Darth Wiki / Pokemon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze

Pokémon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze is the eighth entry in the Pokémon Peace Squad 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 Mega Evolution, which allows one of the Pokémon used by the chosen character to become more powerful, and 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 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.

Main Tropes

---

Tropes that apply to Pokémon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze:

• 11th-Hour Superpower: 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.
• All the Worlds Are a Stage: 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.
• All Your Powers Combined: 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.
• Amusement Park: Cryogenic Night is Carnival Night Zone, except sinking in quicksnow due to Team Crystal having 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.
• Bad Future: 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 ( 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).
• Beneath the Earth: 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 Womb Level.
• Big Boo's Haunt: 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.
• Big Fancy Castle: 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, falling chandeliers, some you swing across, lava pools, a ceiling that tries to crush you, and a maze of dark rooms.
• Bleak Level:
  • 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.
  • 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.
• Bonus Level: 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 unlock these stages.
• Bonus Level of Heaven: Mystic Realm is an area of crystal formations in a 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 fight a strange boss called the Prism Globe.
• Boss Rush: 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).
• Brainwashed and Crazy: At one point of the game, 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 Big Bad 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.
• Build Like an Egyptian: 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.
• Chekhov's Gunman: Cristel, princess of the Megime Empire. She talks about wanting her kingdom to last forever. 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.
• Construction Zone Calamity:

  • 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.
• Cyber Space/Tomorrow Land: 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.
• Disc-One Final Boss: 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.
• Disc-One Final Dungeon: 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.
• Down the Drain: 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.
• Dug Too Deep: Magnet Mineway is a metallic mine filled with 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 Gravity Screw style, and an area with a magnetic flux that causes you to levitate in the air.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Various Mega forms for Pokémon introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are seen in this game before making their debut in the latter. In addition, 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).
• Elaborate Underground Base: 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.
• Eldritch Location/Womb Level: 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.

• Futuristic Superhighway: 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.

CHARACTER FOLDERS

Supporting Cast

Prof. Miranda Freonia *Spoilers*

WARNING: UNMARKED SPOILERS!

A scientist in the study of Time Crystals, Prof. Freonia came to the assistance of Prof. Oak after the descent of the mystery ship in Pokémon Peace Squad: Crystal Freeze in order to investigate the crisis at hand. During the events of the game, she mans the hand radio alongside Oak, giving the chosen character information regarding the stages and can also be spoken to at the PeaceSquad HeliBase where she'll give information regarding Time Crystals.

spoiler: After clearing the Final Episode, however, Prof. Freonia is revealed to be 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 freeze all of time in the past so that the Megime Empire will last forever! This is because she has some connection to the Megime Empire.

---

Tropes that apply to Prof. Freonia:

• Alas, Poor Villain: Despite what she turned out to be and tried to do, given what happened to cause her to become this, you can't help but feel sorry for this ice queen. Even the chosen character tends to feel this way during the game's ending.
• An Ice Person: She uses weapons built into her queen dress that can freeze targets in glowing crystal.
• Big Bad: Prof. Freonia happens to be the true main villain of Pokémon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze.
• Diabolical Mastermind: Near the end of the game, Freonia is revealed to actually be Team Crystal's leader.
• Evil All Along: In a spinoff series going much longer than anyone thought it would, Prof. Freonia is one of the few people in the series to be revealed to be this.
• Evil Costume Switch: After defeating Giovanni and clearing the Final Episode, Freonia appears wearing a queen-like outfit similar to what she wore when she was still Cristel, princess of the Megime Empire.
• Expy: Prof. Freonia comes off as one of Queen Elsa of Disney's Frozen, except if Elsa was evil and had ambitions of freezing time itself.
• Fish out of Temporal Water: She's actually from 100 years in the past, having been transported to 5 or 10 years before the present events of Pokémon Peace Squad Crystal Freeze by the Time Prisms reacting to the disaster that was to occur in both the past and present.
• Irony: It turns out that while Freonia's goal was to make it so that the Megime Empire would last forever by freezing time, it ends up being her actions that caused the destruction of the kingdom in the first place. She ultimately accepts that it's her own fault, only to decide to go through with her plan anyway and resurrect the Megime Empire after freezing time.
• Killed Off for Real: After the Chaos Heart is destroyed, its explosion turns Freonia to crystal, then the crystal core collapses on top of her, and for a second, she can actually be seen breaking apart. On top of all this, this happened miles below the ocean floor a century in the past, meaning that by now, Freonia is definitely gone.
• Mad Scientist: Although we're unsure if she really was a scientist or if that was only a cover, Prof. Freonia gives off this vibe due to her morality.
• Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: In addition to her motives, we're not sure exactly how Freonia become a professor in the first place.
• Omnicidal Maniac: She wants to permanently freeze all of time, destroying the world, so that the Megime Empire itself won't be destroyed and continue to flourish.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Freonia is actually Princess Cristel, having been transported from the past. After discovering that the Megime Empire did indeed fall, she created the pseudonym of Prof. Freonia and focused on trying to go back in time and preserve her kingdom.
• Tragic Villain: Freonia, or Cristel, wanted her kingdom to last forever, only to descend into despair and then madness upon finding out that it destroyed shortly after she was sent forward in time, and trying to destroy the world in order to prevent the Megime Empire from being destroyed. It cumulates with Freonia being turned into crystal upon the Chaos Heart exploding and crushed by the collapsing core, the chosen character unable to save her.
• Treacherous Advisor: Prof. Freonia, much like Prof. Oak, other Pokémon Professors, Shingo, and DJ Mary, mans the radio and gives you advice on getting through the stages among other things. Turns out she's actually Team Crystal's leader and was using you to stop Team Rocket in order to acquire what she needed from Giovanni for her own plans.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: She seeks to ensure that the Megime Empire lasts forever without the interference from the rest of the world.
• Walking Spoiler: Anything that pertains to Prof. Freonia other than her being a specialist in Time Crystals effectively makes her this.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Prof. Freonia's main goal is to freeze time in order to prevent the Megime Empire from dying in the past.
