Redefining the Pokemon series, Pokemon: White Version offer fans and newcomers alike a completely new adventure to discover and enjoy. And for the first time ever in the series, the two games feature their own individual areas to explore. Set in the Unova region, which is located far away from the Kanto and Johto regions Pokemon fans will be familiar with, both games also feature all new action-packed locations, such as the bustling urban environment of Castelia City

Pokemon: White Version also mark the first time in the Pokemon series that the seasons will change in the game world. The result sees specific Pokemon appearing more frequently during particular seasons and also changing in colour or form. Furthermore, players can only access some areas during a specific season.

As if that wasn't enough, players will also encounter more than 150 never-seen-before Pokemon, some of which can only be caught in each version of the game. At the start of the game, players can choose between new, older boy and girl Trainers, as well as from three new starter Pokemon - a Grass-type Pokemon, Snivy, a Fire-type Pokemon, Tepig or, a Water-type Pokemon, Oshawott - before departing on their adventure with two childhood friends.

In Pokemon: White Version the player is tasked with completing two quests. One is to complete the Unova Pokedex by finding and catching every Pokemon in the region - however, in order to fully complete the Unova Pokedex, players will need to trade Pokemon between both versions. The other is to become the Pokemon League Champion by battling with wild Pokemon and other Trainers in the region. Players will train their Pokemon with the ultimate goal of taking on the Elite Four and the Unova Champion! Thanks to some all new connectivity features you will be able to hone your fighting skills via the Random Matchup mode, using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Pokemon: White Version gives you the chance to see the Legendary Pokemon Zekrom! Zekrom can disappear inside thunderclouds and fly across the skies.
