About Pokémon Crystal Version

The last of the Game Boy Color Pokémon games, Pokémon Crystal Version sent the classic system off in style.

On the surface, Pokémon Crystal Version is a lot like Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version, in that the story takes place in Johto and the adventure takes you down a familiar path. But, digging deeper, you'll see that Pokémon Crystal has plenty of aspects that have revolutionized Pokémon games. Pokémon Crystal is the first Pokémon game where you can choose to play either as a boy or girl, and it's also the first Pokémon game to feature a Battle Tower, a central location for hordes of the toughest Trainers in the land!

Pokémon Crystal features animated introductions for each Pokémon when they are brought to the heat of battle, as well as other graphic improvements you'll notice as you roam the Johto region. While doing so, keep an eye out for Pokémon in different locations and Legendary Pokémon that can be caught only by the most talented Trainers!
