* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught at [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special event requiring the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] allowed players to obtain the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a {{DL|Pokémon Center Nurse|In the games|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 him/her 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. | * In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught at [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission.

==Differences in the Virtual Console release== | |||
The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. Like in the original releases, they can only communicate with the Virtual Console Generation I core series games by using the [[Time Capsule]]. Unlike the VC releases of Generation I games, closing the communication normally does not cause the emulator to restart, although it does restart if the communication was cut due to an error. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue. Additionally, all of the [[Game Boy Printer]] features are disabled, although the option still appears in the Pokédex and the PC menu<!--: when selected, the game acts as if the printing is in progress, even though, in reality, nothing is happening-->. | |||
[[Mystery Gift]] can be performed with other Virtual Console copies of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal using the Nintendo 3DS system's [[infrared]] port. Unlike other link features, the user interface remains unchanged from the original games. | |||
Using [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon can be sent from the Generation II core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]], and from Pokémon Bank, they can then be moved to [[Generation VII]] core series games. | |||
In battle, when a Pokémon attacks, its {{wp|HUD (video gaming)|HUD}} doesn't disappear for the duration of the animation as it did in the original releases. This causes several graphical oddities, such as the animations of {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Splash}} causing the user's HUD to move along with its sprite. Also, some moves had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing by dimming the screen, although this is not the case in all localized releases. | |||
In the Japanese release, {{p|Jynx}}'s sprite has been replaced with the sprite used in Western versions, as the original had previously fell under controversy for its resemblance to {{wp|blackface}}. | |||
The event allowing the player to obtain the [[GS Ball]] and capture {{p|Celebi}} is activated by entering and leaving the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] (in the Japanese release) or the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] (in non-Japanese releases) after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], without any additional requirements. Not only is this event now available to Japanese players outside of events, and to worldwide players at all, it also occurs earlier in the game, as the original Crystal release required the player to get all eight [[Kanto]] badges first. | |||
