The alien vibe of Black/White really stood out to me when these games came out. This was also the generation where I first noticed that competitive Pokemon was a thing that existed, and though I didn't get into it myself, it was fun to watch people who did get into it.

A review of Black/White wouldn't be complete without mentioning the obvious... yes, the story is quite compelling. I like N a lot as a character. The battle themes are very good in this game, especially the general legendary theme. Also, Volcarona is one of the best Pokemon to ever exist.
