Black City and White Forest artwork

While previous Generations of Pokemon games only featured version exclusive Pokemon, Black and White also contains an exclusive area. If you have Pokemon Black, you will come across a place called Black City, while in Pokemon White you will visit a place called White Forest.

The City itself

The Black City is a very built up city, with lots of modern buildings with shops and trainers to battle. There isn't much at first, but as days go by the player will find that there is more and more to see. However, this can change if the player frequently changes the clock, and the city will become quite desolate, with few buildings and no trainers..

Features

The number of trainers and buildings within the city changes according to how long it took you to reach the area, and how often you battle the trainers. At any one time, 12 of the inhabitants (at most) are trainers, and all their pokemon are fully evolved. Which trainers appear are chosen at random. The items available in the market also depend on which trainers are available that day.

To change the trainers that appear, the player will have to visit another player's White Forest and interacting with the characters there. This may cause them to migrate to the player's Black City, allowing them to be battled.

Regardless of the number of inhabitants, two trainers are always present. These will engage the player in one-time only rotation battles.

Trainers

These are chosen randomly, always have fully-evolved pokemon, and can migrate from another player's White Forest.
