Pokemon Polished Crystal, Episode 1: Familiar, Yet Different

After the unpolished gem that was Liquid Crystal, how about we look at a hack of Gen 2 that does what Liquid Crystal attempted to do, but with better results? I played an earlier version of this hack before, but this is my first time playing this version, so this could be seen as a semi-blind playthrough.

The only ruleset I'm following for this one on what pokemon I can use is that I can't use any of the pokemon I catch (unless they're shiny), but stuff I get as a gift, from trades, or from hatching eggs are fair game.

Also, this is my first alt-tech exclusive series. I got fed up with Google's bullshit, so I will no longer be uploading content on Youtube.

WARNING: My videos include crude humor and harsh language, they're largely unscripted and unfiltered, and they're not for kids. My intended target audience won't be offended by a little swearing, so I don't want to see any whining from pearl-clutching, deadbeat parents who refuse to take responsibility for what their children are doing online.
