Pokemon Black 2 DS

Pokmon Black 2 is the eagerly awaited sequel to its critically acclaimed and widely favourably received prequel Pokmon Black, which was released in 2011. Both Pokmon Black 2 and its partner Pokmon White 2 are both developed by Game Freak, and released exclusively for the Nintendo DS handheld system. Pokmon is the cult media franchise phenomenon that has swept the globe since 1996, when it was originally created by Satoshi Tajiri, with the games of Pokmon Black and White being the fifth generation of Pokmon to date. The game is set two years after the events of Pokmon Black, and stays true to its tried and tested formula of protagonist (given a choice between a brand new male or female character), protagonist’s best friend, and antagonist. Set once again in the region of Unova, from the get go its apparent that a great deal has changed in these two short years, with areas of it puzzlingly covered in thick ice. The game boasts a total of 300 Pokmon from the start, including the new Black Kyurem Pokmon, and introduces a new string of Gyms and Gym Leaders, set in ascending order of strength so as to best test your team.
