Nintendo has announced that Pokémon Crystal on January 26th, 2018 is coming to the Nintendo 3DS. Earlier Pokémon Gold and Silver came as Virtual Console titles, but with Pokémon Crystal here it is now possible to relive the entire second generation on the 3DS.

Pokémon Crystal will from day one be compatible with Pokémon Bank. You can thus transfer your Pokémon to the latest Pokémon games. For collectors, there is also a physical version. This is a set just like Pokémon Gold and Silver and includes a download code for Pokémon Crystal.
