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
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.
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
j’ai pas peur de le DIRE JAI PAS PEUR
Peak Pokemon. GF will fuck up the remake.
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!!
Great addition to the franchise. The villains in this one are very understandable.
Is the best entry on the pre-3D era, great story, the most worked gameplay and graphics that still fell great
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.
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.
É muito bom, acaba sendo ofuscado pela sequência, porém mesmo com isso é uma das melhores experiências que se pode ter jogando Pokémon
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.
HEAVY HEAVY METAL
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.
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.
Yeah.
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
gamefreak decided to become good writers in gen 5 and then it sold like shit and had poor reception so they gave up

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
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.

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.

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
Muy chulo pero, a pesar de contar con una región llena de sitios interesantes y detallitos, y en general zonas y rutas preciosas y diversas, su linearidad le juega MUY en contra. Teselia parece un parque temático de sí misma, y yo no me siento en una aventura. Además los personajes son unos chapas.
I once traded this copy with NSMB, worst mistake of my life
best gen
valorant players would've hated black version because of unspecified reasons
Rip champion battle.
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 .
N MY GOAT
i like it.
