![]() N is short for Natural Harmonia Gropius, his name referencing both his love of math and of the natural world - despite being human, he's capable of talking to and understanding the speech of Pokemon, having been raised by them as a small child before being adopted by his foster father (who may be his biological father and temporarily abandoned him only to re-adopt him as part of a greater plan, but this is never stated). The first one is, of course, the beloved one, who introduces himself to you as just N. ![]() You'll definitely interact with the first one, since he plays a major role in the plot, and depending on what you enjoy challenging in the postgame you might bump into the second one if you're good enough at the game. In fact, Black and White actually have at least two autistic-coded characters, and interestingly they can actually be contrasted with each other in terms of family experience. Their greatest strength was that they had more emphasis on the story than games past and provided more engaging characters to interact with, one of whom is widely regarded as one of the most beloved characters in the franchise altogether, if the amount of fan content is anything to go by.Īnd said beloved character is very much autistic-coded. The first games to not be based on a region of Japan, Black and White introduced a number of new features and were more experimental than probably every other Pokemon game to date, and as such they were received with mixed reviews from fans at the time but have largely grown to be cult classics in the fandom since. The fifth generation of Pokemon games, Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, take place in a region called Unova, which is loosely based on my home region of the greater New York City metropolitan area. I'm going to talk about a game that's a bit closer to home, though - literally. Original protagonist Red, who last appeared as an adult in Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, is portrayed in the games as a man of few words although in the first games, Red and Green/Blue, this was because he was the player character and was designed for the player to project onto, in later games where he appears he often seems selectively mute, which I've seen many autistic Pokemon fans run with, many even drawing fanart of him communicating using sign language. (I've actually discovered I'm pretty good at breeding for stats!) The more I've gotten to know the characters in the franchise, the more I've noticed a lot of them resonate with me as an autistic person, and I think that's worth discussing, if only because various sources cite Satoshi Tajiri, the series creator, as autistic (and whether or not it's confirmed, it's definitely possible if you look at certain elements in the series, in particular collecting things, animal empathy, and eye contact being a form of aggression). I've been playing a lot of Pokemon to deal with the stress of the pandemic. In Black City and White Forest, there are new battle areas known as the Black Tower or White Treehollow.This is the 100th post on this blog and I'm using it to talk about video games, go figure. This battle is a standard MultiBattle and all the other trainers have three Pokémon. ![]() In Striaton City, the former Gym Leaders, Cilan, Chili and Cress, will each offer you to join them in battle against the other two. She will challenge you and will be able to be rebattled on a daily basis Like in Black & White, Cynthia can be found in Undella Town during the Spring and the Summer. ![]() When you visit after you have become Champion, Alder will state that he has heard of your skills and wishes to see them in battle. These trainers are often old ones who will challenge you to keep your training up Floccesy Town - AlderĪlder is battleable in Floccesy Town. Like past Pokémon games, Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 have got numerous trainers that you battle in the post-game.
