Season 2

Season 2 of Pokémon Crystal Version Adventures ran from January 23, 2011 through May 15, 2011 for a total of ten episodes, plus a special episode that premiered on January 21, 2011.

Season 2, like its predecessor, was completely restricted to a private audience until late May 2011. It was met with a higher positive response than Season 1 from those in the private audience, and it was renewed for a third season about two weeks before the finale aired. Originally slated for premiere about a month after the first season finale, Season 2 did not premiere until eleven months after the first season finale.

Series creator EDB comprised the entireties of Season 2's cast and crew, with the only exceptions being Pokémon Crystal Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version themselves, which were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo in 2001 and 2010, respectively.

Season 2 is made up of ten separate stories, spread over ten episodes and one special episode. The special episode and part of the first episode form one story, and the ninth and tenth episodes make up another story; the latter part of the first episode and episodes two through eight are each a standalone story.

Season 2 was the first season whose episodes' plots were usually somewhat pre-planned---all dialogue was still improvised, and some plot elements, such as Beefcake's asking Misty out in the fourth episode, was also improvised---and it was the first to include story arcs that span multiple standalone episodes.

The primary story arc was the alternate dimension arc. This involved Beefcake discovering evidence of a parallel world, such as strange music playing in the Team Rocket Hideout, the ringing of a phone, and a book that discussed the phenomenon; this story arc concluded in the season finale. An overlapping story arc, the Genesis Crystal arc, was opened at the end of the seventh episode; the Crystal arc will be the primary story arc for the first half of Season 3 and will conclude in the Season 3 mid-season finale. The final story arc opened in Season 2 was the Red/Ash/Konji arc, which was briefly explored in the season finale and will be a secondary story arc throughout Season 3.

All of Season 2, including The Complete Second Season collection, is currently available for anytime viewing on Sparkle Entertainment's YouTube channel as of March 10, 2012.
