I think Crystal version should be marked in Pokémon game history! It was the first Pokémon game to have moving sprites. Also, it is the first one to support gender picking.
It was also the first game to support local trading and the first in-game event(Japanese Version Only)

Int he Japanese Crystal, Goldenrod city had a larger, specialized Pokemon Center, called the PCC, or Pokemon Communication Center. Their you could connect to your Cellphone via a cord that came with he game to get current Pokemon news and trade with Pokemon in the area. THis and the Japanese Stadium 2(Actually the 3rd Stadium game in Japan) had such a thing, and was the pre-cursor the D/P's GTS. Also, if you connected to your cellphone at a certain date and time, you got the GS ball, the item to unlock the Celebi Event in ilex Forest.

It's a shame all of this is Japan Only D:

What's more, Nintendo has shut down the original Mobile Adapter server. This means that it's now totally impossible to use the Pokecom Center, even in Japan.

I'm surprised some small hacker community hasn't set up their own server and found a way to trade that way. I just have to wonder if it's possible to trade over the Internet as if you are using the PCC.

I think part of the PCC is in the US version of Crystal, can't remember if it was translated or not. I think it's a room full of scientists. I'm going to look for the page I found the info about it.

EDIT: http://www.legendarypokemon.net/crystal/pcc

I found it. The room is just a room of 3 scientists, and their dialogue was translated.

i liked crystal more because the steelix that the girl gym leader had looked so mucher kooler.


when i battle i follow these rules.
Spoiler:

no using super legends like arcues cause he is hax and that means no darkrai either but i am okay with shaymin.

please no using quick claw because its no fair when a blazekin is faster than ninjask LOL

no double team or sand attack it aint cool

also dont hack pokemon to have more ev points than it should have because it aint fair and makes gengar survive a night slash from weavile xD yea and no hack moves or abilitys cause zapdos with drizzle and sleep powder is really ghey.

hope you agree with me :D

Possible, yes. Feasible, not really. It will take a lot of reverse-engineering the Japanese Pokemon Crystal and Mobile Adapter to get anywhere near this sort of thing, and it's impossible to know how things were run on Nintendo's end.

A significant portion of the Japanese Crystal's changes were translated for use in the American versions, but most were not fully implemented. The whole PCC was translated, for instance, although it's not easy to get the full thing working even through Gameshark.

Crystal will forever be my baby <3 My Gold was one I found at a camp, so it didn't have much meaning to me except by being my first Pokemon experience. Crystal was given to me as a birthday present, and Johto will be forever my favorite region. I love being a girl, the PokeGear, everything. I never finished it (hey, I was ten with a small attention span, cut me some slack xD), because then I got my cousin's GBA and Ruby. I didn't come back to Crystal for awhile, but then I remembered why I loved it so much.

Yes, Crystal will forever be in my heart, despite the fact my cartridge isn't that sparkly one and just a plain slate gray, and it doens't save anymore. I may get a new one eventually, but I will always keep my first one.

I need to make sure it is where I think it is though... xD

Crystal version owns every other game... the storyline is unique too, unlike the other games.

here are my reasons.

an actual clock.
choice of Male/Female
Unique Storyline
Puzzles
There was something to do at least every 2nd Day (Bug Catching Contest)
Large Caves to explore
PokeGear (Radio, Phone, Map and Clock)
Genders
eggs
Shinies
and more

If i could play it on my ds straight of the original cartridge, then id be playing it right now!
Yea... don't mess up the Cloning Glitch and decide to train that glitch to lvl1, then actually deposit with all your good pokemon stuffing them all up, but you having an unlimited army of pokemon in your party! Then the entire game crashes then thats it.

Your Crystal doesn't save anymore!

I found it recently got past falkner saved then when I played again the next day the save file was gone. :/\:
Maybe it is just to old to play that is why I want a remake.

for its time it was one of the best games in the series
it was the first time you had the option of playing as the female char
battle tower introduced
you got an oppurtunity to catch suicune without having to chase it all over the place
definitely my favorite out of g/s/c
