PKMN Crystal version

Pokémon Crystal is a modified version of the Gold and Silver titles designed for use with the Japanese cell phone network. The gameplay is still the same Pokémon - find monsters, train them for battle and catch 'em all - with a few tweaks. For example, players can assume the role of a female Pokémon collector for the first time in the series. Nintendo's "Mobile Adaptor GB" can be used to connect the Game Boy to a cellular phone, enabling players to trade or battle Pokémon with other players around the world. In Japan, a cell phone is something that every man, woman, and child own.


Pokémon Crystal is essentially a Special Edition version of Pokémon Gold and Silver. The new Mobile Adapter system allows the Game Boy Color to download data from a network -- rare Pokémon like Mew or Celebi will probably be one of the key components of the Pokémon Crystal game, forcing players to check in with Nintendo to see if they'll get the chance to catch a rare Pokémon.
The biggest addition is that a new Pokémon trainer has joined the team, and gamers can choose to be either a girl or boy Pokémon trainer in the game! Nintendo has yet to release the name of this new female trainer, but you can catch a glimpse of her over on the right. She's not dressed as catty as Jessie or Misty -- more like a scientist with the long coat and Poké Gear around her neck -- so perhaps if she's included in the show, she will be less hyper-cutesy and more serious about being a great Pokémon Master.
In addition to the female trainer, another main character has been announced for the game -- a creepy looking fellow named Minaki. This stranger is on a mission to find Suicune -- it is a mystery why he wants this Legendary Pokémon so, but until you find out his motives, it's probably best to stop his quest. Also added is a new radio station, with a broadcast by a friendly female DJ called Hello Aoi, where Aoi may pass on new secrets about the quest ahead. The game will also delve deeper into the mystery of the Unown.
Another new addition to the game is an improvement of the graphics. Now in battles, the Pokémon will animate slightly to show the attack better. For example, Cyndaquil lights up the fire on his back. The animation will be limited -- you won't see Lickitung launch its big tongue across the screen or Houndoom spit a huge fireball that lights up the screen -- but its still a vast improvement over the still, blah battles that you're used to. Sorry, but I have no pictures.
