Easter Eggs

Uncover hidden secrets in Pokémon Black and White! Find the GAME FREAK offices, learn about the New York City map inspiration, meet an Ex-Rocket, and hear the Super Thrash Bros. secret.

Hey there! So you're looking to dig up some of the cool little secrets tucked away in Pokémon Black and White? Awesome! These aren't your typical gameplay mechanics, but more like fun little nods and surprises the developers put in. Let's check 'em out!

GAME FREAK Offices

You know how GAME FREAK is the company that makes Pokémon? Well, they actually have an office you can visit in the game! Head over to Castelia City. If you follow the main path, you'll find their offices on the right side. There's even a bit of a challenge waiting for you there once you've beaten the main story, so keep it in mind for later!

New York New York

This one's pretty neat: the whole World Map in Pokémon Black and White is actually based on the real-life New York City. Pretty cool how they incorporated that, right?

Ex-Rocket

Time for a little detective work! Make your way to Icirrus City. Look for a house located in the southeast part of the city, down a dead-end street. Inside, you'll find a Biker. Chat with him, and you'll discover he used to be a member of Team Rocket! And get this, he apparently had a pretty unique way of speaking back then.

Super Thrash Bros

So, you know the move Thrash, where your Pokémon just unleashes a bunch of punches? Well, there's a hidden surprise! If you listen closely when your Pokémon uses Thrash, the punches actually sync up with the melody of a famous tune – specifically, the beginning of the classic Super Mario Bros. theme. How fun is that?
