Pokemon, the legend, the myth, reborn. Pokemon White was the start of a brand new adventure with brand new pokemon and none of the older ones present until you beat the game. This is a major plus for the game even though it may not seem like it. See brand new pokemon for the main story keeps the game fresh, with the reward being that you get to see the previous pokemon later. The story is a lot more interesting then in past entries but is still nothing to special. Triple battles and new abilities are a great new edition, and rotation battles are just awesome. There are still some annoying things like generation clones and certain ways to evolve pokemon. This game revitalized the series in a great way and is a must play for the DS.
THE GOOD: 1. nice gameplay editions like triple battles. 2. vastly improved graphics. 3. plenty to do after the main story. 4. new pokemon for the entire main story. 5. new pokemon are nicely done
THE BAD: 1. evolving pokemon by trading is and will always be stupid 2. generation clones (timburr is machop, trubbish is grimer) 3. story is nothing too special 4. second round elite 4 are too beefed up
