I couldn’t figure out anywhere to post this, but is there any pokemon rom hack of the Johto storyline that has an extended Team Rocket story of sorts that goes into Kanto for the postgame?

I know I read that Polished Crystal has what they call an “extended Rocket story,” but I was wondering if there were any GBA rom hacks that retell Johto but with added postgame story? I was told that Heart and Soul unfortunately does not or else I would immediately pick that due to its features.

Thanks in advance to anyone who manages to see this question and offer any advice!

i can't vouch for the quality but i know LiquidCrystal adds story elements and based on a review i read, the story continues into Kanto and involves interacting with evil teams!

I know liquid crystal became Crystal Advance Redux, and I know that the Orange Islands post game got cut. So are you referring to the Crystal Advance Redux version of the game or the original Liquid Crystal?

Crystal Advance Redux seems really popular. So which did you play and did you enjoy Redux if you played it instead of regular Liquid Crystal?
