Story
However, several encounters and additional characters are introduced to the overarching narrative. Crystal features a greater role for legendary Pokémon, with the player awakening Suicune , Entei , and Raikou , and encountering them at various stages of the game. The plotline features a new character, Eusine, who has been searching for Suicune, providing the player with a more direct and narrative pathway to battling and capturing Suicune and the remainder of the game's legendary Pokémon. Crystal also includes minor changes to how the player encounters the Gym Leader Clair, and additions to the role of the Pokémon Unown in the Ruins of Alph, with players able to complete additional puzzles to receive rewards and messages from the Unown.
Gameplay Systems
In addition, Crystal enhances aspects of Gold and Silver , providing cosmetic and gameplay improvements. The visual presentation of Crystal is enhanced through the animation of Pokémon sprites when first encountered in battle, the inclusion of signposts appearing on the screen when entering a new area, and a range of minor graphical enhancements to various locations in the game. It includes the ability to select one of two player characters, adding Kris, a female trainer, with a unique sprite. The game introduces a Battle Tower, a new stadium that allows players to battle a series of seven trainers with three Pokémon set at customizable maximum levels to win prizes.
Mobile System GB Pokémon Crystal players were provided with various interactive features, including the ability to battle and trade online, access news updates, participate in quizzes, and engage in minigames. Players could also create or download battle replays, which could be transferred to Pokémon Stadium 2 on the Nintendo 64 using a Transfer Pak . A special item was also distributed via Mobile System GB that allowed players to catch the rare Pokémon Celebi . Users were charged a per-minute connection fee, with additional charges ranging from ¥ 10 to 100 for accessing specific online features, such as battling, trading, and downloading content.
Nintendo had planned to release the Mobile Adapter GB and launch the Mobile System GB service alongside Pokémon Crystal in December, but delays establishing the service pushed the launch back to 27 January 2001. The online interactions of Pokémon Crystal were highly promoted and the game was expected to be the " killer app " for the service. However, Mobile Adapter GB would not prove to be a commercial success, selling 80,000 units in its first year on the market. Nintendo opted against an international release of the accessory.
The Mobile System GB service was discontinued after less than two years on 18 December 2002. Users could continue to use the peer-to-peer functions of game enabled by the Mobile Adapter GB that did not require connecting to the Mobile System GB service.
