Easily my favorite pokemon game. Takes everything from the first Black and White like the amazing sprite-work, awesome region design, and characters and just expands upon it. There are now even more areas in Unova with pokemon from other regions being available from the start, something that was missing from the og Black and White. And unlike platinum and emerald which were simple rereleases, this game is a full on sequel which is just awesome to me. This game also houses one of the best post games in a pokemon game with multiple battle facilities, each one good, along with being able to revisit starting areas from Black and White. I absolutely love this game and would highly recommend it, my only issues are some minor pacing issues, but its nothing like as bad as Heart gold and Soul Silver I think.
