About this product
Product Information
Pokémon Black is a Nintendo game developed by Game Freak. It is supported by both the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS systems. The release date for this Pokémon title was March 2011 in North America. It was also released alongside Pokémon White, a companion title. Both games are an RPG set in the Pokémon mythos. The main difference between Pokémon Black and Pokémon White is that each version has exclusive content. For instance, Black City is exclusive to the Black version, and White Forest is exclusive to the White version.As with most Pokémon games, Black has you play as a Pokémon trainer travelling through Unova. Unova is a Manhattan-inspired region inhabited by numerous Pokémon. The core gameplay of this game and the series is to catch Pokémon, train them, and battle against other trainers. As you win battles, you and the members of your team become increasingly more powerful. There is also the higher goal here of thwarting Team Plasma, a criminal organization that uses Pokémon for evil purposes.Although an RPG, the game is fairly linear. You travel from one story point to the next. Story points usually have a number of objectives to fulfill. In between these points, you'll engage in the activities common to games through the Pokémon series. It's worth noting that many story moments play out differently in each version. Big fans will undoubtedly want to experience both for the complete story. However, each edition tells the same core tale, so that isn't absolutely necessary.This video game is presented using an overhead, third-person view. The game contains three main screens: an overworld, a combat screen, and a menu. The overworld is a map that players use to navigate the land. The combat screen is where each battle is contested. The menu is where you adjust settings, organize your inventory, and manipulate your Pokémon roster. Configuring your equipment and roster is an important aspect of being successful in Pokémon games.Trainers capture Pokémon using Poké Balls. When a wild Pokémon is encountered, you'll automatically be challenged by another trainer. If you win, the wild Pokémon is added to your team. These creatures can earn XP, gain levels, and earn up to four moves. There are three types of moves: attack, healing, and status effect. Pokémon can also evolve. When those evolution conditions are met, your team member will change into something much stronger and more dangerous.Unique to the Black and White Pokémon video games is the Dream World. This mode provides some engaging features outside of the core game. One neat feature is the option to capture Pokémon and learn abilities that aren't present in this edition of the series. Another is the option to have other members of the community enter your Dream World and interact with it. There are also multiplayer side games that let you earn points. Those points can be used in the single-player mode to enhance your experience in a number of different ways. It also helps provide this content-packed adventure with a significant amount of replay value.Product Identifiers

Best DS Pokémon Gen
Pokémon Black is one of the best in the series. Very ambitious in terms of plot, monsters, and setting. Game Freak took a chance by keeping all catchable Pokémon in the first half of the game region exclusive. There is many different opinions on the monster designs, but I am a fan of many of them (Serperior, Chandelure, Volcarana...), and appreciate how this design choice makes for a unique adventure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pokémon Black Review
It's a good game, but has a hard playing of this game. Gym leaders in this game are hard to beat, but not too difficult to overcome. Has a good feeling of playing this game.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A hidden gem of a title
This game is peak Gamefreak design. Not is the story actually thought provoking, but it also doesn't grind the game to a halt. Plus it's got just enough exploration to keep you busy without being tedious to go back or find stuff. And the cherry on top? The game is challenging without being grindy and unfun. A shame the fans didn't like it, and now legit copies are priced like rare artifacts. But if you can get it at a good price I'd recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

It was real
It was a 100% authentic cart of Generation V Pokemon Game Black. This is identifiable by the specific plastics used on genuine carts, and the way they react to direct light. Pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price for the game. Shipped quick with no hassle.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Extremely Happy!
I bought this on impulse, not knowing whether or not it'll work. After receiving and putting it into my 3DS, the icon loaded up and the game runs smoothly! I'm so happy to have it since this was actually my favorite generation and I regretted not getting this version and it's sequel alongside my copies of White and White 2. I can't wait to play through it and relive my memories of playing this generation throughout high school.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sooo many things to do!
Pokemon Black is the best game of the Pokemon series of older games. There are so many things to do I have to keep notes. I have been playing Pokemon for 20 years and have always found the gym challenges too easy but in Black I was surprised when I almost couldn't beat the very 1st gym leader. Wow! Lots of new Pokemon too! I can't find anything bad to say about this game, it is hard to put it down. My housework keeps getting in the way of my game play!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Game!
The game plays beautifully and looks the part too! My copy also had a save file. The pokemon are safe and in the pokemon bank. No pokemon were hurt in the deletion of the file. Except a patrat.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
