Pokémon Crystal Version (ポケットモンスター クリスタルバージョン, Poketto Monsutā Kurisutaru Bājon, "Pocket Monsters: Crystal Version"), for the Game Boy Color, is the seventh game in the Pokémon video game series in Japan, and the sixth in North America and Europe. The game is an enhanced version of the previous two versions, Pokémon Gold and Silver, and was released in Japan on December 14, 2000. It was released in North America on July 29, 2001 and in Europe on November 2, 2001.[1] Unlike its predecessors, it was developed specifically for the Game Boy Color, and is thus not compatible with the original Game Boy, its variants, and the Super Game Boy.
On January 26, 2018, Pokémon Crystal was released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.[2]
Gameplay
The gameplay of Pokémon Crystal is largely the same as in Gold and Silver, although it holds new features. Along with Gold and Silver, it is one of the first Pokémon games to allow players to choose the sex of their character, while previously the character was always male. Pokémon have animated sprites; for example, when a Cyndaquil enters battle, the flames on its back flicker. This feature was absent in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, but has appeared in all subsequent games starting with Pokémon Emerald. In addition, a couple of subplots were added, one involving the legendary Pokémon Suicune, featured on the front cover of the game,[3] and the other involving the Unown. The game's biggest addition was the Battle Tower, a new building which allows players to participate in Pokémon Stadium-like fights.[1] The Japanese edition of the game was exclusively bundled with the Mobile Adapter GB (モバイルアダプタGB, Mobairu Adaputa Jī Bī), a device that allowed for connecting with other players via mobile phone.[4]
Setting and plot
The setting and plot remains largely the same as Pokémon Gold and Silver.
Reception
Pokémon Crystal was received well by critics, although many commented that there were just not enough new additions and features to significantly set it apart from Pokémon Gold and Silver. Craig Harris of IGN gave the game an "outstanding" 9 out of 10 stating, "The final (hopefully) Game Boy Color edition is definitely the version to get if you aren't already one of the upteenth [sic] billion owners of the previous games, with Crystal's slight updates to the design and graphics. But there's not much in this edition that makes it a "must buy" for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions".[1] In Japan, Famitsu magazine scored the game a 34 out of 40.[5]
