Pokemon Black Review

[UPDATE] We'll be adding to this review daily, so don't worry, it'll be more in depth!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gotta catch 'em all, or so they say. It's no secret, I'm a big Pokemon fan, and at 24 years of age, you'd think that  would have changed. But it hasn't.
Pokemon Black and White are not only the best in the series, they've reinvented it.

Don't get me wrong, you still play a young kid, you still choose a starter of the fire, water or grass type, and ultimately, you'll travel regions training until you can become the ultimate Pokemon master.
So what makes Black and White the best? Well, Game Freak have started over with this instalment, every single Pokemon is new, so veterans and newbies alike, are now on the same battle field. Also, you don't see a Zubat, so that's a kudos point already!

The main problem, though, is the Pokemon. They're not quite up there when it comes to the most loved of the series, but seeing as now, every Pokemon you encounter is brand new, you can forgive Game Freak, because it's all a new feeling, everyone starts at the bottom.

The Graphics are the best in the series, although they're using the same engine as the previous incarnations, the overall 3D effect is used much more abruptly, making buildings, bridges, even the ever changing weather stand out more.
There's the C-Gear, which is displayed on the lower screen and keeps on constant check on who's online, in which you can jump into battles and trades with people almost instantly, and it works surprisingly well.

And you know what? That's about it. I really wanted to go in depth with this review, but the truth is, I'm not that far into the game, so I'm still learning! But the key thing is, it's Pokemon. It's the same formular, but it's improved. If you're a die hard fan, you've probably already brought it, but if you're not a fan,this isn't going to sway you.

You're just going to miss out.
