Does anyone have Crystal Version?
My first pokemon game ever was crystal version. I still have it albeit the battery doesnt work and the sticker is missing. My friend recently told me crystal version was rare and I thought about it... the only real copy ive seen is my own.
Do any of y'all have crystal version? How rare is it? |
Crystal is rare? Didn't it sell like hot cakes?
I still have mine (and I changed the battery last year, so it's fully functional again :) ). |
I work at mcdonalds. Hotcakes sell very well :P
I dont know ive never done any research on it but my friend said it's the rarest of the main series pokemon games. Not sure if its true or not. Maybe I should look into it. |
I don't think Crystal is that rare. It sold very well, probably depending where you live it's harder to get. But imo, I think Emerald is now more valuable than Crystal.
|
I have Crystal. It's my favorite of the three. I actually had Silver first, but my brother dropped it in the toilet, so we got a used Crystal instead. The battery on Crystal lasted almost eight years and I got it replaced when the battery started showing signs of dying. I have my Crystal back along with Gold and two Silvers [one doesn't work] and now I have my own Miltank.
I also have my old Pokemon from Crystal in a Stadium 2 box until I get enough Pokemon to withdraw them. Crystal was the best of Gen II! ...Didn't Crystal sell a lot of copies? I think it seems rare now because it's old and not being produced anymore. |
Dropping a game cartridge in the toilet shouldnt break it... I dont think. Did you try drying it off?
|
I have the game, it's a lot of fun.
|
Unfortunately, I don't own a copy of Pokemon Crystal. :C
|
I have a Crystal game. My first GBC is as dead as a doornail, and the first game with it. I have re-bought both, though.
By the way, Pinta77, that is one of the best avatar photos, man. Respect. |

But yeah I do still have my Crystal version! It must be about 13 years old now but it's still in good working condition.. so I believe. |
I have a Crystal version, though not one I got when I was a kid. I picked it up off of Ebay for $15 I think, and replaced the battery on my own. This was about a year ago. I still have my Gold and Silver versions from when I was a kid though, and replaced the batteries in those as well. They all still work on my ancient GBC, but prefer to play them in my GBA SP because of the lit screen. I still play them from time to time and have ancient link cables to do trade evolutions between cartridges. Sometime I'm thinking about getting a Yellow cartridge and try to complete an old school Pokedex. Basically if I need a douse of nostalgia I bust those out and have a blast doing it.
I don't think I'll ever be able to grow out of GSC. |
At one point in 2005, I had three Crystals. My twin brother and I each got one for Christmas. My dad found the third game w/ Gameboy on the ground at work (apartment complex). The trainer was in Olivine with Quilava. I finished their game, traded over the Pokemon, and restarted. I grew bored with it, though.
So, I gave the third Crystal to my best friend in middle school. We've separated since, as she didn't go to my high school. She's not one to use Facebook, either. My Crystal still works, as of July 2013. I don't know what happened to my brother's game. |
I still have my Crystal version (and it actually works :o )
I sadly never beat the Battle Tower, but oh well. I have all of my Pokemon games in the second drawer, except for X / Y. |
Crystal's my favorite and always my go-to for 2nd gen. I just love the animated sprites way too much.
|
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! But, sadly, it's battery is dry, awaiting home repair!
|
i have the crystal version.i changed the battery one month ago and now is playable again.and it is my favourite pokemon game
|
I still have my Crystal as well. It still works even after all these years. XD i've never had to change the battery yet. :3
|
This sure brings back memories.
I don't have my Crystal cartridge now, sadly... |
I still have mine! Tried playing it about a year ago and it worked perfectly fine. Hopefully I'll have a GPA SP soon to use it again. :)
|
I have a used copy of Crystal from about 10 years ago. I remember when my GameStop had copies of all the GBC pokemon games. And to think, I could have bought Yellow and escaped $100+ for a copy on EBay.
The battery itself works very well, although I've had my save wiped from it. As it is not acceptable to play Pokemon in my household (I still play emulators in secret), my physical copies are in a cabinet in my room. I guess I'm pretty lucky because all of my games still work, and have all the original save files from Blue to Platinum with the exception of Crystal. |
I had Pokemon Silver, not Crystal.
Also, Ask.com states that Pokemon Red is the rarest Pokemon game out there. Which I got! Booyah! |
Mine was lost about six years ago back in 2008. Not sure how I lost it, but it was still in perfect condition, though. The battery was working just fine, and there were no scratches on the cartridge at all. If I didn't lose it, I still would've been playing it, probably. xD"

Anyways! I have both Silver and Crystal, although the latter isn't legit (part of a 2-in-1 cart with Telefang passed off as a 'Pokémon Diamond'). Silver battery died as well, sadly. =( |
I too have a Crystal version. Still have the Box and manual along with it too, since I'm also a Pokemon/Retro game collector. I do know Crystal wasn't as common as the Gold and Silver versions, I remember seeing it VERY limited here in stores. But that may be so because I live in The Netherlands... I guess the game is not that rare, but not very common either :)
I also have Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 on my Nintendo 64, I play these games very often when I have a few days off xD I still enjoy them! :) Best part is, I can play with my trusted Pokemon from my Crystal cartridge in Pokemon Stadium 2 as well! You can get the intern save battery replaced somewhere though, so you can play and save again? :3 |
I have Crystal. I got it when it first came out...it's around my house somewhere. If it ever turns up, I'm glad to know it's a collector's item :)
|
I have Crystal. I guess Crystal can be considered to be somewhat rare, even in used game stores. I actually got mine from a friend who was finished with the game.
|
I've only ever seen one copy of it, personally. Granted, not many people I knew as a kid admitted to playing Pokemon.
|
I did own a copy of Crystal, but it went missing somewhere around the house. It's weird to realize how many Pokemon games I've lost throughout the years, and how many copies of each I went through, haha.
|
I do have one! I got it long time after I got gold and silver!
|
i have a crystal. i got it for christmas (the one we just had) and i like it better because i like the cartridge, i like Kris, and defiantely the animations. i even changed the battery because when i got it, it stopped saving the next day. but even though i changed the battery, mine won't even turn on. it shows the gameboy *ding* and even the nintendo sign perfectly but won't boot up the game. the screen goes white. im thinking that i left the screw out because it was such a pain getting the screw out so i was like "i'll tape it together" it worked after that but i tried booting it up today and it wont turn on. i started crying and my parents started laughing. they don't understand how since i fixed it and it still wont work, that shatters me. anyone got anything? pointer? tips and tricks? please i really wanna play it,
|
I still have Crystal and the box it came in.
|
I've never had Crystal myself, however I've watched playthroughs of it, and one of my old friends owned it. I remember being fascinated by the focus on Suicune, since it'd always been my favourite of the trio. I don't remember if that was after I'd caught one in my Silver version, but that'd just always been the case. Apart from a few changes and additions here and there, it isn't too different though, so don't think I'd ever really get it. But that's the case with every third version I guess, haha.
One thing I specifically remember though, was that they'd fixed the cloning glitch. Or at least made it harder to do. Basically, we'd often do battles where we cloned one specific Pokemon to have 6 of them in our party (always did that with my Typhlosion), however my friend wasn't able to do that with her Crystal, so we had to trade them all over to mine and do it from there. hngg effort. So yeahh, I kinda disliked Crystal because of that. Silly kid :D |
Yes I have my Pokemon Crystal Version still. I keep all of my rare games.
|
I never owned Crystal I had Gold, but I dont think its really rare.
|
I got the game, finally, last month, and yesterday I've changed the battery. I am starting the game today :D
|
Well, I have all the 8-bit main series games except Gold, but I have Pinball and a GB Printer to make up for that.
Crystal is nice in being the only Pokemon game in a GBC cartridge — rare or not, it's relatively unique. My particular copy seems somewhat remarkable in that the original battery still works. Quote:
|
I still have my Pokemon Crystal - But I'm unsure if it still works, still saves or not. Might try it on my Old GBA SP, since I already traded in my GBC years ago.
|
I got al the versions of Gen II.
Crystal whas my least favorite though. |
Yup, I got it for Christmas the year it came out. I played as my sister since it was the first time you could choose a female player character and I had already played as myself in Silver, which had a similar story. It was probably the closest I'd ever gotten to completing the Pokédex and then my cousin overwrited the game and I cried for days. I don't think I've completed the game on that cartridge since, haha.
|
I sold my Emerald for 5$. I hated Gen III lol
I have a cartridge for both Crystal and Gold. My sister had Silver's cartridge. |
I had a physical copy for about a decade until it stopped saving. I have it on an emulator now.
|
I still have my copy of Crystal, and I'm pretty sure the battery is doing fine! I know the batteries on my Gold and Silver are good because I just replaced them.
|
I got it, after searching for it for like half a year. I'm currently playing it :D
|
My first game was Pokemon Blue version but at some point in time I have had a copy of all the American versions of the games pass through my hands at some point. My parents actually bought my Crystal version but I was still young even after having it for a year or so and sold it in order to save up for the Gameboy Advanced SP. It's a bit saddening but right at this moment I currently own Silver Gold Red and Yellow version, so I'm happy.
|
Crystal was the first Pokémon game that I ever owned. I had played Red and Gold at my friends house when Gen II came out. Then I saved up to buy my own Gameboy Advance, and I bought one that came with Crystal. I was so happy that they had that deal! I lost that Gameboy and Crystal though. I really wish I could find them, for collective purposes.
|
I had all 3 (G/S/C) and everyone I knew had crystal too
|
I still have Crystal. Probably doesn't save anymore, but, hey, that's what speedruns are for.
