1.The Best thing about this game is the new battle tower in olivine city You can go in pick the other trainers levels of Pokemon and battle them (This is helpful for raising pkmn) if you win you can get rewards like carobs and protein :) 2. in the runes of Alph you have to read the massages on the wall like a book to figure out puzzles. this makes this side quest harder. 3. You will have an easer time catching one of the hardest to find Pokemon Suicune after you battle the wise trio. in tin tower 4. in gold and silver the dragons den is just a hiding place for the dragons fang in crystal you have to pass many quizzes to get the last badge in johto 5. Buena a radio DJ in the radio tower of johto gives out a password every day and you go to her tell the password to her and she gives you points that you can redeem for prizes like nuggets and iron and other great things here is a full list ultra ball is 2 points full restor is 2 points nugget and rare candy are 3 points protein, iron carbos calucim and hp up are a whopping 5 points each. 6 in the day care center next to goldenrod city a man will give you an egg but IT IS NOT TOGEPI it could be Pichu or maybe igglybuff it is a mystery?????? 7. the images in crystal have been enhanced like the ice path to blackthorn city it looks like it is pure ice the ground is covered in snow and the "rocks" the things that block the sides of the path look like ice crystals it makes you feel cold while going through it. and a new thing in battle and in the pokedex the Pokemon move around i call this Pokemation for example Sentret waves its arms and bounces and Pikachu waves winks and raises one foot before battle. 8 in gold and silver the cell phone is just for rematches but in crystal you can get real good info and things like evolution stones potions and other great stuff 9 some Pokemon learn new attacks like Yanma it learns wing attack and Snesel learns metal claw and dug trio learns Tri attack 10. and the newest and the best thing for pokegirls every where you can chose to be a boy or girl. 11. there is a guy that will teach one of your pokemon ice beam thunderbolt or flamethrower to your pokemon for a price of 4000 coins whitch is not bad if you have pokemon stadiunm 2 and a transfer pack. 12. one bad thing is to catch hoho you have to catch all the ledgendary dogs and defeat the eliet four talk about demanding. one more thing YOU CAN'T CATCH THE TIME TRAVILING POKEMON CELEBI this fact is proven by nintendo and nintendo power magazine it is just another roumor like the mew code in red blue and yellow it is not real I'm real sorry i had to spill the beans on the sad truth.

I have just recently reserved one for myself. I saw screen shots opf the Japanese version, and it is better than Gold/Silver. For one, when you enter a new route or city, a little box will appear at the bottom of the screen to let you know what city/route you have entered. Also, the legendary dogs/cats, whatever they are, are now seen in the wild. Suicune is the main Pokemon in this game. What I mean by that is, you will see what he lopoks like and Entei and Raikou will appear as they do in G/S. Also, you finally get the G/S Ball. If you take it to Kurt, he'll take it for a day, give it back to you when you go back. When you get it back, you can take it into the Ilex Forest, put it in the Shrine you past by, and have a chance of carching Celebii. There are also a few new items, but, I don't know what they're are called. It also has updated information on the Unown. Also, there are new puzzles you have to figure out in order to catch the 26 Unown. This game is going to be of of the best sequels to any Pokemon game. This is a must-have for any die-hard Pokemon fan.

I've heard alot of things about crystal and this is what i have 2 say. You can play as girl or boy. You can catch Celebi. You get a G.S. ball. The Goldenrod Pkmn Center has turned into a Pkmn Communication Center. There is a Battle Tower in Ecruteak. New challenging Unknown puzzles. Better graphics with moving Pkmn. New rival who is obsessed with catching Suicune(blue dog on the box). You are there when Prof Elm recieves the message from Mr. Pkmn. Your mom has a guest at the table when you come down from your room. You see Suicune in the wild. New people. The Ice Path looks alot better(more icy). Might be new places. Pkmn in different locations. When you first visit the day care man you recieve an Odd Egg. Odd Egg hatches into a Mystery Pkmn. Shiny pkmn and Pokerus aren't as rare as before. I've seen alot of screen shots and liked all of them. The screen shot of the Battle Tower inparticular was pretty spectacular. this is a totally aewsome game. It's very original. if this isn't different from gold and silver enough you must be very spoiled rotten, picky kids.

The new crystal version is to gold and silver as yellow is to red and blue, it's a lot better. In this game you can chose to be a boy or girl, and unlike red, blue, yellow, gold, and silver your pokemon can learn unlimted moves. Also in this game you can catch the new 251 bug/phycic pokemon celibi. All you need to do is get a G/S ball, take it kurt for a day then take it to the shrine in Ilex Forest. This game has more Items, Balls(G/S ball of course)and pokemon. I think everyone who plays it will enjoy it!

Crystal is the MUST-HAVE game of the entire year for ANY great Pokemon Trainer. If you are a girl Poke' fan, good news--you can be a girl in this game. I know some people say that you can get Crystalix(Crystal Onyx), but you can't. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM!!!!! THEY ARE TRYING TO CONFUSE YOU!!!!!!!!! Anyway, this game is very much centered around Suicune--even the box has Suicune on it! Your rival REALLY wants to get Suicune, but you need to try and get it first. Just like what Ho-Oh and Lugia were like on the G/S games, Suicune is going to be like that--just standing there--but he WILL move around the world. Also in Crystal, when you are battling, your Pokemon and the enemy Pokemon will be animated. Like with Lugia, for example, he will flap his wings, or blink, or shake his head. That kind of stuff. You will also be able to catch Celebi in the wild, but also like the other games, you can only try ONCE. You get the G/S ball from Prof. Oak, give it to Kurt for a day, then when you get it back, place it on the shrine in Ilex Forest. I would suggest theat you save before you place, because if you miss catching Celebi, you won't have another chance. Another great thing about this is that in Ecruteak City, there will be a tower where you can set the levels of the Pokemon inside of it--anywhere from 1-100. This will be the best place to train your Pokemon in the whole game! Also, Pokemon will learn new moves that they couldn't in G/S. There will be new TMs, HMs, and items. Crystal is definitely the best game of the year, of the century, and of the millenium so far! If you are a serious Pokemon fan, this game is for you!

The newest pokemon game around ! It's pokemon crystal! It is supose to have new worlds, new pokemon, and new places. If you are playing gold and silver versions, there is a great challenge you will have to face: capturing the three legendary dog pokemon, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. It's not like red, yellow, and blue versions when you are capturing the 3 legendary bird pokemon. When you see one of these pokemon, they flee away from you. The good news about this is that when you see one of these pokemon, it is added to your pokedex. Look for the pokemon in your pokedex. Then press A when your curser is on the pokemon's name. Then go to area and press A. Then use your pokegear to find where is has marked. Then stock for a few days on max repel. Then start running back and forth through the grass. When you and the legendary pokemon have ended up in the same place, use max repel to repel weak pokemon. This way if you do get a battle, it will only be a legendary pokemon. When you run in to the legendary pokemon, put it to sleep right away. Then chip it down to a little speck of hp. If it wakes up and runs away, don't fear. Legendary pokemon keep their damage. The best balls to use are ultra balls, great balls, or fast balls.

Pokemon Crystal is the best pokemon game ever so far, so here's the real deal:
1. Pokemon animate now, like Pikachu blinks and waves his arm. 2. There is a Battle Tower now west of Olivine City which has tons of trainers ready to battle you. If you win, you may even get Protein, Carbos, etc. 3. Suicine is a major player in the game. (I think the box says so...) A Suicine fanatic, Eusine, wants to capture it, and you are his rival. 4. You can capture Ho-oh in this game, one one condition: You must beat the elite four and capture all the ledgendary dogs. 5. You can choose to be a girl. If you are, you graphic will look different, and your pokegear looks different too. 6. Trainers give different responses when they call you via cell phone. 7. Unown puzzles in the Ruins of Alph are more interesting. 8. A new radio show, hosted by Buena, gives you a password every night. Tell the password to Buena in the Radio Tower in Goldenrod to redeem points to get free prizes. 9. Pokemon are found in new places and learn new moves. 10. The Ice path looks much cooler that in G/S. The walls look like ice.
But........ YOU CANNOT GET CELEBI and there are no Cell phone capabilities for the US version. (It is only in the Japanese one.)Please keep this message in mind because dumb people love to spread rumors and "catching Celebi in Crystal" is one of them, just a bunch of foey!
But my point is, buy Pokemon Crystal. It rocks and every Pokemaniac should get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

This game will be exactally like gold and silver version ecsept for the fact the you can by male or female in the game. you can try to capture suicune with out it running away. There will be a man out side of the game corner in goldenrod after you bet the elite four and he will teacher one of three moves(thunderbolt,flamethrower,and icebeam) to one of your pokemon for 4000 coins. There will be a chance for you to catch a level 60 Ho-oh and the game tower were you can test your skills. Contrary to popular belife you can not catch celebi in the wild. If you don't believe me buy the game when it comes out your find out for your self.

This game is very cool. There are many new features. 1. The opposing pokemon will move when brought into battle. 2. The mysterious TimeTravel Pokemon, Celebi, can be captured in the Ilex Forest once you have all 16 badges and the GS Ball safe at your side. 3. You will be able to choose between male and female. Many female players will definetly like this new addition. 4.You now have a new rival to face. He vows that he will capture the legendary beasts, Raikou, Entei and Suicune. Suicune is a major player in the game. You will be able to see it while you are walking. 5. New items such as CRYSTAL BELL and GS BALL can be found. 6. Only Lugia will be able to be captured. 7. The Goldenrod City Pokemon Center has turned into a huge Pokemon Communication Center. This is where you will recieve the GS Ball. 8. There is now a new game going on at the radio tower that has something to do with passwords. 9.The Unown Puzzles have changed.In one puzzle you must use an escape rope and then re-enter.In another you must have a Ho-oh in the first slot of your party.These will surely burn fuel on people that try to figure them out. 10. Some pokemon learn attacks they couldn't learn before.Example: Dugtrio can learn Tri- Attack and Eevee Baton Pass. 11. Some pokemon can be found in different areas. 12.Whenever you enter a city or route a sign will appear saying where you are. 13. You can catch new pokemon such as Kakureon, (Chameleon Pokemon)Hoeruko( Whale Pokemon)and Luriri (Aquamouse Pokemon). ...
