Pokémon Black is one of the best in the series. Very ambitious in terms of plot, monsters, and setting. Game Freak took a chance by keeping all catchable Pokémon in the first half of the game region exclusive. There is many different opinions on the monster designs, but I am a fan of many of them (Serperior, Chandelure, Volcarana...), and appreciate how this design choice makes for a unique adventure.

It's a good game, but has a hard playing of this game. Gym leaders in this game are hard to beat, but not too difficult to overcome. Has a good feeling of playing this game.

This game is peak Gamefreak design. Not is the story actually thought provoking, but it also doesn't grind the game to a halt. Plus it's got just enough exploration to keep you busy without being tedious to go back or find stuff. And the cherry on top? The game is challenging without being grindy and unfun. A shame the fans didn't like it, and now legit copies are priced like rare artifacts. But if you can get it at a good price I'd recommend it.

I first played pokemon on my gameboy back when Pokemon Yellow Version came out. Since then I have played Pokemon Diamond Version and looked into various other versions of the game. Pokemon Black is the latest edition with more of what you've come to expect from the series with some new additions. The characters, surroundings, and graphics as a whole are improved (especially if played on a newer DS, but look acceptable on an older model as well). No longer are the pokemon just static images during battles, they are now animated and react to certain battle situations (such as closing their eyes when put to sleep). The story is typical fare for the series, as your character (boy or girl) goes throughout the land collecting the new pokemon of the game and battling against the efforts of Team Plasma, a group out to liberate all pokemon by stealing them from their trainers. No real surprises here, though I'm only about ten hours into the game (a portion of which has been spent leveling as always). I have noticed the gym leaders play a more important role in assisting you in the story rather than simply standing around inside their respective gyms awaiting your challenge. If you haven't played a Pokemon game in a long time and want to or if you've played every one of them up to this point, you'll definitely want to get onboard with this game. There's a lot here for new players and more of what you enjoy for fans of the series. I personally care little about Pokemon lore, TV show, card games, and nor can I name all however many Pokemon this new game brings the total to, but as an RPG it provides a solid bit of exploration, discovery, level grinding, and battle customization that I can enjoy the game without any outside knowledge.Read full review
It was a 100% authentic cart of Generation V Pokemon Game Black. This is identifiable by the specific plastics used on genuine carts, and the way they react to direct light. Pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price for the game. Shipped quick with no hassle.
