** The developers re-created the Silph Co. building, now home to a new challenge that involved beating 100 increasingly powerful Trainers (similar to Mt. Battle in ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonXD''). The reward for completing said challenge, which took the Voices no less than 12 hours, was a choice between an encounter with either Raikou or Suicune, or an item. They ended up picking up the item... which turned out to be a set of 5 Master Balls, which they were already able to obtain a virtually unlimited amount of through a certain LoopholeAbuse, rendering them completely pointless.

* SpiritualSequel: ''Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal'' is pretty much a follow-up to ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow'', using the same "chatty" system that replaces all dialogue with Markov chains composed of chat messages, having a starter whose trademark attack has its effect influenced by emotes, and even featuring Chatot as a central character, with the one obtainable in-game having the same abilities as the ''Chatty Yellow'' stater.

''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Game Boy Color (up, down, left, right, A, B, start, and select) are entered into a chat on Website/{{Twitch}}, and then translated into a game of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' via an IRC bot.

''Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal'' is the first run of Season 8, aka the seventh anniversary run, and the fiftieth main run overall. It began on February 14th, 2021 and ended on March 8th, 2021. Similar to ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' before it, it features a hack of ''VideoGame/PokemonCrystal'' in which all non-plot dialogue is replaced with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain Markov chains]] generated from chat messages, leading once more to an absolute slew of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copypasta copypastas]] in the chat that resulted in [[MindScrew completely nonsensical dialogue all over the place]].
This time, rather than a Chatot, KKKB received an Unown as her starter, named [=PPPPss=]. Like a regular Unown, it only knew the move Hidden Power; ''unlike'' a regular Unown, its Hidden Power did not change type based on [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hidden_Power_(move) DV-based calculations]] but rather based on which [[{{Emoticon}} emote]] was currently the most present in the chat, and its base power increased depending on [[CombinedEnergyAttack the current speed of the chat]]. Later on, she also received a Chatot named [[MythologyGag KENYA]] from an NPC, with a Chatter attack that worked identically to the one from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' by triggering specific moves associated the [[{{Emoticon}} emote]] most present in the chat, albeit with a revamped move list.
''Chatty Crystal'' also holds the honor of being the [[MilestoneCelebration 50th main run]] of ''TPP''; to celebrate, not only were a great number of Pokémon from later generations added to the game, but many, ''many'' [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo previous player characters]] made an appearance. KKKB had no less than [[TheRival three rivals]], namely AJDNNW from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal Crystal]]'', BABA from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal Vietnamese Crystal]]'', and EVAN from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', plus recurrent encounters with ×ᴹɴ(? from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' who took the role of Eusine (chasing [[MemeticLoser Entei]] rather than Suicune), and every Gym Leader and League member along with various other characters were replaced with characters from ''TPP''[='s=] past, for a total of 36 previous Hosts appearing.

----
!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal'' contains examples of:
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Brought over from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' is a mechanic that automatically switches to the next PC box upon saving if the current one is full, rather than having to go to a PC and manually switch it.
* AppleOfDiscord: As soon as Eevee was obtained, it ''immediately'' caused disagreements among the Voices. Some wanted to release it right away to make sure it wouldn't end up on the team, others wanted to leave it in the Daycare to prevent any accidental releases from happening, others still were fine with getting rid of it but wanted to evolve it first to register Glaceon in the Pokédex and get badges to drop, and finally some actually wished to keep it on the team (either genuinely or out of spite towards the first group). It was eventually deposited in the PC only 20 minutes after obtaining it, along with the ''entire team'' bar from Unown and Chatot.
* AscendedGlitch: Kind of. There is a glitch in the [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Generation II games]] that makes it so that if the player crosses a map warp by entering the surfing state, the warp will not actually trigger. It is actually impossible to trigger this glitch in the base games as the maps are [[DevelopersForesight deliberately designed in a way that prevents it from happening]], but it can be an issue that [[GameMod romhacks]] may run into. In ''Chatty Crystal'', there is a small piece of land south of Pallet Town where said glitch can be intentionally triggered, allowing access to a patch of grass in which Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Mew can be caught.
* AscendedMeme:
** The starter Pokémon being an Unown that draws its power form the chat is a nod to the Voices being frequently depicted as such in fanworks.
** Entei being the plot-centric Legendary Beast rather than Suicune is a reference to its status as a MemeticLoser among the community. Appropriately enough, it went down in a single hit before KKKB had a chance to catch it. [[invoked]]
* BossRush: The Trainer on top of Mt. Silver was, surprisingly, Red with his original team from ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver''. Beating him opened the door to the Silver Cave, in which every Host from a previous anniversary proceeded to show up: RED from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed'', AIIIAAB from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRedAnniversary Red Anniversary]]'', EVAN from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', [=×ᴹɴ(?=] from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'', ((( and XXWWNNᴾₖ from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonDualRedAndBlue Dual Red & Blue]]'' (fought one after the other), KAY from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBurningRed Burning Red]]'', and RED from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletRed Gauntlet Red]]''. Then, the final room featured one last battle against Azure, the rival from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' using her team from the final battle of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPyrite Pyrite]]'', and finally an encounter against the elusive Phancero from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism Pokémon Prism]]''.
* CombinedEnergyAttack: [=PPPPss=]' Hidden Power attack increases in power the faster the chat goes, encouraging viewers to spam as much as possible when using it.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletBlack2 ♀♀R]] was fought early on in the run (with a low level team of unremarkable Pokémon), and was notably the only character to neither be a recurring character nor a Gym Leader, instead taking the place of Sage Li, the elder fought at the top of Sprout Tower. Much, much later, he appeared once more as member of the Elite 4, using his much higher-leveled Hall of Fame team.
** This was actually an unintentional example, as some of the Hosts had to be re-assigned late into development. ♀♀R was placed in Sprout Tower to replace A from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald Emerald]]'' in order to increase the number of characters from later generations, but the developers forgot to check if he was already used elsewhere in the game.
* GameBreakingBug: [[invoked]]
** Early during the run, one of the Sages in Sprout Tower caused the game to freeze with a loud buzzing noise. Despite several resets, said battle kept breaking the game. The game was then manually saved and completely reset by the stream host, but as inputs resumed, a textbox containing a long string of question marks immediately popped up, followed by an error screen. After another reset (which had the amusing side-effect of [[GoodBadBugs dropping Unown and Zigzagoon badges again]]), and another crash against the same opponent, the question marks textbox appeared again, followed by this [[https://i.imgur.com/O2tTbD1.png monstruosity of a screen]]. The issue was finally identified as an AI code change calling the wrong data, and said Sage was finally able to be battled. [[EpicFail And KKKB lost to him.]] [[invoked]]
** On Day 3, the Voices noticed that VVVVVV, the Turtwig that they left in the Daycare, had somehow turned into [[GlitchEntity a glitchy, pixelated square]], and talking to it caused [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ResilientInnocentTrayDxCat-d8nHav2px0SjSfGj an overly long and mostly silent cry to play]] ; this was due to a programming oversight that caused the conversion table to get flooded when consulting the Pokédex, deleting Turtwig's species identifier. The Voices' reaction was to ''immediately'' retrieve it and attempt to send it into battle, which [[TooDumbToLive to the surprise of no one]] caused the game to freeze.
---> '''m4_used_rollout:''' chat I want you to sit and think about what you've done
** Inside the Silph Co. building, one of the opponents had its lines of dialogue replaced by a string of question marks, which stayed on screen for a few seconds before the textbox filled with garbage text then crashed back to the title screen, which can be seen [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ModernAuspiciousMartenPoooound-iOpqP9RUC4mkch96 in this clip]].
* GlitchEntity: After being left in the Daycare, VVVVVV the Turtwig turned into a glitchy pixelated square with an overly long and mostly silent cry that caused the music to get distorted. After it was retrieved, the overlay wasn't able to properly display its sprite, and it froze the game upon being sent into battle. This was the result of a programming oversight that caused the species conversion table to get flooded when scrolling through the Pokédex, thus deleting Turtwig's species identifier.
* GoodBadBugs: The Voices found out that, due to a programming oversight, scrolling through the Pokédex somehow made the in-game date change, and exploited this fact in order to raise Buneary's friendship level by getting multiple haircuts in a row from the Haircut Brothers, which are usually limited to one per day. [[invoked]]
* LegacyBossBattle:
** The Pokémon League PC from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRedAnniversary Red Anniversary]]'' and ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' can be found once more inside the Battle Tent; just like in those games, it allows KKKB to battle against her own team.
** Azure, the rival from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' who also served as the final boss of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPyrite Pyrite]]'', is the final opponent fought inside the Silver Cave. She uses her team from ''Pyrite'', namely Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lapras, Snorlax, and Mew.
** Phancero appeared for the third time after its original appearance in ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism Prism]]'' and its return in the secret area of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBurningRed Burning Red]]'', this time as the eleventh and final opponent of the Silver Cave, which is also the place where he was seen for the first time in ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' before flying away.
* LoopholeAbuse: The Battle Tent PC in Celadon City allows KKKB to battle against a team of Pokémon identical to her own, with the same stats, the same moves, and more importantly the same held items. Her Skuntank just so happens to know the move Thief, which can [[VideoGameStealing permanently steal an opponent's item]]; the Voices eventually realized that they could exploit this to create infinite duplicates of unique items (the Leftovers, the Focus Band, and ''especially'' the Master Ball) by making KKKB's Pokémon hold them then stealing them from the PC's team. There ''is'' however a risk involved that the League PC's Skuntank may do the same, which would result in [[BanditMook a permanent loss of the item]].
* LuckBasedMission: The final boss battle was against MARINA from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonMetronomeSapphire''. True to her game of origin, her entire team was only able to use the move [[RandomEffectSpell Metronome]]. However, KKKB's team was ''also'' only allowed to use Metronome during this battle, turning it into a complete game of chance.
--> '''MARINA:''' Oh, a battle? Very well. But on my terms.
* MythologyGag:
** KKKB arrived to the Pokémon Laboratory after all three starter Pokémon had already been chosen, mirroring what happened to Ash in the first episode of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''.
** A Chatot similar to the one from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' was eventually received, from the NPC who normally gives the player a Spearrow named "KENYA". ''TPP'' has had a bit of history with KENYA, first when it was randomized into an overpowered Groudon during ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonHeartGold'', and then when it was changed to a Hoothoot that made it all the way to the Hall of Fame in ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary''.
** When facing BABA from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal Vietnamese Crystal]]'', LARRY from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBootlegGreen Bootleg Green]]'', and URF from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonLightningSapphire Lightning Sapphire]]'', which were [[TranslationTrainWreck infamously terrible unofficial translations]] of ''Pokémon Crystal'', ''Pokémon Green'', and ''Pokémon Sapphire'' respectively, some of the the in-game battle dialogue actually changed to match said translations, even using the same mistranslated attack names.
---> '''When facing BABA:''' EN'SBEST FLAME ![[labelnote:Translation]]Enemy BEST used Flamethrower![[/labelnote]]
---> '''When facing LARRY:''' FOE WEEB'S SNOWSTORM![[labelnote:Translation]]Enemy WEEB used Blizzard![[/labelnote]]
---> '''When facing URF:''' [=EnemyWAHCurren=]![[labelnote:Translation]]Enemy WAH used Absorb![[/labelnote]]
** Y appeared as the Gym Leader of the Ice-themed Gym of Mahogany Town, a nod to the winter-theme of the overworld of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonFusedCrystal Fused Crystal]]''.
** The 100th and last opponent of the Silph Co. building is Cal, the default Trainer found in the Trainer House of ''VideoGame/PokemonCrystal''.
* NonstandardSkillLearning: Similarly to ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'', not all emotes are initially taken in account when determining which type is attributed to Hidden Power and which move is triggered by Chatter; more emotes are gradually unlocked by obtaining specific badges. A list of all emote effects can be found [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RX4TE52Qw6MmchlgtLy58buUfbl8LLMXyHbhM7iugT8/ here]].
* NostalgiaLevel: Multiple levels were recreated or brought back from either previous ''TPP'' hacks or games previously featured on ''TPP''.
** Returning locations from previous anniversary hacks were the Battle Tent from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRedAnniversary Red Anniversary]]'' and ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', and the Silver Cave ruins from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]''.
** The Pokémon Tower and Safari Zone were brought back from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', although the latter had no entrance fee and used normal catching mechanics. The Rocket Hidout in Celadon City was also brought back, now abandoned aside from [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBootlegGreen LARRY]] and [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo GMMTMT]] making an appearance.
** The Trick House from ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' was recreated in the game, taking the place of Trainer House in Viridian City; the third and sixth puzzle were however omitted, due to the technical limitations of Generation II. The Seafloor Cavern, also from ''Ruby and Sapphire'', was also included, as the "Dream" location accessible by checking Red's bed in Pallet Town.
** The Silph Co. building is a peculiar case; while the location itself originated in ''Red and Blue'', its recreation in ''Chatty Crystal'' is functionally closer to Mt. Battle from ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness XD]]'', letting players battle against 10 floors of 10 opponents in a row each.
* NPCRoadblock: Because the run started before development of the hack was actually finalized, access to unfinished areas was blocked off by the devs placing a Snorlax in the middle of the path. Talking to any of them prompted a dialogue about how it was "tieing its shoes", forcing players to wait until it was done; this earned them the affectionate nickname of "Shoelaxes".
** The door of the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island and of the Trainer House in Viridian City were not blocked by a Snorlax, but simply by an old man, who claimed there was a "[[RunningGag Snorlax shoe convention]]" happening inside.
* ObviousRulePatch:
** The KAPOW emote was initially unlocked from the start, but was eventually locked behind the 13th badge when [[SuicideAttack Explosion]], which it made Chatter trigger, turned out to be much too powerful, essentially taking out any opponent's strongest Pokémon in one hit.
** On the first attempt made to catch it, Ho-Oh immediately ended the battle by using Whirlwind. It was removed from its moveset on the next attempt.
* OneSteveLimit:
** Averted with "KENYA", which is the name of both KKKB's Chatot, aoooo's Groudon, and EVAN's Noctowl, due to them both having been given out by the same NPC in their respective run of origin.
** Also averted with [[OneLetterName A]] from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald'' and [[OneLetterName A]] from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonFireRed'' both being present in the game, as a member of the Elite 4 and a Gym Leader respectively.
** Doubly averted when the Silver Cave featured no less than ''three'' different characters name RED: the canon one from ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'', the one from the original ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed'', and the one from the ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletRed Gauntlet Red]]'' run.
* OptionalBoss: Due to Sprout Tower actually being entirely optional in ''Crystal'', the chat initially skipped the battles against [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal BABA]] and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletBlack2 ♀♀R]] located there, before eventually going back to Violet City for them.
* PlotArmor: Since they are a central gimmick of this run, Unown and Chatot cannot be deposited, released, or left in the Daycare.
* PrecisionFStrike: When entering the room containing the Electrode-powered machine in the Rocket Hideout, [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism Cyan]]'s reaction was "ffs". Made doubly funny by the fact that lore usually depicts her as TheCutie.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: No less than 36 different previous characters appeared during the course of the run, most of them taking the place of major [=NPCs=] from the original game.
** EVAN from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' was the first of KKKB's rivals, using the Grass-type starter Bulbasaur, and was fought in Cherrygrove City[[labelnote:*]]ul:::utx (Bulbasaur)[[/labelnote]], on Route 42[[labelnote:*]]QH (Omanyte), KJJKLLLLLL (Venonat), [=BCCCCCCuB?=] (Spinarak), KENYA (Noctowl), ul:::utx (Venusaur)[[/labelnote]], on the Ice Path[[labelnote:*]]KENYA (Noctowl), JHH (Aerodactyl), ul:::utx (Venusaur), !L (Miltank), [=---sxjxKKK=] (Seadra), FOX,/!!!)u (Jolteon)[[/labelnote]], inside the Pokémon Tower[[labelnote:*]]JHH (Aerodactyl), FOX,/!!!)u (Jolteon), [=---sxjxKKK=] (Seadra), !L (Miltank), KENYA (Noctowl), ul:::utx (Venusaur)[[/labelnote]], and at the Indigo Plateau[[labelnote:*]]FOX,/!!!)u (Jolteon), JHH (Aerodactyl), [=---sxjxKKK=] (Kingdra), !L (Miltank), KENYA (Noctowl), ul:::utx (Venusaur)[[/labelnote]].
** BABA from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal Vietnamese Crystal]]'' was the second rival, using the Fire-type starter Cyndaquil, and was fought inside Sprout Tower[[labelnote:*]]BEST (Cyndaquil), ORGY (Poliwag), EVER (Pidgey)[[/labelnote]], the Burned Tower[[labelnote:*]]BEST (Quilava), ORGY (Poliwag), EVER (Pidgey), FAKE (Sudowoodo)[[/labelnote]], the Rocket Hideout[[labelnote:*]]BEST (Typhlosion), EVER (Pidgey), GAY (Tentacruel), DADA (Gyarados), FAKE (Sudowoodo), ORGY (Poliwag)[[/labelnote]], and Mt.

** AJDNNW from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal Crystal]]'' was the third rival, using the Water-type starter Totodile, and was fought in Azalea City[[labelnote:*]]TOGEPI (Togepi), OXXOZZ-: (Caterpie), TOTODILE (Totodile), PIDGEY (Pidgey), Adiiiiihhh (Sentret), WOOPER (Wooper)[[/labelnote]], inside the Radio Tower[[labelnote:*]]SHUCKIE (Shuckle, HOOTHOOT (Hoothoot), BBBBBD (Pidgeot), [=AAAAAtttta=] (Feraligatr), KT (Dratini), [=AAAS RJ-I=] (Espeon)[[/labelnote]], in Olivine City[[labelnote:*]]WWWEEE (Koffing), FERALIGATR (Feraligatr), OXXOZZ-: (Metapod), EEVEE (Eevee), TOGEPI (Togepi), ABBBDDDDDD (Ratticate)[[/labelnote]], and on Victory Road[[labelnote:*]][=AAAS RJ-I=] (Espeon), BBBBBD (Pidgeot), [=KT =] (Dragonair), A (Ratticate), AAJRR RRR (Steelix), [=AAAAAtttta=] (Feraligatr)[[/labelnote]].
** [=×ᴹɴ(?=] from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' took over the role of Eusine from the original game, and was therefore met and battled inside the Burned Tower[[labelnote:*]]RATTATA (Rattata), AAAIIIIIIᴾₖ (Nidoran♀), [=IIAAAIig--=] (Chatot), AJᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴾₖᴾₖᴾₖ (Pikachu), MAGIKARP (Magikarp), RJKKCCCDDF (Bulbasaur)[[/labelnote]], Cianwood City[[labelnote:*]]XACC (Jigglypuff), AJᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴾₖᴾₖᴾₖ (Pikachu), IGGGGGGFCC (Diglett), RJKKCCCDDF (Bulbasaur), MAGIKARP (Magikarp), [=IIAAAIig--=] (Chatot)[[/labelnote]], the Tin Tower Barrier Station[[labelnote:*]]IAS (Raichu), [=AAAAAAaaaa=] (Chatot), IZZZZZZZQ (Jigglypuff), [=-SJJJJ× ᴹɴ(=] (Venusaur), AJJTUUUUU (Gyarados), IGGGGGGFCC (Dugtrio)[[/labelnote]], and the Celadon Pokémon Center[[labelnote:*]][=-SJJJJ× ᴹɴ(=] (Venusaur), IGGGGGGFCC (Dugtrio), IAS (Raichu), [=AAAAAAaaaa=] (Chatot), AJJJTUUUUU (Gyarados), IZZZZZZZZQ (Wigglytuff)[[/labelnote]].
** Sage Li, the NPC battled on top of Sprout Tower in the base games, was replaced by ♀♀R from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletBlack2 Gauntlet Black 2]]''[[labelnote:*]]aaaaaaakw (Meowth), [=Lotad00 R=] (Lotad), Hoothootww (Hoothoot), Swinub (Swinub), Tyrogue (Tyrogue)[[/labelnote]].

** Checking the bed in Pallet Town after obtaining the Diploma transported KKKB to Hoenn's Seafloor Cavern, at the bottom of which resided the final opponent of the run: MARINA from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonMetronomeSapphire Metronome Sapphire]]''[[labelnote:*]]VVOOOOOOIC (Venusaur), MMMMMMMMGG (Mew), JJJJJJJJJJ (Scizor), IIHBAAAMMM (Gengar), AAAAAAAAAA (Slowking), KENNNNNNNN (Groudon)[[/labelnote]], who challenged KKKB to a battle in which both sides were only allowed to use the move [[RandomEffectSpell Metronome]].
* RecurringBoss:
** KKKB had [[TheRival three different rivals]], all based on characters from previous runs and fought at multiple points of the game. [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal AJDNNW]] was battled in Azalea City, in Olivine City, and on Victory Road, [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal BABA]] in the Sprout Tower, the Burned Tower, the Rocket Hideout, and Mt. Moon, and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary EVAN]] in Cherrygrove City, on Route 42, on the Ice Path, in the Pokémon Tower, at the Indigo Plateau, and inside the Silver Cave.
** Aside from the three rivals, [=×ᴹɴ(?=] took the place of Eusine from the original ''Crystal'', and as such was encountered and battled inside the Burned Tower, north of Cianwood City, inside the Tin Tower Barrier Station, at the Celadon City Pokémon Center, and inside the Silver Cave.
** Of all the previous Hosts featured as Team Rocket members, [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonTriHardEmerald F48]] and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBootlegGreen Larry]] are tied for being the ones faced most often. F48 was found inside the Slowpoke Well, the Rocket Hideout, and the Radio Tower, while Larry was fought in the Rocket Hideout, the Radio Tower, and once more in the Rocket Hideout after it was abandoned.
* TheRival: KKKB had three different rivals, all based on previous ''TPP'' protagonists and encountered at various points of the game: AJDNNW from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal'', using the Water-type starter Totodile, BABA from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal'', using the Fire-type starter Cyndaquil, and EVAN from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary'', using the Grass-type starter Bulbasaur.
* RunningGag: Whenever players tried to access an area that the developers hadn't yet finalized, the path was temporarily blocked by a Snorlax; talking to it prompted a line of dialogue about how it was "tieing its shoes". Later, the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island and the Trainer House in Viridian City had their doors blocked by an old man, claiming that there was a "Snorlax shoe convention" happening inside.
* SequenceBreaking:
** {{Discussed|Trope}} with a plan to get to the Indigo Plateau early in spite of the fact that ''Chatty Crystal'' requires [[GottaCatchEmAll all sixteen badges]] to be acquired first. While the HM for Waterfall was removed from its normal location in order to make the Tohjo Falls impossible to pass through, players thought they could circumvent this by getting a Seaking, which learns Waterfall naturally by leveling up. While some time was spent looking for one, this plan was never actually put into action.
** While it was intended for Kanto to be explored right after Johto, the developers ran late and couldn't get it ready in time. As a result, they temporarily blocked off access to the S.S. Anne by placing a Snorlax on the docks of Olivine City until development was far enough for KKKB to continue her journey. Players simply decided to surf ''around'' the Snorlax to talk to the NPC behind it, which triggered a walk cycle to get to the boat that made KKKB walk ''right through the Snorlax'' and successfully embark on the boat to Kanto, before the developers intervened and sent her back.
* SeriesContinuityError:
** DADA, the red Gyarados from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal Vietnamese Crystal]]'', did not appear shiny when it was first faced because one of the devs gave it the wrong DV values.
** Some of the Pokémon nicknames don't match with the run they originated from, such as [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonTriHardEmerald F48]]'s Manectric being named "[=b syro .9=]" instead of "[=b syro .g=]", or [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonXG Stars]]' Blaziken being named "ABBBBBBBBQ" instead of "ABBBBBBBQ". More ostensibly, Stars' Salamence was named "BCCMMW", which was actually the name of his Metagross.
* SpiritualSequel: ''Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal'' is pretty much a follow-up to ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow'', using the same "chatty" system that replaces all dialogue with Markov chains composed of chat messages, having a starter whose trademark attack has its effect influenced by emotes, and even featuring Chatot as a central character, with the one obtainable in-game having the same abilities as the ''Chatty Yellow'' stater.
* StealthPun: [=tppPika=], an emote representing Pikachu stifling its laughter, turns Hidden Power into a Grass-type move, rather than an Electric-type move. This is alluding to the kanji 草, which means "grass" but is also Internet slang for stifled laughter, due to the kanji w, aka the kanji equivalent of "LOL", looking like blades of grass when repeated multiple times.
* SuicideAttack: The [=SSSsss=] and [=PermaSmug=] emotes cause Chatter to turn into Self-Destruct, while the KAPOW emote causes it to become Explosion.
* TrollingCreator: [[invoked]]
** The Jebaited emote, which is typically used to signify that a streamer has been tricked by their audience or vice-versa, was only [[NonstandardSkillLearning unlocked]] after earning the 16th and final badge. The chat was then finally able to use it and see the move it turned Chatter into... and it turned out to be [[UselessItem Splash]].
** The developers re-created the Silph Co. building, now home to a new challenge that involved beating 100 increasingly powerful Trainers (similar to Mt. Battle in ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonXD''). The reward for completing said challenge, which took the Voices no less than 12 hours, was a choice between an encounter with either Raikou or Suicune, or an item. They ended up picking up the item... which turned out to be a set of 5 Master Balls, which they were already able to obtain a virtually unlimited amount of through a certain LoopholeAbuse, rendering them completely pointless.
---> '''asdf14396:''' all i'm going to say is that you get a choice of rewards at the end
---> '''asdf14396:''' choose wisely
** Right under the ladder leading to the final room of the Silver Cave was a ledge, clearly placed there to make the simple act of getting to the ladder more difficult than it needed to be.
* TheUnintelligible: The Marhov-chain system turns ''everyone'' into this, with the quasi-entirety of the game's dialogue becoming a nonsensical amalgamation of various unrelated and out-of-context sentences.

-->-- '''Ennard-is-A-NERD''', "Pokémon Chatty Crystal Discussion Thread" on the ''TPP'' subreddit
''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Game Boy Color (up, down, left, right, A, B, start, and select) are entered into a chat on Website/{{Twitch}}, and then translated into a game of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' via an IRC bot. In short, [[HilarityEnsues hundreds of people are fighting over a controller]]. Throughout its life, ''Twitch Plays Pokémon'' has spawned hilarious characters, memorable moments, and even a few religions.
''Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal'' is the first run of Season 8, aka the seventh anniversary run, and the fiftieth main run overall. It began on February 14th, 2021 and ended on March 8th, 2021. Similar to ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' before it, it features a hack of ''VideoGame/PokemonCrystal'' in which all non-plot dialogue is replaced with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain Markov chains]] generated from chat messages, leading once more to an absolute slew of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copypasta copypastas]] in the chat that resulted in [[MindScrew completely nonsensical dialogue all over the place]].
This time, rather than a Chatot, KKKB received an Unown as her starter, named [=PPPPss=]. Like a regular Unown, it only knew the move Hidden Power; ''unlike'' a regular Unown, its Hidden Power did not change type based on [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hidden_Power_(move) DV-based calculations]] but rather based on which [[{{Emoticon}} emote]] was currently the most present in the chat, and its base power increased depending on [[CombinedEnergyAttack the current speed of the chat]]. Later on, she also received a Chatot named [[MythologyGag KENYA]] from an NPC, with a Chatter attack that worked identically to the one from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' by triggering specific moves associated the [[{{Emoticon}} emote]] most present in the chat, albeit with a revamped move list.
''Chatty Crystal'' also holds the honor of being the [[MilestoneCelebration 50th main run]] of ''TPP''; to celebrate, not only were a great number of Pokémon from later generations added to the game, but many, ''many'' [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo previous player characters]] made an appearance. KKKB had no less than [[TheRival three rivals]], namely AJDNNW from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal Crystal]]'', BABA from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal Vietnamese Crystal]]'', and EVAN from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', plus recurrent encounters with ×ᴹɴ(? from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' who took the role of Eusine (chasing [[MemeticLoser Entei]] rather than Suicune), and every Gym Leader and League member along with various other characters were replaced with characters from ''TPP''[='s=] past, for a total of 36 previous Hosts appearing.

!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal'' contains examples of:
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Brought over from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' is a mechanic that automatically switches to the next PC box upon saving if the current one is full, rather than having to go to a PC and manually switch it.
* AppleOfDiscord: As soon as Eevee was obtained, it ''immediately'' caused disagreements among the Voices. Some wanted to release it right away to make sure it wouldn't end up on the team, others wanted to leave it in the Daycare to prevent any accidental releases from happening, others still were fine with getting rid of it but wanted to evolve it first to register Glaceon in the Pokédex and get badges to drop, and finally some actually wished to keep it on the team (either genuinely or out of spite towards the first group). It was eventually deposited in the PC only 20 minutes after obtaining it, along with the ''entire team'' bar from Unown and Chatot.
* AscendedGlitch: Kind of. There is a glitch in the [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Generation II games]] that makes it so that if the player crosses a map warp by entering the surfing state, the warp will not actually trigger. It is actually impossible to trigger this glitch in the base games as the maps are [[DevelopersForesight deliberately designed in a way that prevents it from happening]], but it can be an issue that [[GameMod romhacks]] may run into. In ''Chatty Crystal'', there is a small piece of land south of Pallet Town where said glitch can be intentionally triggered, allowing access to a patch of grass in which Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Mew can be caught.
* AscendedMeme:
** The starter Pokémon being an Unown that draws its power form the chat is a nod to the Voices being frequently depicted as such in fanworks.
** Entei being the plot-centric Legendary Beast rather than Suicune is a reference to its status as a MemeticLoser among the community. Appropriately enough, it went down in a single hit before KKKB had a chance to catch it. [[invoked]]
* BossRush: The Trainer on top of Mt. Silver was, surprisingly, Red with his original team from ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver''. Beating him opened the door to the Silver Cave, in which every Host from a previous anniversary proceeded to show up: RED from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed'', AIIIAAB from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRedAnniversary Red Anniversary]]'', EVAN from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', [=×ᴹɴ(?=] from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'', ((( and XXWWNNᴾₖ from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonDualRedAndBlue Dual Red & Blue]]'' (fought one after the other), KAY from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBurningRed Burning Red]]'', and RED from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletRed Gauntlet Red]]''. Then, the final room featured one last battle against Azure, the rival from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' using her team from the final battle of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPyrite Pyrite]]'', and finally an encounter against the elusive Phancero from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism Pokémon Prism]]''.
* CombinedEnergyAttack: [=PPPPss=]' Hidden Power attack increases in power the faster the chat goes, encouraging viewers to spam as much as possible when using it.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletBlack2 ♀♀R]] was fought early on in the run (with a low level team of unremarkable Pokémon), and was notably the only character to neither be a recurring character nor a Gym Leader, instead taking the place of Sage Li, the elder fought at the top of Sprout Tower. Much, much later, he appeared once more as member of the Elite 4, using his much higher-leveled Hall of Fame team.
** This was actually an unintentional example, as some of the Hosts had to be re-assigned late into development. ♀♀R was placed in Sprout Tower to replace A from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald Emerald]]'' in order to increase the number of characters from later generations, but the developers forgot to check if he was already used elsewhere in the game.
* GameBreakingBug: [[invoked]]
** Early during the run, one of the Sages in Sprout Tower caused the game to freeze with a loud buzzing noise. Despite several resets, said battle kept breaking the game. The game was then manually saved and completely reset by the stream host, but as inputs resumed, a textbox containing a long string of question marks immediately popped up, followed by an error screen. After another reset (which had the amusing side-effect of [[GoodBadBugs dropping Unown and Zigzagoon badges again]]), and another crash against the same opponent, the question marks textbox appeared again, followed by this [[https://i.imgur.com/O2tTbD1.png monstruosity of a screen]]. The issue was finally identified as an AI code change calling the wrong data, and said Sage was finally able to be battled. [[EpicFail And KKKB lost to him.]] [[invoked]]
** On Day 3, the Voices noticed that VVVVVV, the Turtwig that they left in the Daycare, had somehow turned into [[GlitchEntity a glitchy, pixelated square]], and talking to it caused [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ResilientInnocentTrayDxCat-d8nHav2px0SjSfGj an overly long and mostly silent cry to play]] ; this was due to a programming oversight that caused the conversion table to get flooded when consulting the Pokédex, deleting Turtwig's species identifier. The Voices' reaction was to ''immediately'' retrieve it and attempt to send it into battle, which [[TooDumbToLive to the surprise of no one]] caused the game to freeze.
---> '''m4_used_rollout:''' chat I want you to sit and think about what you've done
** Inside the Silph Co. building, one of the opponents had its lines of dialogue replaced by a string of question marks, which stayed on screen for a few seconds before the textbox filled with garbage text then crashed back to the title screen, which can be seen [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ModernAuspiciousMartenPoooound-iOpqP9RUC4mkch96 in this clip]].
* GlitchEntity: After being left in the Daycare, VVVVVV the Turtwig turned into a glitchy pixelated square with an overly long and mostly silent cry that caused the music to get distorted. After it was retrieved, the overlay wasn't able to properly display its sprite, and it froze the game upon being sent into battle. This was the result of a programming oversight that caused the species conversion table to get flooded when scrolling through the Pokédex, thus deleting Turtwig's species identifier.
* GoodBadBugs: The Voices found out that, due to a programming oversight, scrolling through the Pokédex somehow made the in-game date change, and exploited this fact in order to raise Buneary's friendship level by getting multiple haircuts in a row from the Haircut Brothers, which are usually limited to one per day. [[invoked]]
* LegacyBossBattle:
** The Pokémon League PC from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRedAnniversary Red Anniversary]]'' and ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' can be found once more inside the Battle Tent; just like in those games, it allows KKKB to battle against her own team.
** Azure, the rival from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' who also served as the final boss of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPyrite Pyrite]]'', is the final opponent fought inside the Silver Cave. She uses her team from ''Pyrite'', namely Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lapras, Snorlax, and Mew.
** Phancero appeared for the third time after its original appearance in ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism Prism]]'' and its return in the secret area of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBurningRed Burning Red]]'', this time as the eleventh and final opponent of the Silver Cave, which is also the place where he was seen for the first time in ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' before flying away.
* LoopholeAbuse: The Battle Tent PC in Celadon City allows KKKB to battle against a team of Pokémon identical to her own, with the same stats, the same moves, and more importantly the same held items. Her Skuntank just so happens to know the move Thief, which can [[VideoGameStealing permanently steal an opponent's item]]; the Voices eventually realized that they could exploit this to create infinite duplicates of unique items (the Leftovers, the Focus Band, and ''especially'' the Master Ball) by making KKKB's Pokémon hold them then stealing them from the PC's team. There ''is'' however a risk involved that the League PC's Skuntank may do the same, which would result in [[BanditMook a permanent loss of the item]].
* LuckBasedMission: The final boss battle was against MARINA from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonMetronomeSapphire''. True to her game of origin, her entire team was only able to use the move [[RandomEffectSpell Metronome]]. However, KKKB's team was ''also'' only allowed to use Metronome during this battle, turning it into a complete game of chance.
--> '''MARINA:''' Oh, a battle? Very well. But on my terms.
* MythologyGag:
** KKKB arrived to the Pokémon Laboratory after all three starter Pokémon had already been chosen, mirroring what happened to Ash in the first episode of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''.
** A Chatot similar to the one from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' was eventually received, from the NPC who normally gives the player a Spearrow named "KENYA". ''TPP'' has had a bit of history with KENYA, first when it was randomized into an overpowered Groudon during ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonHeartGold'', and then when it was changed to a Hoothoot that made it all the way to the Hall of Fame in ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary''.
** When facing BABA from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal Vietnamese Crystal]]'', LARRY from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBootlegGreen Bootleg Green]]'', and URF from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonLightningSapphire Lightning Sapphire]]'', which were [[TranslationTrainWreck infamously terrible unofficial translations]] of ''Pokémon Crystal'', ''Pokémon Green'', and ''Pokémon Sapphire'' respectively, some of the the in-game battle dialogue actually changed to match said translations, even using the same mistranslated attack names.
---> '''When facing BABA:''' EN'SBEST FLAME ![[labelnote:Translation]]Enemy BEST used Flamethrower![[/labelnote]]
---> '''When facing LARRY:''' FOE WEEB'S SNOWSTORM![[labelnote:Translation]]Enemy WEEB used Blizzard![[/labelnote]]
---> '''When facing URF:''' [=EnemyWAHCurren=]![[labelnote:Translation]]Enemy WAH used Absorb![[/labelnote]]
** Y appeared as the Gym Leader of the Ice-themed Gym of Mahogany Town, a nod to the winter-theme of the overworld of ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonFusedCrystal Fused Crystal]]''.
** The 100th and last opponent of the Silph Co. building is Cal, the default Trainer found in the Trainer House of ''VideoGame/PokemonCrystal''.
* NonstandardSkillLearning: Similarly to ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'', not all emotes are initially taken in account when determining which type is attributed to Hidden Power and which move is triggered by Chatter; more emotes are gradually unlocked by obtaining specific badges. A list of all emote effects can be found [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RX4TE52Qw6MmchlgtLy58buUfbl8LLMXyHbhM7iugT8/ here]].
* NostalgiaLevel: Multiple levels were recreated or brought back from either previous ''TPP'' hacks or games previously featured on ''TPP''.
** Returning locations from previous anniversary hacks were the Battle Tent from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRedAnniversary Red Anniversary]]'' and ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', and the Silver Cave ruins from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]''.
** The Pokémon Tower and Safari Zone were brought back from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', although the latter had no entrance fee and used normal catching mechanics. The Rocket Hidout in Celadon City was also brought back, now abandoned aside from [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBootlegGreen LARRY]] and [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo GMMTMT]] making an appearance.
** The Trick House from ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' was recreated in the game, taking the place of Trainer House in Viridian City; the third and sixth puzzle were however omitted, due to the technical limitations of Generation II. The Seafloor Cavern, also from ''Ruby and Sapphire'', was also included, as the "Dream" location accessible by checking Red's bed in Pallet Town.
** The Silph Co. building is a peculiar case; while the location itself originated in ''Red and Blue'', its recreation in ''Chatty Crystal'' is functionally closer to Mt. Battle from ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness XD]]'', letting players battle against 10 floors of 10 opponents in a row each.
* NPCRoadblock: Because the run started before development of the hack was actually finalized, access to unfinished areas was blocked off by the devs placing a Snorlax in the middle of the path. Talking to any of them prompted a dialogue about how it was "tieing its shoes", forcing players to wait until it was done; this earned them the affectionate nickname of "Shoelaxes".
** The door of the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island and of the Trainer House in Viridian City were not blocked by a Snorlax, but simply by an old man, who claimed there was a "[[RunningGag Snorlax shoe convention]]" happening inside.
* ObviousRulePatch:
** The KAPOW emote was initially unlocked from the start, but was eventually locked behind the 13th badge when [[SuicideAttack Explosion]], which it made Chatter trigger, turned out to be much too powerful, essentially taking out any opponent's strongest Pokémon in one hit.
** On the first attempt made to catch it, Ho-Oh immediately ended the battle by using Whirlwind. It was removed from its moveset on the next attempt.
* OneSteveLimit:
** Averted with "KENYA", which is the name of both KKKB's Chatot, aoooo's Groudon, and EVAN's Noctowl, due to them both having been given out by the same NPC in their respective run of origin.
** Also averted with [[OneLetterName A]] from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald'' and [[OneLetterName A]] from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonFireRed'' both being present in the game, as a member of the Elite 4 and a Gym Leader respectively.
** Doubly averted when the Silver Cave featured no less than ''three'' different characters name RED: the canon one from ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'', the one from the original ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed'', and the one from the ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletRed Gauntlet Red]]'' run.
* OptionalBoss: Due to Sprout Tower actually being entirely optional in ''Crystal'', the chat initially skipped the battles against [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal BABA]] and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletBlack2 ♀♀R]] located there, before eventually going back to Violet City for them.
* PlotArmor: Since they are a central gimmick of this run, Unown and Chatot cannot be deposited, released, or left in the Daycare.
* PrecisionFStrike: When entering the room containing the Electrode-powered machine in the Rocket Hideout, [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism Cyan]]'s reaction was "ffs". Made doubly funny by the fact that lore usually depicts her as TheCutie.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: No less than 36 different previous characters appeared during the course of the run, most of them taking the place of major [=NPCs=] from the original game.
** EVAN from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'' was the first of KKKB's rivals, using the Grass-type starter Bulbasaur, and was fought in Cherrygrove City[[labelnote:*]]ul:::utx (Bulbasaur)[[/labelnote]], on Route 42[[labelnote:*]]QH (Omanyte), KJJKLLLLLL (Venonat), [=BCCCCCCuB?=] (Spinarak), KENYA (Noctowl), ul:::utx (Venusaur)[[/labelnote]], on the Ice Path[[labelnote:*]]KENYA (Noctowl), JHH (Aerodactyl), ul:::utx (Venusaur), !L (Miltank), [=---sxjxKKK=] (Seadra), FOX,/!!!)u (Jolteon)[[/labelnote]], inside the Pokémon Tower[[labelnote:*]]JHH (Aerodactyl), FOX,/!!!)u (Jolteon), [=---sxjxKKK=] (Seadra), !L (Miltank), KENYA (Noctowl), ul:::utx (Venusaur)[[/labelnote]], and at the Indigo Plateau[[labelnote:*]]FOX,/!!!)u (Jolteon), JHH (Aerodactyl), [=---sxjxKKK=] (Kingdra), !L (Miltank), KENYA (Noctowl), ul:::utx (Venusaur)[[/labelnote]].

** [=×ᴹɴ(?=] from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow Chatty Yellow]]'' took over the role of Eusine from the original game, and was therefore met and battled inside the Burned Tower[[labelnote:*]]RATTATA (Rattata), AAAIIIIIIᴾₖ (Nidoran♀), [=IIAAAIig--=] (Chatot), AJᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴾₖᴾₖᴾₖ (Pikachu), MAGIKARP (Magikarp), RJKKCCCDDF (Bulbasaur)[[/labelnote]], Cianwood City[[labelnote:*]]XACC (Jigglypuff), AJᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴹɴᴾₖᴾₖᴾₖ (Pikachu), IGGGGGGFCC (Diglett), RJKKCCCDDF (Bulbasaur), MAGIKARP (Magikarp), [=IIAAAIig--=] (Chatot)[[/labelnote]], the Tin Tower Barrier Station[[labelnote:*]]IAS (Raichu), [=AAAAAAaaaa=] (Chatot), IZZZZZZZQ (Jigglypuff), [=-SJJJJ× ᴹɴ(=] (Venusaur), AJJTUUUUU (Gyarados), IGGGGGGFCC (Dugtrio)[[/labelnote]], and the Celadon Pokémon Center[[labelnote:*]][=-SJJJJ× ᴹɴ(=] (Venusaur), IGGGGGGFCC (Dugtrio), IAS (Raichu), [=AAAAAAaaaa=] (Chatot), AJJJTUUUUU (Gyarados), IZZZZZZZZQ (Wigglytuff)[[/labelnote]].

** Inside the Abandoned Rocket Hideout, KKKB stumbled upon GMMTMT, the titular Wooper from ''The Wooper Who Saved Christmas'', which was played as a 2020 Christmas intermission, and battled against it[[labelnote:*]]Nidorino (Nidorino), Diglett (Diglett), GGGHH (Diglett), Wooper (Quagsire), Wooper (Wooper), A, ,,.gkk… (Machop)[[/labelnote]].

** Checking the bed in Pallet Town after obtaining the Diploma transported KKKB to Hoenn's Seafloor Cavern, at the bottom of which resided the final opponent of the run: MARINA from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonMetronomeSapphire Metronome Sapphire]]''[[labelnote:*]]VVOOOOOOIC (Venusaur), MMMMMMMMGG (Mew), JJJJJJJJJJ (Scizor), IIHBAAAMMM (Gengar), AAAAAAAAAA (Slowking), KENNNNNNNN (Groudon)[[/labelnote]], who challenged KKKB to a battle in which both sides were only allowed to use the move [[RandomEffectSpell Metronome]].
* RecurringBoss:
** KKKB had [[TheRival three different rivals]], all based on characters from previous runs and fought at multiple points of the game. [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal AJDNNW]] was battled in Azalea City, in Olivine City, and on Victory Road, [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal BABA]] in the Sprout Tower, the Burned Tower, the Rocket Hideout, and Mt. Moon, and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary EVAN]] in Cherrygrove City, on Route 42, on the Ice Path, in the Pokémon Tower, at the Indigo Plateau, and inside the Silver Cave.
** Aside from the three rivals, [=×ᴹɴ(?=] took the place of Eusine from the original ''Crystal'', and as such was encountered and battled inside the Burned Tower, north of Cianwood City, inside the Tin Tower Barrier Station, at the Celadon City Pokémon Center, and inside the Silver Cave.
** Of all the previous Hosts featured as Team Rocket members, [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonTriHardEmerald F48]] and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBootlegGreen Larry]] are tied for being the ones faced most often. F48 was found inside the Slowpoke Well, the Rocket Hideout, and the Radio Tower, while Larry was fought in the Rocket Hideout, the Radio Tower, and once more in the Rocket Hideout after it was abandoned.
* TheRival: KKKB had three different rivals, all based on previous ''TPP'' protagonists and encountered at various points of the game: AJDNNW from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal'', using the Water-type starter Totodile, BABA from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal'', using the Fire-type starter Cyndaquil, and EVAN from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary'', using the Grass-type starter Bulbasaur.
* RunningGag: Whenever players tried to access an area that the developers hadn't yet finalized, the path was temporarily blocked by a Snorlax; talking to it prompted a line of dialogue about how it was "tieing its shoes". Later, the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island and the Trainer House in Viridian City had their doors blocked by an old man, claiming that there was a "Snorlax shoe convention" happening inside.
* SequenceBreaking:
** {{Discussed|Trope}} with a plan to get to the Indigo Plateau early in spite of the fact that ''Chatty Crystal'' requires [[GottaCatchEmAll all sixteen badges]] to be acquired first. While the HM for Waterfall was removed from its normal location in order to make the Tohjo Falls impossible to pass through, players thought they could circumvent this by getting a Seaking, which learns Waterfall naturally by leveling up. While some time was spent looking for one, this plan was never actually put into action.
** While it was intended for Kanto to be explored right after Johto, the developers ran late and couldn't get it ready in time. As a result, they temporarily blocked off access to the S.S. Anne by placing a Snorlax on the docks of Olivine City until development was far enough for KKKB to continue her journey. Players simply decided to surf ''around'' the Snorlax to talk to the NPC behind it, which triggered a walk cycle to get to the boat that made KKKB walk ''right through the Snorlax'' and successfully embark on the boat to Kanto, before the developers intervened and sent her back.
* SeriesContinuityError:
** DADA, the red Gyarados from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVietnameseCrystal Vietnamese Crystal]]'', did not appear shiny when it was first faced because one of the devs gave it the wrong DV values.
** Some of the Pokémon nicknames don't match with the run they originated from, such as [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonTriHardEmerald F48]]'s Manectric being named "[=b syro .9=]" instead of "[=b syro .g=]", or [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonXG Stars]]' Blaziken being named "ABBBBBBBBQ" instead of "ABBBBBBBQ". More ostensibly, Stars' Salamence was named "BCCMMW", which was actually the name of his Metagross.
* SpiritualSequel: ''Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal'' is pretty much a follow-up to ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyYellow'', using the same "chatty" system that replaces all dialogue with Markov chains composed of chat messages, having a starter whose trademark attack has its effect influenced by emotes, and even featuring Chatot as a central character, with the one obtainable in-game having the same abilities as the ''Chatty Yellow'' stater.
* StealthPun: [=tppPika=], an emote representing Pikachu stifling its laughter, turns Hidden Power into a Grass-type move, rather than an Electric-type move. This is alluding to the kanji 草, which means "grass" but is also Internet slang for stifled laughter, due to the kanji w, aka the kanji equivalent of "LOL", looking like blades of grass when repeated multiple times.
* SuicideAttack: The [=SSSsss=] and [=PermaSmug=] emotes cause Chatter to turn into Self-Destruct, while the KAPOW emote causes it to become Explosion.
* TrollingCreator: [[invoked]]
** The Jebaited emote, which is typically used to signify that a streamer has been tricked by their audience or vice-versa, was only [[NonstandardSkillLearning unlocked]] after earning the 16th and final badge. The chat was then finally able to use it and see the move it turned Chatter into... and it turned out to be [[UselessItem Splash]].
** The developers re-created the Silph Co. building, now home to a new challenge that involved beating 100 increasingly powerful Trainers (similar to Mt. Battle in ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonXD''). The reward for completing said challenge, which took the Voices no less than 12 hours, was a choice between an encounter with either Raikou or Suicune, or an item. They ended up picking up the item... which turned out to be a set of 5 Master Balls, which they were already able to obtain a virtually unlimited amount of through a certain LoopholeAbuse, rendering them completely pointless.
---> '''asdf14396:''' all i'm going to say is that you get a choice of rewards at the end
---> '''asdf14396:''' choose wisely
** Right under the ladder leading to the final room of the Silver Cave was a ledge, clearly placed there to make the simple act of getting to the ladder more difficult than it needed to be.
* TheUnintelligible: The Marhov-chain system turns ''everyone'' into this, with the quasi-entirety of the game's dialogue becoming a nonsensical amalgamation of various unrelated and out-of-context sentences.
