That doesn't mean just simply eliminating any already provided material (Pokemon in your fic's case), but instead create some outside-the-box settings that wasn't included in the original game, or for any vague idea existed in the game which requires more explicit explanation before it could utilize in writing, try to add in more solid rules in it.
As you had mentioned yourself, Pokemon Crystal is an old game that nowadays not many people may know it. Therefore you need to write with the premise assuming reader doesn't know any insider info only known by gamers that had already played Crystal. Hence you should write a fic that can be understandable by everyone, not just the ones that had played the game before.
