Get ready to travel the Johto region one more time!
It has been announced that Pokemon Crystal will be released on the Virtual Console. Pokemon Trainers will be able to travel the Johto region as it was back in the early 2000s!
Pokemon Crystal had many of Pokemon’s firsts. One of the most famous ones was the first time players were allow to choose between a male or female playable character. The other first was animations for Pokemon as they enter the battle. It was also Pokemon’s first main series game on the Game Boy Color.
This release of Pokemon Crystal will allow trainers the chance to capture Celebi within the game. Japanese players will be given the GS Ball after they defeat the Elite Four. This GS Ball can be given to Kurt who will in return award Celebi to the players. It is unsure if this feature will be carried over to international releases.
Originally, Celebi was distributed to Japanese players using a special cell phone accessory. This item allowed players to trade and battle across Japan. It was Pokemon’s first attempted at wireless communication. This feature was never brought over to international versions.
