On the way back, the player is attacked by a spiteful and mysterious Pokémon Trainer. Oak, convinced that the player has started their own Pokémon journey, gives them a Pokédex. The player meets Kanto’s own Professor Oak during the errand for Elm. He provides the player with one of three Pokémon: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile to help them get to Mr.

The player is called to Professor Elm’s lab to run an errand. It takes place in the region of Johto like Gold and Silver, with access to Kanto granted later in the game, with the player’s starting town being New Bark Town. It featured various fixes and some new additions, most notably the introduction of the option to play as a girl. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2000, in North America on July 29, 2001, and in Europe on November 2, 2001.

It was released as a solitary version to Pokémon Gold and Silver, which were released one year before. Pokémon Crystal Version (Pocket Monsters: Crystal Version) is the third and final Generation II core series game for Game Boy Color. Also, be sure to check out Pokemon Quarantine Crystal.
