So what's the best of the three?
Pyrite, Complex or Perfect?

Basically I just want to play Pokémon Crystal, but be able to catch all the Pokémon.
Now from what I'm getting, these three all do what I want.
But now I suffer "kid in a candy store syndrome" I'm spoiled for choice and don't know which one to go for.

Pyrite Pros:
>once you enter the gym, you're in for good until you lose or win
>level caps (could be a con to some tbhfam, I don't mind it)
>neither you or the opponent can use items in battle
>not major but it literally just swaps Raikou and Suicunes roles; and we all know Raikou > Suicune > Entei
>Viridian Forest, Cerulean Cave and Seafoam Islands, exist
>all legendary Pokémon are obtained through in game events iirc

Pyrite Cons:
>can't rematch trainers; PokéGear is strictly for mummy, Elmo and Bill
>"tryhards to be hard" if you get what I mean; giving everyone and their mother 6 high-level Pokémon
Honestly not much of a con but it seems tedious.
>shinies are everywhere and recoloured (tbf could be a positive to some)

---

Perfect Crystal Pros:
>Trainer levels match HGSS
>Talk to Gym Leaders to rematch them
>Reusable TM's
>B to Run

Perfect Crystal Cons:
>dumb evolution methods for previously tradeable evo Pokémon; "Machoke evolves into Machamp with a Sun Stone"
>previously non-obtainable Legendary Pokémon are random encounters

---

Complex Crystal Pros:
>not obnoxious difficulty increase

Complex Crystal Cons:
>no quality of life improvements like the others have (running, reusable TMs)

Actually, writing this out I think I might just dl Perfect and edit my gripes with it myself since they're easy enough to edit.
"Perfect+"

So what do you guys think? Which one would you recommend?
Is there a romhack I'm overlooking which blows them all out of the water?
