Season 1

Season 1 of Pokémon Crystal Version Adventures ran from February 9, 2010 through February 14, 2010 over eight episodes. The first four episodes were all filmed in a row, the next three episodes were all filmed in a row three days later, and the last episode was filmed on its own another two days later (although the latter was originally filmed on February 13).

Season 1, like its successor, was completely restricted to a private audience until late May 2011. It was met with a positive response from those in the private audience, and it was renewed for a second season after the finale aired; it should be noted, however, that Season 2 was originally supposed to begin about a month later.

Like the entire series, Season 1&apos;s cast and crew were entirely made up by series creator EDB, with the only exception being the game itself, which was developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo in 2001.

Season 1 is made up of five separate stories, spread over eight episodes. The first four episodes are each a separate story (though each story picks up right after the previous story), and the last four episodes all make up a single four-part story, which is currently the longest individual story in the series (not by total running time but by number of episodes).

Season 1 did not follow any story arcs, though it did feature the first appearances of the Annon Network and the Unown. The majority of the season takes place in Goldenrod City and The Ruins of Alph. Beefcake visits Kanto only once in this entire season, and this only in the first episode.

All of Season 1 is currently available for anytime viewing on Sparkle Entertainment&apos;s YouTube channel as of March 10, 2012.
