I absolutely adored this game growing up, and it will always have a special place in my heart.
I really wanted Pokémon Silver, but by the time I had saved my pocket money, Crystal released. I wish I could say thanks to the guy in the store for recommending it over Silver, he gave the best advice!

Today is the 25th anniversary of Pokémon Crystal Version, first released in Japan for the Game Boy Color on December 14, 2000!
It introduced animated battle sprites and Kris, the first female player character.

Ever since I purchased that one comic a few weeks back, I've been buying up cheap ones online. I'm now missing three:
Electric Tale of Pikachu (4)
Electric Pikachu Boogaloo (1 & 4)
Hopefully I'll get the others soon. Maybe I can trade these duplicate copies?

Update!
I am now just four cards away from completing this! I've been buying them occasionally and trying to find the best possible prices.
They're far from perfect condition, but they're mine and I am happy with them.
Just need Vileplume, Primeape, Tentacruel and Lapras!

For anyone who knows me, or has seen my messages here, I have wanted a Southern Islands collection for about 23 years. Yesterday I took the first step!
I purchased the empty binder, which came with its sleeve and the post cards. It's in great condition and only cost me £30!
