Binding: Game Cartridge Brand: Nintendo EAN: 0045496731472 ESRB Age Rating: Everyone Label: SPIG Manufacturer: SPIG Platform: Game Boy Color Publisher: SPIG Studio: SPIG Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: 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 it's 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. 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--you'll no longer have to navigate menus to use these moves. Lastly, seeing a Pokémon's new animation makes encountering new creatures more fun than before. If you haven't played Gold or Silver yet, Crystal is definitely the way to go. If you've 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. It's 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:

 Rating:  - 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! Rating: - 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. Rating:  - Pokemon CrystalIt's a fun game to own and play just like Pokemon Yellow,its counterpart from the previous series of three pokemon games. Only certain aspects of game play are negatives such as the time aspect and daily events as well as having to chase the legendary pokemon unlike in Pokemon Yellow. Missing certain events and having to wait literally a week sometimes to return to them is slightly annoying as is having to capture certain pokemon during specific times of day as they are in some cases specifically ...

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. Read More Rating: - A fun game, but a small warning.Pokemon Crystal was part of the second generation (Gold/Silver/Crystal) pokemon GBC games. Personally, I'm not a huge Pokemon fan, but this generation of Pokemon games was really unique. The Crystal version was the first installment that actually allowed players to choose whether they wanted to play as a male or female character. It pretty much followed the same story line as Gold and Silver, but had a few differences, such as some extra secret rooms hidden in the Ruins of Alph, and the fact that Suicune ... Read More |
