Crystal Version is really cool. I recomend to all poke fans this is a must have. In crystal Version you can get Crystal Onix nick named Crytalix. It is one of the best pokemon in the game besides the legendary dogs. This game has a cupple more pokemon adding to the know stated 251 pokemon possible. This is a pokemon trainers dream come true this is an awsome Game it is so tight!!!!!!!!!!

I like this game very much, if you set aside the fact that it is practically the same as gold and silver. The upside is that Celebi can be caught with the GS-Ball. Celebi is not available in g/s without the gameshark. The downside is that the american version does not have the capability to hook up to your cell phone, as the japanese version does. So if you don't mind going through the world of g/s again, then this game will be a good thing to get.

This Game is the Best!!!!

Like I said, this is just like a special version of gold and silver. It has the option of choosing a girl character, a pop up sign that tells you when you enter a new area, new and better battle animation, and a new pokedex. If you liked yellow, you'll like this. Some say there may be new moves, but they couldn't have new moves and have it still be compatible with pokemon stadium 2 as it is.

Good fun, no new pokemon

Whatever that guy before me said about Crystalix, it's not true. No new Pokemon have been added to Pokemon Crystal, but I do believe there's a way to obtain Celebi in the game. I've seen screen shots of the japanese version, but don't quote me on this I'm not too sure. Moving on -- you can choose to start as a male or female character, and your pack's desing will change depending on your gender. Also, there's a new rival out there who's obsessed with catching Suicune, and supposedly you have to stop him or something. This game is very centered around Suicune, as you can see on the box design, and a feature in the game that I like is that the legendary dogs are actual sprites in the game now, and when you see them, you click on them and fight them, so it'll be easier to find and catch them. Three new TM's will be added -- Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Ice Beam -- but you can only teach them to your Pokemon at the Game Corner for a whole crapload of coins. New moves can be bred or learned by Pokemon now -- like Eevee learning Baton Pass and Cloyster learning Spikes.

Crystal: It Could Be Better

For somebody who enjoyed Y, I found this game pretty dull. Being male, the new female character didn't affect me at all, so that addition.... The slight animation wasn't that amazing, but a nice little extra. Y was considerably better since it was more different from R and B than Crystal is from G and S. At least in Y the Gym Leaders were different. Being a major Pokefan I must give this game some credit. If you really, really love Pokemon you'll probably be pleased with the little add-ons. Happy Gaming!

Crystal Overview: One Of The Best Games EVER!!!!!

ok listen up!!! i am a vetran of the pokemon gaming phenomena, an for all you die-hard pokemon fans out there or just the people who have heard of pokemon and think too much about it, you should try pokemon crystal. buy it, rent it, borrow it from that kid down the street who you talk to during lunch in school, i don't care!!! find a way to try it out to it's full pleasurable experiance, but in the mean time, i'll uncover some of the new concepts that rises along with crystal.

first off it branches off the storyline presented in earlier games, namley gold and silver (g/s) versions and extently off red, blue and yellow (r/b/y), with the quest to become pokemon master by catching all different types of pokemon, which totals to 251 "pocket monsters", while traveling the maps and battling trainers (people who raise pokemon).

in addition there are 2 new types thrown into the mix, dark and steel. along with all the pokemon updates comes new ways to get pokemon, like breeding. some pokemon, if not most, learn different moves they didn't learn in g/s or r/b/y. along with g/s, in crystal there are new moves (differing from r/b/y), tm's and hm's, which contributes to changing pokemon veterans battle strategy quite a bit.

there are some subquests within the gameplay. one of the main subquests is the legendary dog, suicune, is shown on the map and you are challanged to catch it first, as a new trainer, minaki, wants only to train and raise suicune. also, your are able to catch the 251st pokemon, celebi. you can't catch it in g/s, which allows for it's official nintendo and gameboy appearance with exception to using gameshark codes on g/s and it's appearance in pokemon stadium.

along with those changes, there is a choice of being a male or female character at the start. this changes the gameplay little, but it pleases some of the females who are tired of the hero always being a boy. there is also an internal clock showing day and night, time and even the day of the week it is. another addition i would like to cover would be when you enter a new area a sign pops up at the bottom telling you where you are.

i haven't covered it all, as i let others inform you about the stuff in the cracks i neglected to get to now, but this alone is enough of a tantalizing offer from which you can get from pokemon crystal. if you want more info, there are hundreds upon thousands of sites dedicated to pokemon games, cards, and television on the net, just waiting to be used as a research tool for hopeful and dedicated fans, giving as much as walkthroughs through the game, but i don't exactly reccomend it unless you are COMPLETELY locked in one part of the game, as the fun is in the unexpected and inevitable surprise. with all these new changes from older versions, it makes for much excitement, hours of fun and challanges, and an addictive storyline for gamers. a must have, as i said earlier, for all die-hard pokemon fans. and as for those who are a bit skeptical about it, give it a try pokemon isn't as horrible as some people say. don't let the fact that it isn't one of those blood and guts killing games spoil the fun. (i have yet to see a pokemon come out of my game and go on a killing spree, shooting up the town with the machine gun he has in one hand, stabbing the governor with the knife he has in the other, in a crazed mission to take over the world.) it is a great game, and a shouldn't be judged by some [person] with internet access and no life but to mock games that don't have outstanding 3D graphics or have a storyline that "they just don't get", or even can't understand the fact that it is a game, that's all it is and all it will be, and isn't built off someones real life experiences. you should decide for yourself, end of discussion. give this game a look, if not even a glance, then choose. but all in all, a great game, and i personally give it a 10/10, and as i wait for the future of pokemon and gaming as a whole with the rest of the known world looking at the virtual horizon, i'll see you all later.

Buy It u dork!!!
