Paid Members FLips Posted February 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 Been playing Black for a few days now and it's a mixed bag. It has a load of new features that will no doubt excite people, and an entirely exclusive new pokedex. It looks fantastic in some places too. A few problems though include a lot of the new pokemon being rubbish, or clones (such as the one that looks exactly like Bidoof, the Tauros with an Afro and the Furry Zubat) and because there's no familiar faces around it's taking a while to understand how the new ones work. The storyline being pretty much exactly the same as the last games (new trainer starting, mum and professor look after you, evil team show up out of nowhere causing trouble, catch em all), and once you look past the snazzy new graphics you realise the game is the exact same as every other game. I'm only 3 or 4 badges in so far, so it could pick up. The last town I was in was full of skyscrapers and at first is breath-taking, but there is literally nothing in it. It's a load of empty offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members swiftstrike Posted February 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 have you got an advance British/American copy then or is this from the Japanese game. Â Exdrill, Ferrothorn, Braviary, Zoroark, Krookodile, all look interesting, but it seems that a lot of the better stuff happens later in the game and the difficult pitches up hard towards the end with lots of late evolvers from what I have been reading.

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted January 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm very late to the party, but have just started playing black on the DS after not playing any of the games since Pokemon Yellow (with Red before it). Whilst it is generically this same, the game has gone very up market since i last played with cool little intro's and millions of new Pokemon. Â Will keep my eyes open for the new games!

Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 Great news, was a bit miffed that they brought out Black & White 2 for just DS platform a good 18 months or so after the 3DS came out. Â I'm same as neil's bitch- just started playing Pokemon White. It's alright, but surprisingly the last generation (Diamond & Pearl) was much better. The touch-screen assistant where you can add loads of 'apps' was brilliant, but that's been replaced with some online play thing. And there is far too much cut-scene stuff. Well not cut-scene, but you know what I mean- standing around and chatting with the latest Team Rocket and other adventurers you start the game alongside.

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted January 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 Agree on the "to much talking thing", I've not played it much, but about 55% has been spent talking to random people, or being forced into talking to a specific person for about 5 minutes. Â Still going well though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 Talking to random trainers or people out of choice is fine, I make a point of doing that with everyone anyway to pick up items and battle everyone to train my pokemon. But the being forced into speaking with people has gone mental this time. The whole Team Plasma storyline, former champion helping you out, the gym leaders coming together...meh. Go away and let me raise my pokemon so I can challenge the Elite 4. As usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 YES! Â Rather glad I got a 3DS for Christmas. Cant wait, I've still toget Black/White 2 but loved Pokemon White. it really is about time we got a 3D adventure. Hope Pokemon Snap gets a re-release too around the same time on eshop or something.

Paid Members JLM Posted January 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 Honestly I'd have been happy with a remake of R/S/E because I'd love to play through my GBA version again but it's spoiled by the improved functionality of the later games. This, though, this is much better. I want a Froakie right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfan11 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Interested in X and Y, the 3D battles look good but I kinda have got bored of the main series, I completed White but it was as engaging as playing Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver was when I was younger, so I'm hope they try freshen the games up more in X and Y.
