Pokemon Black and White
Yep it's that time again. Time for another round of new Pokémon games, which means more monsters for you to imprison so you can force them to cockfight. Here's a brief explanation. This game has the same setup as all the other ones (big surprise there) - choose a fire, water, or grass starter and then set off on an adventure to fill your Pokédex with creatures far and wide while some professor sits back and relaxes. This region is called Unova, and you'll find a whole new cast of Pokémon to collect, trade, and battle. You can also bring over Pokémon from previous titles, after you beat the game.
If you've ever played a Pokémon game, you'll feel right at home with either Black or White, since they are pretty much the same as all the other installments in the series. The guys at Game Freak don't like changing up their RPG formula, but this pair of games does feature some slight tweaks here and there. As you read on, remember that I used the term 'slight.'
NOTE: If you are debating on which version to get, there are some differences between the two, besides just whom you can catch. White features more triple battles, while Black has more rotational battles. White features a forest where you can find rare items and fight unevolved rare Pokémon. Black features a city where you can buy rare items and fight evolved rare Pokémon. And the eighth Gym leader differs in both versions. Whoop-diddly-doo.

Whats Good and About Pokemon Black and White
What's Good
Pokémon used facelift - It's super effective! - The biggest change in this pair of games is the graphics. When you go into cities or towns, the view has a more 3D effect to give you the feel of depth and scale. It's particularly nice in the giant city of Castelia (based on Lower Manhattan), where people are moving around all the time and the buildings are massive. Some other graphical overhauls are present, like a revolving seasons feature that changes the landscape based on how long you've been playing in-game (this also affects the appearance of certain Pokémon). Also, in battles your Pokémon move! No longer are they static images! How exciting!
For your convenience - There has finally been a removal of some of the small tedious parts of past games. Pokémon centers and marts are integrated as one, and you can battle wirelessly offline at any point in the game. You don't have to be at a center anymore to battle your friends that are standing right next to you. It's not much, but in a Pokémon game, the smallest things are the biggest changes.
Are you a bad enough dude to catch 'em all? - And of course, more Pokémon for your growing collection. These games bring the total up to about 649, and they are compatible with all previous versions from the GBA and up. That pretty much guarantees that if you really want to catch 'em all, you'll be playing for quite some time.
Warning: Threesomes ahead - This time around, the game tries to top double battles by bringing triple battles into the game! As you might have expected, yes, you battle with three monsters at once. But the catch is, only the middle Pokémon has free choice on which opponent he attacks. The left and right Pokémon can only attack the enemy across from them. This actually adds some unique strategy to the game, since the placement of yourfighter plays a big role. Though these fights are few and far between, they do offer something new and challenging. There are also new rotational battles that are similar to triple battles, though I didn't find that they involved as much strategy.
The shackles of friend codes have (kind of) been broken! - You know, most of us probably have taken online play with strangers for granted by now - but not Nintendo fans. Nope, the big N hasn't been very receptive on that end of their games, which is why we had to wait until this installment of the series to finally get it. But it's here now! Playing online with random matchups, no friend codes needed. It's a miracle I tell you, a miracle!
What's Bad
I see they hire 2nd graders at the art department now - I just have to get this out of the way - the designs of most of the new Pocket Monsters look terrible. And I mean turd-on-a-stick-and-then-roasted terrible. I gotta give props to some of them (like Tepig, the best starter I've seen in a while), but for the most part, the new creatures either look like uninspired garbage or Digimon. When you have a character that is an ice cream cone, you've hit a creative barrier.
The more things change%u2026the more they don't - Look. It's Pokémon. This set of games may have the most revolutionary changes, but it's the same thing we've been playing. Fire, grass, and water starters. A team that tries to stop you at every turn (though I have to give them mad props for having a better directive this time). The Elite Four. There is no significant change to the formula that's been around for over 10 years, and as much as that can be a good thing, I gotta list it under this heading. After all this time, at least do something radically different. Less gyms? Different starters? Introduce more types even, I don't care - just something.
Worth Remembering
Every little tweak and change that has been made. It's definitely more than Game Freak has done for any other Pokémon game, and that makes them quite noticeable. But at the same time%u2026
Worth Forgetting
The fact that when it comes down to it, you still choose from three starters, fight in eight gyms, and take down the Elite Four. Pokémon is the most change-resistant series I know of, and I have to give it some flak because of that.
In conclusion, this game takes the Pokémon formula and gives it a nice glossy finish. Almost everything in the game has been graphically overhauled to meet our ever-growing standards for gaming, with over 150 new Pokémon to boot. Triple/rotational battles are the sole big addition to the game, but when it comes down to it, Pokémon sells like hotcakes to a line of fat starving guys that haven't eaten in a week, whether they change anything or not. I am disappointed that there aren't very many significant changes, but the tweaks here and there are more than we've gotten in the past.
If you love catching 'em all, your new addiction is here, and it's better than ever. If you've never tried out a Pokémon game before, this one is more than willing to welcome you into the fold with open arms and get you hooked on catching those weird little creatures. Just know what you're getting into - you'll get addicted to finding and catching all those little weirdoes. Yes, even the ice cream cone.
