The next generation of Pokemon is here! The Black and White editions usher in the fifth generation of pokemon games, with a new region to get lost in and another ~150 pokemon to commit to memory. Oh, and of course all these newer pokemon rank from preciously cute to monstrously awesome. Even the graphics got an upgrade, allowing a third-person view at times that allow for amazing vistas even on my crappy, ancient DS screen.

| Thou shalt become the very best |
As always the game starts out with a pokemon professor introducing themselves, asking your name and your gender. You know, being a bigwig scientist and all they should be able tell what sex you are, damn it. Instead of naming your rival, you are introduced to your two friends, a competitive young chap named Cheren and Bianca, an adorably awkward lady friend. It will seem even newer when you first meet Team Plasma, a 16-bit PETA trying to reform the relationship between human and pokemon with methods taken out of Magneto’s playbook.
