I've always believed Crystal to be in my personal top 5 best games of all time, and watching this in comparison to the red run it's really easy to see why. I don't think I've ever been as blown away by a game as I was with Crystal when it came out. Color graphics, day-night cycles, twice as long as red, that incredible, incredible music and world style, awesome new Pokemon designs, a more fleshed out story... Man, I know it's the nostalgia glasses and my age and experience with games At the time had a lot to do with it, but I see no way I could ever have as much fun with a game again.
Aaaaand back to watching the grind.
