Pokémon Crystal is a sister game to Pokémon Gold and Silver. It contained the same basic game, but with some changes:
Changes from Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver
- This is the first game where you have the option to play a girl character, Kris. This tradition has been carried on throughout all Pokémon RPGs except Pokémon Colosseum.
- Pokémon's battle sprites move in a short animation upon being released from their Poké Ball.
- Suicune, instead of being a side Legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. Your character will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a Clear Bell (the Crystal equivalent of the Silver or Rainbow Wing), you will have a chance to battle and capture it in the Tin Tower, and it will not run away.
- Another character, Eusine, is added to the game. He is searching for Suicune as well, and will battle you to earn its respect.
- Both Lugia and Ho-oh can be found in this game; Lugia in the Whirl Islands, and Ho-oh at the Tin Tower. They are both Level 60 when they are caught. However, you cannot catch Ho-oh until you catch Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.
- Sneasel appears in the Ice Path, whereas in Gold and Silver it did not appear until reaching Mt. Silver.
- The Move Tutor first appeared in Crystal.
- The Daycare folk would bestow you with a free Egg.
- The Battle Tower was added.
Japanese Version Differences
In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal, you could link up with other players through the use of a mobile phone adapter.
The Pokémon Center in Goldenrod City was replaced by a much larger building.
When you used the Mobile Phone link-up, you were given a GS Ball, after taking this to Kurt in Azalea Town, you could place the GS Ball inside the Ilex Forest shrine.
This would cause a level 30 Celebi to float down and attack your player. Whereby you would be able to catch the Pokémon.
Unobtainable Pokémon
The following Pokémon cannot be found in Crystal, and must be traded from Pokémon Gold and Silver.
In addition to these there are some Pokémon that cannot be found in Gold, Silver or Crystal. They must be traded from Red, Blue or Yellow.
