help Pokémon Crystal FAQ
What did Pokemon Crystal add to Gold and Silver?
Pokemon Crystal added animated battle sprites, a larger Suicune storyline, the Battle Tower, and the option to play as Kris, a female protagonist. It was the enhanced Game Boy Color version of Pokemon Gold and Silver.
Can Pokemon Crystal run on the original gray Game Boy?
No. Crystal was made for Game Boy Color and is not compatible with the original monochrome Game Boy. Gold and Silver could run on older hardware, which makes Crystal different within Generation II.
Why is Suicune on the Pokemon Crystal box?
Crystal shifts more story attention to Suicune and the legendary beast plot. Eusine, a character obsessed with Suicune, also becomes more prominent than in Gold and Silver.
Does the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console version include Celebi?
Yes, the 3DS Virtual Console release made the Celebi event accessible without the old Japanese Mobile Adapter GB setup. That was a major reason collectors and longtime fans revisited Crystal on 3DS.
