Pokémon Black, developed by GameFreak and released in 2010, is one of the most iconic RPGs for the Nintendo DS. The game achieved remarkable success, selling 11.5 million copies in its first year and over 24 million in total, making it a standout title in the Pokémon series. Released alongside Pokémon White, Pokémon Black has gained a reputation for its unique roster and engaging plot, despite some fans’ mixed feelings about its departure from previous Pokémon generations.
Pokémon Black Gameplay Overview
Pokémon Black retains the core gameplay mechanics of the Pokémon series. Players begin by choosing one of two protagonists, Hilbert or Hilda, and embark on a quest to become a Pokémon Master. The starter Pokémon for this generation are Snivy (Grass-type), Tepig (Fire-type), and Oshawott (Water-type). Unlike previous games, players will face two rivals: Cheren, who always picks a Pokémon with a type advantage, and Bianca, who selects a Pokémon that is weaker to the player’s choice.
Set in the Unova region, inspired by New York City, the game challenges players to earn eight Gym Badges and defeat the Elite Four and the Champion. Players must also confront Team Plasma, a group with the radical goal of liberating Pokémon from trainers.
Main Characters
- Hilbert/Hilda: The main protagonists who live in Nuvema Town. Depending on the player’s choice, the opposite character becomes an NPC ally in the Battle Subway.
- Cheren: Hilbert/Hilda’s childhood friend and a knowledgeable Pokémon trainer. He always picks a Pokémon with a type advantage against the player.
- Bianca: Also a childhood friend, Bianca aspires to be a Pokémon scientist rather than a trainer. She chooses a Pokémon weak to the player’s starter.
- Professor Juniper: A Pokémon scientist who provides the player with their first Pokémon, a Pokédex, and instructions on capturing Pokémon.
- N: The misguided leader of Team Plasma, raised by Ghetsis to believe all Pokémon should be freed.
- Ghetsis: The true mastermind behind Team Plasma’s schemes, seeking to use the group to increase his own power.
- Alder: The Champion of Unova who provides guidance throughout the game.
