Story[edit | edit source]
The story of Pokémon Crystal is mostly identical to Pokémon Gold and Silver, with some changes to put the Legendary Pokémon Suicune at the forefront, including the new character Eusine who shows an interest in it.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Gameplay is identical to Pokémon Gold and Silver, but with differences and additions in content. The visuals are improved across the board, with an updated overworld and new animated sprites for all Pokémon. Some Pokémon can be found in different areas, and some have added moves to learn.
New additions include the option to play as a girl trainer, a Battle Tower to test your skills after becoming Champion, and a few new questlines.
The specific Pokémon available differ slightly from Gold and Silver, requiring trading between the games to "catch 'em all." Transfer to and from Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Yellow is still possible as well.
