Originally released for the Game Boy Color system in 2000, the Pokémon Crystal game added several new features to the Pokémon franchise. For the first time, players could choose a female or male character, and Pokémon battles featured animation. And now, this game is available in 2D via the Virtual Console service and invites you to explore the Johto region again—or for the first time. Pokémon Crystal Version is now available in the Virtual Console service on Nintendo 3DS via the Nintendo eShop. Players have the chance to encounter the Mythical Pokémon Celebi in an event after completing the main adventure. To learn more about how this can be accomplished, check out the image above.
