About Pokémon: Black & White

If you are hunting for a new action series, Pokémon: Black & White (Pokemon Best Wishes!) deserves a look (2010). The setup goes like this. The premise: As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes! series kicks off with only Satoshi, headed off to the Isshu region, located far away from Kanto, Johto, Houen, and Sinnoh, with his Pikachu. After he crosses paths with up with the new trainer and rival Shooty and the region's Professor Araragi, he gains traveling companions in Iris, a girl from a town known for its Dragon Pokémon, and Dent.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight.

If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by OLM, so the studio's house style defines how Pokémon: Black & White looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.4/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. It aired in 2010, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
