Pokemon White/Black

     I finally got around to giving this game a go, and let me tell you, what a game it is. I've always loved Pokemon games, and they always seem to get better every game Nintendo releases. Black and White are no exception to this. There are great 3-D effects when just walking through cities and across bridges. One of the first bridges you come across is beautiful. It goes across a river, and cars and lorries drive under you as you walk. The game itself offers a tonne of content, on a small cartridge, which is something I love about DS games in general. No disks, just small cartridges.
     They've started giving you two rivals, up from one. One chooses the Pokemon naturally weaker than yours, the other stronger. For those who don't know what they are, Pokemon are basically animal-based beings that people called Pokemon trainers battle and trade with each other. Battling is something you'll often do, whether it be against the ones programmed in the game, or against other friends across the world.  It crosses quite a few genres. Strategy, RPG, puzzle. It sort of bridges the gap between the three.
      These games had taken up most of my childhood. I recall playing them with my friends in school, playing them at home, playing them on my way to and from places. It's appropriate in most places. They're such amazing and addicting games, you can challenge yourself through playing and attempting to defeat or explore the possibilities within them. Because they're endless.
