Pokémon Black and White (ポケットモンスターホワイト・ブラック Poketto Monsutā Burakku Howaito?, "Pocket Monsters: Black & White") are the two primary paired games in the fifth generation of Pokémon role-playing games. They are being developed by Game Freak, and published by Nintendo, for the Nintendo DS. They were released on September 18, 2010 in Japan, and will be released in Spring of 2011 in other regions. Among the new Pokémon to debut are the three starter Pokémon, Tsutarja, Pokabu and Mijumaru, along with Zoroark and its pre-evolution Zorua, and two legendaries, Reshiram and Zekrom. The games feature several new technological updates, including full 3D movement, routes and cities, and a redesigned battle scene. They take place in a new region known as Isshu, which is said to be a foreign area, located far from the previous regions.
