  • Pokemon Black - Aren't fads supposed to die out?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 6, 2012
    Pros: all new pokemon and region, animations, actual story
    Cons: your Pokemon STILL look like a big blur during battle.. really not much

    Summary: What once was thought of as a fad amongst the world and targeted toward younger gamers, Pokemon has really taken the world by storm.  The Pokemania phase has come and gone, but the series itself is still alive and well across multiple platforms like ... read more

    Summary: Pokemon Black Version for DS is a decent addition to the line of Pokemon games. The game designers have added many new features to this game as well. The effects during the battle are a nice addition to the game. The pokemon are given unique greeting ... read more

  • Pokemon: Black Version: - The High Point of the Pocket Monsters Saga

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 7, 2012
    Pros: Interesting Environments to Explore, Many Streamlined Aspects From Past Games, Fun Gameplay
    Cons: Dull Graphics and Sound, Not as Big an 'Evolution' as I Hoped For

    Summary: It's funny to look back and consider that Pokemon was once considered a fad. What was one of the biggest video game phenomenons out of the gate has devolved to being merely the most popular Japanese role playing game series in the world. I say merely, ... read more

    Pros: Look at main text field for the pro and con list.
    Cons: Look at main text field for the pro and con list.

    Summary: I purchased Pokemon Black on it's release date. Honestly, it was very fun. I am seeing a lot of harsh reviews and wondering how people think that, but it really depends on how into Pokemon you are. For a total Pokemon geek, you will notice that some ... read more

    Pros: Elite four is tougher, Story is more involved, Smooth gameplay, Extremely fun
    Cons: Ugly, unimaginative new pokemon, Forgettable music, Boring towns/cities, Slight graphical errors

    Summary: Well since the days of gold, silver, and crystal versions many fans including myself have been thinking that Pokemon would never get any better.  Ruby and Sapphire were letdowns, diamond and pearl were pretty much losses...then I bought Pokemon ... read more

    Pros: Has all of the solid fundamentals of every other Pokemon game but with a facelift.
    Cons: Didn't I play this same game thirteen years ago?

    Summary: It was 1998 when I had my first experience with Pokemon.  It was that year that I got one of the original two Pokemon games, Pokemon Red.  I enjoyed the game well enough, the monster collecting and battling game were quite addicting and ... read more

    Pros: *Great new graphics and battle-animations.
    *If you're new to-Pokemon, Black's a good place to start,
    Cons: *Gameplay needs to change at least a bit,
    *Not much end game content,

    Summary: Pokemon Black is set in the Unova Region, where the number of pokemon has increased from 493, to 649. The gameplay hasn't changed much since the first one came out, but the story and strategy involved alone are enough to make anyone come back for more.

    Story
    Camera angles used to show 3-D effects on bridges

    Cons: Some newer Pokemon
    Kind of annoying rivals
    Not much to do after main story

    Summary: Pokemon Black when it was first released I had some mixes emotions about.  Mostly with the fact that I didn't like the designs of the pokemon. I did eventually end up getting this for my birthday being the hardcore pokemon fan I am, and it surprised

    Pros: Perspective
    Game Play
    Cons: Goal of the game

    Summary: This Pokemon game is just the usual thing you would expect. The only change that happened is the view of the surroundings. The perspective of the screen changes at specific places. Battling is just the same but the moves of different attacks changed
