The Unova/Isshu region is one unlike any other in the Pokemon world. The big twist is apparent in the beginning, there are no Pokemon native to other regions! All of Unova's Pokemon are native, thus allowing the player to feel like a beginner once more, learning these new Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses. I bought this game because I have been playing since the days of Yellow and haven't stopped yet. Gamefreak and Nintendo have continued making games that adapt with the players and technology. Pokemon White (and it's counterpart Pokemon Black) fully utilize 3D graphics, giving Pokemon a more realistic feeling. With changes to the game's mechanics, including Triple and Rotation Battles, this game is everything a fan could dream. However, with the pros also come a few cons, however the list is short. This game appears to be missing some key parts missed by players. Most noticeable is the lack of Battle Tower/Frontier. There are also no contests, only Musicals. Smaller aspects include no VS. Seeker or Gym Leader Rematches. Overall, the game is a refreshing change from the Sinnoh region and has great potential It is currently a favorite of mine.Read full review
This game is a great first impression for someone who has never played a Pokèmon game. Not only is it a good Pokèmon game, but a really good RPG. As someone who has only played the gen 4, 5, and 6 games this generation of pokemon has the best story of any of the games that I have personally played. So if you're looking for a compelling story, and likable characters, then this game is for you. There is really not much to say in the gameplay, it's fast and engaging, your standard for these games. And, if you haven't given this franchise a try, then this game is a great place to start. I would give it a 10/10, truly an incredible game.

I have my problems with generation 5, a lot of them really. But I would be lying if I said these were bad Pokemon games. Sun and Moon, LGPE and now almost certainly SWSH are bad games. The good: The difficulty of the games is a refreshing change of pace from most Pokemon games. BW aren't particularily hard, but the npcs do use more stratergy than spam reflect and light-screen and damage moves, so thats a plus. Seasons are very cool ways to remix the region's visuals over time, making the place feel much more alive. Some would say the story is good, frankly it's just fine. Hilbert and Hilda are some of the best (if not the best) looking MCs in core Pokemon Sprites are very good looking and the battle engine is quick, so is map traversal. The bad: Who in their right mind though the new EXP system was a good idea. Seriously, at least there is Audino farming that can be done so it's already better than Sun and Moon which have this exp system but not farming methods. Christ. Most of the new designs are terribad and all the cool mons are late game evolutions or post game content. Too much dialogue, but then again Sun and Moon exist... double Christ. Who again in their right mind thought that not having any previous gen mons for the main campaign was a good idea?! Some of the replacement mons are just worse versions of the older mons. Anyways yeah this is a 7.5/10 game. Buy BW2 instead if you just want a gen 5 game. (I hate Nate's hair so much, god forgive me for I will strike down whoever made that f*ing character design) Read full review

The game came earlier than the listed day! The only gripe I have is that my 3DS doesn't always recognize the game chip, which I'm not sure if it's my end or the game's. I can get it to work, but it takes a few tries to recognize! Other than that I'm pleased!

If you are a fan of Pokémon or at least just the games,you'll like this game for sure especially if you've played the other ones.Even for those who are new to it and will start off with playing this one first,you'll most likely enjoy it.It's worth a try.It's a good game but when you complete the story and capture the majority or all of the Pokémon,the game might become boring to you as there's not much left to do and accomplish.Your only options would be to restart your progress to play through it again or to leave it as is and move onto the next game you choose to play.But that's pretty much the same case for all of these games.It's still worth playing through it though.(In my opinion at least)
