No. 87: Pokemon Black and White – 100 Greatest Games Ever

Laugh it off as a kid's game all you want, but there's a reason so many people tried to catch all those damn Pokémon. Over 150 brand-new Pokémon are included in this installment, which doesn't reinvent the wheel so much as further refine it.

You'll still play a young trainer who learns all about his or her new job to fight other trainers, all the while fighting off the criminal Team Plasma. But new battle mechanics and improved graphics help change up the old style nicely, making the wait for this version well worth it.
