The '''fifth generation''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|第五世代|だいごせだい}}''' ''fifth generation'') of Pokémon is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, {{game|Black and White|s}}, were released as a pair. However, unlike previous generations, the games were followed by two sequels—{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}—instead of a third version. For the first time since [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} (following the internal identification of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} rather than the advertised console), the games were released on the same platform as [[Generation IV|the previous generation]]'s core series titles, in this case the [[Nintendo DS]]. | |||
[[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is based on an area outside of {{wp|Japan}}, drawing inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}. | [[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations.
