Product Description:
In case you've been hiding under a rock and you've missed the commotion up to this point: The word "Pokémon" refers to a series of 150 different "pocket monsters" that you are challenged to collect, trade, and nurture in hopes of becoming the greatest Pokémon trainer in the world. You use your monsters to help in battle against other trainers. Kids love collecting these pocket monsters, and they'll love it even more when they get a load of POKÉMON: Crystal Version. A follow-up to the Gold and Silver editions of the handheld POKÉMON saga, the Crystal Version offers enhancements and updates that will keep little trainers going for hours on end. Play as a male or female trainer, collecting, and schooling growing monsters for tournament-style combat. You'll be aided by an unusual Suicune creature, which serves as the next generation of Pikachu. Play alone or take on a friend in this addicting masterpiece

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

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The best version for the second generation of Pokemon game
Pokemon Crystal version is very fun.
You have more secret to discover.
If the Pokemon Fan want to play a game from the second generation ?
I say «Play Pokemon Crystal, this is the best of all».


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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: 5 out of 5 stars - 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: 4 out of 5 stars - Pokemon Crystal
It'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 nocturnal or their percent in a given area is extremely low. Other than these things the game plays very well and the improvement that you can select to be a male or female trainer unlike Pokemon Yellow is great. Seeing each pokemon in their given coloration is really nice just like it was in Pokemon Yellow too. The added new types and moves are also a plus. Overall a well worth buy for a Pokemon fan.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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!
