I have(and always will) consider Pokémon crystal the best Pokémon game ever. It took the power of the gameboy color and used it to its max. That and the fact that suicune is my favorite Pokémon, so that helps. Pokémon crystal is the special edition version of Gold and Silver, it placed Suicune as your main legendary and added some other features. Also I should say the I that will be referencing Gold and Silver throughout this review, since these games are so similar. Time for a review.
Differences from the first G/S: It wouldn't be a separate game without some differences would it? As said before Pokémon crystal uses Suicune as its main legendary, instead of either Hoh-oh or Lugia. This also made it so that I didn't waste hours of my childhood tracking Suicune all around Johto. This game also introduced the ability to play as a boy or a girl. There are also a few minor differences between the two games, such as the egg you get from the daycare man that will evolve into one of the baby Pokémon. And the introduction of a new character, who has been chasing after Suicune for 10 years, and you will battle him on a few occasions. This game also has a move tutor located in blackthorn city.Also,Vulpix, ninetails, mankey, primeape, all three mareep evolutions, girafarig, remoraid, and octillery are not found in this game. And the quest to obtain the rising badge was altered slightly.
Graphics: This game borrows heavily from the graphics of Gold and Silver, and when I say it borrows heavily, I mean it has the graphics of gold and silver. Little to nothing differs from the first two games graphic wise, although the game developers re-designed ice cavern. As for the rest of it, the game looks like your standard GBC game, although I can say it look significantly better than some of the other GBC games. The forest and caves stand out and look fantastic.
Sound: Well, it was a GBC game. I am not crazy about the sound. Sure, the music gets you through the game well enough, but its not something you wont get bored with. To be honest, I think the music gets pretty bland after a while.
Addictiveness: I have beaten this game over ten times. It is incredibly tough to get tired of this game, and I cant say that about most Pokémon games. This game will have you hooked.
Story: I am glad I am not reviewing gold and silver right now, as I wouldn't have much to say. Gold and silver have you as a ten year old kid, he becomes a Pokémon master, he encounters a legendary, beats the elite four, and then goes to kanto to do it all over again. Pokémon crystal, while retaining this formula shakes up the story a bit more. This game has you in a competition with the aforementioned trainer who is after suicune. It also has a few more quests involved that develop your character a bit more.
depth: There are over 200 Pokémon to catch. Although, you can catch a low level and evolve it, which takes up more time, giving you more to do. There are also tons of trainers to fight, each with a different difficulty level. There are 16 badges to collect, in Kanto and Johto. There is also a mystery trainer at the end of the game who you will have to fight.
Difficulty: I have to say, nearly every Pokémon game is easy. They don't present any huge challenge, although you may have to do some grinding.
Thanks for reading you guys. That concludes this review, I hope you play this game, and just below that, I hope you read more of my reviews.
