Product description
Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version feature new Pokémon that players can catch, train and battle as they progress through the game, and some Pokémon can only be caught in one version of the game. For example, the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram can only be caught in Pokémon Black Version, while the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom can only be caught in Pokémon White Version. Additionally, the two games feature different areas for the first time in the series, with the game world of Pokémon Black Version featuring a unique metropolitan area called Black City, and a lush, green area named White Forest only found in Pokémon White Version. Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version also mark the first time in a Pokémon video game that the seasons will change in the game world. Certain Pokémon appear more frequently during different seasons, and players can only access some areas during a specific season. Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version let players start with one of three new Starter Pokémon - the Grass-type Snivy, the Fire-type Tepig or the Water-type Oshawott. Until the main story of the game is complete, every Pokémon that players encounter will have never been seen before in previous Pokémon games. The games also feature original boy and girl trainers who set out on an adventure in the new Unova region.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 3, 2025Verified PurchaseI had to pick this up before the hype of everyone trying to get their hands on a copy so they could transfer and then Pokemon announced they were shutting down that connection fully so... that sucked. But the product itself was great! Yay.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2011Verified PurchaseIt's my first review, so I'm warning it may or may not contain SPOILERS:
I have to say I was seriously impressed with this new Pokemon game. I've been playing them since Gameboy Colour, and the last generation before Black & White just didn't seem to have much in the way of improvements or changes than the generation directly before it...but with Black, there was so many good new changes, improvements, additions, and a really good story that it seemed to bring back a "new-ness" the same way the Advanced generation seemed to. Black still has the same Pokemon-catching/battling system as before, but they've added unique battle modes like Triple Battles, and online battles against people from around the world.
One thing that was a huge improvement in my opinion was the way they revamped the TM/HM system. For all the "collector" types out there that like not just catching and keeping 1 of every Pokemon, but also want to always save a TM just in case you use it and then want/need it later - they've fixed that. Any TM you get, you can use over and over, just like an HM. Now the only difference is that HMs are still permanent, but TMs aren't, so you could (in theory) teach a move to a Pokemon just for a battle, then get rid of it when a new move comes in, and even give it back the same move later....Or teach several Pokemon the same move. Also, when it comes to HMs, it's great that for the most part, for most of the story you no longer have to always keep a couple extra Pokemon with you just to keep some who know a certain HM-move, or use up a slot on one of your main Pokemon's moves with an HM you may not like, because now (from what I've seen in the first 20 hours of the game so far) most of the HMs are used for kind of extra areas to get extra items, etc. - kind of like a side-quest or something.
So when it comes to going through the story, aside from the initial use of your first HM, you pretty much aren't forced to use any for at least a good chunk of the game unless you want to. Another thing is, is that the moves themselves have all been powered up quite a bit from what I can see, and the Types seem more balanced against each other now. (I know someone is probably going to disagree with me on that one, but it's "More" balanced, I'm not saying they weren't balanced before) This game feels like the player needs a bit more strategy to win, at least at the beginning, compared to the older games. Now back to the HM thing, because they aren't as important (dare I say, lol) the game seems much more progressive in a line, instead of going back and forth from places the older games in particular were known for. (Not saying you won't go back at all, but see for yourself :P) And on a final note, the fact that it moves forward like that seems to be because of an almost constant story-line, which I'm actually quite impressed about.
All in all, they stayed true to the core ideas, but aside from that - everything was an improvement! There's a lot more that they changed and added, and I'm still figuring out some of them! but these were my most favourite features. Hope someone finds this useful. :)
- Reviewed in Canada on August 19, 2024Verified PurchaseI get an error that says "The save data could not be accessed. Please turn the power off and reinsert the game card." Even after cleaning the cartridge, I cant launch the game. Very frustrated

-Updated/Added new features: day/night time cycles are back in game plus seasonal cycles with some pokemon changing appearances based on winter or other seasons.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2011Verified PurchaseNice game, simple, better visuals than previous Pokemon but could be prettier/smoother. Doesn't betray classic game play. I will continue to purchase games in the Pokemon series based on the game play from this game.
Game play is sexist and leans to conservative views. A game focused on meeting new people and understanding their points of view also focused on an ideology that the player's superiors/elders are right and everyone else is just a criminal or mistaken in their point of view. This is funny for an adult playing... but also kind of annoying.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2021Verified PurchaseGame works, no issues with packaging
- Reviewed in Canada on January 16, 2020Verified PurchaseJust got mine yesterday and the game is absolutely wonderful. They sent it in the wrong case, but left a cute apology note inside, of which me and my parents had a laugh about. There was also already save game data in which the protagonist was named Gucci. Five stars.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 20, 2020Verified PurchaseCame as intended. Looked like in pretty good condition. I got scared cause it just came as the cartridge itself without the tiny case that forces me to use a chisel and a hammer to open, but it was handled and packaged well. Works perfectly

5.0 out of 5 stars Pokemon returns to form
Verified PurchaseThis a a great return for pokemon. Previous games have felt a little lackluster, with too few new pokemon, too many water types, too many hms and uninteresting storylines.
Pokemon black and white addresses all these problems. The story is much more constant and interesting. All the gym leaders really feel like characters, you have up to three rivals who could challenge you at any time, and your ultimate rival is pretty interesting.
The game features 150 completely new pokemon, with the return of some old classics only once you beat the Elite Four (there are up to three cities available only after you bets the E4, so the game should have a long life).
My only gripe in this area is that the design of these pokemon seems a little dodgy compared to previous games. Some pokemon are awesome (Serperior, Hydreigon, Braviary), but there are waaay too many stupid pokmeon based on inanimate objects (there are even ice cream and chandelier pokemon for god's sake!). On the plus side though, water pokemon play a much more normal role in this game, and there are only two water hms, so you don't feel like you're having water types (which are personally my least favorite) forced down your throat.
The game looks great, there's a lot of 3D (and a lot of bridges), though the pokemon sprites could do with a bit of an update.
If you like pokemon, get this game, you wont regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pokemon Spiel auf English
Verified PurchaseIch spiele meine Pokemon Spiele lieber auf English. Bei den neuen 3DS Spielen, gibt es eine Sprachwahl, bei den DS Spielen muss man diese aus einem english Sprachigen Land importieren. Das Spiel ist natuerlich genau wie die deutsche (oder japanische) Version auch, nur eben auf English. Wer Pokemon mag und lieber auf English spielt sollte sich dieses kaufen. Vorallem ist hier weniger Problem als zum beispiel ein US import ueber Ebay oder so ...
