Pokemon Black is not supported by TWLoader. This means you need a DS flashcart to be able to play it on the 3DS. A DS flashcart is really cheap.
You mean I need a R4 flashcart. What about 3desmume, does this support the Pokémon game? I heard that emulator is for New 3ds only.
There's no actual emulator worth of using on 3DS.
Your options are either using actual DS cart for 3DS OR using some old DS cart (like original R4) with ApacheThunder's R4 Stage2 TWL Flashcart Launcher.
That first one is kinda easier, but that second option is literaly dirt-cheap.

Well that's a bummer! Do you know other alternatives to TWLoader? Or any high fps emulators for 3ds?

I have a question. Can you use cheats on TWLoader?
either wait for TWLoader to improve or get a cheap flashcart or but the real game.
no other option really.

There's a difference between an emulator and running something natively that I should address here.
At it's core, an emulator tries to use software to mimic and older system/console it has nothing in common with (different architecture, parts etc.). Though this allows one to play older games on newer devices, this takes a toll on the CPU, meaning that things often do not run unless the newer system is significantly more powerful than the older system. The 3ds is only a slight step above the DS, meaning emulation on it would be extremely difficult. It would lag, chug, and have an extremely low compatibility list. Atm, the now dead 3desmume can only play 1 game at a playable state, and that's Yoshi's island ds, and even then it runs at a super low framerates without sound.
Next there's natively running game backups, which nintendont for wii and twloader use. Essentially, you're simulating a game card/disc being inserted into the machine. The upside is that games run at near perfection, with little to no graphical glitches/ slowdown. On Wii with nintendont, there were no downsides, since simulating a disc being inserted is very easy to do by the nature of how they work. DS cartridges on the other hand are a special case. In simple terms, when you run a DS game, and it asks for a file, say the Sprite of Pikachu, the code doesn't just say "load the pikachu file". It says "go into the cartridge slot, go here, find Pikachu, and load it". This makes things significantly harder, since the file loading itself needs to be patched. This leads to a lower compatibility list, and minor stuttering. The DS mode on a 3ds also has a low sd card read/write speed, therefore increasing stuttering and load times. It's amazing frankly twloader exists at all. Anyway, hope this cleared things up about DS emulation.
EDIT: Also, the reason flashcarts don't have this issue is complicated, but they have their own patching software that speeds things up by a huge margin. Also, since it's actually in the cartridge slot, nothing needs to be patched saying that it needs to be loaded from the cartridge slot like sd loading.

Idk if paypal and bank companys would let you buy a piracy device though.

They do, it's not even really established as a piracy device anyways and I'm sure the banks and paypal could care less what it is unless it can be used as a weapon or for something else seriously illegal like counterfeiting money.
Yeah but then my essay above would be in vein. Either way, the OP most likely wants to play them on the go, probably lacking an Android device to do so.

You can add platform character behavior to any sprite, just disable the default controls for it, and make it jump/move in your code. The rectangle behavior is cool too for enemies. -

It makes it move around constantly in different directions, like a enemy moving back n forth from one side to other

Yea it does. And you can add platform character behavior to your own charcter, and it will have move and jump already setup for you, space bar is jump, arrows move
