* BreatherBoss: The 7th Gym Leader, Brycen, is probably the easiest gym battle in the game. His Pokémon include Vanillish, Cryogonal, and Beartic which are all pure-Ice types and are weak to four different types. They can all be knocked out in one or two hits.

* HollywoodNewEngland: Humilau City is most likely based off of Fairfield County (particularly Greenwich), Connecticut.

* HealingShiv: The move Healing Pulse, which only works on a target other than the user. It's supposed to be used for Double and Triple Battles, [[AIRoulette but if you're lucky enough]] a high-leveled wild Audino may use it on you.
* HelpfulMook: Higher level Audino may heal you with Healing Pulse. In addition, there are trainers classified as Doctors and Nurses. Defeat them, and they will then heal your entire party to full every time you talk to them afterwards. Very useful, since they tend to be positioned deep in caves/Routes.

* GameOfNim: In the Dream World, you can play a game against ghost-type Pokémon where the players take turns blowing out candles. Some candles, however, give you extra points, while others subtract them, and later ones take two turns to extinguish.

** In Nacrene Gym one of the children's books you can read is about [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} "Two boys and a girl on a Pokémon Journey"]].

* ExcusePlot: Actually averted this time. ''Platinum'' averted ''some'' of it before (by giving the subplot more of an emphasis than it had in ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl''), but in ''Black'' and ''White'', the plot is literally ''everywhere'', up to [[spoiler:the ending at the Pokémon League]].

''Pokémon Black and White'' are the first half of the fifth generation of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', made for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS. The games were released on September 18, 2010 in Japan; March 4, 2011 in Europe; March 6, 2011 in the U.S.; and March 10, 2011 in Australia and New Zealand.

Unlike the previous UsefulNotes/NintendoDS installments, ''Black and White'' support the more-secure-than-WEP WPA encryption, as well as the revised [=WPA2=] encryption, when playing online; this requires a [=DSi=], [=DSi=] XL, or [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS 3DS]], however, as the original DS and DS Lite do not have hardware support for WPA.

* CatchPhrase: "I'm a heartbreaker. My name... Charles."

* {{Bishonen}}: N and Cheren are on the pretty side. The Striaton City Gym Leaders Cilan, Chili, and Cress may count as well.

** Before Alder hands the player the Light Stone[[note]]Black Version[[/note]] or Dark Stone[[note]]White Version[[/note]] in Nacrene City, [[spoiler: he mentions to the player that they will have to battle N if Alder gets defeated. After the player defeats the Elite Four, the player finds out that N defeated Alder, leaving the player to battle N after they capture Reshiram (Black Version) or Zekrom (White Version).
