I'll be honest, I forgot I even played through this. From what I remember, much better than Pokemon Black. Way better post-game or at least, the potential for a way better post-game. I didn't spend all that much time with it because at this point, I just don't know if I care about Pokemon all that much if I'm not actively playing with someone.
This series should go back to sprite art.

I can't say I love it as much as Black 1, but neither feels complete without the other.
massive improvement from bw. the pwt was one of the best features that any pokemon game has ever had
the peak of the franchise, only thing worse is its story and rival.
Grew on me a lot really does feel like a sequel and remixes the region that is superior to the previous games imo. Yeah sure we are back to square one with the writing but like whateverrr.
hey remember like 8 years ago when everyone said black and white fucking sucked and now weve all just come to the agreement its the best, because i do and personally i couldnt be happier
again, pokemon peaked on the ds
Unova best gen
the absolute peak of the series in pretty much every way
This review contains spoilers
The absolutely neccessary sequel to the second best generation ever created, remake when?
Best mainline game dont @ me
brabo
A Pokemon game with good end game??????????
Of all the Pokemon games in the series,this is the most well rounded and polished game easily. This is the peak of the franchise
peak pokemon experience
The pinnacle of Pokémon. I hope the series reaches this height again, as I know it's capable.
like i understand why they can't make PWT again but it was so fun

Actually mad how I ended up loving this, always had a complicated relationship with the 5th gen of Pokémon. I played Black when it was first released, don't even think I played past the first two gyms because I hated everything about it, look, story etc..
I gave Black another chance recently and was quite pleasantly surprised, especially story-wise it's a pretty awesome game and while not one of my favourite Pokémon games, still so much better than I first thought.
Went on to play Black 2 and was so disappointed again. Nothing really held my interest, I didn't care much for the opening area, the farm etc.. then I came to Pokéwood and the fashion show gym and kept thinking that lots of the very modern elements felt a bit forced and I didn't really care about it much.
So I usually keep playing a Pokémon game to satisfy my completionism and so I did, reluctantly, but I paused it for a long time when I got to Chargestone Cave. Picked it up again months later and from there on I slowly grew to love the game. I changed my team so that it would only include gen 5 Pokémon (I initially planned to use several Eevee forms), and had a lot of fun with the new Pokémon that I still wasn't too familiar with after only playing Black once.
Well, the rest of the main game was already pretty cool but I think the point where I just thought that it was absolutely incredible was when I got to the Black Tower, spent hours on that challenge and adored it, and a lot of the other post-game stuff is cool as well.
So yeah, difficult relationship with the generation but it all turned out well. Almost got a bit emotional exploring the first routes in the end of the game, and I'm not sure why I didn't like it at first.
My team was pretty spontaneous, I sometimes put some effort into planning it but here I just took a few Pokémon I encountered on the way, so I ended up with Serperior, Eelektross, Zoroark, Chandelure and Krookodile (sixth spot was for HM slaves).

Kyurem be like
same problem as the other gen 5 games (bad starters)
My favorite games growing up, I remember just spending so much time never actually beating the game and doing local multiplayer stuff with my friends, it was so much fun. This series unlike so many others just makes playing with other people more fun in simple ways.
The best mainline, official game in the series. A shame about everything afterwards...
I need to play this again, in fact I need to refresh myself on the DS games period.
it's all downhill from here
The Apex of the mainline franchise
Interesting to see a sequel attempted with pokemon but its otherwise pretty standard.
Somehow even worse than the first.
Pretty much the same as the previous game in the series but has a continued story and pokemon outside the unove dex to catch from the start. Rounds off a great gen.
I would love this game even more if not for the mandatory minigame stuff. I don't care about PokeStar Studios, don't make me do this nonsense.
