consolation Psychics got Shadow Ball to deal with ghost types. Also Dark and Ghost types benefit simply due to the fact Dark or Ghost type pokemon stats always felt counter to what the type of damage their stab moves do. Dragon being physcial and getting Slam is also amazing and I can't wait for Emerald legacy later this year. You guys did an amazing job as always!

      The line is literally based on a horse. Horses kick when they're spooked so it makes sense.

What I'm saying is that someone replied to my OG comment saying that HJK's original name in Japanese is more akin to a knee strike instead of a kick, and that HJK is a mistranslation. Something like that, I haven't re-read his comment. Anyways, point being that Jump Kick would've made more sense than HJK since horses kick with their legs and not their knees.

      @@denis2381 it’s a rom hack everyone makes them if you don’t like it then don’t watch it that simple. Going around starting stuff isn’t gonna help your case. Just seems like a snitch to me. I support the game so you are like the only one in the comments that is against it. Go find something to do
