* Certain Pokémon, such as {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Raikou}}, were given new sprites; Pokémon like {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Suicune}}, which had identical sprites in Gold and Silver, had those sprites refurbished. However, most Pokémon retained their sprites from either Gold or Silver.

* Due to the {{ga|Kris|female character}} not being in Gold or Silver, the sprite of the character will automatically change to the {{ga|Ethan|male character}}'s sprite when trading or battling with another game.

* Why the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB|Mobile Adapter]] features were not made available in the English version has never been officially revealed; Nintendo says that they had FCC issues, but it is more likely a result of children with cell phones being not nearly as common outside of Japan in 2001, and there being a plethora of different styles of phones in use in North America. While the Mobile Adapter system did not make the cut, the maps and text for the system can still be found in the English version, indicating that it was initially intended for the English release.

* The game's opening shows several {{p|Unown}} communicating with {{p|Suicune}} over radio waves, alerting it to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Oddly, this is not part of the game's story, with the Ruins of Alph sidequest being independent of the plot involving Suicune. That said, the Unown are referenced by the [[Wise Trio]] as having a cooperative bond with Suicune.
* Pokémon Crystal is the only [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|third version]] to have its [[version mascot]] come before the version mascots of the other two games of its generation in the [[National Pokédex]]. It is also the only third version in a generation with three legendary version mascots to have its version mascot not in a [[legendary trio]] with the other two.

* Although {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} are compatible with all [[Game Boy]] models (original up to the [[Game Boy Advance SP]]), Crystal will not work on models prior to the [[Game Boy Color]]. This is due to the cartridges being of different models.
