pokemon kinda sucks but i like it anyways. this is the best looking in the series, and as much is squeezed out of 2d pokemon as possible. the sprites are wonderfully detailed and fake 3d is used really well here. as for the battle system, its a pokemon battle system. it is the best version of that though, before the full power creep and benefitting from 4 games worth of old pokemon iteration. my favorite game to nuzlocke.

At the time, I didn't play it because the design of most new Pokémon was too different for me. Around three years later I finally gave it a try and felt like a clown for my previous decision. I missed out on the release of the Pokémon game with the absolute best story and characters, an amazing soundtrack that ties to the gameplay, and something that Gamefreak made with effort, and a clear vision. Someone dreamt to realize this game. And it was the last time, sadly, for the franchise. And I feel that the ruin of Pokémon, starting with XY, is a byproduct of everyone who ignored Black and White like me.

not much i can say that i didnt say about th sequels . th sequels just took this already great game n improved upon it massively .

THE perfect Pokemon game, right next to its sequel. Every game I've ever played wished I held it in my heart the way I do pokemon Black.


Honeslty this generation is peak pokemon. I think having to use brand new pokemon is very refreshing and challenges the player to learn a new dex and build a team. Which is what pokemon is all about anyways so idk why people complain but anyways this game is very good and if you choose to play only one pokemon game id say you should play this one.

valorant players would've hated black version because of unspecified reasons

I once traded this copy with NSMB, worst mistake of my life

I was very enthusiastic about the setting being based on the U.S., but I found the game to be unmemorable. The villain team hates Pokemon being used in battles, yet... uses them in battles. The Elite 4 (and the music especially) I found to be high points in the game. After all, it's still Pokemon and still a blast to play through.

É muito bom, acaba sendo ofuscado pela sequência, porém mesmo com isso é uma das melhores experiências que se pode ter jogando Pokémon

Beautiful story even outside of pokemon's standards, with a good message for children yet really enjoyable for adults by dealing with mature themes, well built characters and fair difficulty, not too hard nor too easy, and they really brought out NDS's full capabilities for maps and backgrounds. Also, very good encounter design, the game flows incredibly well if you explore all the routes and dungeons available before each city gym (gym leader's pokemon's type is always weak to the previous route's pokemon and useful MTs are strategically placed). Special mentions for the OST, some of the bests and most inspired of the franchise. Favourite pokemon game.
