The fact that Game Freak dared to remove all the old pokémons from the main story line and replace them with 156 new ones is only one of the reasons for the series feeling fresher than ever. Pokémon Black and White is the most entertaining game yet, and is a must-buy for all Nintendo DS owners.

Pokémon Black and White is the pokémon experience you've been waiting for since Gold and Silver. Astonishing.

J'adore la licence pokemon mais depuis la 6G la 3d est devenu le point faible et leur jeu ne sont plus assez travaillé, acose de the pokemon company game freak n'est plus dans les temps et prennent pas assez de temps pour configurer les nouveaux jeu, cela m'attriste beaucoup car si il pouvait prendre 2ans au moins sans sortir de spin off ou de remake , leur jeu serait a nouveau au prime !S'il vous plaît game freak prenez votre temps pour nous sortir ses merveilles jeu pokemon et vous pouvez les remettre en 2D.5 personne ne sera contre vous sauf les enfants qui ont connu que la 7-8-9g.... vraiment ça serait magnifique et COMPLET pas comme le sud de Champs

Pokémon Black & White are again the strongest additions to the series to date. Game Freak has succeeded once again in creating an even better Pokémon title than all previous iterations and has created another true Pokémon reboot.

Of course there's a lot that's the same. Of course there is. But with a great many small and well-placed innovations, a vivacious, inventive new cast and the biggest cosmetic makeover the series has ever seen, Pokémon Black and White makes it all feel new again. It reminds you what there was to love about Pokémon in the first place – and perhaps we all needed reminding.

Without a doubt, the raft of online features elevates Black and White to the height of pre-3DS Pokémon greatness. This is the biggest game in the series, and brings a wealth of tertiary additions that fans have been asking for.

If you are brand new to the Pokémon series, you are going to find Pokémon Black to be an incredibly involving RPG and darn entertaining if you enjoy the genre. It's definitely worth checking out and will probably keep you entertained up until the launch of the 3DS later this month.

In the end, the real question is whether Pokémon Black offers enough spark to justify buying another Pokémon game. True believers have purchased it already, and the vocal haters will continue their hating despite this review's best efforts. For everyone who's left, the answer is a solid maybe.

Best Pokemon game, and most replayable in the series by far. Game is my childhood and love how you can only catch the gen 5 pokemons.

My favourite installment in the Pokémon series. Also the one I replayed the most.

Très sympa. C'est un Pokémon classique mais un Pokémon est toujours sympa et amusant au point que je pourrais presque mettre le même commentaire à tous les Pokémons.

This an BORING GAME! B2W2 is so much better. The progeinsoions is so slow. The fire starter ****, the anime ****, this ****. Pokemon black is not a good game, probaly one of the worst. 4/10, and B2W2 is a 10/10

Was not a fan and made me kinda drop pokemon entirely for a while. Nothing memorable.
