'''Pokémon: Crystal Version''' is the third and final version of the second generation Pokémon games, following ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions]]''. Like ''[[Pokémon: Yellow Version]]'', it has a somewhat altered storyline, along with new features not present in ''Gold'' or ''Silver''.

=Story=

Taking place after the events of the [[Pokémon: Red, Blue and Green Version|original set of games]], ''Pokémon Gold and Silver'' follow the journey of a new character, [[Gold]] (Gold is the default; the player may name him anything). Like [[Red]], Gold wants to become a Pokémon master. To accomplish this, Gold must defeat eight Pokémon gym leaders; defeat the [[Elite Four]]; compete with his rival, [[Silver]]; foil the plans of [[Team Rocket]]; and capture as many of the different species of Pokémon as he can.

=Gameplay=

''Pokémon Crystal'' reprises the gameplay and connections of the previous versions, except with several new alterations shown below.

==Connectivity==

While ''Crystal''s connectivity is the same as ''Gold'' and ''Silver'' in the American version, there was on feature only in Japan; this was was a mobile phone link-up which could be used to link up with other players over mobile phone connections. Through this the player could also obtain the GS Ball, which was needed to obtain [[Celebi]]. However, this feature was removed from releases of the games in other countries due to Nintendo's opinion cell phones not being as popular among children in other countries as they were in Japan.

=Version Differences=

As with the main difference between ''Gold'' and ''Silver'', there are several varieties of Pokémon that cannot be found in ''Crystal'' and must be traded from one of the other games.

One of the main new features of ''Crystal'' is the option to choose your trainer's gender. In addition, there are a few storyline differences; as ''Gold'' had focused on [[Ho-Oh]] and ''Silver'' and [[Lugia]], ''Crystal'' focuses on the legendary dog [[Suicune]]. A new subplot involves a new character, [[Eusine]], who hunts for Suicune. Graphically, the Pokémon battle sprites were now animated. Other additions included the addition of Move Tutors and the Battle Tower.

=Legacy=

Most of the new features in ''Crystal'' were implemented into the later Pokémon games.

==Sequels==

The next mainstream games to be released were ''[[Pokémon: Ruby and Sapphire Versions]]''.
