The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

This 'improvement hack' of Pokemon Crystal has been 5 years in the making. It was created with the mindset of updating Crystal to 'current-gen' standards but without losing the nostalgic feel of the original. The hack has many features that may make playing it more comfortable for newer players such as the "PPS" system (pokeride).
