That's what I thought, but I believe someone on this very same forum corrected me once. Apparently Gold & Silver work on the original Game Boy, while Crystal is Game Boy Color exclusive.

Yeah, it's because Crystal uses the additional color palettes and RAM that the GBC has. I guess this also makes sense considering how people cite Iwata compressing Kanto so much that it fits onto the original GB cart alongside Johto without using the additional GBC cart space..
