Juanblue85 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I’m wondering why they didn’t just release this one instead of Silver and Gold but now I remember they did go and release Red, Blue and Yellow on 3DS VC. Quote Link to comment

Yeah but those all released at the same time didn't they? Quote Link to comment

Dancing Mog Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 This should silence all the nay sayers that the game was coming, planning to make one last speedrun in my Crystal cartridge around Christmas I think. Quote Link to comment
Ephraim Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 If my backlog wasn't so big already I'd buy this, never played the original. Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I don't mind that they released it separately. I'm just glad that it's coming out. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Welp, guess I know what I'm getting in January. I am on my way to the Lake of Rage in my Silver playthrough after Crystal wasn't released at the same time as G/S. I can't wait to play through Crystal again after so long, it's definitely my preferred version of the three. Quote Link to comment

Chrom Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Nintendo is the publisher of the game and thus is directly responsible for how it's chosen to be released. You can't say it's not on them. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Chrom with the comeback. Whatever the reason they never release Crystal along with Gold and Silver doesn't matter now as it is coming. I had little doubt it was coming but good to hear we're getting a release. Also, is it just me or most associate Crystal mascot as Suicune and not Celebi based on the original box are for Crystal? I know you can Celebi is part of the 2nd gen and another spectacular Pokemon story wise but when I see Celebi and it just breaks how originally see Crystal with Suicune. I hope they don't market the nostalgia with Celebi, that would be mistake, if this is new take on old the title then sure but if they are going for them feels, stick with Suicune.

Better late than never with it. Yep. But frankly I'm just happy that we have a chance to catch one in game. Quote Link to comment

True, they can't change that but I'm more talking about the promotion of this game, we of the old guard knows who represents Crystal. Those who heard of Crystal and want to know more where Pokemon started from, I feel like the they're missing out on the authenticity of Crystal. Just a personal nitpick, not something to blow up over but still significant enough to bring attention to fond nostalgists. Quote Link to comment

They're just advertising Celebi being catchable mainly. Quote Link to comment

Oh, I couldn't watch vid through Twiiter for some reason and having the thumbnail for Celebi makes it look like the focus is on Celebi and not Suicune. Before writing that post I suspect with this being port that Suicune will be focus. It's just as I said those who don't know much about Crystal will think Celebi is the focus when it is really Suicune. Gotta look out for the kiddies. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 After such a long time, Celebi becomes one of a handful of Mythical Pokemon to be available to find and capture in non-Japanese games, along with Mew (FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald via Old Sea Chart event), Darkrai (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum via Member Card event), Shaymin (Platinum via Oak's Letter event), and Victini (Black/White via Liberty Pass event). Cant wait to catch a Celebi for the first time. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I agree Celebi isn't a Pokemon that one can get in main line Pokemon games for the 4 or so gens (at least for Japanese version events and legitimately) but at the same time my fave mystical grass Pokemon has got to go to Shaymin. (especially its sky forme) This Pokemon combines fierceness and cuteness into one package, like Kirby but I don't look at Kirby like that but I suspect ppl who are big fans of him probable do, tho. Who can say no to this Pokemon? Quote Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Good to see it finally coming out! I remember playing it back in the day and really liked the changes and the atmosphere brought to the game. It was around the time the GCN and GBA were coming out and so it brings back memories of that time period. Then I lost Crystal somewhere and couldn't find it for years. I thought it was long gone. Turns out it was under an old tv stands I happened to find while moving. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
Juanblue85 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I will admit now that I think about it I'll just get this afterall as its the only version I never did play and its the first PKMN game to introduce not only a female player but also moving sprites. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
