Pokemon Crystal Clear Turns It Into an Open-World Game

Released in late 2000 for the Game Boy Color, Pokemon Crystal was the third game in the second generation of Pokemon games. The game takes place in the Johto region and focuses on the Legendary Water-type Pokemon, Suicune. Pokemon Crystal also introduced features that would become common in future Pokemon games, such as the ability to play as a female character and animated sprites during battles, which replaced the static images used in earlier versions.
