Reviews from

in the past


not a fan of how much of a straight line this one is, and i have very mixed feelings toward the metric tons of DS exclusive features it has that all became unusable after servers went down

This game does so many things so well, but i wanna praise the level design in particular. Progression feels natural and rewarding, but also; the map just feels alive? It feels natural? It makes sense and i really like that feeling. It's hard to make a world that feels cohesive and weirdly grounded with this type of perspective and visuals, but it conveys it so well.

It's just nice ain't it.

This is the last Pokémon game that felt like it had soul.

It improved on its predecessors mechanically wise, and genuinely tried to push the limits of the original DS hardware. This game was not better than Pearl/Diamond/Platinum when it came out-- but it aged better than Pearl/Diamond/Platinum.

Nothing on the DS took my breath away more than crossing the Skyarrow Bridge. Being a native New Yorker, it feels me with pride to see how much respect is given to Skyarrow Bridge (Brooklyn Bridge) and Castelia City (New York City)

The story actually tries to be interesting for a Pokémon game for once. This may not be the best Pokémon game in many people's eyes, but the love in making this game is there. It felt like this game was meant to be the last.

Gamefreak really tried.

Porfavor Pokémon vuelve :(. N probablemente será el mejor personaje de toda la saga por mucho tiempo, si no es que siempre. Equipo plasma sin rival. Musica de locos, y que bonito se ve. Lastima que esté basado en estados unidos. Lo unico es que si hay que grindear un poco

gamefreak decided to become good writers in gen 5 and then it sold like shit and had poor reception so they gave up

GooeyScale: 80/100


Black and Black 2 are the champions of the series for me. I thought the art style of 2.5D looked great in the game. The first time you cros the bridge and see a city with skyscrapers and actual people walking around was mind blowing. The story was super engaging and I loved the soft reboot of only having new Pokemon available. Including absolutely great designs like Ducklet-Swanna and Victini. They gave the games a damn difficulty slider and introduced the GTS. A fantastic gaming experience. Peak Pokemon

This game is one of the best entries in the Pokémon series. The pixel graphics reached their peak, the story is actually pretty good, and the new Pokémon are unique. Gen 5 doesn't have my favorite Pokémon, mechanics, etc. but this is still one of the best and is certainly in the top 5 best games of the franchise.

THE pokemon game, a total reboot from what we though the whole franchise would be, N is lowkey the best character from the whole saga and i'm not even kidding

Not my favourite game in the series, but deserves more love than it got. I'd give it a higher score, but this game is what got me into competitive pokemon, and that has given me an inability to ignore every goddamn number in this game

Look man, all I'm saying is that had Gen 5 had received a warmer reception, the Pokémon series would probably be in a better spot today.

O apíce do picomon (Depois disso foi só ladeira a baixo).
O jogo é pog em literalmente tudo:
Os iniciais são pog, a Pokedex é pog, os rivais são pog (destaque pra esses), os mapas são pog, os ginasios são pog, a trilha sonora é pog, os graficos misturando 3d com sprite são pogs, os lendarios são pog, os sprites animados dos picomons são os mais pog....

DAMN esse jogo é pog...

Um ótimo jogo, história incrível, um vilão grandioso e Unova com certeza é a minha região favorita. Maravilhoso.

They squeezed out every ounce of power the DS had for this game and it shows. It looks good, runs good. Black had interesting new Pokémon and a world that felt lived in. Story is bland but that's par for the course for a Pokémon game.

this game is so unbelievably good, and thats not even the nostalgia talking. i dont think pokemon games will ever reach the level of quality that was in the gen 5 games again.

Great addition to the franchise. The villains in this one are very understandable.

I'll never understand the people gassing this up, it is so forgettable it's embarrassing. I like the stupid little ass monkey tho, they're cute until they evolve!!

Peak Pokemon. GF will fuck up the remake.

j’ai pas peur de le DIRE JAI PAS PEUR

ill never forget the pure amazement i had as a kid arriving to castelia city for the first time

finally beat my save file i started like 2 years ago this game is awesome i forgot how abrutly it ends tho its kinda funny

Un poco las precuelas de Star Wars de los pokemon. La historia y personajes son muy interesantes y el gameplay intento muchas cosas pero en su momento la crítica fue horrible. Con el tiempo se está valorando más pero al final del día es un pokemon. De los mejores que se han hecho de la saga principal.

good af so far. im only on the early stages of the game but to make it just slightly harder for myself im only using my favorite pokemon from this gen, no exceptions

Starter discutable, mais quelle histoire ! et bonne région aussi !


My first pokemon game. Insane amounts of nostalgia

GameFreak was speakin to ME when they made this gen

I used to love the pokemon games as a kid. I was a giant shill for them, but now i find them real boring and they haven’t changed at all in the last twenty years. They’re fine games but boring
