Pokémon Crater, often subtitled as the Battle Arena, is an unofficial online Pokémon game that is played with just a mouse. Registered players can click on maps to gain Pokémon and battle with a computer-controlled player to raise their Pokémon's levels. The site was created by webmaster Aaron in 1999. Since then, it has undergone a number if changes and is now at Version 7. Today, players can walk around a map and battle the members around them, though the actual opponent may still be controlled by the computer. Before version 4.0, only one Pokémon would be used by each trainer in all battles. However, now the aim is to beat a team of up to six Pokémon, though switches are not allowed until either one faints.
Features
Additional features include battling Gym Leaders to collect badges and battling anime characters. Healing items can be bought, along with Poké Balls. Master Balls are available, though they are actually closer to the Ultra Balls of the game in effectiveness. Healing items are useless unless they are used during battle because a Pokémon regains all HP after battle. Each member of any species of Pokémon will always have the same four moves, which can be checked using the site Pokédex. The main aim is to get onto the Top Trainer's list and/or complete the Pokédex, though that is a very hard feat to manage. It is even harder than in the games, because the Pokédex counts only the Pokémon currently owned, not ones that have been evolved or traded. Also, all 28 Unown forms are separate Pokémon, the three cloaks for Burmy and Wormadam are counted as separate, the Unique Pokémon (see below), and there are 5 forms of each species: Normal, Shiny, Dark, Metallic, and Ghostly.
In some version of the game players could now change the attack of a Pokémon via the My Pokémon Team Page or View All My Pokémon. This allows users to change a Pokémon's attacks with new ones. With the right amount of money a Pokémon could now have a different attack but, the price varies from Pokémon to Pokémon.
Unique Pokémon
The site has its own unique Pokémon, a Dragon/Ice Pokémon called Dratinice. Dratinice previously evolved at level 100 - a level easier to reach than in the games - into the Dragon/Fire Pokémon Dratinire and an Electric/Dragon Pokémon called Dratilic. However, the three Pokémon, commonly known as the "legendary Dratinis" are now separate creatures that are not related through evolution. Until Shiny Pokémon were added, Shiny Scyther was a novelty, as this was Aaron's favorite Pokémon. Both Dratinice and Shiny Scyther could be found in a house on the maps at a specific time of the day. In Version 4.0, the houses are no longer there. This means that Dratinice can only be found in the wild, though it is rare. Shiny Scyther is found in the same as any other Shiny Pokémon, and so is just as rare. There are also four special classes Pokémon, Dark Pokémon, Metallic Pokémon, Ghostly Pokémon and Shiny Pokémon, each with their own unique attributes besides colour scheme.
Battles
The site has numerous ways of battling. If players enter a specific house they may battle other anime characters like Tracey and Ash. Although wild Pokémon will not be encountered, players can still fight other trainers. If a wild Pokémon is beaten, the Pokémon used in battle will receive experience points and some money depending on the battle. Beating gym leaders (see below) will award players with a badge and twice the money they would normally receive. The same thing happens with other trainers: experience points and money is gained. Players can find wild Pokémon by pressing the direction arrows outside of buildings.
There are two ways of battling another member. Players can battle them computer controlled, in which the member's Pokémon are controlled by the computer, or live battle them, in which that member controls his/her Pokémon. There are two ways to engage in a live battle. Players can look around the map for one or can type their username into the "Battle an Online Member (Live Battle)" page.
Gym Leaders
There are 44 Gym Leaders which players can battle at any time in any order. They award you with a badge and double experience points as well.

Items
Items can be bought at any time using the "Item Inventory/Buy Items" button. Items available include Poké Balls, Healing Items, and evolutionary stones.
Poké Balls
There are 4 types of Poké Balls. During a wild Pokémon battle, a player may at any time throw one at the wild Pokémon. If the wild Pokémon is not captured, you are given a chance to switch Pokémon.
- Poké Ball
- Captures a Wild Pokémon with 15 or less remaining HP.
- Great Ball
- Captures a Wild Pokémon with 30 or less remaining HP.
- Super Ball
- Captures a Wild Pokémon with 45 or less remaining HP.
- Master Ball
- Captures all Pokémon.
- The Master Ball was notorious in earlier versions of the site for not catching every Pokémon, instead simply being a bit more effectve than a Super Ball.
Healing Items
There are 10 healing items. During a wild Pokémon battle or Trainer battle, a player may use one (using an item takes up one turn). Only live opponents can use them.
- Potion
- Restores 50 HP to the active Pokémon.
- Super Potion
- Restores 100 HP to the active Pokémon.
- Ultra Potion
- Restores 200 HP to the active Pokémon.
- Full Heal
- Cures the active Pokémon of the current Status Effect.
- Paralyze Heal
- Cures the active Pokémon of Paralysis.
- Ice Heal
- Cures the active Pokémon of Freezing.
- Awakening
- Cures the Active Pokémon of Sleep.
- Burn Heal
- Cures the Active Pokémon of Burning.
- Antidote
- Cures the Active Pokémon of Poison.
- Berries
- Restores 30 HP to one Pokémon.
Evolution
Not all methods of evolution and evolutional chains are the same as in games.
Methods of Evolution
There are three methods of evolution.
- Experience
- The Pokémon levels up to a certain level to evolve.
- Evolution Stones
- The Pokémon is given a stone (water, thunder, fire, leaf, moon, sun, shiny, dawn, dusk) and evolves. The stone is removed from the user's inventory.
- Automatic
- The trainer chooses when his/her Pokémon evolves. It can evolve at any time.
Message Board
Alongside the game, at one time the site had a fairly busy message board. These were to talk and get help about the game, as well as talking about Pokémon and more general topics. The moderators, who usually worked with little interaction with Aaron, had a hard policy against spam, and were prepared to ban those who did not follow the list of rules. These boards were removed during a big upgrade in August 2004. In the anti-spam climate of the original boards, those who did post properly were noticed, and many were recruited to a private club, named Valthors by its creator, Vandurer. Three of the four forum moderators, including the most prominent, were among the members. However, with the major source of recruitment closed down, the activity level of club dropped significantly and it remained largely inactive until being officially dissolved in June 2007. A new message board was set up in March 2006 but this did not have Valthor influence.
