[[spoiler: After clearing the Final Episode, however, Prof. Freonia is revealed to be [[BigBad the leader of the newly revealed Team Crystal]] and has been using the Pokémon Peace Squad and Team Rocket in order to acquire the data on Time Crystals, Mega Stones, and Chaos Emeralds needed for her plan to go into action, and that is to [[FrozenInTime freeze all of time in the past]] so that the Megime Empire will last forever! This is because [[TheReveal she has some connection to the Megime Empire]].]]

''Pokémon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze'' is the eighth entry in the ''DarthWiki/PokemonPeaceSquad'' series and is for the Nintendo Wii U. While the game plays similarly to most of the previous entries of the series, being a combination of both 3D and 2D gameplay and first-person and third-person perspectives, the main new features of the game are the addition of [[SuperMode Mega Evolution]], which allows one of the Pokémon used by the chosen character to become more powerful, and [[TimeTravel Time Crystals]], allowing them to explore stages in different time periods, allowing for a bit of a changeup as to how they deal with enemies and go through stages.

The story begins with the appearance of a gigantic ship/space station in the sky high above the [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Kalos region]], bringing with it several giant landmasses that anchor it down. While trying to figure out how to handle the situation at hand, Prof. Oak meets a scientist named Prof. Miranda Freonia who has come to Pokémon Peace Squad HQ in order to assist him on the matter, revealing that what has appeared over Kalos was once a civilization called the Megime Empire, based in various parts in the world, and had disappeared hundreds of years ago. In the wake of the emergence of the remnants of the Megime Empire, mysterious objects called Time Crystals, said to be linked to Mega Stones, have emerged. With their work cut out for them, the Pokémon Peace Squad sets out to Kalos in order to resolve the situation. Unbeknownst, in addition to prior villain teams that the Squad has faced, a new villainous organization called Team Crystal is also out to unlock the secrets of the Megime Empire for their own ends, giving them a new opponent to face…

One big difference that ''Pokémon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze'' has over its predecessors is that rather than playing each Episode one after another in a specific order, the majority of the game is divided into two sets of four Episodes each, with you able to choose which order to play them, the difficulty increasing with each episode cleared and also affecting stages in other Episodes. There's also looking for Mega Stones in each stage in order to allow one character to Mega Evolve one of their Pokémon, and using Team Crystals to travel to the past and through actions there, change some of a stage layout in the present, or even affect the stage on a greater scale on a higher difficulty.

[[folder: Main Tropes]]
----
!'''Tropes that apply to Pokémon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze:'''

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: After defeating the Crystal Absolution boss before Crystal Base Area 5, the chosen character picks up a weapon called the Chaos Blade, which is the only thing that can damage the crystalline enemies found in Crystal Base Area 5 and the Chaos Heart Boss afterward.]]
* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: [[spoiler: Crystal Base Area 4 (Freonia's Domain) has its second half devoted to chambers based on the last stages of each of the eight main Episodes. You must clear each one before fighting the Amalgam boss that emerges afterward.]]
* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: The Amalgam fought at the end of Crystal Base Area 4 happens to be a combination of the end-of-Episode boss craft from each of the normal eight episodes and using attacks from each of them.]]
* AmusementPark: [[spoiler: Cryogenic Night is [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog3 Carnival Night Zone]], except sinking in quicksnow due to Team Crystal having [[SlippySlideyIceWorld frozen over Angel Island]]. The infamous "Barrel of Doom" appears late in the stage, but due to being broken down is dealt with a single drop stomp.]]
* BadFuture: There's a difference to the time travel in this game's Expert and Master Modes, where instead of going between the past and present, you go through the past and future, except that the future for each stage looks bleak (example; throughout Tropic Factory, large bio-mechanical vines are choking the environment ([[spoiler: most likely due to Farlie having merged himself with the Flora Tower having not been undone]])). However, destroying the stage's Enemy Capsule in the past will give the stage a much better future (example, Computer City will have become a bright cyber utopia where digital roads twist throughout the area).
* BeneathTheEarth: [[spoiler: The final area of Crystal Base is located miles below the ocean bottom, with the stage beginning with a fall of several dozen meters into a crystalline WombLevel.]]
* BigBoosHaunt: Reverse Mansion is a red-color mansion with an occult theme to it, with pentagrams lining some of the walls and floors and ghost-based enemies that you have to get past. Ghostdashers send you to and from a mirror version of the stage that's upside-down.
* BigFancyCastle: Deep Stronghold is a huge castle that forms the core of the Vulcan Castle area, although the place is in shambles. There are fire-breathing Charizard statues, [[FallingChandelierOfDoom falling chandeliers]], [[ChandelierSwing some you swing across]], lava pools, a ceiling that tries to crush you, and a maze of dark rooms.
* BleakLevel:
** Flare Station has a dark atmosphere to it, mainly due to the sky station being located near and within a thundercloud. Its past version is just as foreboding.
** [[spoiler: Angel Island as whole has a grim feel to it due to the whole island having been frozen over by Team Crystal, which has thrown the island into disarray.]]
* BonusLevel: [[spoiler: Rainbow Secret as a whole is a surreal and abstract area unlocked after clearing the game, with its stages having a rainbow motif. You need to collect the Red Star Rings from various Episodes in order to [[DoubleUnlock unlock these stages]].]]
* BonusLevelOfHeaven: [[spoiler: Mystic Realm is an area of crystal formations in a [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Special Stage]]-like environment that you navigate in your Super form. You need to collect points in order to maintain your Super form while following Diancie and eventually [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere fight a strange boss called the Prism Globe]].]]
* BossRush: [[spoiler: The second half of Rocket Spire Area 5 involves having a rematch with the major bosses of each of the right main Episodes. The checkpoint upon entering the area saves which bosses you've defeated (unless you're playing on Expert or Master Mode).]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: At one point of the game, [[spoiler: Latias and Latios are captured by Team Rocket and are forced into their Mega form. You end up fighting them at the end of Mega Stone Plant. After Freonia's revealed to be the true BigBad of the game, Diancie, Mewtwo, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde end up being controlled by Team Crystal as part of Freonia's plan to freeze all of time.]]
* BuildLikeAnEgyptian: [[spoiler: Subzeropolis' second half takes place in the pyramid, now filled with Red Ice that you need to use Blue Fire to thaw. The Prison Egg that once held the ghosts is still around, but having already been opened long ago.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: Cristel, princess of the Megime Empire. She talks about wanting her kingdom to last forever. [[spoiler:Towards the end of the game, we learn that someone that looks a lot like her also desires this; Freonia, the older version of Cristel.]]
* ConstructionZoneCalamity:
** Pinball Paradise (Past) is similar to its Present stage, but under construction with skeletal buildings found throughout the city.
** [[spoiler: Chrome Highway (Past) has the entire city still under construction, with the highway being metal with many glass panes and lacking any vehicles.]]
* CrystalLandscape:
** Gemstar Dome as a whole is a massive area of giant crystals of various kinds and structures and also ruin-like structures, with spires and roadways of crystal as well as huge prismatic chambers.
** Red-Hot Ride mainly takes place inside large caverns lined with large crystals as well as blue-color lava pools and rivers found throughout.
** [[spoiler: Crystal Base Area 5 is a bizarre crystal area located miles beneath the Crystal Base that's filled with crystal enemies that only the Chaos Blade can damage. The stage is actually the shortest in the entire series.]]
* CyberSpace[=/=]TomorrowLand: Computer City as a whole is a huge futuristic city that's powered by computers and cyberspace, with buildings resembling motherboards and mainframes. Ribbon-like roads twist in various ways through the digital metropolis.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: When you thought Giovanni was once again the main force behind the events of the game, please remember that this game introduced a new villain group by the name of Team Crystal and that that title of this game is ''Crystal'' Freeze.]]
* DiscOneFinalDungeon: [[spoiler: Rocket Fortress gives off the feeling of being the final set of stages due to it being the supersized ship that is the focus of the game's story and would be the case if it weren't for Team Crystal hijacking the plot after Giovanni's defeat.]]
* DownTheDrain: [[spoiler: Hypothecity is a sewer-like area that involves a lot of tunnels heading downward and areas where you're pulled underwater as well as turbine tunnels.]]
* DugTooDeep: Magnet Mineway is a metallic mine filled with [[HollywoodMagnetism magnetic machinery]] of various kinds, such as circular tunnels you can move along the surface of 360 degrees, pathways on various surfaces that you use magnetism to navigate GravityScrew style, and an area with a magnetic flux that causes you to levitate in the air.

In addition, [[spoiler: Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon appear as part of Team Rocket's plan and Mega Rayquaza appears as part of Team Crystal's (all are only fought in Expert Mode)]].
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Aqua Zone (Past) is similar to its Present incarnation, except it's located in a series of caverns with some giant windows showing the ocean floor.
* EldritchLocation[=/=]WombLevel: [[spoiler: Crystal Base Area 5 is a crystalline take on these, being made of crystal that pulsates, with the walls constantly bulging as if they were made of flesh.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: A post-credits scene reveals a subtle one in the form of Giovanni having created the Chaos Blade and purposefully leaving it behind for the chosen character to use to stop Freonia.]]
* EternalEngine:
** Tropic Factory as a whole is this combined with JungleJapes, consisting of factories built by Team Rocket that Team Flora has taken over, with a bunch of machinery, transport tubes, and pools of Mega Mack strewn throughout.
** [[spoiler: Mega Stone Plant is a colossal underground factory where Team Rocket is mass producing artificial Mega Stones. The stage consists of hazards such as crushers, conveyor belts, giant saws, electric chemical pools, and more. The Past version of the stage is still under construction and lacking the Mega Stone lines and Mega Stone Generator.]]
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Team Crystal, the new villains in the game.
* FloatingContinent:
** Megime City is a spectacular domed city floating in the sky in the past. It ended up falling due to a major catastrophe 100 years ago, [[spoiler: which turns out to have been caused by Prof. Freonia in her attempts to save it]]. [[spoiler: In the present, Team Rocket found its ruins and transformed it into the Rocket Fortress.]]
** Sky Gardens as a whole is a colossal relic floating high in the sky due to numerous Time Crystals keeping it aloft. While the ruins are normally floating, the Critical Skyfall level involves quickly making your way across a part of them that are in the middle of falling.
* FrozenInTime: [[spoiler: Freonia's plan is to freeze time in the past so that the Megime Empire can begin anew and last forever. Of course, this will mean the [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt end of time]] if she succeeds.]]
* FungusHumongous: [[spoiler: Mushroom Tundra, which is a [[SlippySlideyIceWorld frozen over]] Mushroom Hill, is a forest with tons of gigantic mushrooms, some of which you bounce on, and also giant damaging snowflakes that float in the air. The rail grinding section borrowed from ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' now has giant icicles that you have to dodge.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: After acquiring them, Team Crystal merges Metal Sonic and [=MechaMew2=] together into Mechetal [=SonicTwo=], who serves as the FinalBoss of the game.]]
* FuturisticSuperhighway: [[spoiler: Chrome Highway is a large energy-road based highway making its way through the Rocket Fortress area. You'll go along the highway, through tunnels, on transparent colored platforms above the highway, and drive along the highway. There are also large gaps along the highway you need to be weary of.]]
* GreenHillZone: Verdant Generator is town consisting of both nature and cybernetics, where Team Plasma is [[WeirdWeather messing with the park's weather system]]. The Past version of the stage lacks the cybernetics on the trees and environment.
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere:
** Magma Tower is a metallic tower filled with lava and at times pipes where you'll make your way upward while sinking the tower area by area. [[spoiler: At one point, Tabitha sinks the part of the tower you're in, [[RiseToTheChallenge forcing you to quickly make your way up]].]]
** [[spoiler: Rocket Spire is an extremely tall tower found in the center of Rocket Fortress that pierces the clouds in the sky, with the Mega Satellite located at the top. The stage itself consists of five areas as you ascend the gigantic structure.]]
* HornetHole:
** Honeycomb Cavern is a stage located in a giant beehive populated by Beedrill, Combee, and Vespiquen with hazards such as honey puddles you'll get stuck in, platforms moving down honey spills, and both honey walls and moving Combee walls to climb.
** Frozen Hive is basically a "Honeycomb Cavern Act 2" taking place inside a [[SlippySlideyIceWorld frozen]] beehive with frozen honey puddles as well as pools of gel-like frigid honey and quicksnow in addition to other gimmicks like Combee walls.
* JungleJapes:
** Tropic Factory as a whole is this plus EternalEngine, being giant factories located in the jungle, with hazards such as conveyor belts, sawblades, large tubes, and Mega Mack pools intertwining with the natural plant-life.
** [[spoiler: Arctic Island, which is Angel Island [[SlippySlideyIceWorld frozen over]], is a jungle environment where all of the waterfalls and most of the water is frozen solid. The same switch used to drain the water originally is used again, through with the water this time lethally cold.]]
