{{game|Crystal}} introduced many features that have since become staples of the [[core series]] games, such as the option to pick a female {{player|player character}}, animated {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} sprites and {{pkmn|battle}} facilities with special rules. Likewise, some aspects of the game's initial design did not make it to the final release.

An unused song is present in the game's code. However, the circumstances it would have been used for are unknown. Interestingly, the same song exists within {{g|Stadium 2}} and was actually used in the Japanese version.
