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
Pros: - New female trainer
- Prebattle animations are cute
- Lots of subtle improvements
Cons: - Too similar to Gold and Silver
- Mobile phone features not in the U.S. version

It's a sister game,and enhanced version of Gold/Crystal. If you own Gold,or Crystal,you probably won't want to buy this.
Even though I believe Platinum is the best to date,most people believe Crystal to be the best. I would say,wait a bit for Heartgold and Soulsilver,the DS remakes,to come out,but buy these if you want.

Pokemon Crystal is by far the best pokemon game ever made. I am a subscriber to the pokemon becket magazine, and believe it or not, the pokemon company admits that they think this was their best one. Remakes of gold and silver are being made, the japanese release date is september 12. The american release date is so far assumed to be sometime in 2010.
Now for the time this game was released this had great graphics, and added a major change: the first game you could play as a girl. Because of this more girls played the game making pokemon more popular. More major changes are the ones that include the fact that there are ho oh and lugia and a manadatory legendary event. This started the wake up the legends and catch them series that has gone on for a long time, which started with that guy on the front of the box, a suicune. I know a guy who soft resetted to get a shiny suicune. The starters are all new and hard to get unless you hack emerald or trade repeatedly, with chikorita, the grass type, cyndaquil, the fire type, and totodile, the water type.
Another great feature was you could go back to kanto and fight the gym leaders, with a new one and a shocking final battle. The gym leader was blue, and i will leave the final battle on top of mt silver open for interpretation. Raikou, Entei, Lugia, And Ho-oH were other legendaries avaible legitly in the game, the kanto legends are gone. There is one more final pokemon to hack for, celebi. And dont forget all the new pokemon, baby pokemon like pichu, and even the lovable pokegear!
So as i close this review, just remember that this game was, and is the best pokemon game out their.
