All Version Differences in Pokemon Gold, Silver & Crystal

[@Leto85]

The beauty of Crystal is that Extremespeed Dratini. Once transferred up to USUM, that move can be used as an egg move. This Dratini can also be shiny.

[@Alizudo]

You can also get the Extreme Speed Dratini from the Gen 2 remakes, if you bothered to try

@obbygift Going through all the games is more satisfying. I've done it.

[@CeceliPS3]

Work 3 years to buy you dream car. The very next day you win the same model from a contest. Guess what car you're gonna sell? The car you didn't make any effort to get it. So, getting pokemons from old carts is surely more satisfying.

[@CeceliPS3]

@obbygift the amount of effort you put in the answer to only deny something so true... I'd say... TRIGGERED

[@startheangel9760]

Pokemon Crystal was better then Gold and Silver the only problem is that Mareep is exclusive to Gold and Silver.

[@thud93factory51]

my exact thoughts

[@theenderjack54minecraftpvz69]

Why do people like mareep so much? There are other pokemon better then it, in my opion

[@pharrshot6668]

mareep being gold and silver exclusive is fucking bullshit I just got crystal version on my 3ds today

[@kimeea77]

Why is mareep my second fav johto electric not in Crystal

[@bee5120]

Even though I knew of Pokémon and even started watching the animé from the very first Kanto episode, Johto was actually my generation of Pokémon. It all started here for me. Gen1 is good but nothing gives me more nostalgia than Gen2 Johto generation. :-)

[@ElementlSynd]

I started with pokemon blue but I got stuck for so long on silver that it is my favorite one today

[@naturalprodigy8223]

Yeah all the johto games are my favorite they are just really fun to play doesn't matter which version there all good

I would love to see the regional changes! This series is really interesting to someone who likes random trivia, like me.

[@jinxbleps3054]

Well, for one thing, the exclusivity of the Teddiursa and Phanpy lines were swapped over in the Japanese and Korean versions.

[@mkhcfire9684]

That's honestly pretty interesting.

[@udontneedtoremember4840]

Yes please do regional changes! Even GSC has regional changes, like Teddiursa and Phanpy (IIRC) being changed to which version they're exclusive to outside of Asia

[@CandyEvie]

Yup, I had that noted down ;)

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

Fun Fact: In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Teddiursa and Phanpy lines were swapped as version exclusives. This means Phanpy and Donphan are available in HeartGold while Teddiursa and Ursaring are avaliable in SoulSilver

Gold, Silver and Crystal. So many memories with the game. Even though I think Heartgold and Soulsilver are the better version to play, the original still holds up really well. Still one of my favorite Pokemon games of the series.

[@Idkmanlemmeedit]

Obviously heart good and soul silver are better versions than one made nearly a decade ago!

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

@MistahBuss lol ikr, even the remakes are over a decade old

I never knew just how much crystal fixed/changed between gold and silver, I had assumed some of the stuff was fixes in HGSS like Kurt.

i love how the editing on this video is like she really searched for all of those sprites and animations and some are in png and i know the research itself is time.consuming but the editing , its full of effort and its so good and clean. u just earned a sub👏

How old are you in this video?! I just revisited this video and I didn't realize how different you sound in your latest ones! geez time flies lol

[@itzlqmer6084]

ye

[@DrRank]

Small note with the Odd Egg: the Japanese version of Crystal gives it a 50% chance of being shiny, but the egg itself is locked behind an event item.

[@SonicSammich]

I'd be pretty interested in regional changes

[@haruanki]

Another difference between Ho-oh and Lugia between Gold and Silver is that only the Lugia in Silver knows Aeroblast and only the Ho-oh in Gold will know Sacred Fire

[@CucasNerdyCorner]

Like in the Japanese version of Pokemon Crystal... the GS Ball event to catch Celebi and the whole cell phone connection thing

[@CucasNerdyCorner]

I know plus you can use a cheat device as well, but I think that consider a different type of video

Interesting video, I'd like to see more like this and learn of what changes were made when they came out with enhanced remakes like leaf green/fire red, soul silver/heart gold, and omega ruby/alpha sapphire. Keep it with the great videos. 👍🏻

[@GarStazer]

Yeah, please do regional changes. I wanna see how different we are from Japan. Keep it up!

[@1233arceus]

Almost 20 years later and I’m still heated about the fact they took out the mareep line

[@cypher838]

I feel that the 3rd versions should not make the other 2 feel obsolete. The best thing they could do is have a couple bells and whistles as well as making certain pokemon be easier or harder to catch in different areas

[@Technotoadnotafrog]

Differences between Crystal and Vietnamese Crystal: - Items, Pokemon, and moves are renamed. - Participating in the bug-catching contest (and a few other things) are likely to crash the game (save data is unaffected, to just save often and it won't be much of a problem). - Volcano Bakemeat.

[@imairwrecked3599]

Imagine extreme speed in Red and Blue; you’d be unstoppable do to crits being synced with speed stats.

[@BrendanGasparin]

Alright! I just caught a Timid Speed Boost Yanma on Route 35 in HGSS while watching CandyEvie's gen 1 and 2 difference videos! ✌

[@Dark_Jaguar]

For the longest time I had no idea why "crystal" was the better version of the metallics (gold/silver), until I looked into it. Many things people don't normally think of as "crystals" actually are, including many stones and metals. Gold and silver, as metals, are much more often found in their non-crystaline form. However an alloy of gold and silver, called electrum, does come in a crystalline form much more often though. Turns out the name is perfect. And speaking of Crystal, a quirk about Pokemon Stadium 2 is that it was released a bit before Crystal was finished, so it doesn't have Crystal moveset and location data, BUT it's set up to expect Crystal so when a copy is plugged in, the game updates itself with that data.

[@DareToBeDeviant]

Thanks for hosting this! I was in search of a visual comparison between the three and here you were. :) My Silver's battery died a long time ago, Crystal is still going strong (original battery, too!), and I replaced my Gold. Planning on using them and R/B/Y in a shadow box along with Nintendo's line of handheld consoles + printer. This was my childhood! ... and for once a Gameboy Pocket will be a part of something. Nobody seems to remember it was a thing. >.

I didn’t appreciate how wonderful this game was back when I played it. Now I realize it truly was a masterpiece that later games could not capture the magic of. You can tell just how much heart went into these games and the creators put their soul into making this as beautiful as possible.

Regional changes would be cool. Since Crystal had one, expect it's not really talked about and I even forget it sometimes. Which is the cellphone hooking up with a gameboy colour to get the GS ball so you can obtain celebi.

[@PrinzessinRamode]

Pokemon Crystal Japanese and International are completely different. Here are the change in the Japanese version: 1. GS Ball is obtainable to be used in the Ilex Forest Shrine. 2. The Pokemon Center in Goldenrod City is very large with a large machine in it. 3. You can trade your Pokemon over the Internet with a cellphone. This only worked with Japanese phone numbers if I remember right. You needed a special cable. The cellphone in the instructions looked like an old Nokia phone. 4. Beauties and swimmers had sprite changes. They were too sexual. 5. Glitches from USA Gold / Silver are present in Japanese Crystal. These are all the changes I noticed.

There’s also text differences for Professor Elm: In Silver and Gold there is no additional text after he gives you his number. But in Crystal he says “______, I’m counting on you”! After he tells you you can use his healing machine if your Pokémon is hurt.
