Pokemon, Crystal Version
Pokémon Crystal is to Crystal. This is one of the best and most addictive role-playing games for the Game Boy Color.
The most notable feature is the selectable female trainer who has her own set of animations and backgrounds. This is a great option for female Pokémon fans who were previously stuck playing the game as a male character. There are also subtle improvements to the cell phone system, HM moves, and prebattle animations. Rival trainers phone calls are now more plentiful and pragmatic. HM moves, which are required throughout the game, are available at the push of a button–youll no longer have to navigate menus to use these moves. Lastly, seeing a Pokémons new animation makes encountering new creatures more fun than before.
If you havent played Gold or Silver yet, Crystal is definitely the way to go. If youve played those previous games, Crystal has only enough new features to justify a purchase from Pokémon fanatics. This game is compatible with the link cable, Game Boy printer, and Pokémon Pikachu 2. Its playable on Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance only, and can be played on a television using Pokémon Stadium 2 and a Transfer Pak. –Raymond M. Padilla
Pros:
- New female trainer
- Prebattle animations are cute
- Lots of subtle improvements
- Too similar to Gold and Silver
- Mobile phone features not in the U.S. version
Why Buy A Pokemon, Crystal Version?
Pokémon Crystal is to Pokémon Gold and Silver what Pokémon Yellow is to Pokémon Red and Blue. It features several minor upgrades from its predecessors, but in essence its still the same game. The classic Pokémon formula of adventuring, collecting, and battling is at a series best with Crystal. This is one of the best and most addictive role-playing games for the Game Boy Color.

Customer Reviews & Opinions
Even with Pearl and Diamond out there, this one stands out!
This is my favorite Pokemon Version of them all (so far). Even with Pearl and Diamond out, and all the others, this one is my favorite. I like it because it’s origanal, and pretty much all the pokemon that were in the older versions are in this one. It has the best music of them all too! Plus there are two reigons to beat! The reigon from Red and Blue, and the new reigon! 16 gyms! Plus, all the first legendary pokemon from the classic part of the show with Misty and Brock are in this game too.
you also get cool accecories like a cell phone and radio (in the game) so you don’t have to walk all the way backto your home town to talk to your mom in the game.I also like the item and pokemon copier cheat. It’s simple, and doesn’t take too long. You can have as many of the same pokemon as you want!
Girl Power!
Finally! A pokemon game where you can play as a girl! This off course was the cry sent out by girls world-wide when this game was first released. Female main characters are standard now, but this was the game that poineered that. Highly recommended!
Awesomest. Pokemon. Game. Ever.
I loved the Gold and silver games, and when this came out, I was all over it. This is easily the best pokemon game ever, with 16 gym leaders and 2 different regions and only 250 or so pokemon (so it’s easier to catch ‘em all, but not too hard), this game has more content than any pokemon game before or after it. Amazing. One of these days I’ll have to get mine out again.

Pokemon Gold
Featuring a new adventure thats filled with numerous enhancements and innovations, this long-awaited sequel to Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow greatly improves upon the series winning formula, and makes for an even more insanely addictive and wholly absorbing gaming experience.
Like Pokémon Silver–which essentially is the same story, with minor gameplay variations–Pokémon Gold casts players in the familiar role of a young Pokémon Trainer whos out to collect as many different kinds of Pokémon as possible. As in previous games, gameplay consists mostly of exploration (completing various quests in the process) and Pokémon battles, which employ a unique battle system thats like a complex twist on rock-paper-scissors.
But, despite the similarities, its quite apparent that Pokémon Gold is a whole new ball game from the start. The game is played out in real time, with the current time and day of the week (recorded by an internal clock) having a direct impact on gameplay elements, such as what Pokémon youll find in the wild, and when certain events occur and characters appear.
While there are too many new and improved features in Pokémon Gold to list here, among the highlights are 100 new Pokémon (including two new types), new evolution processes (including breeding), and a more streamlined game interface that has better-organized menus and button shortcuts.
Although its easier to progress in Pokémon Gold than in the previous games, the sheer amount of fun and game time thats involved is daunting. Youd be hard-pressed to find a better value than this one. –Joe Hon
Pros:
- Insanely addictive and wholly absorbing gaming experience
- Time and day of week impact gameplay directly
- Bevy of new features and hidden secrets
- Improved graphics and more streamlined game interface
Cons:
- Minor compatibility issues when using Game Link with previous versions
Features
- collect 250 Pokemon
- collect badges to enter the Pokemon League
- each Pokemon has unique skills
- trade Pokemon via link cable

good as gold!
pokemon gold is a great game, and according to the pokemon company it and silver are the third best game made by them! this is one of the only games that allows johto region pokemon and lets you get ho-oh, lugia, and celebi without an action replay or game shark. you cal also catch all three legendary dogs (Raikou, suicune, and entei) in the game. it is challenging but not impossible, and you are allowed to have a pokegear. it is like a pokenav off of emerald but better because it has music and other cool stuff on it.
the actual gameplay is not boring unlike some of the next generation games like diamond and pearl. you travel across johto and beat team rocket and gather 8 gym badges, then you can go to kanto and get 8 gym badges. then you challenge the pokemon leauge and this time you dont face gary, lance is the champ. the starters are rare aand powerful, totodile, chikorita, and cynaquil. the rival character is a theif who stole from professor elm (the pokemon that is better than yours ).
the graphics are ok for a gameboy color, and the pokemon are cool. the color isnt top of the line but it is still decent and dont let that fact stray you from purchasing this item. the music is cool to me, and you have a radio to play awesome tunes. so all in all this game is literally “Good as Gold”.
My son LOVES it!!
Great game!! My son plays it all the time, thank god it saves so he can turn it off at night. He had one prior to this one and it stoped saving the game. He spent his allowance on one from Recycled Games and this one saves everytime. It’s hard to find them in great shape with the ’save game’ still working since it’s not made new anymore. Best money he ever spent, so far anyway… he’s only 7.
