| | Customer Reviews: An Excellent Time Sink (25 July 2010)For someone with plenty of free time, Pokemon games are top notch. Pokemon Crystal is no exception; just make sure you have a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advanced. Though the game can be "beaten" within a week or two of solid work, the open-ended world of Johto and Kanto has plenty more to do and see. I've currently put around 100 hours into the game thus far, and there's still a lot left to do! The two new Pokemon types, Dark and Steel, add some much-needed balance to the game (both of the new types are good against the previously-god-like Psychic, and Ghost moves now work properly against Psychic as well). Also, many of the new moves added create much more depth to the strategy of the game in general. Baton Pass, for example, can allow you to move stat-enhancing effects to other Pokemon in your team, allowing for countless team combinations. The new Pokemon breeding system also allows for much more diversity in a Pokemon's available moves, and makes using the one-time-use TM items not as much of a risk; if used on a male Pokemon, it can be passed down to any offspring of said Pokemon. All in all, I'd say that Pokemon Crystal improves on many of the problems from the original generation of Pokemon games (Pokemon - Red Version, Pokemon - Blue Version, and Pokemon, Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition). Compared to the other Pokemon games of THIS generation (Pokemon Gold Version and Pokemon, Silver Version), Pokemon Crystal allows the player to select between a Male or Female character, has improved color, and allows access to BOTH of the ultra-legendary Pokemon (Lugia and Ho-Oh). If you're looking for a hand-held game to keep you occupied for a long time, try picking up a used copy of Pokemon Crystal! A pretty gem for your pokemon collection.. (24 May 2010)I'm sure anyone'd do just fine without Crystal if they have Gold or Silver.. And if it matters to anyone -- I think the Gold/Silver intro to the game is better than Crystal.. Overall it's just worth getting if you haven't got the others yet. Moving sprites is cool.. plus the ability to play as a girl is awesome for us girl gamers out there. Good game, get it with the battery replaced :] unsavable Pokemon Crystal Version (21 December 2009)The original game cartridge purchased would not save the progress. It was returned and replaced by seller(Lukie Games, Inc.). Replacement game cartridge also would not save game progress. This game cartridge has faulty or dead save battery. Pokemon Crystal (16 October 2009)I love this game. It is so much fun. I got a very fast delivery, faster than expected. Very happy with my product and how the transaction went down. Pokemon Crystal (31 August 2009)I think it is a great game and I will eventually own more of the pokemon games. |
