? ? ? ? ?For those who don't know, mostly all Pok?mon games are released ?in three's and are part of the same region in each game,(a modern or recent example of this would be the Sinnoh region, Pok?mon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum ), Why am I telling you this well because like the example I just provided Pok?mon Crystal was released as the third game for the Johto region and contains Pok?mon from the two Johto regions titles released before it , Pok?mon Silver and Pok?mon Gold. Pok?mon Crystals game designers(GameFreak ?Inc.) did a marvelous job on ?improving ?the ?graphics,and features seen in the game. Some of the new features introduced in Pok?mon Crystal ?is the day & night feature, pokegear, the telephone and the option of choosing a gender (either Male or Female).
? ? ? ? The graphics in Pok?mon Crystal are ?descriptive and fully animated. Unlike what was seen in previous Pok?mon games in the Pok?mon franchise where the towns and every object in them are all the same color including your character, in Pok?mon Crystal every object in town has its own distinctive color and is in clean cut animation. Some of the noticeable graphic changes are the bodies of water move in a wave like motion, in addition to that, there are now have two types of tree's in Pok?mon 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 ?realistic looking in design and colorization, I felt as though I could walk right into the towns and felt closer to the Pok?mon and the Pok?mon battle scenes. The Pok?mon sprites have been full animated and in color and unlike what was seen in the first generation Pok?mon games there isn't a thick black outline of/ around the Pok?mon.
? ? ? ?Since Pok?mon crystal takes place in a new region creators came up with a(n) all new soundtrack. The soundtrack alternates from town to town, route to route and can be heard clearly, each town has its own music/song ?which ?shapes the mood(especially during battles. During a Pok?mon battle, the fast pace music has the gamer feeling on edge wondering if they will win or lose. Pok?mon battle cries are still unique and distinctive and each Pok?mon has there own distinct sound and there's not one Pok?mon 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 addictive you will be to Pok?mon Crystal depends on what your looking to get out of a Pok?mon game.If you looking for a Pok?mon game that offers a decent long story with dialog and constantly getting harder challenges than this is the Pok?mon game for you. Besides the fact that you have the new 8 Johto gyms to beat, you also can go back to Kanto and challenge it's 8 gyms and not to mention the notorious Pok?mon trainer Red himself. Naturally to complete all the game play in the game you would have to put in a couple of hours a day, so this game would occupy your time for a while.
? ? ? In Pok?mon Crystal the story takes place two years after the events in Kanto, your a twelve year old girl or boy, and you have just turned ?set off on your grand journey to fill up your Pokedex. The Pok?mon 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 Pok?mon, a(n) all new elite four challenge.In Pok?mon Crystal, it's been years since anyone has seen or heard from Team Rocket, the people ?think you have gotten rid off and disbanded the evil origination because in the last installment in the franchise you ?defeated Team Rockets boss, well they are back and recently have formed a newer gang in the thriving Johto region.
? ? ? ?Pok?mon Crystal is a huge game considering what you can do in it. Pok?mon Crystal ?has ?16 gyms, 8 of which are from the new region of Johto and the other 8 are from ?old region of Kanto(don't take the 8 Kanto gyms lightly the Gym leaders have new Pok?mon teams and higher leveled Pok?mon). Pok?mon Crystal has large amount of legendary Pok?mon to track down and obtain, 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 Pok?mon Versions Gold & Silver). In the Kanto region part of the game you can obtain the three legendary birds(Articuno, Zaptos and Moltres) all in the locations where they are found in Pok?mon versions Green,Red,Blue and Yellow .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 Pok?mon in tournaments, or doing so gambling winning coins in the game corner to buy exclusive items, and Pok?mon and not to mention batting 16 gyms and taking on the elite four(As well as the hero of Kanto himself Pok?mon trainer Red).
? ? ? ? Pok?mon Crystal ?starts out easy but like all other Pok?mon games upon training and progressing through the game the difficulty ?increases over time and eventually you find your self out classed and out matched (especially if you slack off on your Pok?mon raising/training), so train often.The gym leaders in Pok?mon Crystal eventually get ?harder in difficulty if you don't have the type advantage and gym leaders often equip ?Pok?mon really under leveled first and then when they get to their last Pok?mon it will be leveled significantly higher then most of the other Pok?mon previously equipped or thrown.
? ? ? ?Gamefreak Inc has shown major improvement in the features as well as graphic design for this (at the time) latest and greatest installment in the early Pok?mon franchise. ?The animation was perfected, the entire background scenery was completely revised and updated and really reflects just how good and important graphic design is and how it can affect the enjoyment you get out of playing a game. Pok?mon Crystal goes more in depth character wise, plot wise and graphic design wise than any other classic Pok?mon game in the franchise. I would recommend anyone to play Pok?mon Crystal if they want to enjoy ?a classic Nintendo game boy color game with character depth, excellent graphic design, and really if you enjoy classic Pok?mon games this is a game you simply can't miss it has by far the best plot structure out of mostly all the Pok?mon titles.Also I'd recommend buying a physical copy(I actually own a copy of this game) of this game if you have come across it, it really is one of those games where having a console and physical cartage version makes the experience even better!?

Hope you enjoyed reading my review?
~Love, Nymph

Wow what a very descriptive review. I really enjoyed it. I should play crystal.

Pretty good review, with few complaints.
The tabbing is constant, and an absolute eyesore.

Nymph : That's not a bad review at all. You were very descriptive in it.

Nymph : Although it is a very detailed review there is some things you can improve on. Like making paragraphs instead of just indenting everything. Also try to make categories. But it was a very great review too. Very descriptive

Nymph :   Good review! One caveat. 16 divided by 2 equals 8. 10 gyms per region doesn't make sense if there are only 16 gyms. You may want to double check that fact.

It's not for me to say. I've never played all the way though. I don't know if there are 20 gym badges or 16 in Pokémon Crystal. I'm guessing there is no deviation in gym leaders between Pokémon Crystal and Pokémon Silver which I have played most of the way through.

The big picture is in the details. I have faith that you will come up with the correct answer and edit that sentence so that it makes sense.

It's a bit unfortunate that many of these comments aren't all that helpful.  lol

Could I suggest putting a line break between each paragraph?  I see that you indented the paragraphs which... trust me... is beyond awesome, but it still looks like a large chunk of text, which makes it hard to read or daunting for the people that don't do a lot of reading.

I do think your review was written very well. I love how you wrote it like a narrative and made it very personable.  It was evident that you actually made a connection with the game and was then able to express that.  Kudos!

Postman3 : There are 16 gyms..... the 8 from Johto and 8 from Kanto, there is a typo in my Story segment of the review, I apologize for this and if it confused anyone. (I really should have seen this typo because it had 16 gym overall in the game followed by 10 from Johto 10 from Kanto)*face palm* 

Nymph : This is an incredible review! It is long and has plenty of detail. This is great. Good job!
