 ===A Fresh Start===
 [[File:Pokemon White Boxart JP.png|thumb|left|Pokémon White box]]On February 7, 2010, [[Pokémon Sunday]] revealed a new Pokémon: {{p|Zoroark}}. [[Generation V]] was dawning, and it quickly became clear that even though the new games, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]], would again be on the Nintendo DS platform, everything about them will be quite new. In an unexpected move, Nintendo revealed that no old Pokémon would be available this time around until after the story is over, effectively giving both new and old Trainers in [[Unova]], a region based on New York rather than Japan, a completely fresh experience. On September 18, 2010, when the games were released in Japan, {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|156 new Pokémon}} were introduced, making this the biggest Pokémon generation yet.
-Similar to [[Generation IV]] Black and white maintained the 24-hour time system, Physical and Special moves, but it also introduced a new concept of [[Seasons]], where the seasons change every month. The time system was also altered to fit the seasons. In the Summer the days last longer while in Winter the days are shorter, reflecting real life. Pokemon sprites now move constantly throughout the battle, rather than using the method introduced in Pokemon Crystal. [[Pokemon Contests]] have been replaced with a new feacture, [[Pokemon Musical]],where players dress up their pokemon with accessories and then dance on stage. [[Triple Battles]] were introduced, where three pokemon fight at once, though it is not merely an extension to [[Double Battle]]s-the position of the pokemon is an important factor in Triple battles.

+The anime was quick to follow in a new series, {{series2|Best Wishes}}. Unlike previous generatoins, no Pokemon from Generation V were shown in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, though the Pokemon movie [[M13| Zoroark Master of Illusions]], featured {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} as major characters, and this was the only time Generation V Pokemon were shown before the {{series2|Best Wishes}}.
+Similar to the original series, Ash's companions this time around are two Gym Leaders: {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}}. Like the games, the new series was also given a facelift. No pokemon from previous Generations (apart from [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{TR|Meowth}}) are shown in the episodes, and no music form previous series is used, instead using music based on Pokemon Black and White. Even Ash was given aesthetic changes to his eyes.
