Generation V is seen as a major departure point for the series. While the Generations preceding it often adhered to the formula [[Generation I]] had established, Generation V did several things that broke the mold. Setting itself in a region where Pokémon from previous generations could not be caught as well as putting out dual sequels instead of a third version like previous generations had done are several examples of how this generation broke the mold, inspiring future generations of Pokémon to do the same. | |||

The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon. This comes from the concept of Yin and Yang, which the legendary mascots of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, are based on, with another reference being that Reshiram is the mascot of Black and Zekrom being the mascot of White—both are opposite colored to the game's color, while version mascots beforehand had always matched. The [[Swords of Justice]] also represent this theme as they are trying to prevent Pokémon from losing their natural habitats to human industry. The generation's main antagonists, [[Team Plasma]], also fit in with this theme, as their goal is to separate Pokémon from humans. Some of the cities also reflect this theme by being aesthetically different depending on the version of the game; two major examples of this are [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], two version-exclusive locations. The {{pkmn|Dream World}}, which is supposed to combine dreams and reality, also fits into this theme. | The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon.
