While die-hards might still prefer the more expert-friendly features of Heart Gold and Soul Silver, the fresh approach and fiercely impressive visuals, hung over a tried and true frame of addictive, highly nuanced battle and customisation, make Pokémon...
Pokemon Black and White 2 feel more like an expansion pack than a new game in the series. If Nintendo was a big player in the DLC market, this game could have easily been an add-on for the original Black and White games. While it's cool to see the Unova...
Abstract: Pokemon Black/White for the Nintendo DS are games that nary need an introduction. We were first introduced to Pikachu and pals in 1998, and the series has been a staple on Nintendo handhelds ever since. Pokemon Black/White bring numerous changes to the...
Abstract: It has been four years since the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl, and during the interim, Pokémon fans have longed for the introduction of the fifth generation of Pocket Monsters. Numerous remakes have been released in the span of those fo...

Brandnew Pokemon roster; easy adhoc methods for trading and battles; excellent soundtrack; streamlined game mechanics; singleplayer campaign boasts refreshing content at every turn for both new and old fans; as usual, the unique battle system and explorationbased gameplay continues to be a country mile (or two) ahead of other RPGs.
Not very challenging; alltoofamiliar narrative largely sticks to the same old series formula; pixelated graphics need some refinement; no Pokewalker compatibility; a number of new Pokemon designs are just outright hideous; triple and rotational battles are woefully underused.
