"Can't
be compared to any previous games in the Pokémon franchise", this how I
would describe Pokémon Crystal Version in one sentence. Gamefreak Inc.
Really did go above and beyond what was expected of them and managed to improve upon graphics,and features. Some new features introduced in Pokémon Crystal version is the day & night feature, pokegear, the telephone and for you female fans of the Pokémon franchise, for the first time in Pokémon games you can choose your main character to be a girl!

"So how do the graphics in Pokémon Crystal Version compare to graphics seen in earlier Pokémon games, and what has changed?". Well for starters everything is completely descriptive and in full color. Unlike what was seen in previous installments in the Pokémon franchise where the towns and every object in them are all the same color including your character, in Pokémon Crystal every object in town has its own distinctive color and is in clean cut animation. The bodies of water move in a wave like motion as if wind is blowing on the water. They now have two types of tree's in Pokémon Crystal and you can clearly tell the difference in the two types because of there easily distinctive in their texture and the proportion in there size. The buildings, and scenery are breath taking in realistic looking in design and colorization, I felt as though I could walk right into the towns and felt closer to the Pokémon and the Pokémon battle scenes. The Pokémon sprites have gotten a well needed update and can be easily made out and is in near perfect design color wise and form wise and can be seen in above average detail from every angle.

"What's the sound like in Pokémon Crystal?". The soundtrack alternates from town to town, route to route and can be heard rather well, each town has its own music/song or tone to it which really helps shape the mood. Even during a Pokémon battle, the fast pace music has the gamer feeling on edge wondering if they will win or lose. Pokémon battle cries are still unique and distinctive and each Pokémon has there own distinct sound and there's not one Pokémon with the same similar cry. When out on water a certain breezy claim music plays which makes the gamer feel like they are actually in the water.

"How addicted to Pokémon Crystal were you?, Is it something you would play again?". I for one was highly addicted to Pokémon Crystal Version because it was a whole new region(Johto) and not to mention but you could go back to the Kanto region and beat some of its gyms.So with a total of 10 or 12 gyms and both new and old legendary Pokémon, Pokémon Crystal Version had me amused for hours upon end craving more. Furthermore I would diffidently play this game again any day simply because it offered a new story with old returning foes and a whole new challenge.

"So with out reveling to much what is the story like in Pokémon Crystal Version?". The story is simply phenomenal , complete edge of your seat excitement and fun so enjoy. The story takes place years after what happened in Kanto, your a raising young man or lady and you have just turned 12 today so it's time to set off on your grand adventure/ journey. The Pokémon Professor Elm has asked you to come down to his lab so you can do a small favor to him and upon doing that he gives you your first Pokemon.So your off and set on your grand new adventure in the Johto region where many new and tough challenges await you and your Pokémon, a(n) all new elite four challenge, if you think is going to be another cake walk like what was seen in the Kanto region you are sadly mistaken. In addition you think you have gotten rid off and disbanded the evil origination know only as team rocket by simply defeating there boss once back all those years ago back in Kanto well they are back and better than ever with all new seemingly invincible Pokémon and are rage bent on capturing and enslaving all Pokémon and people in the Johto region.

"So know that we know the story how about the depth how big is Pokémon Crystal?". Well Pokémon Crystal is a relatively big game, it has over 10 gyms both from the new region of Johto and the old region of Kanto. Pokémon Crystal has a decent amount of legendary Pokémon to hunt down and capture, all three legendary dogs(Entie, Suicone, and Riaku), and the game also gives you the choice to catch either Ho-Oh, or Lugia(they can be found in their respected locations that they were found in Pokémon Versions Gold & Silver). The game takes a considerable amount of time to beat with all the little side actions you have the option of doing, you'll be occupied fishing here and there, catching Pokémon in tournaments, or doing so gambling winning coins in the game corner to buy exclusive items, and Pokémon and not to mention batting over 10 gyms and taking on the elite four.

"How's the difficulty on Pokémon Crystal Version is it hard or moderately easy?" Well Pokémon Crystal Version starts out easy but the difficulty gradually increases over time and before you know it you could find you self out classed and out leveled, so train often.The gyms start to get really tough if you don't have the type advantage and don't be fooled, gym leaders will throw out Pokémon really under leveled and then when they get to their last one it will be high leveled then most of the ones you beat combined.The elite four has really stepped up their game this time around, and the new champion uses a certain type that most trainers might not be so familiar with so train hard and create a well balanced team!In addiction the games A.I doesn't make as many clueless mistakes and will not make it easy on you to over come its own skill.

"Overall how do you feel about Pokémon Crystal?"Overall I think Pokémon Crystal really improved upon and quite frankly set the standards for Pokémon games to come and goes above and beyond with its features, animations and storyline/plot.Furthermore I would recommend Pokémon Crystal to any fan of the Pokémon franchise both of the older and newer generation.

Another great review.
I must say, I appreciate you having your own style (I assume, since I've never seen anyone here write quiet like that), and making it work well. I originally was a bit unsure about the question at the beginning of each category breakdown, but I see that it's an explanation of what exactly that particular category is addressing, and it's done in an interesting way.

So, A for originality (which is very refreshing), and for writing a very detailed and good review.

This is really good, you said a lot about the graphics and every other category. I couldn't agree more! You are getting really good with making pokemon reviews, keep it up and they will soon be featured with all of the detail and effort you put in. I agree with your scoring for all areas of the game, it is a big improvement mostly in graphics because it has color, the older pokemon games were fuzzy, the cries of pokemon were distorted, everyone looked the same and it was colorless. But this is indeed a big improvement to previous pokemon games and I think you did a great job of breaking that down and saying it. You have excellent grammar, punctuation and word choice. Keep it up and keep making more reviews!

Eirinn : Thank you  for reading and commenting, and I was hoping I wasn't going to off course with the questions as a(n) opener for the categories and I'm glad you caught on fast to what I was getting at with that way of breaking down the categories.

Razor:

Good review! It was nice and long and had great detail. The style you write in sure is different but I like it! It makes your work original. 

This is a really Solid Review, Keep up the good work and you might land yourself site staff for these, Good luck man, And never get sloppy, Trust me... I only got one review out and it was really really bad, It's just not what I'm cut out for.

wow! This is a wonderful review and you just keep give us surprises here this my friend is a good talent you have here!

Great Review man, and I like how you went into detail, and depth with this review. I actually enjoyed playing, and beating Pokémon crystal. It was a nice pretty long, and energetic, game if you ask me. I remember my first time playing it. I had it on Game Boy Color, and whenever I shut it off it deleted . Still though it was fun, and I got a Game Boy Advance Sp for that reason. I played it until I beat it without having to turn it off. I had tons of fun, and it was sort a sad to say good bye to the Pokémon I raised. Anyways nice job, great long, and with length, and it was very nicely detailed. I like it .

This is one review worth reading , I like it !

wow that was long and detailed. Great job! 

I just want to say that your review is...uhhhh...great. From the start you been making impressive reviews that everypony likes and mosty enjoys reading. Keep up the great work. Have a nice day.

Pokemon Crystal is a neat game for the Gameboy Color. It brings the next generation off the 1st generation, and to me, it wasn't quite to the point in the series, stale. It was still fresh, and debuted shinies. Making the journey cooler.

I agree this is a good game.graphics are crapy. But good for its time. powerful lengendares. don't get why theres a charizard in the pic.

Divine Aurora : Seems like a legit review. It's organized, and well worded. I give you my gratitude. I like reading long pages, because reading aids education! Anyways, spot on with the review.

Local Mods : Thread bump,my review was bumped and could you close it?
