A picture of the game's development later released by [[Game Freak]] revealed an earlier design for the [[Pokémon Communication Center]]. Fundamentally, the differences from the final design include an upper floor on the top-left of the map and two machine areas in the main floor instead of just one, one of which was replaced with a Trade Corner for use with the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] in the final release. | A picture of the game's development later released by [[Game Freak]] revealed an earlier design for the [[Pokémon Communication Center]].

Despite {{game|Crystal}} being incompatible with the original [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Pocket]], [[Game Boy Light]], the [[Super Game Boy]] and the [[Super Game Boy 2]], there is an unused Super Game Boy border programmed into the game, which can be activated by setting a flag in the game's {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} to enable the Super Game Boy features. Cheating devices such as the {{wp|Game Genie}} can also be used to achieve the same effect, albeit only temporarily. The border is a leftover from the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold]], since the design is the same and the text reads <sc>Pocket Monsters Gold Version</sc>, rather than <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon Gold Version</sc> as it does in the English version of Pokémon Gold.<ref>[http://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Crystal#Super_Game_Boy_features Pokémon Crystal - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> This could also suggest that [[Game Freak]] used Pokémon Gold as the basis for the development of Pokémon Crystal. | Despite {{game|Crystal}} being incompatible with the original [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Pocket]], [[Game Boy Light]], the [[Super Game Boy]] and the [[Super Game Boy 2]], there is an unused Super Game Boy border programmed into the game, which can be activated by setting a flag in the game's {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} to enable the Super Game Boy features.
