    The small tweaks in Pokemon Black, such as the improved visuals, new battle modes, and enhanced online features, go some way toward making it feel like a new experience, but it's difficult to shake the feeling that this is the same game that's been released countless times before. And yet, underneath the formulaic narrative lies a deep and engaging RPG. Read more

    • Charming visuals, Engrossing battle system, Collecting Pokemon is incredibly addictive.
    • It's the same Pokemon formula you've seen before.

    The pokemon games seem to be getting better and better. I would recommend this game to anyone. It's fairly easy to pass, but very fun. Can't wait to see what they will bring out next! Great service from Big W too by the way. Read more

    I remember the year 1998. I was young and naive, combing through my local Toys R Us store, contemplating what I was going to experience if I found the awesome new game I had heard all about. The original Pokemon Blue version, which totally blew me away. So much so that I, even now to this day still like to insert the old and dusty cartridge into my ancient Gameboy Pocket. Read more

    • Multi-Player is improved, Sound is always good
    • Same premise, Visuals can be lacking
