Long time no blog!
So yeah, I “finished” the postgame of Pokemon a while ago. I wouldn’t really call it finished as much as significantly complete. At least until Infinite Space came into my life (more on that later).
So, the postgame. I’d describe it as being significantly large. It’s non-linear, like HG/SS’s postgame. The levels jump up to about 65 from the level 53 highest in the elite four. It made me really confused, like I’d forgotten something. You also have to find six of the seven sages scattered throughout.
So it’s not QUITE as big a postgame area as HG/SS, but it’s ok. Marvelous Bridge is ok, and Village Bridge would easily have the best music in the game (without the weird old man singing). I challenged the elite four again, and this time actually beat the champion and entered into the hall of fame. I haven’t caught all the postgame legendaries, or experienced more than winter and autumn in the game. It’s a decent postgame in summary. Oh, and Looker (from Platinum) and Cynthia make a cameo appearance (Cynthia is hard to beat!).
In summary throughout the many parts of my Pokemon Black review. It’s a good game. The new pokemon (although weird) and region are a welcome change, the new graphics are insane (I mean, Castelia City, come on) and the (again weird) storyline make this a must have for any DS owner.
PS: I’ve used the Entralink and Pokemon Global Link now. The Entralink hardly compares to the brilliant underground mode of Pearl/Diamond. I feel like a 5 year old when I use Global Link. I haven’t, and won’ be using it again- it’s very insulting.
