That Pokemon has managed to maintain its fun and compelling nature for all these years is worth noting. Pokemon Black and White offer a rich Pokemon experience with gameplay that is, after all, well-loved; and with plenty to offer Pokefans both old and...

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...

Abstract: There're a hundred different ways to look at Pokémon Black/White. A large segment of the gaming population will undoubtedly view it as just a retread; a much smaller segment will view it strictly in terms of the new mechanics, and plenty more will be c...
