The story, which is for a children's game, tries to do some literal Watchmen level type-ish. I have no idea what this game was even about. Not when I was a kid and still not now as an adult. I will say, Black 2 thankfully simplified the story after this. I like how they stopped bringing old Pokémon back and decided to be bold sticking to an entirely new generation of Pokémon. I really like the Pokémon in this generation. Oshawatt, Zoroark, and Kyurem are especially Kino. Maybe it's bias, I have a more vivid memory of this generation because I was the target audience when the TV series was airing on Cartoon Network. So, It does have a special place in my memories. The gyms are great, new Pokémon rock, and the soundtrack is phenomenal (Driftveil n Castelia kino). However, the progression needs work. Still too much grinding and I always hated how the entire right side of the region is locked off as POST GAME CONTENT. Like nah, that's doing too much. Overall, this game was just ok. Over hated, though without a doubt, this is the generation that gave birth to "Genwunners." Still, I prefer it over Platinum.
