Pokémon Black Version
© 2011 Nintendo of America
Pokémon fans rejoice... the legacy continues, with two more well designed adventures: Black and White. The design is familiar, but there is a new story, better animation, a three-on-three player battle system and new game sharing features, not to mention 150 new Pokémon Both Black and White share a nearly identical design, but offer different areas to explore. This version features a metropolitan area called Black City. Sharing features let you save game information to a remote server (in the cloud), making it easier to trade information with other players. When playing locally, you can also connect via video chat using the system's camera. The main drawback? Just one game per cartridge, making this a hard game to circulate in a library.
