Pokémon Crystal

Pokémon Crystal is an enhanced version of Pokémon Gold and Silver and a role-playing game played from a top-down perspective. As in the earlier versions, the player explores the Johto region, catches and trains Pokémon, and battles other Trainers in turn-based combat while earning Gym Badges and filling out the Pokédex. Crystal keeps the same core adventure while adding refinements, including the option to play as a female character and animated Pokémon sprites. It retains series staples such as a real-time clock, Pokémon breeding, and trading and battling with other games via a link connection. The player starts with Chikorita, Cyndaquil or Totodile. Suicune is the Legendary Pokémon on the cover, and the story follows the player's repeated encounters with it. The Battle Tower is a new area where the player battles a series of Trainers in a row. After the Johto Pokémon League, the player can visit Kanto and battle its Gym Leaders.
