{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White}}

'''Pokémon Black Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック''' ''Pocket Monsters Black'') and '''Pokémon White Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト''' ''Pocket Monsters White'') are the primary [[paired version]]s of [[Generation V]]. They are, like [[Generation IV]]'s games, on the [[Nintendo DS]].

Black and White follow the trends set up by previous games in the series. Two [[player character]]s (one male and one female) travel a new region, [[Isshu]], on their [[Pokémon journey]]s. This region is inhabited by various {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, almost all of which have not appeared prior to Black and White. The first of the new Pokémon to feature in these games, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, were revealed on February 10, 2010 in [[CoroCoro]] magazine, and the [[starter Pokémon]] were revealed in May.

The games' names were revealed on the official Japanese Pokémon website on April 9, and scans from the subsequent issue of the magazine were leaked on April 10. These scans revealed some of the graphical enhancements that will be featured in these games. There is a higher level of 3D graphics than in previous games, as shown in some shots of the overworld. Initial sprites can be seen for Zorua, Zoroark, and the [[player character]]s.

In addition to the improved graphics, a number of aesthetic changes have been made from previous generations, including an altered battle scene containing fully animated Pokémon battle sprites as well as a dynamic camera that changes focus to highlight specific parts of the battle. Also, when talking to people, {{wp|speech balloon}}s for dialog will appear over people's heads, rather than as simply a dialog box.

Black and White are compatible with all five [[Generation IV]] games through use of the [[PokéShifter]] - unlike [[Pal Park]], however, [[item]]s cannot be held by Pokémon being sent over. Pokémon can be sent from Generation III games, as well, by transfer through Generation IV. The games also have the capacity to connect to the {{wp|internet}}; players can upload their save file and play online.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game starts in [[Kanoko Town]] in the player's room with [[Cheren]], a childhood friend. [[Professor Araragi]] has left a gift box for the two and [[Bel]], another one of the player's friends, who arrives a little later. The box contains [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the player can choose from. After the selection, Bel will request a battle. When the battle is over, the room becomes cluttered due to the battle. Cheren heals both the player's and Bel's Pokémon, and begins a battle with the player as well. If the player loses to Cheren, he will gloat about his victory. The three then go downstairs, and Cheren and Bel will leave the house while the player's [[mom|mother]] will the Pokémon.

The player visits Bel's house, where she and her father are having an argument about her going on a Pokémon journey. Bel storms out of the house, and the player follows her to Professor Araragi's lab, where Cheren has been waiting. In the lab, Professor Araragi will give the player a chance to nickname the selected [[starter Pokémon]], and give each of the three a [[Pokédex]]. Upon leaving the lab, they will be greeted by the player's mother, who will hand everyone a [[Town Map]].

From then on, the player will set off on adventures through the Isshu region. Along the way, the player will battle eight [[Gym Leader]]s, while trying to complete the [[Pokédex]]. After managing to obtain all eight [[badge]]s, the player will head to the [[Pokémon League]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] and the Champion.

However, the adventure did not go as expected as the evil [[Team Plasma]] will be encountered along the way to the Pokémon League. The player will encounter [[N]], the leader of the evil organization. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Geechisu]], have a different goal than their leader. The player must thwart the plans of those two and save the Isshu region from being destroyed.

However, unlike previous games, the player will not be battling the Champion of the Isshu region when he first defeated the Elite Four; instead, [[N]] is battled. After defeating him, he promises not to separate the world into becoming black and white.

After the battle against N, however, the game is not over, as there are further activities to be done.



==Connectivity==
Much like its predecessors, Black and White allows players to connect to the previous generation of main series games. The [[PokéShifter]] feature, which is unlocked after defeating the Elite Four and [[Team Plasma]], allows players to send over their Pokémon through DS Download Play. Transferred Pokémon are captured through a mini-game different from the one present in Generation IV's [[Pal Park]].

==Features==
Black and White returns features present in previous generations, such as day, time, abilities and the split between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move]]s. Certain ones, however, such as [[walking Pokémon|Pokémon following their Trainers]], have been left out.

===C-Gear===
{{main|C-Gear}}
The C-Gear is the [[Pokétch]] of these games, with the only exception being it doesn't use applications. The C-Gear allows players to use certain multiplayer functions while anywhere in the game world.

===Pokémon Global Link===
{{main|Pokémon Global Link}}

====Pokémon Dream World====
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World is a special feature of Black and White which is operated via an Internet website, [http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ Pokémon-GL.com]. The Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website in a way such that it is a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

Many Pokémon that are found here are not found in the [[Isshu]] region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game to be used. All of the Pokémon available here are given Dream World-exclusive abilities that their species cannot have by normal means.

===High Link===
{{main|High Link}}

===Pokémon Musical===
{{main|Pokémon Musical}}
Pokémon Contests, which have been present since [[Generation III]], are replaced by Pokémon Musicals. Similar to Contests, however, players may dress up their Pokémon when participating.

===Seasons===
Much like [[Generation II]] introduced as system of time, Generation V features changes in seasons. Seasons change every month. With it comes aesthetic changes in the region, as well as some changes with the Pokémon found in the wild. Additionally, {{p|Shikijika}} and its evolution {{p|Mebukijika}} change forms every season.

===Sprite animations===
While already featured in previous games, Pokémon sprites in Black and White remain animated throughout the battle. Additionally, full back sprites are now present in the games. Some, but not all, Pokémon use animated versions of their [[Generation IV]] sprites. All Trainers, on the other hand, with the exception of [[Bel]], [[Cheren]] and [[N]], return to sprites with no animations.

===Triple Battles===

===Rotation Battles===

===New Gyms===
Pokémon Black and White brings back the traditional eight [[Gyms]], but with it a total of eleven [[Gym Leaders]]. They are [[Dent]], [[Pod]] and [[Corn]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively), [[Aloe]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Arti]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Kamitsure]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Yacon]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Fuuro]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Shaga]] and [[Iris]] ({{t|Dragon}}). Dent, Pod or Corn are battled if the player has chosen the {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}} or {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]], respectively. Shaga is battled in Pokémon Black while Iris is battled in Pokémon White.

===Elite Four===
Unlike previous games, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shikimi]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Giima]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}) and [[Renbu]] ({{t|Fighting}}). However, the player is not able to defeat the Champion before defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Later, after defeating them in a rematch, the player will face Champion [[Adeku]], who uses a variety of types. It should be noted that Caitlin is the same person present in the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)#Battle Castle|Battle Castle]] who was alongside her butler {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}.

===New Pokémon===
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Isshu Pokédex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]''
Black and White bring a total of 156 new Pokémon, bringing the overall total to 649 from the 493 present in Generation IV. While some new Pokémon may have similarities to previously introduced Pokémon, none of the new Pokémon are related to any of the 493.

The first Pokémon to be revealed are {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, who were both featured in the [[M13|thirteenth Pokémon movie]]. Unlike previous generations, no other new Pokémon were featured in the anime.

I've beaten Cynthia and now I got the national pokedex!

I love Pokémon a whole lot, and even though the new Pokémon Gold and Silver remake's are coming out next year,
I'm still really '''''REALLY''''' exited!

''Anyway''...
I have four favourite Pokémon, and they are the 'Pikachu's' of the regions Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh! (I don't classify Pichu By the way)

They are:
Pikachu,
Plusle,
Minun
and
Pachirisu!

I have many other favourite's '''but''' these are my four 'main' favourites, If you know what I mean...!

These are the games I have.
Some of the ones I bought are fake copies of real games, like my Pokémon emerald.
Fake games will be '''BOLD'''.
Real games will be normal writing like this.

Pokémon Crystal,
'''Pokémon Sapphire''',
'''Pokémon LeafGreen''',
'''Pokémon Emerald''',
Pokémon Diamond,
Pokémon Pearl
and...
Pokémon Platinum!

I want to get SoulSilver when It comes out in the UK!
You may not have noticed, but I prefer the 2nd and 3rd versions of games!

This user is a player of Pokémon Crystal Version
