 ==Localization changes==
-The localized releases of Crystal, while improving on the mechanics of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, did not reprise a number of newer features that the Japanese version had received:
+* Pokémon Crystal version is the last localized [[core series]] game to use the slogan ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]''.
+* The Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal has an emblem of Suicune's crest on the back of the Game Pak's circuit board.
+* During battles in Pokémon Crystal, Japanese midline horizontal ellipses ("⋯") are used in the English versions instead of regular ellipses ("&hellip;") due to an oversight.
+* As the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] was not released outside of Japan, these related features were present in the Japanese version but were entirely removed in the localized versions of Crystal:
+** Goldenrod City's Pokémon Center was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center. The localizations reverted it to the Pokémon Center of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} while changing some of the [[Non-player character|NPCs]] to match those in the Pokémon Communication Center.
+** The Pokémon News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Mobile System GB. Pokémon News was compiled from the saved game data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
+** Players could link to [[trade]] or battle through the use of the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] and the previously mentioned Mobile System GB.
+** Players could leave a Pokémon and a request for the Pokémon species that it be traded for at the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner. A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them. This is similar to the current [[Global Trade System]] of the [[Generation IV]] and later games.
+** A researcher at the Ruins of Alph claims that the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] influences the Unown. His unused English text is: ''According to my research... Those mysterious patterns appeared when the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>com Center</sc> was built. It must mean that radio waves have some sort of a link...''
+* Some features are related to the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] in Japanese but are still available in the international versions without using that device:
+** The {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} was connected to the Mobile System GB. In the localization versions, the Battle Tower is open at all times.
+** The [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} gave an [[Egg Ticket]] which, when taken to the Trade Corner at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], could be traded for an [[Odd Egg]] which hatched into a [[baby Pokémon]] that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and has a 50% chance of being {{Shiny}}. In the localizations, the Day-Care Man instead gives away the Odd Egg himself and it only has a 14% chance of being Shiny.
+** The [[GS Ball]] was [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation II)|distributed in Japan]] using the Mobile Game Boy Adapter. This item, given by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]], may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, Kurt gives back the GS Ball to the player and asks them to check the restless Ilex Forest. Taking the GS Ball to the shrine at Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}}.

After a day passes, Kurt gives back the GS Ball to the player and asks them to check the restless Ilex Forest. Taking the GS Ball to the shrine at Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}}.
+*** Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable overseas without [[cheating]] or hacking, the event was translated and adapted to the regular [[Pokémon Center]] in Goldenrod City of the Western releases of Crystal, indicating that it was intended for the localizations to include the event, but was later scrapped. Celebi was [[List of European language event Pokémon distributions (Generation II)|distributed internationally]] by other methods which did not involve the GS Ball.
+*** In the release of this game for [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]], the [[GS Ball]] is obtained once the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], being equally available in all language versions.
-* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught at [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special event requiring the [[Mobile System GB]] allowed players to obtain the [[GS Ball]].
