Pokemon Black Review

Oh yeh right, with your level 80 squad against my level 22 Pidgeotto replacement. Unless I storm through the gyms and import my Soul Silver and Pearl squads, but then I wouldn't be able to trade them back /o\

Ah, good spot.

I figured once I'd downed the Elite Four for the second time I'd probably be happy putting a review live. Obviously it's a game that you can pour hundreds of hours into (I put well over 500 into the original Gold and Silver) -- but you have to draw the line somewhere. I've seen most of what there is to see now, though, and am looking forward to giving you guys a battle or two after launch.

If I buy this it will be because of the post-game, which is usually quite dry and not tied together well enough to be interesting. It looks like the extra story arc might help this, but I'd still rather have a series of extended side quests to go on.

I still have Soul Silver in my DS right now, and I'm not done with it. I guess that's the problem with Pokemon, in that the series has been brilliant for so long that it's difficult to justify investing in the next one. Unless it's in 3D n_n
