Pokemon Prism, a fan project based on Nintendo’s Pokemon franchise, has been cancelled a few days before its Dec. 25 release, the developer announced today. Adam, the sole creator of the ROM hack, took to the hack’s official Facebook page to briefly explain the reason.
As far as fan games go Pokemon Prism is a fulfilling experience. Restructuring Pokemon Crystal with modern elements makes for a refreshing take.

"Pokemon rom hacks are everywhere, from the awesome Light Platinum to the strange Moemon there are plenty of new experiences developed by fans of the original games. One of the more prominent hacks back in the day was Pokemon Brown, a hack of Pokemon Red. Now, that same team has created a new hack from Pokemon Crystal, known as Pokemon Prism version. We've covered Prism briefly when it was first announced and being played on the Twitch Plays Pokemon channel. Now, the team is ready for a full release, sending out the patch file for free for the holidays."

damn all those years wasted.
Of course they did. Nintendo shuts down anything fan related. Even getting two fan made projects removed from the Game Awards.
But the game's story and sidequests were completed..I'd consider it a mercy that Nintendo didn't do this sooner. Nintendo did their job, and the game is out there..
I'm sorry but this is what you get when you spend all that time and slap someone else's trademarked name on it. Why do people still pour so much time on someone's creation instead of making something your own. Be creative and make your own legacy and even get to sell it.
