Here's why:
* Complexity: Randomizing a game like Pokemon Crystal requires changing numerous aspects, like:
* Pokemon encounters
* Trainer teams
* Item placements
* Movepools
* Stats and abilities
* Gameshark Limitations: Gameshark codes are designed to manipulate specific values in the game's code. They are not capable of the complex logic and data manipulation required for true randomization.
Alternatives:
1. Dedicated Randomizers: You'll find dedicated randomizers specifically made for Pokemon Crystal (like the "Crystal Randomizer" by "Project Pokemon"). These programs offer various randomization options and are specifically designed for this purpose.
2. ROM Hacking: More advanced users can manually modify the game's data using ROM editing software. This allows for greater customization but requires more technical expertise.
Note: Using randomizers and ROM hacks can potentially introduce glitches or bugs into the game, so proceed with caution and back up your original game files.
