Pokemon Black - DS Game (Retro Fam)

Came with its box which was new and came earlier than expected. Though it did have a previous load on it, it wasn't an issue to delete it and start a new game.

I haven't played Pokemon since I was a sixth grader, when Red and Blue just came out in the states. So, I've been gone awhile. The new generation of Pokemon is a great place to return to the series. As with the original, I'm kind of a completetionist when it comes to getting all 153 of the new Pokemon. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible, as a couple are only able to be acquired through various events that are now over. This is also the case with the National Pokedex, which involves collecting all 600+ from all generations of the game (many are event only Pokemon, including Mew, Celebii, etc, and are impossible to get now unless someone trades them to you, which is unlikely).So, if you are a completionist, don't bother. It's a nearly impossible task that will drive you crazy.Also, if you haven't played since Red/Blue/Yellow, you'll learn about all the new features that are in the series. Breeding Pokemon so they are as powerful and unique as possible, effort value training (effort values are abstract numbers not viewable in the game that you get by battling pokemon and dictate the stat gains of your pokemon as they level up), ability selection, etc. So be warned, Pokemon has gotten rich and complex, so much so that this clearly isn't a game that is "just for kids".The series sure has come a long way. Graphically, the series is updated with 3d graphics on the overworld, and battles that include sprites that continuously move, a camera that zooms in on the action, and dynami.

He seems to like playing this game of Pokemon-Black Version. So glad I can go online and purchased gifts and items I need without the shopping.

Love it!

wonderful thank you !
