2* AccidentalInnuendo:
3** (player)!DRUG BAG FUCK. This is how the game renders "(player) put the Potion into the bag". This gets worse with some other items, such as Poke Balls; "(player) put the Poke Ball in the Ball Pocket" is translated to "(player)!HUGEBALL BALL FUCK".
4*** "(player)!GREASY BAG FUCK"
5** "HOW MANY MONSTERS HAVE YOU GRABBED?"
6** The game repeatedly translates "catch Pokémon" or similar phrases as "grasp monsters".
7** "NO! [Pokémon name] [[HaveAGayOldTime COME]] [[ComingOutStory OUT]]" for when you fail to catch an enemy Pokémon.
8* BadassDecay:
9** Team of Missile Bomb. They are even more of a joke than Team Rocket in the anime.
10** Instead of having a secret base, they meet at ''their boss's house''.
11** The experiments they conduct are to "MAKE MONSTERS WRONG".
12** Many of the grunts imply they want to quit their jobs.
13** When you defeat them at the radio station, one grunt says, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere "OUR MISSILE BOMBS DISBAND THERE, BYE."]]
14** Due to video-corruption during a portion of LetsPlay/DeliciousCinnamon's original play-through, the viewers never got to see Team Missile Bomb's defeat at the Goldenrod City radio tower. As a result, the journey skips from Eggie beginning to make her way through the Missile Bomb controlled radio tower all the way to Eggie getting ready to clear out the Blackthorn City gym.
15* BileFascination: "Original" copies of this game are hard to find. It really could be a nice game to play on a console.
16* CrossoverShip: Some people shipped this game's version of Kris with ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'''s Red back the early days of the LP.
17* DisappointingLastLevel: In a weird way. The translation actually becomes more competent—and thus, [[SoBadItWasBetter less entertaining]]—when you beat the Four Emperor and head into Guandong (what is supposed to be Kanto).
18* EnsembleDarkhorse: Silver is a favorite character of many fans with his [[EvilIsHammy hilarious hammy, angry rants]] and the fact that he [[{{Tsundere}} may or may not be madly in love with the player]].
19* FanficFuel: Fans love to make ''Vietnamese Crystal''-style translations for Pokémon and other elements from later generations (3 through 9), as well as elements from adaptations such as [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries the anime]]. The "[[http://elfcoach.deviantart.com Elfcoach]]" account on Website/DeviantART exists for that very purpose, and the account's owner has even made {{Fan Sequel}}s in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Vietnamese Emerald]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon Vietnamese Platinum]]''.
20* FountainOfMemes: Basically the whole game, but Silver and his ramblings in particular are ''endlessly'' quotable.
21* HilariousInHindsight:
22** One guy in Ecruteak Theater, if you compare Vietnamese to English.
23-->THAT UNCLE IS IN COMPANY WITH RACING CAR.[[note]]The guy originally said the Trainer always is with his Rhydon. [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Put two and two together]].[[/note]]
24** Due to bad translation, this game's Silver is apparently very {{Tsundere}} towards the protagonist. Come ''[=HeartGold=]'' and ''[=SoulSilver=]'', and one of the most popular pairings in the fandom is [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming SoulSilver]], pairing the female PlayerCharacter Lyra and Silver, now with a legitimately heartwarming character arc about getting over his past. Plus, and in the Japanese fandom, he's pretty much become considered the franchise's resident Tsundere.
25%% ZCE - is this about the Trubbish line? ** In one of his many incoherent rants, Silver says "THE TRASHY STROLLING IS AN EYESORE!" Come Generation V...
26* MemeticMutation: The entire translation, but especially Volcano Bakemeat and the "trashy man" speech.
27* {{Narm}}: Dear God, Vietnamese Crystal is practically made of Narm. Any scene that was intended to be dramatic in any way is just made laughable by virtue of TranslationTrainWreck, AccidentalInnuendo, WordSaladHumor, NoPunctuationIsFunnier, and a boatload of other tropes. Enemy trainers shout strange things before they fight you and babble incoherently when they lose, [[DubNameChange Team Missle Bomb]]'s antics are strange and laughable, Silver is the [[LargeHam largest ham]] to have ever walked the earth, and Pokémon battles often include doing drugs and sending your Pokémon to a pillory.
28* NarmCharm: Despite it being full of Narm, it's also full of this. It's in the more humourous variety of this, especially with Silver, who [[LargeHam expresses his hate for the trashy man in the most hilarious way]], and may or may not secretly [[{{Tsundere}} love you]].
29* ParanoiaFuel: "WHILE WALKING IN JUNGLE MANY WORM WILL FOLLOW YOU"
30* QuirkyWork: Unintentionally, due to the [[TranslationTrainWreck horrible translations]] everywhere.
31* SignatureScene: Silver's famous Trashy Man speech.
32* SoBadItsGood: The horrible, incomprehensible translations may cause onlookers to burst out into uncontrollable laughter several times.
