The most notable addition of the Virtual Console titles are the inclusion of Wireless Battle & Trade features. When you go to the Cable Club in each Pokémon Center, the game will run as normal but will activate a Virtual Console feature that will ask you to search for or join another player's game. From there, the general Cable Club features continue as normal. However, if you break the wireless connection, the features will end. This method can connect to Pokémon Green, Red, Blue, Yellow as well as Gold, Silver & Crystal |

A change exclusive to Pokémon Crystal in Japan is the alteration of the sprite for the Pokémon Jynx. Back in the early 2000s, Jynx had a redesign with its face being changed from black to purple and while the international versions of the games had made the change, the Japanese version stayed with the original sprite. However, the Virtual Console release has altered Jynx's sprite to match that of the international version
