Pokémon Crystal Now Available on eShop

by

Pokémon Crystal, first released in English in 2001, is now available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in some regions and will continue to roll out globally as January 26th arrives in different countries.

For the first time ever English speakers will be able to access the special GS Ball mini-event which ends with the player encountering a level 30 Celebi in Ilex Forest. Whether or not you’re motivated by Celebi or pure nostalgia, the game retails for $9.99. Don’t forget that this landmark game was the first to introduce players to a choice of gender when starting the game, animated sprites when entering a battle and was the first game to add the challenging Battle Tower gauntlet.

We have some QUESTIONS for our readers who are planning to play which you can answer in the comments below:

  • What Pokémon are you thinking of using?
  • Do you think your play-through will differ from when you originally played the game?
  • What is your favorite animated Pokémon sprite in Crystal?

Good luck trainers!

  2. Blehhhhhh do I really want to replay Crystal….

    My Totodile, hunting down a male phanpy and Teddiursa and all the way until union cave to pick up my Zubat and teach it swift, until I get Headbutt and painstakingly hunt down Heracross until I either catch a Sneasle or wait for the very end to get ma Larvitar

  4. Think I might get crystal because I enjoyed Gold so much and the Odd Egg is basically a free shiny if you save and reset every time before you get it, meaning you can get any shiny you want from the Gen 1 babies

  10. I am gloom and glum…. work is slow and for once I don’t enjoy it… I just want to retreat back to my room with a bag of chips and a gallon of water and avoid everything and everyone…

    Also I wish someone could go into my room and put Berserker (Shiny Pangoro) into the next phase of EV training so it would be ready later tonight aposed to later tomorrow because I’m very eager to start hunting for a Shiny Roggenrola I never noticed how much I like the purple color on it

    But would I evolve it? It’s another case of like prevos more than fully evolved ones…

    Just rambling until 12:30 so I can take a lunch break…

  13. I had a dream I saw some footage from gen 8. Soaring returned and if the pokemon could also swim you could fly straight down into the water to dive or surf. There were tons of overworld pokemon. It was another archipelago and the evil team were business men looking.

    I dont want another island region (alola had so much missed opportunity) but I wouldnt mind soaring to come back..

  19. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

    Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

    But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

    In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.

    It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

    But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

    We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.

    As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating “For Whites Only”. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.

    I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.

    Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.

    I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

    I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

    I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

    I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    I have a dream today.

    I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

    I have a dream today.

    I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

  40. I’ve recently been practicing cloning on a ROM. Trickier than GS and the chance for a glitch Pokémon (which you can just release with no issue) but I haven’t experienced anything Save Corrupting yet.
    I want to use this glitch to abuse the Odd Egg.
    I’m also excited to shiny hunt Celebi.

  42. My team is gonna get wrecked by Ghetsis. Maybe even by N. They’re all at lvl 50 or 48. the E4 wasn’t too bad, but it was certainly not a breeze. We shall see what happens. As a side note did any of you know there are grunts that’ll transport you to and from the castle and Pokemon center at the league? I never knew that. I was confused, but it was a cool thing. Lets you go back and buy more items if you need

    • You could do some really cool stuff with fighting (use its tongue more than maybe greninja actually does). Ghost could get some interesting design/ lore going. And electric could have some really cool design elements like a plug on the end of its tongue.

      • I love all these ideas!

        I think I should spill though why I ask. I’m rebooting my Fakemon Region and I’ve chosen a Chameleon starter for Grass so the only one I’m a tad weary on is Ghost because of Deci.

        I totally love the idea of it absorbs sunlight and then turning it in to electricity so thank you :3

        Reply

        • Lol wouldn’t that be awesome??? Electric chameleon would be soo cool. Honestly, having it be a normal type pokemon you get later on that can branch into multiple evolutions with secondary typings would be really cool too, though as a starter it has a lot of potential.

          Also, you could do great things with psychic and hypnosis inspiration since their eyes are soo wacky (I see a black and white spiral in its eyes when I picture this).

          Fairy type could take it places, as could a dragon type (though that seems pretty typical considering its looks).

  49. LOVE watching Reshiram and Zekrom appearing in BW. I remember when they were first revealed and I wasn’t sure what to make of them. Now I think they’re totally badass. I think I may like Zekrom more than Reshiram, but both are super cool mons

  51. Lowkey want to buy this Crystal, but I also own a physical copy??? Also want to shiny hunt that celebi, but not sure if my self worth is that low??? Also not sure why I’m using so many question marks, but it’s very satisfying???

    I still don’t see why they don’t put these on the Switch as well.

  52. I forgot to mention I beat Drayden and it was semi hard

    Echo (Beheeyem) destroyed Fraxure in one Shadow Ball
    Frosty (Vanillish) went rounds with Druddigon till it won
    Bubbles (Seismitoad) lost to Haxorus after getting swept by Dragon Dance x3 + Dragon Tail
    Sir Kibble (Pawniard) took aim and got lucky it used dragon dance again and knocked out Haxorus with X-Scissor

    Now onto VR and soon the E4

  54. Don’t know if anyone here plays Monster Hunter, but IT’S TIME TO GET HYPED!! World’s getting fantastic reviews across the board, I just can’t wait to get my hands dirty with some of the monsters. For those of you who haven’t played it, the action can get pretty thrilling and intense, plus it has some great RPG elements to it. Combine that with fantastic replay-ability with weapons, and that’s a great recipe. Here’s some music to get you in the mood, though it’s a step back from the adrenaline pumping style game play.

    Reply

  55. Alright! Both N and Ghetsis defeated. N wasn’t crazy anything honestly. He wasn’t easy, but he wasn’t too hard either. Ghetsis on the other hand was actually much easier than I though he’d be. My Scrafty put a pretty big hole in his team and then the others went down without to much extra trouble. His hardest Pokemon was naturally Hydreigon, but he uses it not long into the battle. So once you beat it he’s not that bad. Was afraid that his Seismitoad and Eelektross would give me trouble, but neither of them were too bad. I think I got lucky with them tho.

  58. I think the reason I like BW so much is that the end of the game isn’t the usual ending you’d get in many of the other games. In almost all other games the main story ends with you beating the league officially and the bad guys have already been taken care of. In BW the end of the main story is just that, the end of the main story. You can go back and officially become champion on your own time. I like how the end of the story is the end of the actual game rather than you basically finishing up the entirety of the the plot only to have a space of nothingness in the run up to the league. I really hope that the next game does something similar to this. SM made the beat the bad guys before the league formula a little better as the actual creation of the league was part of the story, but even still……I also love how they intentionally left BW open ended. I know they intended BW2 to be a reg 3rd version at first, but the way they ended BW made it clear they had another plot ready in their minds. Seeing N flying off with his legendary dragon as a cliff hanger of his return later is very cool.

  60. Tbh Crystal f*cked up the pokedex. Removed Mareep (why remove one of the only new electric types?) Remoraid and Girafarig. Moved Magmar to post game, so if you don’t choose Cyndaquil (and why would you considering Totodile is there) you’re left with choosing between Growlithe, Flareon, and Ponyta (who you can only get after the 8th gym). That’s some Diamond and Pearl levels of bullsh*ttery. And they didn’t even fix the fact that a bunch of new pokemon still aren’t available pre-E4.

    Yeah, the game is twice as long as normal, but it’s still a shame. And I do love Crystal, but it kinda falls short. Doesn’t fix glaring problems whereas Platinum at least did, which is why I still say it’s the best third version. It was like the only one that actually took criticisms of the first game and did something about them.

    Reply

    • Wait there’s no Mareep, damn I was gonna use that. I think you have a chance of getting Magby at daycare as an egg. Struggling to make a team beyond Aipom and Heracross rn :/ Likely will use Typhlosion and Johnny Quags. Alot I might want to use is late game, I guess I could use some temporaries to prevent overleveling but idk.

  68. So I am definitely going to get a Nintendo Switch in the coming months, but I don’t know what game to get. I have rarely played games aside from Pokémon. Also, as it is now certain what I am doing for the next four years of my life, I won’t have as much time to play video games. Thus I pose these questions on the Pokejungle community. With the knowledge of what I have said, what should I get as my first game(s) and/or is there a good Nintendo Switch Bundle that would fit me?

    Reply

    • Zelda and Mario are must buys so there are two staight off the bat.

      The Switch’s indie support is insane so don’t miss out on any. Stardew Valley especially. Hollowknight is also on its way so when that comes out check it out.

      Splatoon 2 is insanely fun and is pretty accessible, you just gotta push through learning the controls. The motion controls may seem weird but if you get the hang of them you’ll be fine.

      Mario Kart 8 is always fun if you have friends over a lot

      Those are just some recommendations off the top of my head

      Reply

      • Thanks for your suggestions. My concern about Stardew Valley is that the game might be a time sink. My roommate has it right now and that is also his opinion. Zelda and Mario are obvious, unfortunately I have never attempted to familiarize myself with those two series at this point, and I am also concerned about them being time sinks. Of those two I am leaning towards Breath of the Wild But it would be my first Zelda game so I am worried that I might be missing out on some stuff.

        Reply

        • I wouldn’t consider Stardew Valley a time sink really. My switch save file isn’t that far in because I kinda just pick it up whenever. Now my PC save file is on year 3 so…

          Reply

        • Also don’t worry about missing out by having BOTW be your first.

          It is certainly a departure for the rest of the series but it’s not like there is lore to keep up with.

          Zelda and Mario alone could keep you busy for months so I’d say you are pretty much set with those two for quite a while.

          Reply

          • The only lore you really need to know is that the 3 mains (Link, Zelda, and Ganon) are reincarnated every so often..I mean they cut the triforce out of the plot so that’s not even important to BotW.

          • Sorry, what I meant was maybe Butter Geek is looking for an emotional connection in his life and that could be it. I may have poorly worded the question.

          • Eh, no shame in it, deer. Was just surprised is all. You gotta remember, we’re like a family here, we all have moments where we listen to each other’s problems, or get lost and fight over them, but we stick together to help our fellow PokeJungle family~

          • I meant has Butter Geek ever felt safe enough around someone to open their heart up to someone. Life can be an isolating experience and with the daily pressures in life compounded with that, it could be affecting his perspective in life. (Not that it is a bad thing).

          • I meant the latter, emotional intimacy. Nothing wrong with that. The point I was getting to was what I explained to Deerlia in my clarificaton if my ambiguous question. I am of the same sentiments as many people here, you should look this stuff up on your own, try to find an answer that you are most satisfied with, and go with that. As of now, it may be in your interests to get to know the people who caught your eye on a friendly basis. Social interactions could be revealing in describing the quandary you are experiencing. This would call for some courage of course and you might be hurt by this as well. Regardless, just do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

    • Well you could be something else too. I am pretty sure there are now a plethora of sexualities out there as well, so a little research on the internet wouldn’t hurt.

      Reply

    • If you have to question it then probably. But something I’ve noticed with people who aren’t sure is it might be a matter of if you’re open to letting yourself like the same gender. That can be mistaken as confusion when really you’re just not accepting something about yourself

      Reply

    • Huh, I never knew our local Butter was Bi or interested in it, interesting.
      Exploring this avenue can be a very strange and unusual experience, deer..,
      You gotta ask a lot of questions and do your homework on it, otherwise you could be dead wrong and uneasy about it. If you need advice, ask someone who knows they are Bi how they figured it out, when you feel more confident in yourself, the answer becomes crystal clear, deer~

      Reply

    • I did a little internet sleuthing, and i found something that caught my attention while searching about bi curiousity.
      https://www.helpguide.org/articles/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-disorder-signs-and-symptoms.htm
      Do you think it’s possible you may have this diagnosis, maybe the symptoms play into your psyche here, it literally came up with the bi curiosity question near the end of the first result page, most other results are questionnaires or quizzes from unrepeatable sources.
      I am not trying to startle you deer, I just am worried about you.

    • You’ll figure it out. It’s not something you can rush or figure out in a day. When it’s right it’s right. You’ll know it when you know it. I know that’s kind of a lame answer, but only your heart can tell you what you want. Trying to force anything out of it will only confuse you more. If one day you find yourself into a guy then you’ll know your answer. In the end either path is good. Just gotta do what feels right.

    • It doesn’t matter. Honestly. It’s not like being trans where you’re going to get dysphoria or something. I’ve found that the less I cared about my sexuality, the less it can hurt me in any way.

      I know Poland isn’t exactly the most accepting country, but you’re still in the 21st century. You don’t have to be distraught or anything beyond the initial confusion.

  95. Well considering the chat is so dead that we’re talking about the jungle like its a dating game and the mods have probably offed themselves with how terrible that is, how about a game?

    Post a song and whoever else will rate it. The catch is, it has to be from some sort of media (game, tv, film) rather than an individual release.

  100. I bought Crystal, woo! I have class in the afternoon so I’ll start playing it when I get home, and I’m excited. A bit bummed that it doesn’t come with a Suicune theme, but I’ll survive. It wasn’t that long ago that I played through Crystal on its original cartridge, but it was long enough that I’m more than willing to play it again. Nintendo is obviously doing their job well because picking up my 3DS again made me realize how much I miss the system. Pretty soon I think I’ll buy another wave of 3DS games that I never played (Metroid Samus Returns, Hey Pikmin, Ever Oasis, etc.) because I definitely don’t want to give up on the system entirely!

      • That really is the biggest challenge of all. I don’t remember anymore but I’d be shocked if my last Crystal team didn’t have Ampharos. The only ones I’m sure I want to use are Togetic, Ursaring, and maybe Forretress or Piloswine. And in the off chance I find a shiny during my playthrough like I did in HeartGold I’ll use that one too 😛

        • Well Mareep isn’t in Crystal for some reason and I have nobody to trade for it. I might use Chinchou but I also want to use Quagsire.

          • That’s embarrassing, I didn’t remember that at all! There really are a lot of great choices in Gen 2, which makes it so difficult to choose. Also, a lot of the great ones require a trade partner which is a bit of a shame for me.

Who actually believes we’ll get Gen 8 on Switch in 2018? Early 2019? If not, what spinoff do you think we’ll get besides Detective Pikachu?

    Post a character, and the poster has to guess their personality and whether they’re a hero, a villain, or in-between. Whoever gets the closest to the truth wins for your character.

    now do i enter the correct time and merely wait until 6AM (the time i get up no matter what) and find a Phanpy……

  122. I really do think that we may see a full Nintendo Direct towards the end of next week, or at the very latest the following week. This spot has been open since the Direct Mini happened on the 11th…that’s almost 16 days now…and an open spot has always indicated that a Direct is due sometime soon. I just hope it’s not a Fire Emblem Direct or something like that, I think that would be a hotly contested choice.

    Reply

    • I agree that a direct is coming soon. If there wasn’t I don’t see why they’d have taken down a second direct after the mini one went up. I do think FE is the most likely tho…….It kind of needs one and the only other franchise that could get one is Pokemon, but I don’t see them doing a direct for Pokemon until Zeraora gets revealed. Even then they won’t do one the same month Zeraora gets revealed so that’d push a possible direct even further back. Again I think FE is the most likely candidate. If not that then a general one.

  129. Playing through what is pretty much updated gen 5 games I must say I forgot how awesome the characters were in this generation. In particular Alder. Sure he isn’t the strongest champion but I must say I really like the character. Not to mention his encounter theme is great! https://youtu.be/_KE1iXYzRmw

    Reply

      • Going to be honest I have never used Volcarona. It’s an awesome looking Pokémon but the late evolution level kept me from using it. That said I plan to use it in blaze black 2! That said character wise alder is definitely one of my favorites from gen 5! N is there too obviously. Honestly gen 5 overall had good characters

        • I used it in White 2 and it was so fun. It swept Ghetsis for me, I didn’t even have to use other mons. I want to say I also had it sweep Iris, but I’m not 100% about that.

      • Luxelong, Theriamp, Herolune, Villucard, Glavinug and Pajay. I bred Luxelong and Theriamp because I got some in WT so thought I might as well. Theriamp with Energizate is pretty much my most powerful.

        Reply

          • It shows what a good type combo Electric/rock can actually be. I also wanted a Megatherium Pokemon for ages so had to try it. Luxelong is a rabbit dragon so that was obvious. Pajay I caught and happened to have Hidden Power Fighting which has been so useful. Villucard with its’ Blood Lust+Shell Bell+Drain life is great and I got a Naughty one which I liked thematically.

  174. So does anybody believe we could get Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald on the Virtual Console in the future? I know there aren’t any GBA games on the 3DS eShop, but I’ve had them on my system for over 5 years because of the Ambassador program. Maybe it’s more likely to happen on the Switch?

    Reply

    • I think Switch if anything. ORAS are still recent enough that it would likely be next year earliest. Also they’ll do R/S first then Emerald because otherwise everyone will just get Emerald. It then would open the question of if they’d do FRLG. I would have liked HGSS but who knows really.

      Reply

      • That’s a good point, remakes sort of throw a wrench in things. However, I could still see them bringing RSE and FRLG as the absolute final 3DS Pokemon games before Pokemon Switch in 2019. I would say maybe August for RS, then November for Emerald, and maybe February for FRLG to coincide with the anniversary. Then Pokemon could come out in April or something.

    IT’S ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
    You guys really should go pick it up
    It’s Sword of Destiny by Adam Sapkowski, part of the Witcher series. It’s a collection of 6 50-70 page stories, all following the same main character. I think going in blind wouldn’t be a problem. You can probably find it at any Big book store.
    It’s fantasy, with a lot of swearing, sex and drinking and other Slavic goods. It’s written beautifully, it can make you laugh and it can make you sad. I really think any of you could really enjoy it. Just go and pick it up, it became one of my fav books of all time.

    • Grand task for sure. Those 1 in 8192 chances are going to be a pain and then some. I bet Game Freak’s going to be really lame and release a shiny Celebi through an event or something next year, making all of our efforts seem less amazing after the fact. I don’t care though, I still have my eyes on the prize.

      Reply

      • I have that same fear. But that Shiny Celebi won’t have the Gameboy icon. They really should release Shiny Mew since the only legit way to get it is Faraway Island in Emerald. Hm…which I suppose may be possible if they release Gen 3 on VC.

    The best part of this is that, as far as I’m aware, Celebi will always be Timid upon transfer if it received no EXP, and that it also has 5 guaranteed IVs.
