In all there are 17 Pokémon types including Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Steel. Each Pokémon has either one or two types. The following are the six available Hidden Machines and the two Technical Machines that provide assistance on the field in addition to battle:Ĭuts down miniature trees blocking passage ways.Īllows the user to travel to cities they've already visited.Īllows the user to move large boulders blocking their way.Īllows users to travel up and down waterfalls.Īllows the user to escape a cave without using an Escape Rope.Īll Pokémon have the capability to battle with one another. Some of them are required in order to progress through the game (such as HM01: Cut) while others are merely optional, such as TM28 Dig. There are nine battle moves that can also be used on the field. There are several different types of abilities in the game, each having a different effect such as Levitate, which is often given to Electric-type Pokémon and prevents them from being harmed by Ground-type moves. Pokémon have special abilities that assist them in battle or on the field. Pokémon from other generations can also be found in the game's Dream World and in White Forest (present only in Pokémon White Version). Some Pokémon from previous games available in the wild in Black and White have never been available in the wild before (they could only be obtained through evolution or through a trade) such as the powerful Tyranitar, Dragonite, and Milotic. Other ways a player can evolve a Pokémon is by trading it with another Trainer, using stones, enhancing the friendship of the Pokémon with the Trainer, and so on.Īfter the game is completed, Pokémon from previous generations will start to appear. Some Pokémon will evolve by leveling up as well. New attacks and moves can be learned by leveling up, using a Technical Machine or Hidden Machine, or having an NPC teach them a move. The higher the level of an opposing Pokémon is the more experience the user's Pokémon will receive. Once it gains enough Experience Points, the Pokémon will level up and its statistics will increase (HP, attack, special attack, defense, special defense, and speed). A Pokémon gains Experience Points by battling or by carrying an Experience Share (a held item that gives Pokémon experience points even if they have not partook in a battle). Once a Pokémon has been caught, they can be trained and leveled up. The Great Ball, for example, has a higher chance of capturing a Pokémon than a standard Poké Ball while the Dusk Ball works particularly well in caves and at night.

There are 14 different types of Poké Balls in the game, each with different effects. Imposing a status condition upon a Pokémon will also improve the chances of capturing a Pokémon. To catch a Pokémon, players must reduce the opposing Pokémon's HP and toss a Poké Ball at it. In the wild, Pokémon can be found in tall grass, in wetlands, in caves, in deserts, and on or in the water. Other Pokémon can be obtained by battling them in the wild and using a Poké Ball to capture them, trading Pokémon with a friend or with someone online via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, getting them through a story event, or evolving them (which produces a new species of Pokémon). In the beginning of the game, the player can choose one of three different species of Starter Pokémon, which are Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. Players can capture Pokémon through various different means. Pokémon White and Black introduce 156 new Pokémon species to the series, more than any other game preceding it (including the original titles). In a battle with a Trainer, the battle ends when either all of the opposing Trainer's Pokémon get knocked out or when all of the player's Pokémon get knocked out. In the wild, a battle is finished when the opposing Pokémon gets knocked out or when all of the player's Pokémon get knocked out. The player is then required to select commands for the Pokémon such as battling or using an item.

When a battle starts, the first Pokémon in the player's inventory (the player can have up to six Pokémon at once, though can store the rest in a PC to use for later) is sent out (in double or triple battles, the next Pokémon in line are sent out with it). Battles in the game are turn based and involve the player's Pokémon. The player can obtain additional Pokémon by capturing them in the wild or getting them through a trade. Of the three available, they are only allowed to choose one. In the beginning of the game, the character will come in possession of a Starter Pokémon. On the way, they will be able to acquire Pokémon through various different means. The player chooses either a boy or a girl and sets off on their adventure.
