Very good review and i agree with nearly all of it. Overall it is a very good game but I believe there are quite a few bad points:

> The music - as soon as you turn it on, especially the intro, the music is pretty crap, compared to platinum (which I think had the best music).

> No constant run!

You have to hold B for nearly the entire time you're playing (until you get the bike that is)

> Enemy plot isn't that as good (although, i'm only just past 4th gym)

> When you open your bag it closes whatever registered item you're using (e.g. Dowsing machine)

> C-Gear should be a key item or similar as it has too much prominence (especially if you have no friends with you or wi-fi connection makes it useless - my favorite use of touch screen so far is Poketch in D/P/Pl)


Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing game, best in series so far IMO, I was just highlighting some of the bad points.
Just wondering...have you ever played any Pokemon games besides D/P/Pl/B/W? The statement about the music makes me wonder otherwise so I'm a little curious.

But I will agree with you on the constant run. I don't see why they didn't just bring it over from HGSS (which IMO had the most convenient use of the touchscreen)

Sorry, with the music i meant the intro, not gameplay, i feel that it's just not as exciting as the others. And yes, i've played Leaf Green, Emerald, HG. SS and part of ruby.

I couldn't disagree more.

Off topic, Ds games can be as small as about 2mb (Flips series)

But this game is great! (WTB, but no money)

Pirated it, having great time!!

Thanks for review, convinced me to play thru again in English (5th time)

Nice review! I love this game so much!!! I've played every single Pokemon RPG to date, and this is by far my favorite one. It used to be Gold/HeartGold, but this took the place.

Anyone interested in battling or trading? PM if you are.

So do you need the IR chip to battle and trade, or does it simply speed up the process?

It enables faster close ranged transfer and vs battles AFAIK. Haven't been able to test since my friend hasn't received his White yet..

This is an awesome review. I'm considering trying to play Pokemon Black again. I quit after the first gym, but maybe that was just because it was all moonspeak from there

As you proceed through the game, you will notice a variety of new Pokémon. Gamefreak made it so that you wouldn't encounter any of the Pokemon from previous regions so as to make the game feel fresh. That works pretty well up to a point. Some of the Pokemon in the game look downright horrible (eg. Trubbish) when compared to the Pokémon of previous generations. Other Pokemon like Serperior and Haxorus look great.
Not only were the Japanese artists lazy, but apparently so were the English namers.

I honestly think the music in Black and white is some of the best in the series .......Driftveil City's theme is one of my favorite songs in the series (perhaps being beaten by the original lavender town theme)

i hate you for posting the Elite Four's song :| i had to get the soundtrack and listen to the rest.
gen 5 music is the best i have heard for pokemon.

and i have yet to get around to actually hard-core playing this game.

Edit: the songs i think are the best are
Battle! Elite Four - Battle! Reshiram, Zekrom - Battle! Roaming Legendary Pokémon - Battle! Team Plasma - Ending Credits - Liberty Garden Tower.
