What do you think of pokemon crystal and yellow is it a rip off of the original in a new package or maybe a few added gimmicks lets look at the evidence:
Yellow:
Semi full colour on Game Boy Colour
More cartoony looking Pokémon not concept Art looking
Team Rocket made a few appearences
Same story line as Red and Blue no difference at all
Pikachu Followed you about
Pikachu your given at start does not evolve at all
Pikachu spoke
Hidden pikachu surfing game
Gym Leaders have different pokemon and are different levels
You can get all of the origianl starting pokémon
Print Pokédex out, Surf Game Score and Certificate
Pokemon are caught in different places and learn diferent moves
Overall view: A few added gimmicks the biggest features are Having pikachu following you and he spoke it gets annoying after a while and you find your self boxing pikachu after a while and never touching him again. Jessie and James is a good feature even though they only appear only 3 times which is a shame. If i was honest the only reason i bought this was because of the Hidden Pikachu surfing game which is the best feature if you can be bothered to unlock it.
Overall i think it is only worth the money of you are a big pokémon fan who wants the few hidden gimmicks
Crystal:
Mobile adapter to battle and trade over the phone (Japan Only)
Play as a boy or girl
Animated pokémon that when on screen do a small animation e.g. Machop flexing his muscles)
Battle tower (Like a mini pokémon stadium)
New radio game to play (Buenas Password)
A new rival who is after suicune
Catch suicune properley with out chasing it every where
A building in dragons den
Loads of hidden rooms in the unown temple
Pokemon are caught in different places and learn different moves
Overall View: This game has lots of new features which makes this a good buy a disapointment though is that the mobile phone function was not included that japan has, its because japan only have one Mobile company and here we have 5 so it would be hard to sort out. The one that stands out the most is the option to play as a boy or girl. The animation is a fun feature as it makes you want to complete the pokédex quicker to see all the animations believe me some animations are worth the trouble my favourite is machop flexing his muscles. The battle tower is a fun place to battle trainers as it is like pokémon stadium so you can use only three pokémon and at certain levels, the tower keeps me coming back for more. The biggest shock i wasn't expecting with this is that you catch suicune just standing there so no more ripping you hair out chasing him also the new rooms in the unown temple. The password game is good a password gets mentioned on the radio and you have to rush to the radio tower quick as you can and say the password to the radio presenter if you get it right you get a point the points can be exchanged for prizes like PP-UPS and Rare candies the more points the better the prize.
Overall i think this game is a big improvement over Gold and Silver lots of new features to keep you going, well worth the money even if the story is roughly the same.
