One addition, introduced in {{game|Emerald}}, that the Battle Tower in Crystal lacks is a {{tc|Tower Tycoon}} who is in charge of the Battle Tower. Another difference with later Battle Towers is that the Battle Tower in Pokémon Crystal is built on the same landmass as the rest of the [[region]] and may be challenged before the {{player}} has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. The Battle Tower in Crystal also allows any [[legendary Pokémon]] to participate, though later [[generation]]s would ban many of them. | ||

In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the Battle Tower is directly associated with the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Further multiplayer features are available, including mobile {{pkmn|battle}}s, for which a small price is charged on the {{player}}s' {{wp|mobile phone}}s. If the player battled well enough, they could become a '''Room Leader''' (Japanese: '''ルームリーダー''' ''Room Leader''). All Room Leaders would be registered in the Honor Roll of the Mobile Center for posterity. | In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the Battle Tower is directly associated with the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]].
