Pokémon Crystal to be Released on Virtual Console

As many speculated when Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver were released on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console last year, fans will get a chance to re-play the classic Pokémon Crystal as well.

Set for a release on January 26, 2018, it will include the ability to deposit caught Pokémon in Pokémon Bank and transfer them to Gen VII games. The re-release of Crystal will also allow players to encounter the legendary Celebi!

I, for one, am massively excited! The animated sprites of Crystal are some of the most iconic in the series. It also finally let you choose the gender of your trainer at the outset of your adventure! This will be a great way to start 2018 for trainers across the world!

  1. Hey… A thought, Is that maybe Gen 7 will be the end of Pikachu as the games mascot. Meaning Ash wont be synonymous with the franchises lifespan.
    It would be the perfect time to so, or never at all.
    Sun and Moon could be the end of Ash or almost.
    Just a thought, highly unlikely.. especially seeing as they probably want to bring some consistency into a land that’s so new to it’s customers. Being a Home console Pokemon game with updated everything.

  2. I just remebered something about Smash

    We should get Midnight Lycanroc if anything, think they were popular enough to get a new form for USUM. You can’t say it would look awkward because its perfectly suited for combat games like this (Think, Duck Hunt was suitable so a Bipedial wolf can too), unlike its other forms it has more options for attacks they an give it and let’s be honest it looks like it could be more villainous so it could fit in with Bowser and that crowd

    I hope they take this to thought if they are thinking of a new Pokémon to add

        • Here is a full list of which characters I’d like:
          – Daruk (he’d be very defensive)
          – Mipha (would be able to heal herself occasionally)
          – Urbosa (super speedy and powerful)
          – Revali (able to fly like Kirby)
          – Link (BOTW) (botw skin, final smash is either urbosa’s fury, dark’s protection, revel’s gale or mipha’s grace)
          – Zelda (BOTW)
          – Mario (SMO)
          – Cappy
          – Tiara
          – Diancie
          – Primarina
          – Tapus
          – Solgaleo/Lunala
          – Incineroar and also Decidueye

      I would say BOTW champions but it’s really hard to pick one. I feel Urbosa has a stronger chance than anyone else
      Decidueye has a good chance

      They’re gonna have to cut back on clones

    • Well we’ve had events since then but it’s pretty cool to have one from its’ origin game. I have a cloned shiny one from it somewhere.

      • I know, but you need to understand. This isn’t just one per game file. It’s one PER CARTRIDGE. I only looked it up because I was watching Chuggaconroy’s play-through and he mentioned how rare it is to get it. So I thought–lol I’ll try it but it prolly won’t work! And it did?!! I mean, I don’t care if it’s stats are complete garbage. I’m just surprised that it worked!
