Terrible game, I played an import...just...don't...bother. Most of the new pokemon are terrible and there's no nostalgia value because you can't get any old ones.

Game is improved in almost every way from previous ones.

Most would agree it's awesome that for the first time, starter areas have new Pokemon and aren't just tons of the same Zubat/Geodude every game had.

After beating the Elite Four, it unlocks some older Pokemon to start showing up in-game, and you can trade for the rest.

Question guys, which is easier to get items in. BLack City or White Forest.

I know you can buy them in the city so they are always there but they appear randomly in the forest for free.

Black City is probably easier/faster since you can just buy everything. White Forest is cheaper because the items all eventually show up as random drops for free, but it takes some time.

However, White Forest is better because you can catch Pokemon there that you can't anywhere else, while Black City just lets you fight trainers with rare Pokemon.

I think I want White Forest over Black City. Black City sounds awesome, but W.F sounds much more preferred.

I would love to get some Liquidians' friend codes. I've been looking out for an answer for this question, but can you get Zekrom and Reshiram in one game? And if you can, how?

I just started and beat my first gym leader.
I love how TMs are not infinite, thank God.

Isshu will never catch on (tissue?)... Kanto sounds the best.

So which one is better, Pokemon Black or Pokemon White? Even though it's all the same except for a few pokemon and the legendaries. So which legendary is the best?

Have to decide what to buy.

Abra is only catchable in white, legendaries don't even matter.

I'm really upset that I wasn't able to get the game before my 6 hour shift today, means I probably lose sleep tonight instead. I've heard this game could reach near 50+ hours of gameplay to complete the majority if not everything. Scary compared to being able to beat Red in like 9.

I got Drilbur :3

Excadrill is my favorite gen V Pokemon. Can't wait to get him.

This game is great, because I'm not just steamrolling over the story mode trainers. It's actually hard.

I'm not that far in the game, but is the fact that we're given almost everything early in the game normal because there's so much later on?

+ Show Spoiler +

What I meant to say is that we get a Free Pokemon, Running Shoes, Town Map, Daycare Center, Online/GTS capabilities/Pal Pad right after the first gym leader: is that because there's so much content throughout the game that they just sweep all the typical great crap at the beginning?
