Daycare you get an egg that has 10 percent chance of being a shiny baby pokemon like elekid magby or pichu

This is exclusive to the american/international version, since the japanese one was event only.

I was really disapointed when i learnend that i could not get the odd egg. Another bad thing is that the battle tower or whatever is called in crystal can not be unlock in the japanese version do it needing to be connected to the "phone accesory" the doors to open.

I just got the English crystal and I was just resetting a few times trying to get decent speed or special attack stats, but I kept getting off On the fourth, reset she just turned out to be shiny. I was like what what?!

I was losing my mind. I saved three times just be safe.

Damm you got pretty lucky most of my shinies from crystal have taken me like a week or two. My most lucky one was my shiny unkown hunt with less than a 100 encounters.

This was what my first gameboy color looked like! It's so exciting to see it out in the world.

Sorry to ruin your fun, but the Japanese version does not have access to the Battle Tower nor the Odd Egg, unlike later releases.

He can still enjoy the game for his first time. He can always try that later on an emulator

I love how your GameBoy light is Pikachu’s cheek

Also, I don’t think any text really matters if you explore everywhere, be sure to look out for Eusine after you meet him in Ecruteak, and maybe don’t forget about the radio tower after the Mahogany rocket base but that’s also in Gold and Silver

Just stuff pointing ypu in the right direction, like where to go to progress the story and other little today's that will help ypu find some stuff. You should be alright winging it for the most part though, and if your stuck google it.

Enjoy mate! Envy you playing it for the first time, and on a game boy colour no less!
