Wow. That's pretty much all I can say.
I love this game! I've only had it for a few hours and already it's incredible. The intro sequence in itself is almost enough to warrant a review (perhaps not, but I loved it) - and the little Pichu is so cute when Suicune runs past it!! I haven't even got to Violet City yet and already I've noticed the changes. I'm a girl (yahoo! With a cute pink bag!), Pokemon keep moving when I'm fighting them (yay!) and I've already got a phone number from a guy who promises to give me things. *big fat smile*
So, anyway, the actual review. OK, the big differences in Crystal are that you can now play as a girl trainer (if you're a girl or if, like me, you're just fed up of being a boy) and also that when the Pokemon come onto the screen in a battle, they do a little jig! (Cyndaquil goes all flamey, Chikorita swings round its leaf, Pidgey flaps its wings, etc etc) I think the graphics have changed a bit as well, little redrawing perhaps. It has the advantage of having Gold/Silver's great graphical quiality with more freedom of choice. Also, apparently later on the Unown come into play much more, and Suicune has a bigger part to play (duh, he's on the box!). From what I've read, there's also a special thingy where you can get things off the radio, more people give you things (hands up all those who found it sooo annoying when there was never enough of anything in Gold/Silver) and there is also a battle tower, plus a PokeSeer who tells you where/when you caught your Pokemon and how happy it is.
Overall,if you're not Pokemon's biggest fan and have Gold and Silver, then you'd best steer clear and wait for the next generation (please, Nintendo . . . please!!!), but if you love it enough to appreciate the little tweaks and adjustments, it's a solid buy.

...wait until you see this!This beautiful Pokémon game has many many new features changed or added from the Gold and Silver versions,including Battle Tower and the Seer.Although most of the good stuff in the Japanease version was taken out by Nintendo in translation :( it's still a worthwhile buy,even if only to get your Marowak with Swords Dance or Cloyster with Spikes.Definately the best Poké game yet.There's only one thing left to clear up:YOU CANNOT CATCH CELEBI IN THE ENGLISH CRYSTAL.This and the Mobile Adapter were the 2 main things all English and American Pokéfans were looking foward too,but Nintendo had to go and take them out.Interestingly enough,when you enter a certain GameShark code,you find out that Nintendo translated it but didn't keep it in the game.Thanks so much Nintendo...

Pokemon Crystal is the 6 of 8 Pokemon games (Green and Purple are to come) and it is really just the same as Gold or Silver apart from 2 new types (Dark and Steel) of Pokemon. I would reccommend it but it has its graphic let-dows.

The special edition of Gold and Silver is finally here and proves to be better than yellow was. Yellow was meant to be based around the tv series but only that you got a Pikachu and Joy and Jenny were in the game. But Crystal keeps to the same formula as a normal pokemon game with more features. The new feaures are exceptional. The chance for female gamers able to choose to be a female is a good new feature (being a female in the game changes what some people in the game give to you). The battle tower is a great place to train your pokemon and the chance of catching Sucinue in a normal battle instead of the annoying way you have to catch the legendry dogs. If you are a poemaniac or new to the world of pokemon then this is a excellent addition to you collection.

This review is about Pokemon: Crystal Version For Gameboy Colour.
The first "lot" of Pokemon was Blue,Red and Yellow. They were a hit, but people wanted more so Nintendo later came to Gameboy Colour again with "lot 2". This was Gold, Silver and of course, Crystal. They were another hit they had add-ons for sure: A Mobile Phone, A Radio, Two Regions, 16 Badges, Colour, 251 Pokemon, Day and night, Breeding Facility and New Dark and Steel Types.
The delay for female Pokemon fans was carrying on until Crystal came along. This game had the same up-grades as Gold and Silver and a few more: The option to be a Girl or Boy Trainer and new and improved battle animation. I think this means that Pokemon Crystal is the best Gameboy Colour pokemon game around. So don't buy Ruby or Sapphire just yet. Think about it.

Pokémon has stepprd into the Johto area. The game is basically has the same goals as all the other pokémon games, catch 'em all. However, this version is slightly different to Gold/Silver. It has moving pokémon, see a wild pokémon, it moves. I would totally recommend this game to anyone with an interest in pokémon as you can explore Johto AND Kanto. Plenty to keep you busy. Not to be missed. It gets the official Dr. Wolves stamp of approval. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

I thought Gold and Silver were good but this game is excellent the pokemon move which is so cool it will keep you glued to the screen for as long as the batterys last but then youll just go to the nereast shop and get some more I would really recomend this game if your a pokemaniac or you want to buy pokemon crystal as your first game

Hi guys, I haven't bought the game. But just a word of warning to anyone coming on here to buy them. These game is now over 15 years old. There is a very tiny battery (smaller than a watch battery) which keeps your save games. These battery's are now expiring! Meaning you cannot save your game any more. Gold, Silver and Crystal are 3 of the best pokemon games they have made. These batteries are changeable however you need a VERY small screwdriver and a specialized battery to do the change. By all means buy this amazing game but be prepared to have a little fiddle with it first!

This game, Pokemon Crystal is by face value a very forgettable game among the earlier waves of Pokemon games, especially when compared to Red, Blue & Yellow. Around this time the initial Poke Hype had died down a little and therefore this game was sort of neglected. However this game is an absolute gem and the definitive Pokemon experience available today. The game itself takes place in the Johto region 3 years after the events in Red, Blue, Yellow and the subsequent remakes. The game play is the same old Pokemon formula of open world exploration with a dash of Rpg battle system, where you capture Pokemon and fight other trainers with their Pokemon, your goal is to collect the 8 badges of the Johto league and become the champion, same old stuff am i right? Well what sets this game aside from the others is in Crystal version you are presented with the opportunity to go to the Kanto region after beating the Johto league, this in itself has only been done in the generation 2 games and the remakes,and is a cool feature which adds tonnes of post game content. This game is an old classic with enough simplicity for even the most inexperienced Pokemon players to play and get through without a problem, it also contains enough challenges for even the most die hard Pokemon masters to have a good stab at, with an added 100 pokemon to keep the pokemon hunters at bay and an added 86 moves to freshen it up enough for old time fans to give it a go and even 2 new pokemon types Dark and Steel for an added bonus!, Basically this game takes what was an amazing game and adds a whole new layer of story, new pokemon, a whole new region & another set of gyms to conquer! This game is the best one to date in my opinion and i would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thankyou for reading! 5/5 stars
